nasty blue woolluff ....

awwww.. :) Lovely.

..I would , and do always carry a muzzle with me ! if a dog is injured ..a muzzle is essential to stop bites ......muzzles can also be very handy if a dog freaks out for any reason ... same as I usually have a small slip lead with me - one never knows when it may need to be used. Playing devil's advocate here ;) The person you saw with all those dogs? perhaps owners provided the gear so their dogs could be at least walked? maybe they cannot walk them safely themselves, and this person has proved capable ? ;) My guess is that in big cities there is NO way each dog could be walked singly by walkers .. Walking at night ? hmmmm ...

gogeous boy !! :D :D

S'ok - just when I worked with labs a lot - there were so often ear/skin issues after they'd worn a 'cone' for a length of time - because of the humidity , etc ...

was she itchy all over- or mainly on face.? Hot spots are not surprising after a period of having a cone on - the skin stays warmer and more moist ... did you consider food may not be a problem ? it may be her body now 'getting rid of' the after effects of a GA , any antibiotics , and general change. ;) Does your vet usually do well with allergies/skin things ? if she were mine , I'd be just feeding fresh , with a probiotic .. and some ester C ...... lots of exercise ....avoiding heat on the skin not bathing too much ..to see what happens ...

:D thankyou !

glucodin is glucose ( a sugar) and is useful in cases of hypoglycaemia/shock carb soda- dampened- good for stings/bites . Styptic pencil -YES we always have a couple in the house for nicks/small cuts . humans and animals/birds . :)

kirislin - yes :)

skin stapler betadine purple spray (cetrigen) bandages scissors saline solution gastrolyte glucodin tabs carb soda .

:) best of luck :) I would like to see references. I would be very pleased if you asked to see proof of vacc/tire testing To see you confident in the face of barking and bouncing dogs To realise that you DO know local areas which may suit . To be impressed that you take notes ..have a file on each of my dogs , with photos , and any relevant vet /behaviour info . incl their local vet contact .. It would really help me if you looked professional - with all the gear needed ..bags/spare collars/muzzles/leashes- just in case.. That's all I can think of now .. ;)

LOL @ banshee basenjis! They do yodel :) They remind me of cats , too .. climbing etc .

Sounds as if a rescue dog who has been fostered might be the go ..... look HERE HERE HERE , or HERE

Don't mind the pups ..where are the PHOTOSSSS ???

oh yes !! photos are mandatory :)

puppies that age - should not be a problem ... :) be doing other stuff like playing .. have a few new toys that Bunny doesn't know ... throw them around introduce the boy to the yard first ...just by a couple of minutes .. ..and I bet they will just wear each other out ... :) don't envy you

I am waiting ..this is quicker tho ;)

kaleidosope thingies :)

STUNNING! What camera do you use Persephone? Thankyou :) For this, I used an old PENTAX K100D Super with a 200 mm lens that is around 35 yrs old!! I LOVE this lens , shame it's only a 200 . It is wonderful using it again .It's all metal, heavy as ... and photos with this camera/lens combo are all done manually . . minor Post processing in microsft Photo Gallery

good update :) thanks.

..and remember, Didi's calmness etc will most likely change/disappear with another dog living with her ;)
