:) good update ..and I hope that this time, he realises that you will come back , and he will get to sleep in your room :p , and he will be more relaxed.

:) the ranger was doing his job , and that is a good thing.

What an absolutely lovely tribute to your lifelong shadow .... She did, you can be sure :) Rest well, Tara.

great shots :) what a happy girl !

My eyes were a bit too busy, what with slope correction, and focus :p Looking forward to seeing more though .

maybe this would be better observed in a photo with less distracting things like slopes ? Nice colours :)

I don't know enough about it to comment , just it is one of the few HDR that I actually like :)

the salesman (NOT DOG NUTRITION expert) has you buying what he wants you to . ...and the bit I've made bold is untrue .. our dogs eat whatever's in the bowl.. sometimes meat, sometimes whole rabbits, sometimes kibble .... they don't eat- they get hungry. So, they eat. A healthy hungry dog will eat pretty well anything :)

train your pup to toilet on command :) best thing you'll do! start by watching him, and when he poos , say "toilet' or whatever ..and praise him ... do this EVERY time for some days ...then, when you notice him stop...and start to squat,,say your word ... then say the word when he slows down or whatever he does ...then when you are both comfortable with this ..try taking him to a spot he uses often, give him lots of leash ..and just say the word a couple of times ...don't watch him, or anything too intense...and HEAPS of praise if he does something ... I have our house dogs trained to respond to a word ..and it is so funny before bed ..we go outside , and there are several dogs ,and two cats who all toilet , plus a couple of 'free range' puppies have learned by watching ...so they go too :)

MtS your raw mix isn't bad ..keep at it for a few more weeks, and see how things go. Did you have a read of THIS THREAD ? http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/172826-rawnatural-chitchat/page__hl__raw+feeding Grab a cuppa, take a breath , get a note pad & pencil..and enjoy the reading - it is interesting stuff! :) Don't confuse yourself ..just take it slow , and if a dog looks healthy,and is enjoying the food it gets ... you've done well.

Aawww a BIG dog in a tiny Tim body :) RIP big man ...

:) Good news!! The horrors :p Hope they enjoyed it!!!

by parasite- do you mean something like giardia?

I don't train using food 90% of the time but also I do not see how owners who use a dog's food allowance to reward behaviours are contributing to the dog obesity epidemic.? These dogs are out & about, working, learning, and getting their meal in bite sized increments ..not sitting at home and being given cake just because they look hungry .

Doesn't that send him crazy? the idea is to EDUCATE the pup ...to teach it that it can be happy alone ...that people will return . To do that involves VERY short times to start with ..like 30 seconds, or a minute ..provided pup is occupied eating or whatever..and gradually increase the times.. what is your normal feeding routine? exactly? " " " " bed time routine ?

Oh No ..... I am hoping they realise their mistake and come back shortly! Thinking of you tonight.

How is she now? It must be so worrying
