Seems like the ’bot took the weekend off.

    Batdog made it through the night. Fought strong and self soothed with a heartbeat bear and a blanket from his litter.

    Still very clingy and not interested in food, but loves lots of cuddles, head scratches, and belly rubs.

      How old is he? I find it really hard to tell with brachycephalic dogs.

            Very small. Time to put in the hard work though. The lady I got him from was very Ill from her breast cancer and chemo, so she did what she could and kept him happy, but there’s a lot of work to do

        Surprisingly he’s into a bit of Greek yoghurt but does love his plastic bone for a bit of a nibble

      We didn’t have a heartbeat bear, but we did give ours a warm heat pack when he was little. He loved that.

        Might try that tomorrow night. I’ve had to take the bear and place it on top of the crate so he doesn’t eat him.

        But a heat pack wrapped in one of my jumpers might be good. My smell on clothes is like a calming drug for him

        Bit of a cutie that’s for sure. Those eyes when I’m training him are little Heartbreakers
