Hi Amy,

I'm not sure why Zorion is whining… Could be behavioural, could be some lingering phantom pain? Have you asked your vet about it yet? Hopefully our own Dr. Pam will have some words of wisdom for you…

My dog Chloe (recent amp, 8 days ago) is just very talkative in general, even from a young age. Sometimes when the humans are having a conversation she starts "rooing" at us (wagging tail of course) and my dad encourages this by making similar noises back to her. They have quite the conversation the two of them. She also just whines at random times during the day even when she is with her favorite human (me!) all day long, regardless of how much attention she gets and how long she gets to go outside. For us, this is normal. There was incessant whining when we got back from the vet post amp, but it since it was an abnormal whining length, we figured she was in pain and needed meds. We call her a big baby cuz she whines and talks to us all the time, but that is just how she normally is.  I am sure you will figure out what your dog's whining is all about. Just takes some investigation and time, but best of luck to your amped pup! Wow I just realized that last part rhymed…

Hi guys,

When he is outside, he is there with my Labrador, Jenny, so he isn't alone. They aren't actually outside a lot of the time, come to think of it, there is a couple hours in the morning while I'm at work, then I'm home from around lunch time. They get let in when I get home, we head down to the stables around 4 in the afternoon, then they are outside for dinner when we get back. It is after they have dinner and are outside while us humans eat that he carries on the most. After our dinner, they are back inside :) And of course, they still sleep in my room, and in Zorion's case, on the bed.

So yes, it's probably just a jealousy, 'I want in' whine.

Jakes Mom – I asked my friend the vet, who did his amputation, and she said it COULD be phantom pain, but 3 months on is a little late for it to be happening. She said he's just being a sook :)

He is doing marvelously well – I think so anyway – and he beats me on the bike when we go to the stables. I'm trying to put a LITTLE bit more weight on him, but he's just burning it off too quick.

Here's one of the latest pictures of Zorion and Jenny.

Haha that's not even the worst of the ears! He's still growing into them :P Hopefully, one day, his ears won't look so giant on his head.
