Ummm... can you send little Smoke to me please perse? He is too adorable for words! T.

You could send it off to Canon... they aren't quick with their turnaround though... they will send you a quote for the repair work needed. T.

Huntsman bites can affect small mammals - at worst they may paralyse a limb (or part thereof) for a while. Overall, they are pretty harmless venom-wise to larger dogs. I was bitten by a Huntsman once on my neck - it came up in this huge nasty boil like thing and was not fun at all! Horrid scuttly things must die if they come in my house! T.

Hahaha! Teamwork at it's finest! T.

Harper will play with Funnel Webs, but can't be bothered with Huntsmans... stupid dog! The other 3 won't lift a paw to earn their keep around here either... grrr! You should have seen them when I had mice... just sat and watched them, but wouldn't try to catch them unless they were already dead... *sigh* T.

Don't you love such exhuberance? Gruf is thoroughly enjoying his hunt... lol! T.

The general rule when a dog is attacking you is to make yourself as small a target as possible and don't offer any major resisitance, as this could aggravate the attacking dog into attempting to do even more damage. That said - sometimes you may need to fight back in certain circumstances - and in that case, aim for the chest area with as hard a kick as you can, preferably with your heel... that is the most vulnerable spot.

Sydney Dogs and Cats Home at Carlton? I'm sure they'd love some extras... ... or Fairford Rd Vet (Canterbury Pound)... T.

We need more ball boys like them methinks! T.

She may just have a UTI... course of AB's will fix it. Don't panic, just go to the vet and have her checked over, OK? It's most likely something benign... T.

Squeeee!!! Puppy cuteness overload! T.

Look to get a vibration collar for the pup... they don't shock, just vibrate, and cue the dog to look for the owner so they can get the visual command. T.

I think I want a bucket of boxers now... *grin* T.

I used to have a desexed female who would get more "randy" than any male when my entire bitch would come into season... I'm sure she was just trying to show my boy what was expected of him... errr! T.

You don't need to harden up Kirislin... descriptive text and distressing images affect all of us who love animals... T.

I've edited to add a warning about the descriptive text... sorry Kirislin... T.

Pet industry page will forward offers of help to where it's needed... https://www.facebook.com/AussiePetPeopleHelpingInCrisis Edit: WARNING... descriptive text regarding fate of the animals. T.

Cover the sides of the crate also... randy boy dogs and little trollopes can tie through mesh... errr! The joys of females in season... *sigh* T.

OMG! OMG! I'll be glued to my screen if/when she does the mumma thing... *grin* T.

Might be worth asking the vet if there are any other reflux medications you can give Danny - ranitidine is really only a short term fix from my own experience. Nexium (esomeprazole) or Somac (pantoprazole) are more effective in humans than Ranitidine - are there any small animal equivalents? Will he drink milk? I know that it gives me short term relief from acid if I've forgotten to take my Somac that day... maybe the low lactose pet milk for Danny may help a little if he's feeling yukky - it will also sooth his sore throat. Maybe warmed pet milk with some manuka honey mixed through to sweeten might tempt him? T.

Is Neko desexed, or is there the possibility of her being a mummy herself in the future? Wonder if she'd throw some tan? T.

Oh Jed... my heart goes out to you reading all of this... it must be so hard for you. Thinking of you right now with a few tears of my own for what all this brings back to mind. I hope you are hanging in there OK, and not dwelling on some of the posts speculating on what happened. Not many here can really know how it feels to lose their beloved pets in this manner. Stay strong my friend. T.

This must bring back all sorts of horror for you Jed... hugs my friend... T.

2 stunning parents... little Neko was destined to be gorgeous, yes? Wonder where the tan for the boys came from? T.
