@denali LOVE that street art .

good one!!

Oh .....be still my heart ........... *remembers Kieran* photos are ESSENTIAL . I second/third chicken frames ..and maybe turkey necks whole? Bloat is a sneaky mongrel of a thing - I did all the right things by Kieran for 7 years . One night he grabbed 6 meatybites off the ground - and that was that .

Do you ever see a flea? My P O V is to not fill a dog up with chemicals if not needed. Our dogs get swabbed with permoxin if there are fleas .( we only have the 'stickfast/rabbit' fleas, which tend to congregate on patches of bare skin ., and for a month or two in Summer , (susceptible dogs only) get Advantage spot on . make sure, if you KNOW there are fleas about , to keep bedding etc changed and cleaned .. Vacuum regularly IF you see signs of fleas , perhaps use a quick-kill , one off treatment like CAPSTAR ? puppies are small, and babies - stop & think of the work bodies have to do to metabolise/excrete all the vermicide/insecticide /vaccines. Add food colourings/preservatives , and stuff like household cleaner/deodorisers/insect spray ..!!!

Nope - Too rough&ready here for that beautiful boy - would that I lived elsewhere .... he really is uniquely wonderful!! bed=warmer extraordinaire, too!

You are evil !! :P How wonderful - no prickles !! Hope he finds a home where he can indulge his mixed heritage

;) on seeing the dog looked to be male ..ad wording was odd ...I did a bit of searching GUS, the 2008 Ugliest Dog Winner .... at the Sonoma-Marin fair

..and it may not have actually 'happened' at the kennel ..maybe wear&tear that showed up just at that time?*shrugs* It will be better when you find out what exactly "it' is More spoiling for Scottie :P

Well, a 'sore back' needs a diagnosis anyhow Whether it's muscular, spinal or whatever . Sounds very promising for the old boy, anyhow .

Buddy being I D'd as a PittyX will no doubt play a big part in judgement of his actions ....

More of the story ... http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-03/mother-to-be-charged-with-attempted-murder-of-son-at-moama/8321906

I believe Buddy bit the mother and son ... I also believe it was not a pre meditated thing .. as I've seen a similar thing here when we work in sheep yards. A dog just gets 'switched on' by the movement and noise ..and bites away ... That case is just so horribly sad anyhow .. the poor little boy who survived - what scars and memories will always be with him ?

you'd need to be IN the cool drink ;)

Ok ... this week smartphone photo

@Scottsmum wow !

That looks like several accidents waiting to happen

Hi - welcome ..hope we can help you and your girl she will now have a lot for her immune system to cope with- I wonder why the vet vaccinated her when she is already fighting an infection ... has the poor dog any antihistamine or steroids or something to stop the itching/pain? has she been tested for a fungal infection? Do you know what the allergy is? How old is your girl , and does she get itchy a lot ? if she really is in so much discomfort , and if she were mine - she would be at a different vet tomorrow . Tonight , if you can - find a supermarket or large healthfood place ..or tea shop ..and buy some (dried)CALENDULA tea.make a tea , let it cool ..and sponge dog all over - leave it on. It will soothe, and also help control bacteria/fungal spores. hopeffully you can find a vet who perhaps understands skin problems well

he, he, he ... my high school music was more Led Zepplin, BeeGees, John farnham, Ronnie Burns and the gorgeous Colleen Hewett ...

@The Spotted Devil I LOVE that song

I quite liked/like Hunters & Collectors ... Hope they get HEAPS off GOOD publicity from this .

bet you've heard parts of this at sometime ..esp in September ..... (think of AFL)

and ... Dulcie & Mr.Wiggles Little Bitch - the matriarch , into double figures ...

Doesn't he just ... That photo just makes my heart flutter ... imagine having those eyes telling you how wonderful you were ....

I am in lurve ...
