Call your veterinarian and ask if it's okay if you go there once every other day or so, and just sit in the waiting room. Bring a treat you know he loves. Sit in the waiting room until he calms down and take the treat(s), then leave ONLY when he's calm and relaxed. Don't leave when he's anxious. If the veterinarian and the people who work there are okay with it, make them come and give him treats, praise, then leave. He should soon come to feel like this is a place where he gets treats and attention. At home, work with him on getting his teeth checked, his ears and the rest of his body. Once he's comfortable with this, put him on a table and continue the work there. The floor and a table can make all the difference in whether a dog is comfortable or not. Good luck!
What my B did while I was at work on Friday

I keep my Bs corralled in the kitchen (it's a big one) with all dangers removed, just a crate, a couple of rugs and the a whole bunch of toys. Should be enough to keep a couple of Bs busy - right? :rolleyes: NOT!! When I got home I found my dog's crate crammed with Tupperware:p It was hilarious!! Someone had left the plasticware cabinet open just a tiny bit and she decided she needed some food storage items. Maybe she's going to start stashing food away for the winter. I have a picture of the crate and will post it when I figure out how.

thanks! i needed a laugh.

My mental picture is of the crate absolutely crammed to the gills with the tupperware
-
Well we are getting near fall, I suppose its time to stock up for the long winter months.
-
Lol. Aren't they just the best dogs!

Lycia is a sucker for tupperware… when I'm loading or unloading the dishwasher, I have to be extra aware or I'll go back in my room and find eaten tupperware treasures.

Personally EL D doesn't so much go for the tupperware style - he prefers that hard plastic that batteries and things are packaged in. I can't ever get those packages open so I just give the whole thing to EL D and he rips it apart in no time

Can't wait to see the picture!
