:) Well done - the first of many .

It would be all the same if a child was exploring in the grass! Broken bones and a hell of a mess :(

A soft plastic basket muzzle will stop the chewing ;) I hope she doesn't get re-plastered - that really sounds like over kill . My boy had LOTS of bandaging ..I watched his op being done .... the surgeon made the groove deeper, re-located tendons .... gave me grey hairs ;) Anyhow - he had a knee which withstood all types of hunting /sheep working /racing around for the rest of his life :)

google goes everywhere

missblue :) you might enjoy a bit of fun with these quizzes ! click here and, here's some smiles . LOOK

Good post :)

. Most animals , if their needs are not met , or if they receive rough treatment, may react in ways humans don't like .Dogs might chew up the power cords, the pillows, or expensive shoes .Inappropriate urination can occur with most animals ....

I bet she will feel much better without the plaster!! glad it's fixed for now :)

Indi is a nice boy :) thanks.

How can you tell if they are registered breeders? they will be registered with their state's kennel control ..they will have a prefix - like "Po po poms' .. and they will have pedigrees available . THIS explains it well :) excerpt :

If you want a companion /house pet -, and an introduction to living with an animal , something to groom , to play with, and snuggle with - why not consider a cat ? There are some breeds who are 'dog-like' in their behaviour - and they can be taught tricks etc .Cats are also content to sleep all day if there is nothing else happening ....and are more likely to find their own fun without yapping and having neighbours complain ;)

Oh Dear ... fingers crossed for you ...

many many people get puppies /dogs flown from interstate , if you want one locally, you may be on a waiting list for some time for the right puppy :) have a read here : CLICK If you go to these two threads , you will find all sorts of helpful and FACTUAL information on poms and chi's : POMERANIAN CHIHUAHUA a MUST READ -"Before You Get Your Puppy " And on general dog ownership - CLICK HERE and HERE I hope this is helpful :)

it is there as an intestinal scrubber , didn't ya know? ;)

hi :) THIS THREAD might answer some of your questions :) LOVE that you have nice high fences :)

OH :) thank you for the positive update ...look at him - quite content .

:) :)

I am so glad you had a second opinion - and now hope he can heal quickly :) I suggest a good probiotic in his food, and lots of good fresh food .Happy healing!

I love the Whippapotamus :)

I agree with rehoming the pup - managing the two is difficult and unfair on both dogs and humans. pup will also grow up with a 'warped' view of living with another dog , and may well develop its own problems . The next thing , if you are near Perth ... is to contact this person ASAP : CLICK HERE You can not rehome Choc with her behaviour - a new owner will affect her even more ..and she could be very unhappy

Friends brought their teeny little SWF to visit :) he is so old and wobbly he almost falls over when he barks :/ dear little soul .. I am SO pleased that one of the images I shot turned out nicely :) 'Mirri'

;)

perhaps start a new thread? - it becomes very messy when you break into someones else's conversation ;)

Canetoad , I am so glad you popped in here- I have no experience with either breed , and was wondering about the logistics of having two so very different breeds in this situation ...What you posted is what I was thinking ...
