My Rottie girl was happy to eat DURING whelping... errr! T.

I reckon it would be like when I had Sydney Harbour views... you stop looking at it in awe after seeing it all the time... *sigh* T.

Interesting... my girl had 10 teats - the regular 8, plus the 2 immature (supposedly) ones almost in her armpits - blow up with milk for her 11 babies... (so did my Lab) Refusing food... getting exciting now! Can't wait to hear that Nova has delivered you a lovely bunch of fat and healthy babies in record time, not in the middle of the night, and not requiring any intervention... *grin* T.

Looks like you had a lovely day for it... wicked photos too! I went whale watching on the June long weekend here in Sydney, and it was a yukky day with a huge swell. It was all we could do to hold on, let alone take photos... lol! I was just happy I got some that were in focus... errr! T.

Gorgeous! What's the story with Zuri's little bald spot? T.

Ummm... yeah perse... it's "OK"... Just a wee understatement there my friend... Kirislin is right on track with the entering into a competition statement. It also needs printing up to a reasonable size and being hung on a wall in pride of place... "it's OK"... hahahaha! Actually, it's beyond superb... T.

You have the most amazing eye for a superb photo perse... it's like you tell us a story with each photo... incredible... T.

I've had entire males, desexed males, puppies, and juveniles - none has deliberately peed inside once toilet trained... T.

Don't listen to the naysayers Kirislin... they are just supremely jealous of the stunning dogs AND your photographic talent... *grin* T.

The vials for the vaccines actually cost very little less than these guys are charging to do them for. They used to be cheaper, but the price went up rather steeply a while back. When you go to a regular vet for vaccinations, you usually get a general checkup of your dog too... let's not forget that. T.

Feed her separately if she's on solids and has an appetite... and make sure she gets her share of boobie time on mum for the good stuff... T. T.

Did they sedate your dog maybe... that could explain the diarrhoea? T.

It would be good to be able to get those basics done at a reasonable cost... vaccinations, worming, and the like... but I'd be more likely to go to a proper clinic for anything that needed diagnostics or treatment. T.

They aren't affiliated with that other particular mob, are they? Seems like they are "specialising" in the breeds that other mob tends to want sprung from pounds... and the flowery wording of the ads seems similar too... T.

Lovely... I wonder who's let them use their 16D? T.

What smaller dogs don't have in size, they more than make up for in personality... right Kirislin? Stunning photos of stunning dogs as usual... and we need to remember how bloody hard it is to catch action that fast with a camera... those iggies can really move! T.

You can create calendars on Redbubble for other people to purchase... *hint* T.

Wow! What an awesome experience you had... and have some stunning photos of some seriously gorgeous dingoes to boot! *just a little bit jealous* T.

I've only just noticed how much she still looks like her puppy photo... such a pretty face... As for the latest "fatty" photos... OMG! Just wait until it all drops ready for whelping... she's going to be enormous in a week's time... errr! She looks in awesome condition too... you are going to have nice big healthy babies for sure... all 11 of them... lol! How many boobies are inflating? My girl's immature ones right up near her armpits even had milk when she had 10 pups to feed... Can't wait to see puppy photos... only a week or so to wait... so exciting! T.

Gorgeous! T.

A side tummy kiss is fine too... *grin* T.

8 weeks already?? Woohoo! Baby Rotties imminent! Could you give her a gentle tummy kiss from me... and whisper to the babies that you really only want 9... *grin* T.

Where is his crate currently located, and can he see you from it? I found that pups settled much better if their crate is in my bedroom and facing so they can see me... I also found that they settled easier if they had something puppy sized to snuggle up with - in my case a large teddy bear plonked in their bed to simulate a litter mate (purely for comfort reasons)... T.

It's kinda sad that the giving seems to occur most when a tragedy has occurred though... Wouldn't it be wonderful if that outpouring of care and concern went on all of the time? T.

Pickles fits the bill here perfectly methinks... as she was born in a remote camp in the Northern Territory, when people ask what breed she is, I ust say "pick one, it's probably in there"... *grin* T.
