You got rooly noice photos that day lillypilly... wasn't it fun taking them though... I think we both learned a few new tricks that day...

T.

Here's one...

Oooohhhh! That feels GOOOD!

T.

After the rain, we drove around the local area (rural) and got some nice shots of some cows... anyone like cow pics?

T.

What were the stools like? Any blood or a really awful sickening smell to them (Parvo poo has a distinctive smell to it).

T.

Dylan can have my birthday date if he likes... March 25th... shared with Aretha Franklin and Elton John, if the singing thing is any omen... lol!

T.

Shmooshies galore!! Awesome!!

T.

What has she been watching- to act that way ? :D

Probably taking tips in seduction from Miss Myrtie... *grin*

I'm betting that Jeune got that tummy scratch she was asking for... lol!

T.

Hey Steve, I made a nomination a few months ago now, but I don't think the person has been notified. How do we know if they have been told of their nomination?

Me too... :D

... so did I - 6 nominations in fact...

T.

If I flap them, do you think I will fly?

Stop pointing that thing at me

Ummm... a little less bottom burping please!

I'm flying!!

Look how far I can turn my head

I'm here under duress... but I'm getting a cuddle, so it's OK

T.

Run free sweet Sophie...

Moselle... Sophie will never truly die - she will always live on in your heart and memories.

I lost my heart dog back in 2004, and in all honestly, the pain never truly goes away - but we cope with it a little better every day that goes by.

Reading your original post had me with tears streaming down my cheeks and remembering having to say goodbye to my beloved Woosie. That was probably one of the most traumatic days of my entire life - a little piece of my soul went off to the Bridge with Woosie - as I'm sure you sent a piece of yours off with Sophie.

Rest easy knowing that Sophie has good company at the Bridge while she waits until the day you can join her again.

T.

Too cute... he's one cheeky puppy, isn't he?

T.

Or you can set a tap or hose to drip somewhere where there is halfway decent light...

T.

If you can meet the pups yourself, and the breeder allows you to choose the pup you want, the following method is to one I use...

Sit down on the ground near the puppies and let them do what pups do. After a while, one or more will come and snuggle in your lap. Select the one that falls asleep in your lap.

T.

I'm actually fairly chuffed with these photos. I even took the camera off auto focus and did it manually... definitely out of my comfort zone there... *grin*

T.

Last Saturday it rained some, so my friend lillypilly pulled out her camera and started snapping away trying to catch the dropets hitting the puddles near us... here are my attempts...

Trust me - catching these was a LOT harder than you'd think... took over 1000 shots for a handful of ones that were timed right... next time I'll even try to centre them better... hehe!

T.

This one ain't a dog... but it's definitely doing zoomies...

T.

Haha - KC doesn't seem to slow crazy puppies down one little bit. Occasionally they will stop, have a hacking coughing fit, spit up some phlegm, then continue playing like nothing has happened...

Having had quite a few rescue fosters, you tend to know what to look for in case the cough develops into something that requires more attention... *grin*

If your older dog is otherwise pretty fit and healthy, then if he does have KC, he should still be ok. just watch to see if he is coughing up coloured phlegm - if it's yellow or green, get him some AB's - if it's white or clear, then just treat him for the sore throat with Benadryl or Active Manuka Honey...

One of my babies had a long coughing fit last night, so I gave her some normal honey, and that seemed to stop it in it's tracks for a while... now she wants more of the sweet stuff...

T.

I don't mind if someone takes a photo of me and/or my dogs, but if they have the intention of posting it all over the internet, or to sell for use in some way, then I'd prefer them asking my permission to do so.

I have some great photos taken during the Youth Day/Week thing in Sydney a couple of years ago, but I've not posted them anywhere due to them clearly showing people's faces and I never asked permission to post them in a public place. I also have photos of people at a dog park interacting with mine and their own dogs - I won't post those publically either.

T.

I'd give the oodle a nice short summer clip - and do it regularly - will make life easier for everyone all around methinks...

As for Labs shedding... mine is in full summer shed right now... grrr!

Anyone noticed how nothing sticks to Lab fur, but Lab fur sticks to everything? I still haven't figured that one out...

T.

I want Kirislin's talent AND her camera... lol!

T.

Love the last one... cracked me up!

T.

Hmmm... it's an awfully big coincidence for your dog to suddenly start showing KC symptoms immediately after he's been intubated during surgery. Not totally outside the realms of possibility, but then again, many vets won't want to admit that they may have caused your dog discomfort via their intubation procedures either...

If it is KC, then don't worry too much unless the poor old fellow gets chesty or has green/yellow phlegm, OK? If the latter, get your vet to prescribe AB's then - until then, your dog doesn't need them for the KC bug itself...

I have 3 pups here with varying degrees of KC... nothing I'm too worried about - seen plenty of it before, and will probably see plenty more before I'm done... *grin*... the joys of rescue foster caring...

T.

I'd be more likely to suspect that your boy is coughing due to irritation from the tube he had in his throat during surgery... KC has a longer gestation period than a day or two...

Same treatment though if he has a sore throat - the Manuka honey will sooth it for him...

T.

They are all so cute!!

T.

It sounds like your old girl is having a second childhood... lol! My Zeddy has funny spates like this sometimes when certain personality type rescue pups are around... and as long as whatever is ingested can pass happily through at the other end, I'm not too worried... *grin*
