jeune is very , ermmm, very lumpy ? LOL

.. and that is a very BIG ask , both for carers and pup . She will learn new habits/modes of communicating... she will mature in the care of others .At 9 mths - she has a lot of maturing to do ... for a couple/few months care , she may stay 'your girl' - for 12 mths - she will not be the same girl you left behind. As wisely stated, you need boxer-savvy people !! these people will then give her their hearts to stomp on with goofy boxer paddles , to dribble on - and they will face a wrench when they need to give her back You also need people who will educate her well - how will you know this ? Gosh, it's so very hard I couldn't do it ... Heartwrenching as it is , rehoming to selected ,lovely people will need to be considered , so then it won't matter if she learns to do xxxxx, or forgets yyyyyy, if she becomes a bench surfer, or loves stinky dead possums .... I hope it works as you wish - and I hope time with your F_I_L is longer and happier than first thought ...

It could well be a demodex mite -caused thing . Obviously a vet is the best plan for correct diagnosis /treatment . This page might be of help to you

Just HOW many steps? Sheepdog in Spalding, SA .
persephone replied to persephone's topic in General Dog Discussion
it would be interesting to put one on one of the dogs here when they're goating ..but a backpack or harness isn't the safest in their job -
It sounds cute ..BUT ;) puppies will often play with a soft crate ..a nibble here, a scratch here ... and then ..Oops ;) if puppy toilets in crate ..you will have a wet/dirty dog ... they may wake each other pandi might NOT enjoy someone else in her very private space ...

Interesting. Wish there was a less technical way to measure - It'd be interesting to learn how many Kms The Boss's dogs do on goat mustering days !! (dear reporter, they are NOT cattle dogs ... *sigh* )

arrrgh- sorry, keep forgetting ..anyhow - last week ..in our roadside mailbox. Juvenile bearded dragon And, fresh from the smartphone ... a very cold little Litoria peroni ..Peron's Tree Frog . Not quite warm enough for him to be awake yet , so I moved him to a more protected spot Colours are slightly 'off' , but .. I'm often just glad to get a photo!! Lovely to see where folks are by looking at all the images :D

persephone replied to persephone's topic in General Dog Discussion
oh ! I've never had too many escapees . The best one ever was one of those 10 ltr spring water bottles !! I put in a couple inches of water with bits of putrid meat . left the opening as it was and caught heaps. I think the trick is to have the actual circular opening only about 2 .5 cm from the bottom/floor/water . Flies will instinctively fly UP ..and can't work out how to get back down & thru hole . I always use water ... -

I remember them being called "Flea Pits" ..one of those inevitable carry-overs from our British legacy , when picture theatres were often very decrepit , dark, and populated by a lot of folks whose hygiene was suspect ...can you imagine what it would have been like with no aircon .. cold , damp dank ..and odiferous LOL

@Scottsmum I clicked on this to see a 'web' dog , sorry @Scrappi&Monty .... maybe for the human as well, so folks can read it ? https://dogsinneedofspace.com/gear-and-tools/ -
Leo was an absolute star in his younger days he's perked up this past day or so ...ate well on chopped roo last night , and the remains of a BBQ chook tonight his time is very limited though , but, while he's still tottering about , and eating ... it's all good .Very sad, but good . I think he'd be about 12/13 ? pretty good age for a hard working dog in this part of the world .. Ash enjoys his outings , but doesn't really "work " Not sure why ...he'll get a few more chances yet though

..this is the result of what they've been doing , awaiting the truck .

The Boys are back in Town ... well back, after a day's goating , anyhow Ash in the middle , Indi, & Wags ( doing the Yoda impersonation) .

This will be the last photo of our old Leo . His tottery legs will barely hold him, and he only had a few mouthfuls of dinner last night ...he's very tired . In his youth , he was a fearsome worker .. was a fantastic 'yard dog' .. and could travel many metres running on the backs of sheep ... could work flawlessly with The Boss , and would tackle Billygoats with a determination that was scary!! He has been retired for several years , but has deteriorated rapidly over the past month . He will be helped over the bridge soon, by his boss. Oh .. he's Hamlet's 1/2 brother . Same mum .
