Skye has not long finished hers so she was 9 months old, only change in her behaviour was becoming more clingy and had a couple of days where i had to encourage her to eat. I think keeping them busy is invaluable, tiring them out and not pampering them, as Mazz said there not really sure what's happening but boy they don't half become a tart whilst on! Skye was very clean with hers, we kept her in the kitchen on the tiles and i didn't notice many drops, when i did and went to get the mop i came back and it had gone

It was only when she sat outside when we had some snow that i saw any!
As for the grooming the dryer is also a hate of theirs....titon cries like a baby but there the same with the hoover and hair dryer so i believe it is the noise they don't like
I am getting Skye spayed after her next season xx
