Can you tell Arda doesn't like them? :chris: For everyday, they just aren't practical or safe. You can use it for special occasions, or photo shoots.

I just always thought, dogs scratch at their collars sometimes and when they have a spiked collar on how does that feel on their tootsies? :chris:

Any updates on Felix? I'd love to hear how he's settling in and how the house training is going.

Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I have been very busy with school work recently. Felix is doing great; he hasn't had any accidents in a while. He is also doing better on walks, we are working on his focus on me and that is going well too. The best thing is that he is gaining his weight back, his ribs aren't as visible and his chest and back legs are gaining muscle back. Felix is such a great dog, he makes me really happy. It is so nice to come home to a dog that likes to cuddle when you are stressed.

what a nice update :flower: . They are so willing to please us aren't they?

I'm so glad to hear things are going well and Felix is settling into his new home. Yes, Dobermans are a wonderful thing to come home to. Their "Velcro" tendencies are one of the nicest things about them. Good luck with school. Sounds like you have your hands full for a while, but please stop by here and say hi when you get the chance :flower:

I thought I would post some new pictures of Felix. He is a goofy guy, but he is doing much better with obedience and he now has free roam of the house while my husband and I are away.

Yeah, they are friends, Felix has been really good with him from the start. It used to be that when they were around each other all they would do was play. One would get the other all riled up. They are at the point now where they can actually be calm together. The funny thing is, the cat's name is Spike and I got him six months before Felix.

Love your pictures, I love the one with Felix on the bed facing
the camera with his feet hanging there too. Just too cute.
He looks like a confident handsome boy. Love your cat
too.
