  1. Yes. Contact the vet! If it IS related to the injection,they need to told ASAP.
  2. Thank you so much for this update it sounds ad if the universe is getting things organised for you !
  3. Oh. Are there Pluto Lippizaners?
  4. I have trouble 'reading' him ... He does't show a lot of emotion, really ..Dear Don is an open book .. as was Molly . Puddley - I am now spending more time with him , using a lot more treats, and hoping to fall in love properly at some time ;) The Boss bemoans Pud's hearing/sight limitations, as The White Hound can really cover a lot of ground with an easy lope , like his mum & grandma ... he does have 'eye' , and enjoys chasing the feral goats (on the other side of the yard fence ) Pud also doesn't have a lot of delicacy or finesse LOL- 'bull in china shop' comes to mind .When he jumps into the rear tray/cab of Rodeo ..he is only stopped by the cab wall ! Thankfully he does love his bed - now I've fortified it with a HUGE thick blanket that he can't scratch out the front onto the dirt ... He gets called Pluto , Pud, pudjly (my most common nickname used for him) , and gives us lots of laughs :D
  5. Time to start taking dog photos again .... I so miss my Molly ... Anyhow .. here's the Puddeny one this morning , sniffing out rabbits in the paddock ..and using "eye" on Mary . (doesn't work on her)
  6. wow..guess alpacas are still 'wild' animals then? usually (feral) kids & lambs happily accept bottles after the first one or two . makes for a lot of work
  7. So, at half the size..... pruning of trees would be a much lower level ;) a good thing!
  8. maybe a squeaky toy ..or his ball , or one of your sox ... ..a bit of dry rabbit skin can work wonders ;)
  9. What a fantastic photo!! Shows the lad looking all fired up <3
  10. My little Molly's favourites were an opshop grab basket children's toy .. a soft face thing with a horrible laugh when squeezed/activated .. and a mini Jumbo jet soft toy , with all the sounds of a take-off !! Don loves that one as well .
  11. It is not sensible .. but desirable. baby kids are adorable ..and cute, and fun , and ... I have had numerous over the years .. the old pic here is Gladys .., with her favourite ball , her browse branches hanging on a chair... she lives indoors for a couple of months, as she was only a week or so old when I was given her . yes, that is her cushion by the heater ..she would sleep on that during the day , and in a cat basket at night . she was taken outside often, of course , and rarely messed indoors. She lived happily ( and crankily) with us for some years until, unknown to us, she stole a whole loaf of bread, which caused her demise from bloat . Kid goats are certainly one of THE most entertaining of baby animals .
  12. @Carl These things to read may be of help to you CLICK CLICK
  13. Is it really necessary for dogs to be worm and flea treated every month? it seems a lot of chemical every 4 weeks or so ..., esp in these times of most everyone cleaning up dog poo... I seem to remember worming every 3-4 mths , and flea treatments if/when needed. Obviously in paralysis tick area the procedure will be different ;)
  14. The resident Apostlebirds at least get close enough to photograph!
  15. A corgi can deter criminals my best 'guard' dog many years ago was a small dachshund cross! Lots of people would not come in the yard if she was outside . A dog outside all the time, esp at night may well be the one who barks all night , too have you read this information on your chosen breed ? ? GSD CORGI &nbsp;pembroke
  16. They are usually inside anyhow after about 7:30 . They get fed when they're put to bed ..whatever time that is - between 8 and midnight! No run after dinner ...then again, their dinner is not huge, they get stuff during the day as well.
  17. (we still haven' seen this boy ;) ) Just let him acclimatise ...get to know each other by doing your own thing as far as necessary - move in your own behavioural circles , and eventually they will intersect ;) relax , enjoy him as he is ... when he's ready , you'll know, I'm sure . play hard to get!! ...
  18. Agree - he just needs to build different relationships/unlearn old habits/ways of reacting ... teeny baby steps
  19. and you may be in for a lot of backsliding when you get another pup
  20. well, use turf , maybe ? is there a reason she can not toilet outside ..in a yard/balcony/courtyard?
