The most handsome boy... please give him an extra kiss from me! T.

Those eyes get me every time... he loves his heart human so much! Good boy Don! T.

Pretty sure there are some who do have those thoughts with regards to humans who need some help from science to conceive... *sigh* That said... IVF is no walk in the park... it's scary nasty things needing to be gone through for the poor woman involved... and bloody expensive to boot! I take my hat off to anyone going through it. T.

After no solution over this long a timeframe, I'd be going to the Police and getting them to deal with it... T.

I've seen great results with paw-paw ointment (human stuff) on a dog that had full thickness burns - healed all but a tiny spot, with great hair regrowth... worth a try... just get a tub and rub a bit on the bald spot daily, it won't hurt... T.

My guys get human grade food... and definitely do a LOT less poop than when they used to eat a commercial high end kibble... T.

I would be approaching the vet with a query, not an accusation, OK? Don't approach it as if they did something negligent to cause it, as sometimes things just happen that are beyond their control, and accusing them of not acting with due diligence won't get anyone anywhere. By all accounts they saved your pup's life, so if pup now has a small bald patch that may take some time to grow back in, that is really a very small price to pay, yes? T.

The catheter for taking blood and attaching the IV would have been placed in the shaved area... not outside it. The bald patch looks to be below the patch towards the wrist/foot, is that correct? How long was she on the drip? Could the patch be from the port on the catheter rubbing, or from where the tape was placed to secure it, and maybe when removed pulled the fur out a bit more vigorously than expected? Hair/fur grows back slower if it's been pulled out by the root... T.

Oh perse... my heart breaks for you... Fly free with the angels sweet Tallie-Cat... T.

5 already?!? Seems like only yesterday when we were all waiting on tenterhooks for them to be born... Happy birthday Seekie... you still have the prettiest eyes in the land sweet girl... T.

Lipoma fat can come in all colour ranges from clear to a darkish yellow... but the common property is the fact that the stains don't attach to the aspirated material. Lipomas can also have different consistencies, from really soft and fatty feeling, to almost hard. Hard lumps could also be fibroids, which are also usually benign... but pathology checks are definitely indicated to confirm that any harder lump is definitely benign. Any lump that feels like it has attachment strands or is very irregular in shape or feel should be sent off to determine their content... way better to be safe than s

Sooty may adjust just fine to having you all to herself... give it a bit of time and see how she processes the change in routine... you both need a bit of time to process it methinks... Huge hugs for you and sweet Sooty... T.

I have a great dane cross who has on occasion pushed the limits with her behaviour. She is a large and powerful dog, but is extremely nervy and obstinate. She has tried to snap at me a few times when she hasn't liked something I was doing to her... and believe me, that is quite a scary prospect! On all such occasions, she has been told in a deep growly voice that her behaviour will not be tolerated, and so far, that has stopped her in her tracks and I've come out of the situation without injury. You need to make Henry know that you won't be tolerating his naughty behaviour... not a

Oh Cyn... my heart breaks for you... You have been the most awesome mummy to all your little oldies... they all knew they were adored above all else in life, and spent their best years with you. Please remember them all with smiles for all the treasured little moments they have given you over the years... no tears... just joy in your heart knowing that you loved and were loved back a thousandfold... T.

My labrador was named Trouble... for a reason... labs can be very smart, very driven, and very easily bored... mine chewed pretty much anything she could get her teeth on as a youngster too... and was expelled from group training for being the naughtiest dog in the park... err! Have a read of the book "Marley and Me" for all the fun that can be in store when getting a Labrador... lol! Rgardless what breed or cross you decide to welcome into your family, it is going to need plenty of obedience training and socialisation if you want to end up with a perfect family pet... and that wil
