when his stitches are removed ..and he has a day or so to build up to it :)

LIKE :)

I hope you can a session booked very soon and get support for you both :)

YES YES YES :)

:) She is pretty -

thank you for the update :) pent up energy - yes- BUT mental exercise will tire a dog out much more than running - all that does is get them fit & want more ;) Agility- teaching her tricks at home - it all sounds good .

That's good to remember - now your chosen professional has good background material :)

The dear old thing :) ..all I could think was that the collar looked heavy :p You do all you can for her ..she knows that , and I hope she takes your absence well ..I presume she's staying at home ? Gorgeous photos

awww... Mic-Mac - such a special and beloved boy ...

Because Didi was scared..and she reacted automatically. Why do Doctors/hairdressers use all sorts of distractions when little kids have to have something done for the first time ? So they don't suddenly back away & scream ....

Ok... just took these with the old canon . A pr of yellow rosellas 'goin' Courtin' :)

That's good news ... :)

*shakes head* Horses may be accidents waiting to happen , but dogs are just instant worry ! :D

sounds Ok so far then ...perhaps she threw up undetected?

did anyone see the plastic wrapper get swallowed?

i would be feeding paraffin oil (olive oil will be digested) ..and some psyllium husks/weetbix :) it may take a couple of days to see what's happening - you will soon know if there is a problem by her attitude - she will definitely appear uncomfortable ..and may not poo properly ... or it may be watery ( as a blockage only lets liquid thru) ..or she may not want to eat ...

Liking this option ,persephone. I am just trying to keep the wee darling as comfortable as he deserves. Hope it helps the poor old man :) If sides are highish - he can't clamber out ..and then knows exactly what's what (in theory ;) )

Really? Have a good look at the photo which is "Warning Cops are trained liars". WARNING Do not do so if you are at work!!!! urrrrrrrrrrrrk.

How exciting :) if you are getting the puppy from an ethical and careful breeder - the pup should come with a recommendation for diet..and sometimes even some food to take home. Unless the puppy is on something inadequate, like weetbix/farex/milk follow what he has been getting . :) Easy! This helps puppy settle in , and goes a long way to stopping tummy upsets from different foods. If the puppy is not doing well on the original food, or you really need to change - then , yes research is good , talking with the breeder is useful , and GRADUALLY easing into any new diet is best for puppy :)

So are some of the others if you look closely. I stopped at the numberplate.

they are often seen on their eyelids ... and yes, B I G .

Hopefully she just zigged when she should've zagged, and strained something :)
