some of you may remember a friend 'rescuing' a little dog who then bit people.... well, she is still there.. has the odd snap at tradies still , and is a ratbag , but much loved, and has revitalised her owner :) her latest - eating the Macquarie Dictionary!

..ours pick them up from under the tree, crack the shells and eat them .. I've never noticed any problems .

:) Good to hear .. yep .. a ceiling fan on low will help , more than extra dampness , perhaps ?. Whatever keeps them comfortable :) You may want to try, tomorrow .. a couple of those frozen ice thingies for eskies, etc. I have a large one ..almost 30 cm square . I freeze it solid, wrap in a couple layers of newspaper, then put into a pillowcase , and into where pups are . IF they are hot.. , even at a few days old .. they will gravitate to it, and clamber on top, or snuggle up against it. :) Just make sure that they have plenty of room to get away from either a heat source,or a frozen item!

23 ,with a high level of humidity can be pretty uncomfortable dry heat is often easier to remedy , IMO. :)

:) It's good fun ..and now you know what the judges are looking for, so you can 'tailor' work for the next Show !

Mostly they shouldn't , IMO. puppies only cry when they are hungry, in pain, hot or cold. My first guess is they were too hot.(open mouths) Tiny pups can NOT regulate their own temperature ..What's the temperature where they are ..as in on the floor where they are lying? It the mother panting? Stopping crying after a long period may be a good thing..or it may mean they are tired or unwell.... They may have had bellyaches or full bladders, too .... How are they lying ...

Well, you probably now know why he was at the shelter anyway .. there may be some useful information in the following D O L threads ...hopefully. CLICK HERE CLICK HERE CLICK HERE

Mum of 4 girls.. that homeopathic remedy is mostly a preparation made from ............ ginger and peppermint ;) also aconite, potassium phosphate , and a couple of other things. I find homeopathic pilules not much good for dogs/cats, as they do not stay in contact with mucous membranes long enough to be correctly absorbed..prefer liquids ..... Ginger tablets poked down a throat are a sure way to get the ginger where it is required ,in a hurry . My dogs won't eat the crystallized stuff.. and it is mostly sugar anyway, which they don't need.

ermmm, seems so , when you put it that way ..

Have you tried ginger tablets? They certainly work on humans!! I take 2 about 20 min before travel, then 1 or two each 1/2 hour. I guess a dog dose would be smaller ..1/2 to 1 tablet , according to weight, maybe ? I buy Blackmore's ginger tabs.. and they have an advice line - maybe call them and ask?

on a property .... My guess is the babies will be easter fare ..but they are very much enjoying life :)

any chance of installing (or borrowing) a surveillance camera set up ? There are very small , inconspicuous ones ..and then you'd know what/who ;)

Striking markings..and a very cute face :) :)

:D Oops, sorry .......

LINK to video :) those short legs do a great job!

@ Kirislin's comment .... Noooooooo .

They look like feral pigletties ...not all that old ..neither is the pup. They were just so cute !!!

saw these and couldn't resist :)

;) I bet most Mums don't say that about their juvenile delinquent kids! You have a million opportunities to play with her, and love her, and cuddle her ..just now ON YOUR TERMS ...not hers. She is not the one who makes the decisions..all things in the house are YOURS ..and she does not get to decide what is to be chewed or sat upon, or eaten ;)

ermmmmm tough call :p

Marion, of course it is .....senior moment :p

Alibi She was much loved, and looks a happy girl .... :) Run free over the bridge, tala

LOVE the ?cicada :D

That is such a great loss - not only to the keepers, but the population I hope it is 'only' something like mould in food, or a plant toxin ..and not an illness which may spread.

Rotate toys... dogs, like kids, have short attention spans, and will get bored .They also need firm boundaries and rules. wash all the toys, store them away, and, every couple of days, pick up the used, and replace with 'new ' ;) close doors to rooms easily damaged. provide her with cardboard cartons /gladwrap rolls etc to rip up. feed all dry food in a treat ball or similar. be consistent with Nothing In Life Is Free She would be confined to the yard/one room if she were doing that in my house.
