We so need a Love button @Troy... T.

Looking good Teddy!! You keep healing nicely for mummy, OK? Such a precious photo of him with his ball... so nice to have him getting back to his normal little self, yes? T.

How is Teddy getting along now @crazydoglady99? Pickles and Harper have been sending their best get well woo-woos non-stop... T.

Simply gorgeous! Lovely healthy looking little bundles of special... T.

Go Arkey!! Can't wait to see the latest bubbas... T.

Well done boys!!! Impressing the Boss enough to score a sandwich... your humum has taught you well! T.

The penalties are fiscal... and they are awarded to the RSPCA. So it could be followed that if the RSPCA don't think they can make that money, then prosecution isn't likely to happen... That said, I'm 100% positive that those dogs, if seized by the RSPCA, would certainly not have been with us now... the worst one would have been destroyed virtually immediately... T.

Go Teddy!!! Trubs sent you her most powerful get well woo-woos all the way until she grew wings... and Pickles and Harper have taken up the woo-woo duties in earnest now... Give the little superstar hugs and kisses from his Aunty T and tell him how awesome she says he is for doing so well... T.

Surely if they saw any of the dogs, it would have been relatively evident that something was amiss? RSPCA technically can enter if they suspect/ decide that an animal is being mistreated in any way. The only place they can't enter without a warrant is the dwelling itself. So I'm calling bullsh!t on their excuse... grrr! More likely they've figured that the owner is low income and they wouldn't make any money out of them... T.

How about giving her some raw chicken wings to chew on? Raw chicken bones are not brittle, and clean teeth beautifully... T.

Trubs went gently into the big sleep... a most dignified passing with those she loved the most around her giving her cuddles... Truth be told, it is actually a bit of a relief knowing that she's not struggling and I have to be at work. She had an awesome day today (bar a couple of hours I had to go out), eating more treats than she's ever been allowed... and they were the BEST treats ever! Thanks to everyone who have been supporting Trubs and I through this journey - it has meant so much more than you probably have realised. Massive love and hugs to all of you... T.

Dags may be a bit more like his daddy than first thought... lol! Clive definitely sounds like he's really wanting to please the Boss and you... he's gonna be an awesome worker I'm sure... T.

Trubs received a care package from a very special and wonderful lady... thank you so much @crazydoglady99!!! This afternoon at 5:30, Trubs will be going to join Zeddy, Connor, and Woosie at the Bridge... it's time... ... but until then, it's TREAT TIME!!! Woohoo! T.

Was his growling behaviour towards the same person both times, or different people? T.

Had a look at the map thingo... thank dog my work isn't on it... They do have the other petting zoo near us though, but only the location, no photos of anything or any real info. That facility is open to the public and we aren't, so that may be why we aren't on the map... we only do mobile. Also there are a heck of a lot of other facilities in the area that aren't on the map... which is a good thing IMHO. T.

Lovely lanky, happy, healthy boy... When do they start being tested for being able to work with the Boss? T.

You should see some of the crazy vegans that love to post nasty things about my boss's animals... who actually LOVE going out and meeting their adoring public. Wouldn't be much of a mobile petting zoo business if the animals didn't thrive on all the interactions they have... duhhh! T.

Bonni was one of my fosters many moons ago... she's 8 now! She's been so good with Happi... at first she had her nose out of joint and didn't want to have a bar of him... but now they play like there is no tomorrow. Already, she's shown him how to use the doggy door, where al the water bowls are, and is slowly teaching him that he has to go outside to potty. He's such a smart little fellow too - he already knows how to sit and mostly waits until his dinner bowl is on the ground before starting to eat. He's cheeky though... when he is told not to do something, he will growl and bark in true stafford cheeky fashion... lol! His mum lets him get away with some little naughty habits, but he's also worked out that Aunty T won't cop those, so he behaves nicely for me... *grin* I'd forgotten how tiny they are when babies... but he's a confident and happy little boy, and Bonni is so good at knowing where he is, and only trod on him once early in the piece. Poor girl was so upset that she'd made him yelp... T.

Awesome news! Go you good thing! Only a few more days little man... then the cone is gone and you can get on with finishing your healing in comfort. T.

@crazydoglady99... this is Happi... ... and with his big sister Bonni... T.

Nawww... Pudden is just such a handsome lad, isn't he? T.

Nice and pink... good blood supply... looking pretty good methinks... I reckon he's more worried about the fur and eyelash shaving than the actual eye surgery... that is probably as itchy as all getout as it's growing back... poor little moppet! I see that there is still cloudiness behind the red... hoping that clears well now. Trubs has enlisted Pickles and Harper in sending all their best get well woo-woos so that little man feels better soon. T.

And she loves you right back @crazydoglady99! T.

Sounds like Trubs' get well woo-woos are working some magic... yay! She's still sending them... T.

Tuffy is in beautiful condition... not fat and not skinny... perfect! The barking and biting looks like he's trying to tell you what he wants (barking), and when he doesn't get it, he is trying harder (biting)... he wants to play, but if it's not time for play, he's pushing the boundaries to get your attention any way he can. This is where a crate will be very helpful... he will have to learn that quiet time is quiet time (and that you need to sleep sometimes). Also remember that he is growing, and it won't be long before he works out how to get ON the bed when he wants... As for not obeying unless there is food... maybe try changing up his rewards for good behaviour - does he have a favourite toy you can sometimes use as a reward for doing what you want? A tug rope or teddy bear for example. So sometimes he will get food, sometimes he will get praise and a pat, and sometimes he will get a quick tug session with a toy... keep him guessing as to what reward he will get for doing good things.
