PERSE DID NOT WANT YOU TO WATCH 'THAT' Perse apologises for the inconsistency of the internetz. perse really hopes you enjoy the fixed version. perse runs away ......

My apologies folks - have NO idea what happened there :( THIS is what it's supposed to be .

GET puppy ... :) I think it would be a useful thing to have pup stay elsewhere during their time away ....

he,he -- A 'self-warming' effect can be achieved at low cost easily made by using the shiny windscreen sunshields ;) But on floor of crate/bottom of bed ..enclose in a pillow case or whatever . They work well.

<br /><br /><br />I found some on ebay ...

I think xylitol is used in protein bars/mixes that have PB in them ... not actual peanut butter. BUT , yes, it also in sugar free stuff like sweets/chewing gum ....

yesterday , I came across these! k&H microwaveable pet bed warmer

just looked at ours- Dick Smith , crunchy Sanitarium - no added sugar/salt ...( the pig/dog one) NO Xylitol listed

That is sounding positive :) Do we get photos of the cutie in question???

<br /><br /><br />ha!- I told him about DOL dog, Stan ...MISTAKE. last night, one of the coldest ..at - 2 ..he took his water dish into his bed - and yes- it had water in . Seems a Stan-ish idea ;) Sorry ,hazywal.

..Boy, Molly is blessed with you as her family , really :) We do need some cute snoozy/happy pics , you know ;)

leah - ok :)

I love the photo of her in pink :) She is a lucky puppy to have such an owner !

....and I definitely would NOT be passing on the breeder's name to friends wanting a pup. several red lights there.

<br /><br />I'd add some extra water to her dinner too if you aren't already <img src='http://www.dolforums.com.au/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br /><br /><br /><br />why not take the cone off a few times a day and encourage/tell her to have a drink? That seems to me easier than syringing ;) ?

poor pup. food amount seems to be fine - she is certainly not thin :) Perhaps she has learned to do blah blah, and the food appears! ;) There have been lots of posts on D O L about itchy staffies - and blue staffies with problems - go up to 'search' - type in itchy staffy , or similar , and see what you might find . I would also suggest you look at some supplements to help her immune system - it will be working so hard coping with everything itchy, plus vaccines , plus whatever flea/wormer she has . The tooth/jaw thing concerns me a bit - did the vet say the adult teeth would grow in straight ? It would be awful if a jaw misalignment means she needs teeth removed etc .

it's Ok - he is from working dog parents ... and he has no intention of killing/eating - even The Boss said he was smart for bringing a sheep home - it's not an easy thing to do at all - to steer/guide a sheep away from their mob , over an open paddock , in past other dogs and vehicles ... yesterday I watched Don ... we were out walking - and one silly rabbit decided to run from the bushes .toward our yard - they go in & out freely ..at present. Anyhow - rabbit took off - so did Don, but at an angle , which I thought was weird - UNTIL - Don went to where the gate was open - dashed thru that, and was waiting for the rabbit as it came thru a hole in the fence!! No, he had no hope of catching it - BUT , showed me that he can think/anticipate pretty well :) Wish I could stay focussed and do some training with him .....

Doofus Don , dear Don , dashing Don , ....damn Don ..... I had him loose for a run just now ...checked, couldn't see anything to chase .. came back inside , only to hear some of the other dogs in a state of excitement. I saw, around 300 mtrs away , a black streak running around the sheep - until one stubborn old ewe broke away .. I saw him start to run after her , jumped in the 4WD , and prepared to rescue her - just as she came racing past me,with Don guiding her path . She then stopped , nostrils flaring and probably thinking "WTF" !.... standing with her bum against the garden fence - at which point the black beast came over to me - happy as larry!! The ewe stood there for a minute, getting her bearings - then trotted , stifflegged and bug-eyed, back out into the paddock . I will have to get myself into some sort of training mode ....just can't find it

How sad for you the breeder needs to be told immediately . Bottle feeding? if pup was smaller while breast feeding - then a bottle won't really help, IMO. Please -- don't let your heart rule your head - get a very thorough check of this pup - how is his eating/breathing going to cope as he grows ... will he be able to run /cope with hot weather ...will he be at a big risk of infections? Will he possibly get food into his airway , and maybe get aspiration pneumonia??? These are things you NEED to think about - the poor puppy should have been thoroughly checked before sale - the breeder has let you, and him, down. he should not have been rehomed with congestion, and /or breathing problems :( Thinking of you ....

She has grown into such a lovely looking girl :) her coat is SO good ! I am pleased to see an update ...although it seems no time since you first got her ...

<br /><br />Pers, I think we need to keep feeding Jed a Boxer thread every now and again, <img src='http://www.dolforums.com.au/public/style_emoticons/default/rofl1.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> so that we can see those gorgeous photos again.. The three in a bed is just precious.<br /><br /><br /><br />:) good plan !

Look at the bed-full-of-boxers :D How wonderful .

our cliffs are 70 feet high .....and are popular with all sorts of birds :)

Kirty - love the landscape you caught - and the golden colour :)
