:) Infections of the urinary tract etc , if you've ever had anything .. you'll know they can be awfully irritating ...so hopefully in the next day or so you'll know what's happening and he'll be happier :)

:) ..OK ..with the urine consistency (It may not have been urine at all) and this behaviour ..I would suggest a vet visit ASAP.. My first thought, even before your latest post was perhaps an infection in the penis or sheath ... this can cause discharge , thick & yellow sometimes..and it can also cause irritation, which then may set off humping etc .... purely reflex actions. So ..a good physical , mentioning all these symptoms , then, if he gets the all clear ..a behaviourist visit may be useful :) (disclaimer ..not a vet , or behaviourist , but have seen most things dog-related )

Hi :) Is Max entire? What else do you do with him to exercise his brain & body each day? Do you remember the first thing he got from th e bin? This was probably a really yummy thing ..and taught him that raiding bins was a great way to get rewarded. :) This is a worry, I know, and it is our responsibility to ensure they can not get to harmful things . Cupboards, sheds, high shelves, and locked doors become our friends ! What bones does Max get to chew ? Does he have a treat ball, or do they get ice blocks with treats in ?:)

Oh What else has he been doing?

YESSSSSS!! :D

:) We have quite a few dogs..and they bark a lot (we live in the country , and they are allowed to bark ,within reason they bark at birds, at strange cars, at each other ....) We still have a number of snakes way too close to the dogs and the house

They do get used to things too :) They live in our garage shed.. We used to get them regularly in the pump shed (not electric pump..a big noisy diesel) ...

:) lots of bells !

Snakes do not have 'ears'..however there is a belief that some sounwaves are picked up by a part of the jawbone , and I think lungs ?

..most importantly ..what if the two dogs do not get along? It's Finn's house now .

It would be interesting to know which soundwaves are picked up by the snake's 'hearing'. if bells work ..then so should barking dogs? I am happy to have brass bells tinkling :)

Most times, No ...

in which case could there be scar tissue blocking it .. or surrounding tissue squashing/blocking it .... ? Hope the specialist can help

If non one's home ..dogs are outside ..regardless of temperature. There are always plenty of trees/bushes , damp areas in which they dig holes (this is such an efficient cooling method for them , actually, provided soil is damp at least 60 cm down ) I was looking at our old boy, Leo, this afternoon ..36 deg .. and he was sleeping curled up in his damp sand bed ..quite happy , no panting , and his body was cool to the touch :) If we have pups, they have ice bricks and wet doonas draped over kennels . No way would I ever leave any electrics on (except fridges) when we are away.

then they'd all want one :p The water babies do have big bins into which I put about 6" of water on very hot days ....and they like going to the river :)

LOL. Miss Daisy likes paddling :)

Not necessarily ..Mum had to get hospital treatment due to a bite received from our absolute beanbag of a Dougal cat She went to pick him up when he was asleep ... Thank goodness she didn't blame him ..even though she was quite ill for a while with infection .

Oh, my ..are those two going to be the subject of many jokes and jibes for a while . ! They probably could not use a firearm under those conditions ... and obviously thought two officers should easily handle a kitty cat. IF cat is feral it will be put down, I guess ..then again, it may have, like most cats do , panicked, and reacted with all guns blazing..and settle now it's safe . Hopefully there is a follow-up.

Definitely one of a kind :)

I love him anyway ... I'd even shove Johnny Depp's pic aside to make room ! :p

OOOhhhhhh We need to be able to buy something with 'those eyes' on!!!!! ..you know who I'm talkin' about :p :) :)

No credit card here either :) can't help you .. are there any on ebay cheaper?

this evening's effort. trying the panorama feature... and just dusty dogs :)
