I was hoping to read some good news this morning .I hope he is home safe and well today, come home Alvin.

What an awesome trip that will be! Lucky Badger.

All fingers and toes and crossed for Alvin. Hurry home little man!

My girl who is quite allergic to all kinds of environmental factors and foods does really well on Comfortis. It's really the only treatment that works for the full month, in fact sometimes 2 months.

Mumof4girls I am so excited for you! You have waited for what seems like forever for your little man and he is so darn adorable!! I know that he will bring your family much happiness. He is going to be one very lucky and loved little dude:)

So sad:(. RIP Lucky. At least you finally experienced some comfort in your too short life.

I was wondering what happened to this little guy. Love happy endings!! Great work SC.

They never leave our hearts. Run free beautiful Odin.

Clever Katy! That would be brilliant excerise and heaps of fun to boot:)

Hi Bruce !

I think I am your Brother ! My name is Winston and I am from Bonipugs !

You can stay in touch with me via my Facebook page: My FB Page

See ya !

Awww another cutie pie! So irresistable! Would have a pug in a heartbeat if it wasnt for that incessant shedding

I would be happy to help out in the next few weeks. I currently have my hands full with foster cats and newborn kittens but feel free to keep me in mind after Feb or so if you still need help.

Just the thread I wanted to see!

Luckily we have small rocky areas where lizards can get out the way, I believe there is a large blue tongue hiding there at the moment. The only trouble is that I won't be able to tell if it's still around or not, and I don't want to let Bella outside if the lizard's still around as she would definitley go for it. Bella (and her visiting Greyhound friend) have caught and killed one blue tongue before.

OT but Bella is beautiful

Dxenion what wonderful work you do! I spent time last night checking out your FB pages and they are awesome.!!

Congrats on your nomination, you seriously deserve it. Anything I can do to bring awareness to your cause please let me know.

I forgot to add Poodles, particularly the Standards .

I also love the sighthounds, the greys, whippets, borzoi's are so regal.

Run free beautiful Maggie

I sometimes wonder what kind of training some of these vet nurses who runny puppy classes have.

I have also had a negative experience at puppy preschool. My girl had no interest in playing with the other puppies as she was a quiet, gentle girl by nature. In the class was a very exhubarent SBT, a gorgeous Ridgie, a Bull Arab x,a Clumber Spaniel and a GSD. My puppy at the time was a teeny tiny Maltese! I had to be quite firm with the trainer and not allow her to push my little one in the mix . Never went back again.

Socialising your dog does not mean allowing a free for all tumble. I carefully chose who she could play with and always supervised. She grew to be a very well balanced, social dog.

I find this thread so sad:(. Especially in regards to dumping older pets for pathetic reasons like a new puppy! I looove the oldies. I love the panda eyes, that aura that they have been here before. They are over the craziness of puppyhood and they make the most faithful companions. It's probably my favourite time in my dogs life, when you have been through so much together and you know eachother inside out. When you know that your days together no longer feel infinite and you treasure them every day. I wouldn't give that up for anything. Go the oldies!!

Hear most of the usual excuses on a daily basis but had a heartbreaking one just on xmas eve . Woman rang the vet to pts her just turned 1 year bc x whippet saying her daughter was sick ......vet asked if she had any health issues and had she tried rescue groups ? No health issues except she was pregnant so she didn't think anyone else would want the hassle of having pups over xmas either . We picked up Bindi on Xmas Eve afternoon and she gave birth to her 8 babies on Xmas Day

What is wrong with some people! .

Wow Clyde what a stunning boy!

That little guy looks like Trouble with a capital T!! Good thing he is cute enough to get away with just about anything:).

Funny you should mention that Winterpaws. My hubby and I just decided to get some quotes for 6ft fencing. We only recently purchased this house and it was on our 'to do list' but it has just moved to top priority. It should solve the problem at hand and as I plan to get another larger dog most likely this year it something we would need to do before this happened anyway.

Thank you everyone for your input. Suki is only having supervised outside time until we get this fencing sorted but as she is mainly an inside girl who only goes in the yard to do her business and eat her bones she won't really care. In regards to the children entering our property all I can do is advise the appropriate authorities every time it happens. Unfortunately we have no control over people's behaviour. In her words her son is 'an escape artist' and I think she has put it all in the too hard basket. As far as the little Foxie is concerned he is just the sweetest thing who does not let the little boy out of his sight. Even in their yard I can see him trotting right behind him. He is his little protector, af least someone is looking out for him:(.

I know what you mean! Since joining DOL I have more breeds on my 'wish list' than I could ever possibly hope to own in my lifetime:). Dolers like Gayle with her beautiful Aussies and Mita with her Tibbies have led me to research breeds I never considered before. And don't even get me started on Lappies and Fauves!!!

Suki is crated in my room at night. I am a light sleeper and I would never get any sleep if she were on the bed with me! She loves her crate though, she will often go in there of her own accord when I am not home or for some reason she can't follow me around the house.
