We took our vets advice to have our Foxy boy put to sleep.
Apparently both our foxies barked when we were gone. Not one Neighbour bothered to tell us.
But what we found out purley by luck was that when they would bark the elderly gentleman ( I use that term lightly) came to the fence with his walking stick trying to hit Digger.
We wondered why he was shying away for MrP when he started using his own walking stick.
And Pure luck, MrP was working in the garage with the door only open a tiny bit. I went out, the dogs thinking both os us did.
They started barking and MrP heard the neighbour come to the fence going ballistic at poor Digger.
We took him to the vet to make sure he hadn't been hit. But the vet said he would probably always shy away from anyone using a Walking stick, including MrP. We even tried a different stick.
So we had our boy put to sleep for his own sake. Bella missed him soo much that in the end she went and stayed with one of our friends who had another dog she knew. she needed company and Always had.
She came to us with a wound around her neck from being on a chain all her life. She was never tied up with us or with our friend.
Our First German shepherd as a kid didn't like Maoris either, which wasn't great when my sister and family arrived as she has married a Māori. We had to shut him in a huge run while they visited.
