Newbie

Hi, newbie here to the forum.

I'm dad to a 9 year old Blue called 'Bella' who we rescued when she was 9 months old.

I've joined the forum as I have a couple of questions regarding a refusal to walk so would appreciate any feedback

Thanks
Billy

Hi Billy, welcome to the forum from Misty and I. Lovely to hear about the rescue. Can't wait to hear all about Bella.

Hi, how do I post photos of Bella?

Hi & Welcome from Flo and me

There are a couple of ways to post pictures with instructions at this link https://staffy-bull-terrier.niceboard.com/t12017-how-to-post-a-picture-onto-the-forum

Regarding the not wanting to walk, our girl refuses to walk to the park which is only 5 mins away but is more than happy to jump in the car and be driven to the park. Some may say she’s being a bit of a princess

So a couple of questions about not wanting to walk. Was it raining? If so then you’ll know that most Staffies hate the rain.

Has she had a fright on her usual walk, for instance, a truck rushing by?

Is she walking ok otherwise, I mean if you pop her in the car and then walk in the park? If she isn’t then pop her along to the vets in case she’s pulled a muscle or something, it could even be a touch of arthritis at that age but should be manageable.
