Gorgeous words for your special friend. Their time with us is over too soon.

That's great news

They look like twins now

Yes! It would help to educate the public, and makes the buyers task easier. Plus, on some sellers websites it is easy to get lost trying to find relevant information which then has to be written down before moving on to check the next seller.

It's heartening to read a good news story involving the RSPCA. Such a happy ending, congratulations Iggy Rescue :)

Great news! I can imagine your relief!

Agree 100%

Done :)

YAY! Problem solved :)

Did the vet do investigations before making the diagnosis? I ask because my daughter's very elderly dog was found lying on her side and unable to move except to scrabble in a circle with her paws. She couldn't even lift her head. She was rushed to the vet who said she would need imaging (?MRI) to determine what was going on, but she thought it might be vestibular disease. My daughter was very distressed about it all and made the heart breaking decision to PTS.

It's an excellent idea I'd also like to see something like this for the 'mature dogs for sale' which I occasionally browse. Some of the reasons for selling are had to believe, and it's hard to tell the good from the bad.

Steph M, when I read your first post I had the same reaction as you :laugh: Then I clicked on your link minimax ... bad move! Now I just have to find $120 somewhere!!!!!

So sorry for your loss cephercat.

Not sure which I enjoyed more, watching Fame or listening to your laughter dyzney :D

Still chuckling here at 'new toes' and 'big balls' :D Happy 1st birthday Tempeh!

The next 3 weeks will seem such a long time Ash! Exciting times ahead :) Some puppy schools are better than others. Ask around for recommendations if there is more than one in your area. I've read that it's good to have family dogs over to visit so long as you are certain they are fully immunised and disease free. My pup had her second vaccination at about 9 weeks, after that I took her lots of places in a very small dog crate! I don't know if it advisable or not but it exposed her to a big variety of sights, sounds and smells. If we were away from home for more than 30 or 40 minutes I would return to my car and put her on a wee pad on a towel on the car floor and she'd usually oblige! Then a drink of water and back to whatever we were doing, like watching kids sports, hardware shopping, supermarket, nursery, petbarn, petrol station, carwash, sidewalk cafe etc. She loved that crate, it was her safe place and her bed at home. I sold it when she outgrew it :)

Your dog and pup are gorgeous! I wouldn't give chicken necks to a 9 week old pup who hasn't learned to chew bones. Perhaps stick with chicken mince even if it is human grade and introduce bones in the form of chicken wings.

Love the pic, Lou was a stunning looking dog. Your words are beautiful, so sorry for your loss.

He is a proud & dignified looking boy! Congratulations :)

What a great life your dogs have Lisey! I had to hide the pics from Misha ... she'd be so jealous! My mountain hiking days are far behinds me now :)

So sorry for your loss JRT Lover. I don't have the experience to answer your question but I'm sure others will be able to.

I thought the same. There's a look that dogs get in their eyes, when they know they're safe & much loved. Those beauties have it! +1 Great pic Ruthless! Happy Birthday Trixie!

Adorable

Thank you for sharing.

Had to laugh at your sister's comment :laugh: I think it's sad that dog's are banned from most shops, public transport etc in Australia.
