What, just now ? if it was just now ..then he needed to toilet after his milk ..... when ya gotta go, ya gotta go!!

There are some shots on here that I really LOVE!! :) Clever peoples :) I am being very different, and endeavouring to get half decent macros using the iphone and little lens ... it's great fun, as there is such a limited D O F :D Love the challenge :p here's one from yesterday , taken as I was lying in the lovely green and growing things we have here at present :)

:D :D

How are things today ? Hope she is feeling better Don't panic about the different colours as a stand-alone ..... old poo, pumpkin, and light coloured starch stuff will give you a rainbow ;) The plastic/fur and general upset tummy does deserve a few thoughts though .... she may have now expelled whatever it is , hopefully, and will settle from this event - hopefully :) With teh odd mucous I've seen it a lot ..and I know with our dogs it is usually a temporary reaction to something different they've eaten . With your girl - try & see if there's a pattern , maybe ?

:) provided they see their crate as 'home' and bed , and the best place ever ... and they are relaxed ...no they usually don't. If a baby pup sees the crate as a way of being forcibly isolated ..and becomes distressed ... well.... there will be much misery and mess. Loose bowels are a sign of stress ... Crate training involves much play and feeding of puppy in his crate WITH DOOR OPEN .. over a period of days or longer ... "when puppy is convinced that all good things come to him who crates"..when he happily bounces in there to sleep/eat dinner , chew a toy ..then his crate is home :) if puppy is only allowed chewy things/meals in the crate , this makes it much easier. For toileting ... you need to see your pup toilet - every time - so that you can then praise him and begin to teach him :) Do you use a toilet word? This takes some time, but makes life so much more pleasant for everyone once pup learns that ###### means "wee/poo" and a playtime, or treat, or happy Mum ;)

Hopefully tonight in the quiet , he/she will fly off without trouble :)

So sorry - they are now together again ... Take care of yourself .

So sorry .. poor little man .

:) There are some great captures there !! I enjoyed my virtual visit , thanks. Lion with his mouth part open I love .

Good for you, teebs ... it is so awfully difficult for some new parents . I hope you gradually get to that light :)

BC crazy .. she's not ours .... The folks that saved her are acquaintances ..and they really do think she is the best thing!

:) Hope I get to see her again!

So Sorry ... hope he has found karma , and that they are together again ...take care

is it a quick maturing breed , or a larger slow maturing one ?

A scrotum is only stretched skin when there are testicles 'down' .. puppies with no descended testicles have no need for a scrotum . AFAIK , Dogs can have testicles that retreat when the dog is cold/stressed etc ... , esp young dogs, where the inguinal ring is still open

I think wood duck as well ... very susceptible to being roadkill ..and also to being caught by dogs/cats ..as they are mainly grazers..and do so along road verges/in parks etc . A lot of 'town' ones I see have leg/wing injuries from vehicles/flying into things ..and wobble around happily until something hits/catches them for a final time .

Apparently some years ago this gorgeous girl was found , very timid, dehydrated, feet blistered and burned , standing on a hot bitumen road in Summer , well away from anywhere .. a couple stopped and immediately took her to a service station , wet her down , gave her drinks , and then vet treatment ... no owner was found at that time, tho later her story was discovered. Suffice to say, it's a good thing she was dumped.. She is now an older grey muzzled girl , very much loved and has become accepting, but never effusive or confident around people . She will hardly let her 'dad' out of sight... loves rounding up the poultry , snoozing on the lawn in the sun , and playing in/around boats :)

Thanks :) She was a dear old soul ....

What a handsome and regal looking boy :) he is very lucky. :)

little bugger ! Hope the old girl heals up well ... lots of purple spray and TLC :)

;) 'cept dogs can't read . My vote is for the pony!! Horses can snap .. and he may have wanted her not so close .... They bite each other , so why not their paddock mates ? My meaning was for it to be placed where people could see it and maybe they'd be more careful about containing their dogs. I know , sorry ... ;)
