Love his white goatee... gives him even more character... T.

I had my heart dog do this while I was on holidays... luckily she was with me, and we knew where the nearest vet was (in the middle of the night too)... but it was the longest and scariest wait ever to hear if she'd made it through the surgery! T.

Gorgeous... and kinda giggle-worthy... T.

He's making sure you don't get cold footsies! T.

A year already? Happy birthday little Ninja Neko! T.

Hahaha! Does he get the crazy eyes on when he does the flat out crazy zoomies too? T.

Good luck!! He looks like he really loves his "sandpit" though... T.

Pickles has chewed through my kitchen door 3 times so far... and is on her 4th round of same now. Skirting boards, walls, door frames... all bear the marks (read destruction) of all 4 of my dogs' puppy years... None of them has ever chewed cords though - go figure? T.

Used to be SCALLYWAGS DOG RESCUE LTD according to ASIC T.

I think plenty of owner/cuddle training may be on the cards... *grin* T.

Who needs a tucker box when you have awesome other things to climb up on, huh? T.

Is there anything more stunning than a healthy and happy Rotti? T.

Gorgeous! T.

Lilypily still has the same mobile number sas - and I'm sure if you can get the dog up to her, she'd happily take it on and do the needful for she and the pups... she's only about a 5 hour drive from Sydney... T.

Lace won't rememeber the discomfort part of her vet stay - so don't panic about that, OK? What she will remember is the good stuff - the chicken necks and when you finally come to take her home... T.

I have found that the only way to make someone responsible for their own actions is when they will have to foot the bill for being careless. Give your brother the bill to pay each and every time he is responsible for Spencer needing to see the vet - he'll soon get over having to shell out the money. T.

NSWAR are now located way out the back of nowhere... I wouldn't feel comfortable taking on a whelping bitch at my place just yet... it's barely 12 months since the parvo pups were here. I'd like to give it at least another 6 months just to be sure. Not that I'm not completely comfortable about the whelping part - but I'd hate to see tiny babies getting something nasty that could have been prevented. The only people I can think of that may be set up to take on this girl may be Big Dog Rescue... T.

Mine love being talked to, hugged, patted on the head, etc... they never got the memo either methinks... T.

Something along the lines of "you do the work and pay the ongoing costs, and we'll have the adoption fee" maybe dogmad? T.

My Zeddy is a senile delinquent... lol! May Don be the same as my Zeddy at the tender age of 15... T.

Thanks for your reply. No. she has been at the Vets the whole 10 days. The vet just rang and said that she has improved dramaticly since yesterday and is starting to put the foot down now. They have her on antibiotics and cream etc for the dermatitis. They are going to xray the hip tomorrow or Friday to see if it is still stable. He is quite happy with her progress today. I still feel worried but a bit better since his call. Thanks again. I'd be making sure they don't tack on any extra cost for the post-strapping swelling/dermatitis... they really should have been checking for both regularly while the dog was in their care. Call me a cynic/tightarse, but seriously, it shouldn't have happened on their watch. The actual cost of the antibiotics is nowhere near the price they like to charge us for them either. Fingers crossed that the strapping has done the job they hope, and that she doesn't need surgery... T.

Run free and with nor fears sweet Jesse... you were well loved boy... Big hugs to you and yours from me and mine Lulusuki... T.

Tell me about it... my cousin asked me to find him a rescue pup, but his wife kyboshed the idea because they have 4 kids and a couple of chickens that he's always "too tired" to help look after... so he went and bought a BC pup from a pet shop... Said BC has never had any training, pisses and shits in the house, and is a general pain in the proverbial - and they insist on bringing it along to family gatherings where it bites anyone who gets anywhere near my cousin's children (the youngest of whom is 10)... I suppose they got lucky that it seems to be pretty healthy so far... it could live for 19 years! T.

Zeddy could be made available on the Sunday if you need an old greying black dog who will do pretty much anything for treats and doesn't scrap with other dogs - she is trained in basic obedience, sit, drop, stay, and is socially acceptably behaved around other dogs and humans of all ages. Email sent... T.
