​

Cashew, a four-year old tan miniature dachshund has had two major back operations in 2020. To help him walk again, his mum got him a “doggie wheel chair” to help him relearn to walk.

Cashew doesn’t let anything hold him back and makes it very clear what he likes, dislikes, and will put up with.

​

Some of the things he’s let his mum (Robyn) know that he loves are:

• Food (the K9 Experience of course) Gourmet chicken, with vegetables & rice;

• Pigs ears for treats (after winning the December K9 Star of the month, Cashew will receive a supply of treats from the K9 Experience this will change, I’m sure)

• Loves it when visitors to see “him”

• Happy to share his time playing with other dogs, and meeting new people while going for walks.

• Makes a game of barking at people and dogs passing his house

• Absolutely loves getting cuddles, being nursed while being wrapped in a blanket.

• Believe it or not: he loves going to the Vet!!

• If you come to visit ‘his’ house, you must remember that he loves being the centre of attention.

• And of course, he loves toys to chew
   

What Cashew can’t tolerate are:

• Going for rides in the car – all that movement that he hasn’t got control of.

• Being an attention seeker, he hates being ignored and not being the centre of attention.

• Waiting for his dinner – he knows when his dinner time is and how it better not be late….

• As he thinks he’s perfect, he doesn’t see why he needs to have a bath, so he lets his mum know how much he dislikes them when she tries to give him one.

What he doesn’t LIKE but will tolerate if he has to are:

• Water therapy for his back & Walking in his paddle pool- can’t blame him – he’s pretty close to the ground. Ha ha
