How is it weird? Their tummy is empty ... acid /bile produced is very irritating to the sensitive stomach lining .... So the body does the only thing it can , and expels it!

There is a piece of wisdom on D O L .. The BEST food for your dog is what he does BEST on :) if it ain't broke, don't fix it . If he is happy & fit & gorgeous .... you are probably doing all the right things :)

Does this count? ;) 'finger painted' on iphone using the ART STUDIO app ....

Soooo tiny , but MUCH fun ;)

he,he,he,he, ;)

That's for them to sort out ... and funnier things have happened!

Today's result from an afternoon IPhone "hunt" .... :)

botulism was my first reaction.... poor little guy , whatever it is

yes- you no longer have a puppy and an adult dog ..You have two adults , so of course things will change , as their expectations of each other , and their ways of communicating will :) We had a desexed bitch here who was certainly no pushover ... she was boss ! there are threads on here about living with bitches, and bitch: bitch fighting ....

No.

We scored one plastic pallet ..it is very strong, and ideal as a work surface for jobs like mending tyres , etc :) The best thing I found as 'roadkill' once was a large rubber backed cotton rug/mat . it provided an excellent base for when we had baby puppy feet around :)

Love having the iphone with me .... just took this one :)

Now, THAT sounds pretty amazing :) ..and a LOT of Red Bull!!! Well done .

Hmmm I believe not every person suits every dog and vice versa. Believing this, and also having seen many dogs enjoy a more enriched and happier life with other owners, rehoming due to 'irreconcilable differences', can be the solution. Why should a dog or person be anxious or tentative or resentful? If an owner has thought long and hard, received advice from experienced / professional people and then makes that decision I do not see it as doing the wrong thing by that dog.

IF you can get them ( I haven't been able to as yet... but am working on it ;) ) I have seen the large plastic citrus bins used to make terrific pens for chickens/puppies/baby lambs ,etc

:) those thick strong boxes for fridges etc make great puppy 'cubbies'!! cut a few puppy sized holes (not too big ) at varying heights/distances apart ..throw in a few treats & toys , and enjoy the chasey games & hide& seek fun! Ute canopies are terrific ! April pig has had hers since I got her ..about 3 yrs ago!

Photos later .. Mr W has a plastic crate with pillow/blankets ... tip , and opshop . The other cats have an old cane fishing creel .. wool car seat covers , and a fish box with old pillows and polar fleece. Outside dogs - some have opshop blankets/doonas, and old pillows in waterproof covers ... Widget has a small wheeliebin on its side .. with a pillow covered in an old electric blanket ..and another 'snuggle' blanket . Old Gertie sleeps on the porch ..and has a 'tent' made from a very sturdy dbl bed synthetic electric blanket thingy ..with other padded stuff over it .. squashed cartons as flooring , plus a pillow and a woollen blanket inside ..and a H/W bottle in a woollen cover . She is toasty warm in the mornings .. sleeping srtetched out , even when its close to zero ! :D April pig has a 'tent/swag' under her shelter ... made from a tonneau cover and a large sheet of heavy duty plastic tarp. For bedding she has a lot of old shadecloth ... which she makes into a 'nest ' ... depending on the temperature . I also add very strong bits of tarp etc if I have them ..but shadecloth seems the best so far . Thank Heaven for opshops/tips /garage sales !!

Oh goody ... ;) 'special' food ... of course that means you have to now buy more from them, I guess ? Hmmmm..... Cynical ? me ? YES She will be fine .... and I for one am looking forward to more photos !!!!

YES. (most tissues are 'kleenex'.. most bed coverings filled with feathers/synthetic, etc are 'doonas' ... yep.)

How absolutely terrifying for the people involved One dog is plenty to deal with, but a pack - just awful.

I have never seen extractions done with local ;) Dogs tend to not sit still and open wide! For normal extractions ,She will certainly not need much aftercare , like a spey or anything .. just food cut into chunks, or dry kibble moistened with warm water for a few days .... the ones I've seen hardly noticed it :) , and sutures should be dissolving ones .

puppies love things in which they can burrow/snuggle ... so several minky/polar fleece/wool blankets jumbled together in a crate /box /kennel with maybe newspaper on the floor of it ? I am all for simplicity/practicality Pretty 'mattresses' look nice ..but try & see the bed from a puppy point of view ;)

Great to hear that experience! I think he is an honest and aware person who communicates much more effectively using the tools of speech and body language rather than print :)

Ohhh I am so sorry. You did give her peace from the seizures, and she was obviously happy in all her time with you :) she sounded a real little ' big dog' !
