His crate needs to be a good spot. It should be where he gets fed , where he gets treats , etc. You also need to learn how to let him cope by himself. I am not a fan of velcro dogs , if it means they suffer when left alone Give him a safe big bone ..leave him alone .... feed him ...don't hover . Give him a puppy kong with treats... leave him alone...either outside, or in his crate .Not for hours... but totally alone .. no talking/watching for 10 minutes or so to start with...

She needs a good professional to come in and observe... She also needs a secure run for the poor kitten ... it only takes a second for play to turn to prey

She may be a bit worried about going out at night?

yes!

from memory- Kikuyu is a fairly common allergen

joelle I'm so sorry ;)

playing with ,nipping,carrying a rat dead from ratsak will normally NOT kill a dog. EATING the rat which has been poisoned by some rat poison may well kill a dog. EATING more than one rat which has been poisoned by some rat poison is likely to kill a dog.

bedding- what detergent? any contact with carpets? cleaners etc may produce a reaction... what sort of grass/plants has she been in contact with? perhaps cut out food with beef first ? I seem to remember some dogs on here who have probs with beef

This little 'Alien' is a tiny larva of a beetle which eats pumpkin leaves

This was part of a battle to the death .The spider eventually succumbed .

;) great!

...and then again, he may just have been cleaning himself ! Dogs licking bums and then kissing humans is why i discourage our dogs licking of human skin.

poor babies

As night falls , and searching gets colder and more difficult, Prayers for strength for teh rescuers...

Try your dog on roo tails instead you can freeze them.. to make 'em last a bit longer!

Thanks for sharing these! Are they public on flickr or anywhere?

The footage ,unedited, on SKYnews was reminiscent of the aftermath of 9/11 Thoughts & prayers for all affected.

debarking is able to be done by vets in some situations, with vet and council red tape sorted, AFAIK. he may well just have a very raspy voice after barking continually while in kennels, or he may have been debarked. owners may get dog debarked to shut him up , but still keep him entire- best of luck with him ... and I hope he settles at home.

Sounds as if he needs a decent kennel.. full of warm bedding ..NOT just a flat pad which provides nothing A kennel need no be elaborate ... if there is shelter from rain,it can be a strong carton from a fridge! face the opening away from southerly breezes .. fill it with opshop blankets etc .. and throw a handful of treats in there occasionally so he gets to love it

I can recommend coats bought HERE

Agree totally with poodlefan. Please, when she gets wings etc leave her ALONE ..in a crate or room... and don't annoy her when she's eating- it only exacerbates what is there Training is one thing... (and you need the help of a professional to approach it correctly) - unknowingly helping to escalate her aggression levels is another. if you need a professional to be recommended to you, ask on here

What fantastic shots!!!

have a look HERE they make very tough toys!

Go,Daisy!!
