If mm can't get photographic evidence, I'd be happy to accompany you on a weekend dog-spotting expedition. I'm totally intrigued now :)

He is just beautiful :love: May you have many wonderful years together :)

So sorry for your loss.

Tess is my heart dog, but I'm Fleming's human :D It took us (me & the rescue group) ages to decide he was a foster failure. We all reckon Flemo knew instantly. He loves everyone & everything, is such a happy boy without any problems with distress or anxiety (which he could potentially have had a lot of), and is just a delight to have around. He is happiest however when he's curled up on the sofa next to me, rolling on his back and 'talking' to me and telling me about his day :D

what a lovely girl. Sorry for your loss.

What a great shot, and what a lovely big grin on her face :D

what a beautiful boy, an I love that last one of him giving you cuddles :D

Oh what a terrible shame. Poor girl, and hugs to you PM

Hugs to you Pers......

What a fabulous place, and such gorgeous dogs too. Sounds like a delightful place to holiday

He's lovely What a happy smiley boy

Brilliant news You have done an amazing job with Narla and her pups, you should be so proud.

He is a beautiful boy ! Best of luck, and let us know how it goes with Carter.

Oh Lhok I've only just seen this. Sending hugs your way, what a horrible thing. So sad.

When I was in AdelaideI used to take mine to Linear Park all the time (I was in Athelstone) and passed lots of people jogging & cycling with their dogs.

Thinking of you and the Zig. Fingers crossed you get answers, and the solution is painless (for you both). Hugs from the MW house.

That's brilliant EtH and looks like such fun.

Congrats to all the nominees & winners. Well done :)

Results are back & it's not good news. Definitely sarcoma although results can't determine if it's in the cartilage or tissue. It doesn't appear aggressive or highly malignant thank goodness. Options are to remove the tumour, however it's in a very difficult position and would more than likely result in amputation of the foot, radio/chemo which has horrific side affects and in my vet's experience these kind of tumours don't always respond to it anyway, or do nothing. Given Tess is a giant breed and is 10 years old my instant reaction is I'm not going to put her through anything invasive, and am opting for the do nothing approach. I will be doing some pretty serious research over the next day or two, particularly around alternative therapies and natural healing stuff. So here I am at work a blubbering mess. I have to do a couple of things, and then I'm going to go home and give my girl a very big cuddle

Thanks guys. She's not phased at all...going off the snores. I'm probably (read definitely) paranoid & need to take some lessons from Tess & just chill

Last night Inoticed Tess had a hard lychee-sized lump on the back of her foot. Took her to the vet tonight who took 4 samples (fine needle aspirations) so now the waiting game begins. He marked them urgent so hopefully results will be in Monday afternoon. Any suggestions on how to pass the weekend without worrying? I am so proud of my girl, the vet said it would sting & got the nurse in to help hold here in case she kicked. Tess just stood there & didn't even flinch . She got lots of pats off the vet

I've been following you (I'm not a cyber-stalk I promise :D) since you first posted, and am loving seeing the pics of your beautiful boy. Are you counting down the hours yet? :D Look forward to seeing many more pics when you get him home.

What a wonderful thing to come out of such an awful tragedy. Buddy will always be remembered by you, but now he will be known and remembered by lots of people (not just DOLers) and educating lots as well. He surely was a beautiful boy. Hugs to you Caz.

RIP Tess and hugs to you GG.

Awww Cassie he is gorgeous. So glad Moose is enjoying having a little brother.
