Totally - soph clearly loves that dog, but you can show kindness to your dog by meeting its basic needs, which like you said, is walking, running, stimulation and good food. Less chemicals sprayed around the house may also be good for him too long term. There’s so much information on the internet now from dog psychologists/ behaviourists about how to keep your pets healthy and happy. Ditch the birthday cakes and fake Prosecco (whatever it was she was pouring him) and take that dog for a birthday run about - bet he’d love that!Yep I have a collie. Had her from 8weeks. She’s now 15. But acts like a puppy. Her coat is glossy, she’s the proper weight and loves to run. Dogs aren’t hard to look after. They just need love, walks, proper stimulation and proper food. Sophie is killing Henry. I know it’s not malicious she loves him but she’s killing him with that kindness
