I'm sorry your plans seem to have gone up in smoke ..and sorry your pup's in pain. I have had a dog require surgery on one knee only ..he recovered perfectly and was very active all his life :) How old is your pup? is your vet experienced with orthopedic stuff? what testing did he do to come to his conclusion? Are you willing to get another opinion? maybe from someone who specialises in this sort of problem?

Glad you didn't fall ! It was worth it :) :) the spider is probably 'she' ..look closer, and you may see a couple of tiny spiders lurking ..they are the males

depending on the actual allergen .. he may not be restricted as much... there are lots of meats to try ... pork rabbit duck horse goat turkey and so on.

some useful communication happening ..:) Love to see her in her coat !!

I wonder if the models were all happy to hold a wriggly dog ? :p Would LOVE to see some of their faces !!

:) yep. Some time after Mitch left ..I would actually 'see' his waggy tail heading thru doorways .. Glad Zedley is still making contact. . A couple of years ago ....... visitors were pleased, and said they had heard Sally, our old horse during the night cantering past certain campsites she used to visit the visitors didn't know she had gone ..and we have no other horses . :)

Not heard of him .. and I think perhaps we should not have a link here posted publicly to increase hits on his website ..

Fang ..I hope you bounced over the bridge,and are warm, with lots of possums to chase . ellz.

Thanks for the compliments , folks .. it can be a very pretty place :)

:) I quite like that sort of idea. Thanks for the input ..there are often posts on here , and I do wonder what sort of things are available ... I guess, too, that different formats suit different owners/dogs? <br class="Apple-interchange-newline">

:) yes!!

here she is all ready to go home ..... dozing in their car ..

I was talking about this today ..and, never having been to one - I only had a couple of ideas..one was watching that small/shy puppies don't get bounced on/bullied by larger/more outgoing ones . the other was vacc's and cleanliness. What do you look for /expect ?

Here's one I did yesterday morning, from teh top of our cliff..

That spot is around 300 mtrs from where I live ....and I am so pleased to have captured some of that 'golden hour' . Glad you like it, and thanks.

:)

No idea..but perhaps remove the link, so as to not provide 'hits' and /or free publicity?

.... looking forward to reading updates :)

So - you have upset the balance . now YOU need to work at restoring it. Your dog needs to be successful in his housetraining . he needs to be given every opportunity to succeed, and needs also to be sure that he is still loved and still number one. The way a dog's brain works is so very different from a human , which is why 'no biscuit, no cuddles' will NOT be connected with him marking indoors. All he knows is that you were loud, angry, and that he was not treated as usual... using a rolled up newspaper only makes you seem a person to be wary of ..someone who acts like an aggro dog ... it also suggests that you and your dog are not 'speaking' a common language ... I suggest you do several short up beat training sessions a day with your boy, giving him lots of chances to do the right thing, and earn your praise :) While he is upset and confused, have him on leash at all times indoors ..and take him out frequently to pee... LOTS of praise/bikkies, if he sits inside and hasn't marked ...(yes, I know he is on a leash) You may get some helpful hints here : CLICK HERE CLICK HERE

this is Molly , who is visiting with some friends of mine. She is just the sweetest and most laid-back thing :) I guess being middle aged helps, but still.. I was very pleasantly surprised . .Can't take credit for the photo - her owner took that this morning...I like it a lot.

Lovely to see!!

:) And just who has the best bed???????? :p

Hopefully everyone has a better day today! :)
