@Dexter nachtwaechter a vet visit is in order to get to the source of his itchies and weight, ask your vet who may be a good dog behaviourist in your area edited to add: Steve Courtney at K9Pro is very good (for your dog's anxiety) https://k9prodogtraining.com.au/dawg/steve/

Update 1: Stolen vehicle and family dog appeal, Wynnum QPS Media on Nov 20, 2025 @ 9:55am QPS FB page...https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1K2PZZPonn/ Bayside Criminal Investigation Branch detectives have concluded investigations into the alleged theft of a vehicle, containing Arnie the German Shepard, from Wynnum on Saturday 8 November. The owner of the vehicle has assisted police with these investigations, and it has now been established that a criminal offence of unlawful use of motor vehicle has not occurred. It will be alleged shortly after 10.30pm on 7 November, the male owner drove the vehicle into Amelia Street in Fortitude Valley and left the vehicle on foot. It will be further alleged that Arnie was left inside the vehicle. Police allege the following morning the male owner advised his partner that the vehicle had been stolen from a Wynnum address. The female owner subsequently reported the matter to police. Investigators will allege that the woman was not aware that the vehicle had not in fact been stolen. At 4pm on 17 November, a member of the public located the vehicle parked on Amelia Street in Fortitude Valley. Arnie was located deceased inside the vehicle. Following extensive investigations, yesterday evening the 43-year-old male owner was charged with one count of breach of duty of care of animal by failing to provide under the Animal Protection Act. The matter is expected to appear before a Brisbane Court next month. Investigations remain ongoing. Media and the public are thanked for their extensive assistance throughout the investigation. Police are aware this has been a highly publicised case, and offences of this nature may cause distress and upset members of the public. The Queensland Police Service (QPS) requests that the public are respectful of the matter’s progression through the courts. The QPS takes animal care seriously. Any reports of a breach of a duty of care towards animals will be taken seriously and fully investigated.

Yes LG, I would check Arnie's page a couple of times each day and truly never thought he'd be found dead in the ute, such a shock and terribly sad, that beautiful much-loved intelligent dog just left there locked up, he must have been so confused as to why his dad hadn't come for him.

She would be laughable if the whole story wasn't so tragic, what a liar she is!

Try this next time you need to clip/examine/fiddle around with his nail. It should help. It worked well on one on my Westies who was very afraid of storms You can get it on-line or at Petbarn (linkie here)

You know the answer to your own question otherwise you wouldn't have come here and our answer will always be to say goodbye today. We all know the hell you are going through but it is always best to take the sooner than later option. Your little Lucy has had a good life and to prolong it now is just causing distress to her and you and what is another day going to bring? You can't fix old and sick I will be thinking of you and your dear Lucy today B

what a waggy tail!

Hi _PL_ did your littlies have a second injection after a month? Dandie Zara's vet gave her one and it's made quite a difference but I am wondering if she should have a second injection as well afetr reading that article. Zara is 14½ and unfortunately has a luxating patella and as she has really short legs an operation to take a nick out of her knee joint can be tricky, also he age is a factor as Dandies only live 12-15 years so to put her through that may be too hard on her

A really old thread here so maybe Starkehre is still about if you search as she appears to have sold them https://www.dolforums.com.au/profile/27202-starkehre/
