Ahhh.. the benefit of hindsight As an employee, I remember those first pups , I named one after my Mum!! I also remember doing a bit of work with a Standard Poodle .. he was a bit too clever for many people ;)

take lots of photos Enjoy.

An old suitcase, a 2 minute surgery a Winter Molly bed - with handle for moving it ;)

Glad to hear Zena's still enjoying her life obviously vets cannot predict things to the exact date - just work on what they know about disease progresses . maybe , if you can , get a different opinion , if that would ease your mind?

Thank you

So anxious about leaving my gang for 2 weeks .. :/ The boss isn't really keen on them ... and they certainly will have a very different time of it . I go away so infrequently that they don't have experience ... ... :(

awwww.... @Thistle the dog

There is still one blue bed pad here which has been in use ,on & off for about 8 years!!

Mind you , those pet ones survived a piglet's first months!!

I actually prefer the human blue bed pads ... have used them for adult dogs - they hold around 2 litres, and tend to not scrunch as quickly ...I think the Conni large holds a bit over 1 litre?

See You in 2 weeks, Enzi ! Gorgeous photos,as usual, @grizabella

Cancer in dogs - Hmmm .. We have owned both male entire and castrated , and in 50 years that I can remember , there has only been one - and his testicular cancer appeared when he was around 12 yrs old.

it is not essential to desex ... but it is more 'convenient' If I lived in suburbia , my dog would very definitely be castrated . At 2 yrs- a dog is mature - has done its growing etc , so it's a more preferable age - the hormones aren't needed as much.

Oh - a new week - or something Miss Molly .. a bush baby ...

German wire haired pointer ??

LOL.... :D

That sounds good Go, Scotty!

basically it's knowing how the pup reacts in a given situation , and having patience . https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/655/21708330533_57ac3e16f6_c.jpg

How good is this ? !! LOVE it.
