They are even cuter than lab puppies ;) Thanks for the info on vertical feeding , too! I have only ever seen aspiration pneumonia/choking when babies ... dog/cow/lamb have been bottle fed . I am so pleased we are getting lots of photos -

oh. Ok :) You learn something every day .Thanks.

now that's something I have never heard of before ! How common is it , for extra care to be taken? I have cared for many bitches/litters , and have not ever seen a case .Is it something exclusively rottie?

:D

A cover - or a cat run - ?

neko = cat ..then secret fits perfectly , cats being the secretive enigmas they are :)

yes - that's what makes a name which fits , I think.

Which is an old sock of mine. :laugh: :)

^ ^ ^ This is me, exactly! Same here! I'm not in any frustratingly bad groups anymore and it's so much nicer to just be in sensible, friendly and informative groups. Still see a lot of stuff in my newsfeed that makes me shake my head though. yep :) stopped seeing posts which are full of anti this that & the other ...as well. Much nicer .

Kirislin - you know that dogs need company and mental exercise - both of which you can provide with excellence ! :) Secret is so tiny , and will grow and adapt with you should she stay .

Oh My ...look at that! In her little jumper , & with such gorgeous eyes :) "hello , Secret" :)

Thankfully , I am not in any pet/dog FB groups - it can be extremely frustrating , and sad.

LOL.

Molly is DEFINITELY a stayer !! We were visiting . Oh my - Molly is my little shadow - and my bed time 'teddy bear' ...

With few opportunities for my guys to socialise/try new stuff rare - I was SO very grateful last night :) The friends almost drowned Molly in gazes of adoration ..and they were both almost crying with disappointment at not being able to touch her . She would look at them and give a tentative tail wag when they talked to her - and was extremely happy to curl up on the couch ( they have dogs of their own ..and yes, couches & beds are allowed) . Pudden enjoyed the snack ..and being searched for fleas ;) WE enjoyed steak & salad & conversation :)

Secret is what I would call a gorgeous little mystery puppy with a wonderful future :)

We had a surprise visit from friends on their little houseboat . they fed us - and welcomed the two pups with a bowl full of doggy food - and a spot on the couch ;) Whilst they adored Molly - she wouldn't go near them All we heard during the evening was how gorgeous she was ... LOL . hopefully at some stage, she'll decide that other humans love her as well ...

I am having an enforced holiday from one pet group ... * sigh* hopefully I did educate some along the way ...especially the ones with 'pure breads' and lots of puppies at exorbitant prices .

put them onto Mark Singer's FB page ! lots of info - and snippets such as this one

Maybe tell the partner that when bulls/rams get obnoxious they are castrated . Wishing you the best of everything for your girl -

ohhhh- what very lucky babies :)

yes!! I was of that opinion :)

maybe your dad fed his bitches more - they probably had pups ..and stored food away? there is usually some truth in every tale /proverb /observation :)
