Fantastic, I love the last one too!

Good luck I'm sure it will be nothing sinister and all will be well with your girl, the waiting is a killer, I'll be in the same boat soon too, having a consult tomorrow for Cooper and probly surgery later in the week. It sucks as its all I can think about! Fingers crossed its all good!!

I'm off to the vets tomorrow see HERE for reason, but just wanted to say JJ when I spoke to the receptionist/vet nurse she was sooooo good, I explained about Cooper and his past and she said they will work with me to make it all good for him. I was so pleased. Remember I said a new vet will be ok till I need something big done with Coop, well this is it. The appointment is tomorrow so I'll report back after that. Did you end up swapping to Lava?

That's the thing that's bothering me the most that it has gotten bigger, the vet nurse said they may even be able to just snip and quarterize it. Not sure it will be that easy but I sure hope so. The lyphoma needs to be removed too as its doubled in size. I wish it was tomorrow already, I am so impatient! :laugh: I just want it all over and done with.

Fingers crossed Timmy gets some lovely owners. Great photos, he has grown so much, such a beautiful boy!

It would be great if it was that easy and it would be soooo much better for Coop. I just rang the clinic and we are booked in for 10.30 in the morning for a consult. The vet nurse I spoke to was fantastic, I explained a bit of Coops history and she said there is lots we can do to alleviate his fears and mine. They might be able to fit him in for the surgery this week.

I just re read this whole thread, gorgeous girl. Well done on her achievements!

I sure will. Lacy and Bron need their yearly vacc so I'll book CJ in as well. Thanks that's good to know.

Good Idea, his teeth do need a clean, even though he has bones and I brush his teeth on occasion. he is 6 next month and has never had his teeth cleaned by the vet. He can have the works, poor fella won't be a happy camper after this little expedition. I will no doubt work myself into a frenzy as I know how much he despises the vets and does not do well waking up in a strange place. The last time he had a procedure done they had to get me to go and get him from the room where they go after surgery from the cage as they couldn't go near him to get him out. Now this is a dog who is as gentle and loving as you can get he just hates the vets.

Ha Moosey we were posting at the same time! I was a bit indecisive before this thread but I have made up my mind now, vets it is as soon as I can get an appointment!

Yes it is definatley bigger now than it was to begin with, so it is growing but not at a huge rate. It is kind of in a tear drop shape so the base of it is attached in only a tiny area if that makes sense. The piece thats attached to his face is not as big as the whole thing. He does look pretty cool in the sunnies, he wears them well! :laugh: Pers, the vet seemed quite familiar with these things but the thing is my normal vets (husband and wife) have both left the clinic and I have to start off with a new vet, so I might make an appointment and pop in and see what they say, might be good getting a second opinion anyway.

Thats great Snook, I have seen a few Cesar eps with dogs with back packs, and it seems a great idea for dogs who need extra work to do! Just looking at my photo of all 4, wish I had of set Lacy up in the middle she looks a bit lost on the outside being the smallest!

Hi Guys, Just wanting some advice on a medical dilemma with Cooper, He has a "thing" on his face, the vet described it as a kind of like a wart but it has a blood supply as it has got veins running through it. It has been a while ago since we seen the vet and at the time she suggested just to keep an eye on it and leave it be if it isn't worrying him, which it isn't at all, he doesn't even paw at it. I have to be careful when I bath him and brush his face but other than that he seems fine about it. When I bathed him tonight I noticed it seems quite a bit bigger, probably not quite double the size it was when I first took him to the vets about it. What I am wondering has anyone else had one of these on their dog and did you get it removed and what was involved. I will definatley be guided by the vets advice next time we go and if they think it should come off then it will, I just don't want him to have to have surgery unnecessarily. But at the same time I don't want it to get ripped off by him or one of the other dogs either especially if I am not here at the time. He also has a fatty cyst under his arm which has gotten bigger so if he did get the thing off his face they would probably do the lump under his arm at the same time. The side of his face usually looks like this So the thing is totally unseen in normal circumstances this is whats under the fur, he is just out of the bath in these shots.

Here it is

Love this, But there always has to be one that bucks the system! :laugh: I had a similar one of all of mine lined up and I called it one in every crowd, Ill see if i can find it. Annie, I really love the Birthday shot of Phoebe, so cute! :laugh: and she looks so unimpressed! Glad she is back to normal.

Loving everyones shots this week, Kuma looks like he is loving the bubbles, :laugh: Love the back pan not he J man! Do you load it up with anything? Week 14 A couple of back yard snaps for us this week.

Sounds like a great idea, living so close we go up there all the time. Only thing is where the playground is the dogs have to be on leash within 30 metres of the playground. If it was only us it would be fine.

I watched it, it was very interesting, I am going to do a few experiments with my four just out of curiosity! :laugh:

Oh you beat me too it, my comment should have been after the dogs. Fantastic shots, love the sky. Great DOF in the other shots!

Lovely so far, looks nice and sunny at your place! :laugh: love the last shot. Are you just using auto setting?

*waits patiently! *

Congrats on the new toy! Look forward to photos, and Happy Birthday!

No worries i'll keep you posted!

No idea about price, at the moment I get mine for $75 for 20 kilos. So I will be interested to see how much it is at Prime. They havent listed Prime as one of their retailers on the website yet. So not sure if it is in store yet?
