Welcome teenagers!! have a read thru these links ..and around the site generally I'm sure a lot of what you see will help you understand what's happening. and what (not) to do . Sadly ..each time your lad does this, ..like those irritating human kids who poke/pull hair , say rude things , a strong reaction increases the effort put in It is their REWARD..and is doing the victim harm some psychological harm each time . You seem willing to put in the work ..and it will be lovely when he grows up to have a handsome AND self-controlled big lad at your side :D LINK LINK

thanks, Roova ..it's Ms feral . She is one of 3 who live around the house paddocks ...and have some degree of immunity ( so far)

..and , it's finally Autumn .

new week ! missed last one .... face of a Feral

@Roova nice!!

hello - this an impossible thing to answer with no information The BEST thing would be to take him to the vet and make sure he is not sick . perhaps check his eyes and ears too . If he is all healthy - then maybe we can help with some training help ? How old is the dog ?

Terrific news ( except you being poor ) Lucky Sniper !!

aww.. he will be so pleased to be home

ooh... a whole salukigorgeous thread Saluki hooning = oxymoron

fingers & toes crossed

How are things now ? been thinking of your boy ....

@ThunderI am envious great photos as well. Thanks for that ! :D

What did the vet think it was ?

Awwww

Sometimes with older or stressed cats , & baby puppies we would do the lethal injection into the abdominal cavity ..over some minutes a sleepy body would just curl up in a cosy bed .....

ohh..Pickles may well be picking up illness now - I see it often . yes, we do need some photos of this much loved girl ... being at home with treats, food, close friends, & a sensible someone to keep track - that's a pretty good palliative care formula right there .

Good for that kid ! I hope it is of help in making sure more dogs get to stay with their new owners forever now

this probably much better to be in the health section . hardly anyone comes in here ....

awww..where's the 'love' button again ?

Run, and Run , Nash ..you went when and where you chose . Lovely man . So Sorry . BJ . I am glad he is now where you know he'll be safe ..and that he never was out of your arms .

All I would say is NEVER leave it too late . the final thing we do for our dogs is to send them off BEFORE they are suffering / stop 'living' life . Remember ...we do this for our dog, NOT for us . I may choose to end a dog's life earlier than some - that is what I consider , think about, and choose . It is very hard when you have no experience , when you know your companion will leave you , and especially when you will be choosing a time and place . We've pretty much all been there. I have seen/helped people send many dogs off without sedation , it was fine . Some situations would perhaps suit it ... sorry you are having to now come to this point in the journey

Ludo .. a responsible and ethical breeder will provide , along with pedigree/health test info for parents etc , a diet sheet , recommended food and perhaps a sample to tide you over the settling- in period . Ask them when you enquire about a pup . it is generally recommended large breed dogs be grown slowly to avoid problems ... best of luck in your research

I am so glad at last you have some action happening - although it means you are feeling your boy's absence so much.

Scary . You did the correct thing . Glad no physical injuries to your family were incurred !
