  1. That bad. Let's all think of May tonight and send her cyber wishes ..... and all the others out there in similar plights.
  2. Jdavis, we know all the arguments and you have put them forward ad nauseum because you are generally the "someone". Funnily enough for people obviously so dumb in your estimation, we know that perhaps other dogs could have been saved instead of May, but Stefie, DABS and Seniors have been around for a long time and I don't think you are going to change how they operate and why should they change just because you disagree with what they do? Back to May: can you let us know where she is Stefie. She certainly looks a beautiful girl and I hope she pulls through. Why is she covered in sores from wet cement? From the Pound? If so, surely they are failing in their duty of care.
  3. I think all the Pei Puppies should have tracking devices installed with their microchips. They are all in grave danger from a squillion totally besotted DOLers
  4. Have fabulous to read this wonderful news. Congratulations Little Tails. Marnie is one helluva cute little girl who will grow into a really beautiful adult. (PS Everyone: There are photos of Manny (was Geordie and Marnie's bro) with his new mum and sister on the Shar Pei Thread in Sub Breeders Section. )
  5. It's very hard and, as Anna says, they never leave you. Silkies always seem to look like wise little souls, don't they.
  6. Hopefully dog doesn't exist and it was all a wind up. Alternatively poster came on here hoping someone would take the dog. Or maybe poster has given the dog away having discovered that it costs money to keep a dog. Sad whatever the story is.
  7. Get a bottle of Optrex from the chemist, some cotton balls and wipe her eyes a couple of times a day.
  8. What does =/ mean? To be maintained as a health happy dog, a Maltese needs constant grooming and all dogs need to be taken to the vet for check-up probably twice a year. Once a year, a dog needs to go to the vet for her annual vaccination and even if the dog seems happy and healthy, it doesn't hurt to take her in just to be sure. Your dog should be microchipped, vaccinated, wormed, registered at the Council and desexed. Have all these things be done? I ask because if you need to ask what it costs to go to a vet, it sounds as though none of these things has been done and if you are first time dog owner, maybe you don't know the legislation regarding keeping a dog. Legislation differs from State to State. I hope you and the little dog become good friends.
  9. How is the old dog? How stupid not to accept responsibility - how can he not be responsible when his dog mauled the other? Hopefully the ranger will not leave him alone until he complies.
  10. It is a short term injection given to entire dogs around females coming into season. I'm sure more experienced people will be able to give you better information, but from memory lasts about 3 weeks. I find that even desexed dogs will "mate" with females except they are firing blanks. Danny is about 9 years of age and he still humps cushions and bedding and I can assure you it is the real McCoy . My original dog, a Maltese, was desexed at 10 months still "mated" with his mother if we visited when she was on heat.
  11. I used it with Rover because he was much too old to be desexed when I adopted him (nearly 17) because he was obsessed with Tilly and just wouldn't leave her alone. Didn't make an iota of difference and we even added tardac to the mix :D .
  12. Is this what the naturopath gave you. When you consider his size, this little guy has been knocked down by the double decker bus. Short bouts of fun and activity probably knock him for a six hence the long sleeps.
  13. It's the siggie wots done it . He is a gorgeous boy and obviously a strong and determined little fighter. Go Bucca !!
  14. Oh! the roller ocaster of hope and despair and hope !! My heartfelt wishes for you all and that Bucca recovers and is well and happy again.
  15. Naturally you are "all emotional". You love your girl and you are very worried for her. I don't think you'll find too many people here who think along the "just a dog" lines . Chin up. . Keep us informed as to how she goes. Belgian.blue, is there any way you can get the dog away from your ex to somewhere where she'll be given love and attention? What breed is she?
  16. What a nerve wracking time you and the breeder have had. I am glad you are taking the puppy. I wouldn't have been able to advise you one way or the other, but if I'd been so bold I would have said go ahead :p . I had a puppy diagnosed with a heart mumur on the day I collected her and took her to my vet. People asked me why I didn't take her back, which astonished me, because by then she was my dog, the way you have felt with your little one. She had lots of other things go wrong and didn't live very long, sadly, but her situation was entirely different from that of your puppy. Looking forward to the first day home photos.
  17. Just remember that when you're cut, you're cut. Can't be undone.
  18. Oh! Bonnie is just gorgeous. What a little sweetheart
  19. Thanks for restoring the photos. Well worth waiting for. Of course the model is pretty damned gorgeous
  20. How wonderful to have a "proper" Fox Terrier. You just don't see many around these days - they look so regal and special. I had a dog who just loved the water and would play and squeal for joy in the days when we could still water freely. She also loved water at the beach - still water with only little ripples coming in. She would run in and "bite" the top of the ripples all the time squealing with joy. How I wish I had a video of those times. She is long gone to god, sadly. Good luck with Rosie, it sounds as though you are having a wonderful time with her and she with you.
  21. How tragic, BB. You and the owners must be devastated. Are they making investigations?
  22. Looked an eye to me too .... and I thought very Dali-esque.
  23. Great idea. I will watch with great interest. Wowsa sure is a beautiful boy. I love the little Piglet at the bottom of the first photo.
