Ange! they're all lovely!

dont tell me you haven't got a pure staffy? Hopefully they're not rejects. You should find 2 on either side of the face and one under the jaw, if not, complain to your dogs breeder.

I suppose in a way she was right. Purebred Staffordshire terriers do have 5 moles on their faces.

I knew this bloke years ago who lost his german shepherd. A few weeks later he was all happy saying he'd found him. When I saw "Duke" again I could see it was a different dog, completely different shaped head, totally different personality but he knew as soon as he saw him it was Duke because....you guessed it, it had moles on its face just where Dukes were. I suppose the only good thing about it was a lost GSD got a new home, but I never found out what became of the real Duke.

No, I didn't see it. I dont know about it, can you give more info? edit, been off looking, is this it. Ch 9 seems to be promoting it here although anyone with a bit of compassion would wonder about the welfare of the goats. http://travel.ninemsn.com.au/australia/goa...lightning-ridge

Had an interesting and enlightening conversation with a woman at the park today. She had a tiny 9 week old puppy and she told me it's a "pure Staffy". The way you can tell, and this must be fair dinkum cause the breeder told her, is that pure staffies have 5 moles on their face. When I explained to her that all dogs have 5 moles she didn't care. I showed her on the whippets, the Italian Greyhound and the 2 little mutts I had with me. I suppose I need to get in touch with Dogs Vic to see about having my dogs papers changed from Whippet to Staffordshire terrier. She also told me that the Iggy I had with me was a miniature Dalmation, bet you never knew there was such a breed did you.

just you wait Rusky, it will happen to you one day. Thankfully, another thing I've noticed about those particular turds is they dont have a strong smell. A couple of times I've picked one up thinking it was a little stone, and then I realise I'm holding a dog turd in my bare hand. Much ewwwing and running to the bathroom to dispose of said turd and sterilise my hands.

I've had this happen with my whippets, and yes always a hard pellet type thankfully, because........it's usually in MY BED!!!!! I wake up to find I've been sleeping with a dog turd. Not nice. I dont know who does it, or maybe it's all 5 who occasionally have one slip out. Thankfully it doesn't happen often, probably only once a year, even that's plenty. Oh, meant to add, I dont think it's age related with mine although they're getting on in years now, I think it's just a turd stuck in their passage and it slips out while they're asleep.

congrats on the new lens. I dont even know what Kenko tubes are, I've heard of them but not sure, are they like extenders? anyway, here's a little Italian greyhound I am looking after at the moment.

I've got the 100mm without IS and I love it. I use it alot for action and portraity type pics, maybe even moreso than macro, which I am not that good at. It's a beautiful sharp lens.

I can promise you, they love it!

she's part of the display. Ummmmm she's not having a piddle in there though is she

too funny! I did this with mine a while ago too and got some of the same funny looks. They'd be good for captions wouldn't they.

clay like poo is probably from eating bones, it will go white when it dries in the sun. I dont worry if mine do light poos, as long as it's not very dry and hard for them to pass.

Wooo oooooooo! Has the train left the tunnel yet?

I know it's too late but they sounded like pain symptoms to me. I hope she is OK now.

One of the regulars at the park most mornings, doesn't she look contented. This is Amy

Hopefully he's had a poo by now, otherwise you'd better take him to the vet.

Ouch.. Lemon would burn! perse I have zero experience in performing such a thing so I wouldn't be willing to do this to my boy. I will buy a syringe today and see how we go! I knew drinking would definitely help but I wasn't sure how to get the monster to drink more. I guess a little forceful discomfort is better then tummy cramps and possible discomfort. You might not need to force him. Try getting him to lay down on his side, with his head flat too and just gently drizzle the water/liquid in the corner of his mouth. You could try buying or making some chicken stock, he might drink that willingly anyway. I'd probably hold off feeding him for now, unless it was soup.

I think you and your cameras are the best advert for point and shoots. It's a terrific photo.

It happens every season, local dogs harrass and terrorise the local wildlife. Thankfully the brave parents led the dog on a merry chase and the little ducklings were unharmed and the family got back together again. The owner was trying to stop her dog from doing this and when she caught him he was put on the lead.

I should've mentioned how I got her to drink so much. I found if she was sitting up and I used the syringe it would just dribble out of her mouth, but if I gently pushed her so she'd lay flat and then just slowly squirted the syringe in the corner of her mouth, she drank it all. In fact once she realised what I was doing she took it willingly, I think she even liked it. Make sure if you get electrolytes you make it to the recommended dose.

When my whippet Feather became constipated after eating too much bone the vet prescribed electrolyes to be syringed into her mouth every hour until I went to bed. I gave her much more than he said to, every time I woke up, I'd give her more. She probably had at least half a litre overnight but didn't go out for a wee once, which to me meant she was using the fluids in some other way. In the morning she went and did a big poo and all was well then. I'd say get lots fluids into him to help soften it. How about chicken broth.

whoa! by alot too, an extra $15US

that's wonderful news.
