Katdogs

Congrats all!

I don't think Amanda is on DOL at all but the LabraDOG Facebook page will show the effort she goes to and the enormous respect she has!

So sorry to read this MW. Stevie had a para-osteal-fibro-lypoma (don't google it, it doesn't exist) taken off her hock about 18 months ago. It was growing in the joint and bone, but we were told it wasn't malignant, just aggressive. The SASH people were wonderful and talked about all her options but she was only 5, in extremely good health, very happy to stay with strangers, and the surgeon was confident he could get most if not all of it out so we decided on surgery. On the other hand, Jodie's just had a lump taken off her belly. This time we didn't even do pathology on it. If it's nasty then it will come back, if not then it was nothing to worry about, and we would never put Jodie through more than a simple general at our local vet.

You have lots of research to do and thought processes to go through, but only you will know what suits you and Tess best. If you need a shoulder (or someone else to help cuddle Tess) just let me know and I'll be around in a flash.

Best wishes WP. Good on you for giving him a chance.

Eta I took in an oldie for one last summer/few months. Stubborn old man lasted two very special years!

Glad to hear he's on the mend!

On Thursday night there was blue Play-doh in our yard.. The mum thought it all got picked up but perhaps a little worm of it was left sitting on a bench - she can't remember getting that piece.

Also Sammy gave back most of a ballpoint pen, but we haven't seen the inside tube with the ink in it. That was Tuesday, I think.

Which one is most likely to have turned Sammy and Stevie's poo blue/green yesterday?

Poo patrol can be fascinating!

And cuddles from me too. Just watch and learn from her - I bet it's business as usual, no worrying for her!

So sorry T. I'm glad I had a little cuddle with one of the little sweeties. I'm also glad you were strong enough to do the right thing before they were sick and in pain.

How good is our local vet, being so thorough and careful!

Poor pups had interesting busy lives and were cared for at the end. Too short, but still a life.

At our local Woollies, 'kids throw' fleece blankets are marked down from $6 to $4.20. Bargain

Latest report in the Tele says the owner was fined recently for having unregistered dogs. I wonder what brought these dogs to Coucil's attention then? I hope the police/authorities find a way to make a strong example of this owner, if there's a history of complaints.

Poor jogger. One bite by a SWF is painful enough, I can't imagine being mauled like that.

So sorry Jane. The hole in your heart is not proportionate to the size of the dog. Micky and Maggot will have a great time together biting groomers!

Strangely I miss Maggot so much, more than a bitey scraggly little monster could deserve, surely.

Lucky Micky to have found you when he needed you.

So sorry GG. The one Jack in my life was the biggest dog I ever met, and the lovingest for his One. Tess sounds like a great strong girl.

So sorry - Toby might need some friendly dogs to play with for a while.

The loveliest most dog friendly slug/dog at our training is a Staffy (PB) and the dodgiest used to be a GSD but since she stopped coming (now breeding nervy pups) the least trustworthy is a mini poodle!

The oval where my nephews play soccer has signs up saying there's a study being made of dogs at the park and it's very likely they'll be banned due to people not picking up poo (they have to go over the fields before play) and anti-social dogs causing fights. So sad, because there are also many good dogs and owners enjoying the chance to be together

Nightmares again now, just when I thought I got those angels out of my head :cries:

Very scary stuff

What a lovely idea!

Hugs Caz

Oh Trace that's sad for you, I know how much respect you had for Sweetie!

She really was a tough little old chook wasn't she. How nice that she could go in her sleep, happy and loved.

Did she send the email from her work address or do you know her employer from the video (couldn't get it to work on my phone)? Either way, it's pure gold! And yes i thought MN claimed to be a lawyer but I think she's still studying law.

So apart from asking that the dogs be desexed, what makes Petrescue different to any other classifieds site now?

Stan is just a bit special, isn't he :)

I've been telling my hubby for a couple of months that the girls are getting fat but he wouldn't believe it until the vet told him :rolly-eyes: He's been in charge of portions but I think he's sharing more treats than I would. Pumpkin is being prepared now!

I've never ever forgotten this.

Me either.

I'll never forget the lovely atmosphere in the DOL waiting room, with the muffins and hot chocolate.

I'll never lose the image of the dogs huddled under Jed's bed. Heartbreaking

And I'll always have the most immense respect for Jed.

(and keep giving torches and sometimes smoke alarms in secret Santa packages)

Three years. Lovely to see puppies keep happening and life is going on :)

Best wishes to your family and friends too Jed, they were pretty cool to a bunch of mad dog people in cyberspace!

Please everyone

Check your smoke alarms.

Check the batteries in the torch and keep it in grabbing distance next to your bed.

Such a tragedy.

Looking good!

Thank you Alun

Does anyone else here get the Boystown lottery brochures?

I'm looking at the new one (tallebudgera) and turning Bed2 with ensuite into a dog room and I haven't won it yet!

Sorry, if you were leaving on Sunday I might have got something to you tomorrow. Great idea!

Sammy is fine, cheeky little sod. There have been poos of an unusual colour but no problems with his energy or appetite

OH has a sore back from spending twice as long as necessary working on this door

He's snoring happily (Sammy, not OH).

Robertsons Putty, linseed oil based, actually it smells quite nice and edible!

Puppup has eaten so much wood lately these little bits shouldn't matter. He's taken over some of Stevie's old hardwood off cuts, that she chewed smooth 7 years ago. Good timber is worth the investment...
