This advice is well worth repeating She is a new puppy ..she needs to feel secure , and that her meal time is hers

Oh my - she does have an irresistible face ! I am in love LOL. Have watched this video multiple times ..it just makes me smile

Hi - where did your dog come from ? it may be she has learned to gulp food before it's all gone , or before someone else takes it! Feed her seperately ..do NOT let her watch you preparing food ...use a special bowl ...and try feeding her large turkey necks, or 1/;2 chickens- frozen . She can't gulp those ;)

And there you have it . Maybe some new habits need to be learned by everyone Alarming a youngster with lots of clattering things may indeed cause repercussions .

I dare say their brain would be a tad overloaded at present .... lots happening

@chrlsrand That is an awful situation . taking a puppy is a generous offer - BUT raising a teeny singleton is not easy when done properly . I have worked with dogs most of my life ..and dealt with tiny pups ..like many of the good DOL members here have . At present having a 3 wk old would be too much for me ..I need my sleep , and am no good anymore with routine. The work is constant , like a newborn human baby , plus it will need absolute isolation to protect against viral infections and children will not be allowed to play with it - it's too small . A puppy needs so much more than food ... and this time in a puppy's life is where it learns to speak DOG, to act DOG , and habits to last a lifetime. being with mum, and/or littermates provides mental and physical stimulation essential to becoming a dog of decent temperament . Rural Pug has made a wonderful offer!! I do hope it can be acted upon - it will take a huge load of everyone's shoulders.

There has to be an explanation for this .... a very short time ago , you didn't think your family could cope with a pup/dog . you were doing your homework , and had a lot to learn , you said ... I am still hoping the numbers are wrong and that you will post that really, you have an 8 week old puppy , all healthy, vaccinated and chipped You have children , right? What did you do with them as teeny babies on car trips etc ? Pups are not much different. They need to be contained in a carrier/crate .

or some squished sardine ?

Mix with vegemite , or honey ? How many mls per dose?

ermmm..just WHY are you collecting a 3 week old puppy ? Did the mother die or something? Throwing up in the car is the least of your worries , I would think ....

Dear little girl .... Sorry she had to leave you that way , DDD... Horrible to be a part of

Yes! I have old photos somewhere of a willywag keeping a whistling kite off a raw chopbone I threw out!!The kite had no hope .

LOL.... yes, autocorrect is often a 'funner' game than actual games!! having unchoked rice isn't a good idea

No - I've not found any evidence of any sort of bone in the 3 brands I've bought . Someone , though was angry because of bone shards, which, they said were sharp enough to cut her dog's stomach when eaten. Is ground bone used in these dog rolls? I buy it for treats / something extra for the geriatrics ... and for my bantam chooks - they adore it as a treat !!

That's a sad update . She is not enjoying life anymore , poor little munchkin .

wow!!! that is being very familiar

Just as long as the ravens don't drop bits of 1080 -laced wing-tips etc ..

Yes

Never a problem here - have you contacted them to ask ?

Foxes are indeed masters of using all their senses. Think I've mentioned on here that 20 or so yrs ago ..foxes were almost as thick as blowflies here ! I once saw one stealing the dogs' food ...while another acted as a distraction .. Once I took a dog & torch away from the house a bit to try & see one off - the dog would hunt foxes. What happened? saw foxes'eyes .. told dog to do her thing ..and could hear running pads on teh clay track ... galloop ,galloop .... No other noise, so I recalled dog ... pad, pad, pad .... back to me saw her eyes, and loose-tongued smile in the light ....and fox eyes not far behind her ! Fox plopped on its haunches, tongue hanging to one side - so Dog was sent off again ...The playing chasey went on for a few minutes ..and I was enthralled . That fox got a reprieve ......

Lovely, @Roova

I've never seen feral dogs who have been somewhere for generations - would imagine they'd scale down in size & become homogenous . yes, Feral cats can become ginormous ! 90% of the ones here are grey/black tabby .rarely there is a longhair . Some gingers are very occasionally seen . In years gone by when we had our pet cats free ranging .. we only ever had gingers . Anything grey could then be shot safely .I love cats ...and each feral I send back to its ancestors gets an apology & a tear or two - despite what ferals do to the wildlife .

AFAIK , GB, 'WILD' means never domestic to start with ... lions, lynx,elephants, snakes are all wild, as are foxes ... Cats & dogs living/breeding apart from humans are FERAL . it takes a surprisingly short time for dogs to become feral, sadly ..depending on the bonds it had with owners - possibly less than a year? if it then bred - offspring would be truly feral

There was a nasty incident in town SWF being walked along a grassed area along the river ... on lead. 2 larger dogs roaming alone approach and attack SWF... and one lady who tried to get them off . several people were needed to break up the attack . Small dog's condition is critical - lady has some bruising and bites to her hands. Attacking dogs have been put down . One was a 'dangerous dog' ...and from what I can gather there was a slip up in securing a gate
