Merle has discovered leap control !! and the clown? well, elegance is not his thing ;)

oh That's easy enough - google the kennel name .."joe blow's fluffy pups" or whatever . Ask for their kennel club rego number ..and yes, contact the state's Pom club. Ask if the breeders have a copy of the parent's health test results ..

puddenhead ..

there aren't many dogs who don't like the boss :)

The Boss with them today ...

In 50 yrs of feeding bones .. the odd bit of canine constipation is all I have to record ...

EVIL GREMLIN !! :)

Do you have a verandah /deck? Make a secure pen for her in an area which can be disinfected with bleach, or F10 (pet stores/vets ) Agree to taking her in the car /carrying her around ..she can not live in a house for the next few months , and learn about things like sky/noise/cars/buildings, etc :) At least book her in to puppy classes - :) :)

:) interesting storyline :) Thankyou. My favourite is the verandah scene :)

two months ago ? Pls phone your vet. two months is the time where there could be a phantom 'whelping' ..or a real one, or a uterine infection . The last one can be life threatening - best to be safe .

..and the owner has not much idea .... she's practicing on me with her phone, for heaven's sake!! poor Pudden LOL my brother reckons a remote controlled helicopter dog would be perfect!! poor Pudden needs to work out which track to take .... But mostly, he needs to sleep safe ...

:) they are pretty cute ... and of course they're smart .... ;) Actually they do respond to their names ..they've never been called puppy ..from day dot, each has had a name ..used whenever pup was touched/picked up /played with ..and it's fun watching who has listened ;)

Roova - that's Neddles - and she's sharp and plucky as !

7 weeks today ...and no need to wake up Jeff ( middle right) .he's hardly ever still!! ;)

It's such a shock to the system when you have to pick things up off the kitchen floor for yourself :) ermm, yep! ;)

thankyou ... as you all know , it's the little habits that catch us ;) Holding the door open so the old dog doesn't get banged on the way in putting aside a couple of toast crusts filling the shallow waterbowl throwing left over 'bits' under the kitchen table ..... I'm sure she is now so much happier though . :)

Maybe a chicken frame every second day ..and a good chew of rootail/fish head or lamb neck on weekends?

I adore black labs ..... :) and , when the planets align, portraits are gorgeous!

Thanks :) yes, duller days are MUCH better for black beasts :)

thankyou. It is extra hard withGert, as in Mum's last few years Gertie was her shadow. When Mum had a seizure and was on a mattress in the kitchen waiting for an ambulance, Gertie was there too. She slept alongside Mums bed. After mum died, gert would NOT sleep indoors no matter which room we tried. She would work herself into a shivering mess- so outside it was, and she was absolutely content???? in the mornings she would always come in for toast, and again she would lie in her armchair while we watched TV in the evenings Funny old girl She will be much missed. Both the old shearer who gave her to us, and Mum are probably now enjoying her company again????

R I P Old Gertie - This morning, as the sun appeared on the hill , I sent you 'over the rainbow bridge' Your 'HAPPY' had all gone , after 15 yrs hard work in the sheep yards , good company, Mum's support - referee of rough puppy games .. Now we don't need the little step in front of your chair , or the old H/W bottle ...and won't hear you barking long after the others had stopped(being deaf you didn't realise!) Thanks.

K9Pro - contact by phone/email and yes, Jane Harper is a name I've seen recommended a lot here :) You really do need a professional behaviour expert . Check out their sites .. best of luck with your girl .

Silly young man gave me the wrong email addy. I will have to wait now for him to see them ????
