Have nothing worthwhile adding but wanted to say RIP Oscar. And also wanted to offer you hugs SF. I know it doesn't matter what i think but you made the best decision for Oscar and i think that shows your strength of character.

I've liked and shared the link on my Facebook page.

My boy has HD. He was diagnosed when he was 7 months old. We had x-rays done to determine the severity because yes, although vets can tell without x-rays whether a dog has HD it doesn't determine the severity and it is important to know how bad it is to work out a treatment plan. We had him x-rayed and subsequently found out that his HD is not too too bad (about a 2 - 2.5 on the scale) but is more severe in the left side which makes him drag that foot just a wee bit. In that case our vet suggested he didn't need surgery. He is on joint guard daily at this point and we need to keep him lean all the time but right at the start he had a series of 4 cortisone injections to help with the pain. Maybe this is an option for your guy? Anyway i know i probably haven't helped much but i thought i would offer up our experience. Good luck with getting the treatment right for your guy. Hope it all goes well.

I agree completely with this. It's a decision that only you can make and although everyone always has an opinion on these kinds of things, you know your dog better than anyone. I'm very sorry to hear this SF.

Cute! :D

They look like a great butcher & not just for dog bones! May have to go and check it out next Saturday! :D

So sad. RIP Atlas.

LOL yeh boxers are GREAT dogs!! I have always had them until now. I am a red brindle lover myself. and i do love them with a tail!! Whew! I thought you might have decided to forsake Boxers all together! Although i have a Boxer now i love Cockers too. We had one as kids (Millie was her name) and she was the best! :D

Great photo! Is great that you love your new addition so much but Boxers are still good too right?

;)

I've reported this as well. Seriously what are some people thinking!

That's amazing. A beautiful piece of art work!

OMG Classic!

I've just seen this and wanted to offer my condolences. So sorry Horty, just from reading things around DOL that you had written about Kuges i could tell he was a very special boy, that has and always will have a special place in your heart. RIP Kuges

I am pretty sure that the shelter featured on DogTown is Best Friends.

RIP Rocky. Have lots of fun over the :D WEIA he sounds like he was an awesome boy. There's just nothing in this world like a boxer. ;)

Moselle the only one spoiling this thread is you. If you don't like what someone has said ignore it. There's no reason to be replying to absolutely every body in a thread that has a differing opinion from you!

I've just seen this. How devastating for you, your husband and boys and ofcourse for Lola. RIP Harry

Love the first and third photo's. :rolleyes: The cav looks like she/he is gazing adoringly at Clancy!

Awww Phoenix Hasn't she grown! :D Anytime you want to post more photo's please feel free! I'm glad to hear you are improving Jed! It must be annoying that it is taking so long to get back to 100%. I can't imagine the frustration that you might be feeling when you know that you can do something but your body won't allow it. You will get there and DOL is behind you all the way!

RIP Kasper Hugs to you and your wife Arash. I'm sure Kasper knew how much you loved him.

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply Sway! I am more and more intrigued!

They do look like monkeys kind of don't they! Either that or an Ewok! What kind of grooming do they need. Is it something the owner should do themselves or could you take it to a professional groomer and have them do it?

Archer looks adorable! I think i need to see one in the flesh! Do they bark a lot?

Me to! But i know nothing much about them. There is a thread for them in the Dog Breeds 101 section but no-one has written anything there yet. *waits paitently for replies*
