have a look at this thread~ grab a few cups of coffee ...dive in! I would suggest starting simple - using a meaty bone such as turkey neck or chicken carcass as a base ..

LETTER TO Dpi and department of fisheries Local Councils Ban 1080 baiting

oh - I thought it said banned *goes to look again*

10 80 is very effective ,BUT should only be done properly - ie: buried , counted, regularly inspected and removed if not taken . I am not signing - as I believe , when carried out responsibly , it is allowable . I HATE the irresponsible use of it , where birds can pick up baits , where domestic animals can access it , where no notifications are posted , and , in large areas, where people drive along, throwing baits out willy-nilly.

congrats!

Around here- the handsome ones are usually the ones who don't amount to much ;) We'll see ....Mind you, if he doesn't stop turning toys into snow drifts ........

What a cute face :) thankyou .

The lad's growing up. here he is this morning on a table, eyeing off clothes line perching Apostlebirds :)

Thunderstorms are when you get the BEST treats & games ..& go outside to play your favourite game :)

I love your son :) What a great thing to do . You've done well with the photos, too :)

I worked at a vet's many years ago - and we had good results with this :) is your dog having problems ?

if someone likes a particular breeders' lines.. or likes the support /health care the breeder supplies they will want a pup- interstate or not :) I certainly don't think it is unusual :)

It is a bit sore , no doubt ... but he certainly has NO idea of what his testicles were, let alone feeling "violated " :)

SO hoping for a happy day or two ... we do need Bru pics :)

I hope you have a more relaxed weekend .. thinking of you :)

:)

Thinking of you :)

Talking it over with Steve is indeed the wisest choice, as he knows you, your dogs and your situation :)

I agree - why expose her to other dogs if she reacts like that ? She doesn't 'have' to like or play with others of her kind - esp as she has her sibling , training, and a wonderful doggy yard!! Also, I would be concerned that your boy may pick up on her behaviour , and react in ways you won't enjoy Another who strongly suggests a reputable and recommended behaviourist .Feel free to ask on here for names !!

Just make sure he gets some fluid tonight .. and get some sleep . Tomorrow will be a big day .

have him onleash when thee are guests?

I prefer to not have things too warm ..as then puppies may not gravitate toward mum , and she may not gather them in ;) Just make sure the chill is off the air ,...(have you thought about one of these ? they are fantastic, and safe! ) and whelping box is preferably like a 'den/cave' to keep bodywarmth trapped in there .

<br /><br /><br />perfect :)

How are things today ?

swazzie - That diagnosis certainly sounds very bad - so yes, a specialist opinion will either confirm and explain and guide - or perhaps give other news. I wish you all the strength needed .
