Jack's Sleeping Positions

Jack likes to sleep all over the car porch that has been at his disposal.....

Of course, he also has his big crate to hide inside too.....

Jack likes to sleep near the main door and he can somehow curl up the door mat and sleeps amongst our slippers......

I saw Jack sleeping with his back against the wall but then the next minute, he turned his body around with much ease and faced the wall instead...ha...ha.....

Jack sleeping in front of the main door but we saw his claw caught in his collar a few times, as highlighted in the red circle.

Apparently, he does not mind it and can easily get it out from the collar......ha....ha...

Jack, you are a funny Beagle...but we love you anyway..!

Auto-Feeder Survived

Hi,

After a week of locking down the auto-feeder, it seems to work so far though I caught Jack trying to open it up and dragging it out of its place.

I gave him a good scolding and pushed him away once so I think he more or less got the message.

But as you can see in the photo below, he has scratched the plastic covering the auto-feeder.

I need to replace the plastic bag and find a better way to hold it down.

Auto-Feeder Locked Down

Hi,

I have to do something to prevent Jack from tearing my auto-feeder apart overnight for his food inside it.

I wrapped a plastic bag and tied some string around the auto-feeder and tied it to a hook on the wall as I do not want Jack to drag the auto-feeder to the gate and I may lose it....




So that's how I tried to lock down the auto-feeder.

Well, it worked last night .......

And guess what happened in the morning...?

I found Jack hiding in his crate when I came out to check the auto-feeder....

Why?
You can see Jack's nose in the middle hole of the crate.....ha...ha......

I think he must have felt guilty as he did tried to push the auto-feeder and it was out of its original position.... he must be scared of being beaten on his backside again or scolded by me...ha...ha...


I also only put food into one tray now so as not to tempt him to break into the auto-feeder as I think he can smell the food inside it....


Well, let see how long this will work.....ha...ha....

Auto-Feeder Forced Open

Jack is getting out of hand as he forced open the auto-feeder and ate up the next few meals in the tray....sigh



Greedy dog....!

Naughty dog too...!

He did it twice over 2 consecutive nights ....sneaky old dog....!

But say that he is smart too as I put 4 tapes to hold the cover down and he managed to figure out how to remove the tapes after a few attempts...!

Jack, what am I going to do with you...?

No treats for a day as I am so mad with him today.

He could have spoilt the expensive auto-feeder.


He also pushed it out of the gate and it could have been removed by passer-bys or the garbage collector thinking it is meant for disposal......sigh

The purpose of the auto-feeder was to feed him around 7am so that he will not bark for his meal and wake up the neighbourhood.

Also, if we are out in the evening ...so he can still get his meal at 7pm.

Jack, you better behave or else......

Jack Shedding Hair

Jack has been shedding a lot of hair lately.....

While I was away for a week, my son called me to inform me that he is shedding a lot of hair especially at his hind legs near his buttocks.

My first reaction was is there any exposure of skin and was it reddish or sore...?

No exposed skin or soreness.....!

Thanks God,....so I told him to wait for my return home.

Jack does shed quite a bit of his hair but I think no one has brushed his coat so his loose hair became more evident and caused unnecessary alarm.

Also, I wonder whether the current hot spell of weather could have caused more shedding than usual.

Anyway, I brushed his coat upon my return home and did it for a few days consecutively and he is back to normal.....

Here is a photo of a bag half full with Jack's loose hair.....
