  1. very cute, love the idiotic Benny Hill music to go with it too.
  2. At the annual Wogdogarama event last Sunday Arkey and Neko had lots of goes at the drag lure. They love it! ready? Gooooo!
  3. I hope it isn't a conformation fault that's caused the injury or there's going to be alot of cattle out there with dodgy knees from him.
  4. What a terrible shock for you. So unexpected. I'm very sorry, I hope you can get some answers. Was he old?
  5. isn't this what foxes are spreading to the wombat population and causing them slow painful deaths?
  6. :laugh: I'm sure he'd beg to differ! He spends a lot of time sleeping and snoring. Yes Huga, but who knows what incredible dreams he's having! :laugh:
  7. you have my sympathy. I just went through this with Kibah (almost 14yo whippet) and although I knew she was old it came on suddenly and took me by surprise, but in her case I had no doubt that her time had come. I still have old Penny here. She's almost 15 and is a bit like you describe, she's going in the back legs and I think now going senile. She's very frail, much more than Kibah was, and I've been nursing her along for over a year now. She's skinny and gets a bit confused, she needs help most of the time to get on the bed, I have to lift her into the car, and I've got to make sure the others dont knock her about. The reason I dont think she's ready to go yet though is because at least once a day she bounds about like a puppy, a very wobbly puppy, but she still gets an attack of the sillies and has a sense of fun. I know she cant go on much longer though. Although it's easier to say than do, I've realised all my worrying about when her time comes is pointless. It's inevitable and all we can do is love them and give them a good life, and a peaceful end. As with all of my dogs, I worried at the thought of not having Kibah around anymore, but I have actually accepted her passing better than I anticipated. I think because I could see there was nothing I could do to fix her condition I am somehow at ease about her passing. I'm still missing her, but not actually wishing she was still here, because I know she'd be in pain if she was. Yes, I wish they could live forever, but I hope like me, you will be able to accept it better knowing you couldn't have done anything more for her, or loved Tess anymore than you have.
  8. My 2 male whippets are around the 18kg mark, that's massive for a whippet. They were initially a bit rough with her but quickly learnt to moderate their play without me teaching them to. I still have to watch them with her but they'd never intentionally hurt her. I do have to be very careful at the park though if other dogs are around. What breed is your dog, I thought a Vizsla would weigh more.
  9. thankfully she does sleep a bit but when she's awake I cannot relax because she's crazy, she ricochetes off the furniture or the whippets and pelts around the house and outside causing mischief where ever she goes.
  10. I love that balloon shot.
  11. If he's around at a regular time is it possible to go out without your dogs, and actually speak to him. Let him know you're frightened of his dog and also suggest he use a fixed lead, not an extendable one. I hope he's open to reason, although from what you've described.....maybe not.
  12. I know you're right and that my fear is irrational (thanks Mum). I always feel guilty if I kill a huntsman, I read once they can live for over 20 years.
  13. Australian bred Italian Greyhound Berizza Reach for the Stars. Best Puppy in Breed. CRUFTS 2014
  14. I love how all the dogs get a little shirt to fit. :laugh:
  15. Kinda my reaction too... with a bit of sphincter clenching as well... *shiver* T. better it tightens than loosens which is kinda what I felt like doing. :laugh:
  16. Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap! I know I was told not to look but well you know. Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!Oh crap!
  17. some of them are so chilled by it all, others looked a bit unsure. The whole thing looks like a lot of fun. They're the most colourful photos I think I've seen of yours Huga.
  18. I pity the animals who cop him for an owner when the two year ban is up.
  19. on top of it all the poor dog has to adjust to a new home.
  20. agility starting now. http://www.crufts.org.uk/ Kelpie in the lead in medium
  21. what does it weigh? Can you take a photo of the lens, I want to see the beast. S'ok, I looked it up. Congratulations, I know we'll be seeing some amazing shots from you.
