Can't help with sourcing , but not sure if rawhide is the better chew ....

..I asked google ..and there is this one which is apparently simple & free: FOTOXX

Oh, Ams ....... So Sorry Acheron has gone - but with style and attitude still ;) You take care - be kind to you ......

:) :)

Huskydrake did what she thought was all she could do to get help . We all would do what WE thought to be appropriate . That's it. Whatever one does in an absolutely horrific situation like that is 'right' for them at that time.

ha ! :) I like that ...

ohhh he died at home , being a loon - and would have raced straight over the bridge before he realised what had happened .... run free gorgeous boy. Take care of yourselves now ..

Tesslc - Sorry about the little one who wasn't meant for this world . is there a box/mattress you can put alongside your bed for the new family which will mean everyone gets sleep ? :) Glad they are all doing so well!

A person of small stature and not a lot of strength ..shocked/scared, and with two strong dogs in a serious fight ? I don't blame you, Huskydrake .If you were not 100% certain of how to separate fighting dogs .. you were risking your own self .

I have had 2 cats who would growl seriously if they heard something suspicious at night , whether a person , dog or another cat . It was handy in teh city - dog would be sound asleep - cat would be sniffing under the door and growling, growling.......and here in teh bush, I always knew if a dog was not where it was supposed to be, as Mr W would growl and hackle ....

dentastix/rawhide chews ... have you thought about substituting large raw carrots /apples and , best of all nice soft fresh bones? WHEN HE'S BETTER AGAIN ;) Chicken wings/frames , Turkey wings , lamb ribs/flaps ...... all these, esp if fed when half frozen will feed/clean teeth, and keep pup occupied for some time :)

So Sorry your dog died in such a way

Last night I found Collie dead .. actual reason unknown - but it seems it was something sudden - she had a mouthful of food . She was almost 11 , and was very lean lately .... while still happy as. Collie was pulled from a trailer load of market-bound feral goats as a tiny kid . She grew fat & fluffy , and thought she was a dog ;) When we had a small mob of pet sheep/goats she was very happy ..but some years ago we lost them all, so found her a friend - a very large pet sheep , called Bruce. The two were inseperable . As Collie got into middle age , I could trust her around baby puppies , and the annoying cats - she would get annoyed at puppies under her feet - head down and looking as though she would squash them flat ! about 2 cm away she would stop those horns ..and snort very loudly instead :) The pups learnt pretty fast :) Collie was companionable ... we would often just 'sit' in each others' company ..she would lean against me and enjoy having her ears rubbed .She also used to enjoy having winter fluffy coat brushed out :) Her favourite thing , aside from food , was to come walking with me & some dogs .....and it was always lovely to have her there :) I will miss that most of all She loved getting into the house yard to eat almond tree branches, roses ,and thistles .... but then would scream blue murder for me to let her OUT! LOL. Funny girl :) There were a few commands/tricks she knew , but mostly she was just good company . I will miss her a lot ....and so will Bruce sheep . last night I sat with him until about 2 am , as he was looking for his friend , and wouldn't shut up, poor old boy .... he wanted to come inside

fingers crossed

Thanks :) they are very cute in white/vanilla !So looking forward to little 'slug' photos as they grow. :)

Stock the fridge freezer with decadences ....provide a bunch of scented lilies/roses , and if you know what what they like to read /do as a hobby - buy an appropriate book, and leave on the table - with choccy, of course . :)

I didn't know Staffords came in vanilla ! :)

was taking iPhone snaps this morning . Ess was enjoying carrot ..but phone was on video https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152120547904007&l=4447246034306738072

:) Thanks for the update on these two .... I well remember the Destiny saga :)

Toby is just lovely :) I am glad Miah now has a playmate .... what great news for you all!

This is my first thought as well .

I dunno - I thought elephants would be trained to do the housekeeping routines ...thought also that training would be a big part of filling in their day?

lots of pics here he will be amaazing when all grown up!!

fate, instinct, accident, intent ..whatever . It WORKED , and there is one little boy who will not forget his 'hero cat', Tara. :)
