We have an Irish Red and White setter and she is broken in the head. Not her fault, she was one of a litter of 17 of which 12 survived so we think she got the short end of the stick brain wise, that is :lol: .
So about 12 weeks ago she decided to go mental when there was a storm and fire works going off and I just had enough so I tossed her out into teh pool cage to get over it by herself as nothing I had done was helping.
We had all the just weened buns - three litters worth - in a big cage right by her dog door.
When I put her out into the noise she looked at the bunnies, the bunnies that were perfectly calm and quiet despite the noise and wind and fireworks and lightning and thunder..............
And she lay down between her dog door and the rabbit cage and went to sleep.
She was totally calmed down by the danged rabbits. :shock: And she has stayed as good as its possible for her to be for the entire time we were fattening them up.
But we have now eaten some and sold the rest and taken the cage down and our poor dog is, once again, a basket case. Stealing garbage, stealing food off the tables, cringing and hiding from storms and going mental at feeding time and not totally house broken once again.
I really dont want rabbits in the pool cage anymore but I might have to, just to help keep the dog sane. :lol:
