yes .. :)

Hmmm.. this got me interested , so Mr.Google led me to THIS PLACE . No idea what it's like ..but their website is well done :)

have you read this ? :) CLICK HERE these might also be of help ... LINK LINK

basically, whichever way you train , it is the OWNER's mastering of the methods which determines the way their dog turns out ;)

So, you are concerned about incontinence after one damp patch? please do NOT use any human drugs (any drugs) until, as you say , a vet confirms a problem. My male dog had a couple of occasions when he wet the bed during very heavy sleep .... it only ever happened twice , so he didn't have any treatment ... You may well be correct in thinking it was saliva after a chew session - hope so :)

Maybe change what you feed ..... poos can be nice firm little ones, which hardly smell and do not spread, so that there is almost no mess :) How hot is it there ? Pups in shade, with large frozen water bottles to drape over, and paddling pool should do OK ...

brilliant .. have stolen it & facebooked it ;)

Ha, ha! Love the flyscreen one !! :) ..and the old school desk? Glad the update is positive

:) Cute .

Seems you will have to use a long line on the beach ?

Maybe check out the Council site for that area?

here is a thread on cushings ... LINK

LOL Caillie is getting a bit lazy in her dotage - she is in her 14th year , and is our senile delinquent ; stealer of mobile phones, jackets, notebooks, lunchboxes ....

CC ... Gorgeous!!! .......... and little shirts :) :)

Ohhh- he is lovely!! :)

Yay perse! I spent 7 years dreaming between meeting my first toller and getting one of my own...it's nice when dreams do come true :) Tollers were once on my list - just such happy faces and amazing colour! I met my first crestie at the Royal Melbourne Show ....ohh , back in the late 1980's ? I remember what it felt like to pat him .. his skin felt like that of someone sunbaking on a beach - warm, oily & a bit gritty :)

powderpuffs do have that massive gorgeous coat - but what I am now talking of are the hairy hairless - hairless with some visible coat , aside from mane , etc .

awwww..it's a baby Gremlin!!

Thanks, YG !! :) ... having never ever set my sights on a particular type/breed of dog - I'm enjoying this :) ( Mind you , fate has some funny ideas ..and it could well send me some large boofer with bear claws and a deadly tail - oh, wait_ that's already happened ! ... anyhow .. dreams are to be enjoyed ;) )

At some stage IN THE FUTURE I hope to have a little Chinese Crested companion ..... IN THE FUTURE ;) Today I discovered there are 'hairy hairless' ones :D Some look very , ermmm, 'artistic' ..others are just gorgeous scruffs ..and others have a '5 o'clock' shadow effect :) I LIKE . Hmmmm.... My dream is taking shape :)

That's great news about the fence rebuilding ..and the fact that council are working with you :) A simple way to stop food aggression is to feed dogs separately .. out of sight of each other . ..saves anxiety and worry !!

:) she looks extremely content .....

animal ark .. glad the lump has settled - :) Basically , if you need anything dog related , this is the best spot in cyberspace This forum is full of all sorts of people , and all sorts of stuff gets posted- some helpful, and some not so . --- learning to use the 'ignore function ' (found in the "my controls" section) helps sometimes , as does realising that often a thread will take on a life of its own ;)

She will probably come in again 4-5 mths from now .. so sometime soon seems a good plan to me :)
