RmS bellybands !! they are the only way I can have Don indoors ....

I met this gorgeous little guy ( and his lovely owner/manager) briefly last night :). What a trouper he is. So sturdy in body& mind,with a coat so soft Thanks so much Mingaling for the visit. I did enjoy it. Awful pics,sorry.

Thinking of you.

If there are no fleas, he may have some pain, which many dogs try & relieve by chewing.

he was also a damn clown ...

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.
