persephone

She is now learning to pee inside- and in her crate . Not ideal .

I wondered that as well

My 'nanny dog' was a farm bred ACD ...he would guard me from even my grandparents , and as I grew, I could do anything to him - he never minded . He saved me from a snake twice...I remember playing with him, and doing things I would cringe at if I saw a kid doing. Mum told him to look after me, and he did .

I figured it was the middle of the night ...everyone would be sleeping ? maybe not - maybe they were doing something with the baby .... you're right...it may not have been that scenario.

Thinking..... how did dog have free access to baby during the night ? That in itself is asking for accidents to happen . Babies smell/they make odd noises to capture a dog's interest - they wriggle .... *sigh* Poor little mite . the only lesson here is not to allow dogs access to unsupervised babies.

LOVE this story LINK excerpt

Just awful Those parents will be in three kinds of hell, and I really feel for the first responders in this one . edit : I agree with SteveK9Pro.

This so sad and mad SO much money!!!!! For an unknown. Eek.

I agree- that is just asking for a fear-induced snap!

An abscess and that Kennel Cough ...glad that's all behind him! he's done really well .

Can you even just do ONE ? even if it takes a month...they'll all get done in time to do them again ..... Perhaps there is a dog acupuncurist vet somewhere who may be able to help ? Poor old lad ....:(

I like frenchies with faces....nearly owned one several decades ago.......

"Cobby" means that the dog is thickset/short bodied ..looks 'chunky' Your boy looks fine/longer legged .

that is WAY too much poo! Dogs should be absorbing their food ..not eating food that ends up as waste

Conformation is the structure and appearance of a dog- every breed has its own desired conformation dachshunds for example have long backs . A shorter backed, longer legged dachshund would have poor conformation .

To me he looks lovely - but I like lean dogs . I agree with the others - 4 poos a day means that something is going thru him - most likely the kibble . Feed fattier bits of meat, and less kibble, and see how you go

they are looking fantastic - but it's Sapphos' eyes that get me .... *sigh* Wonderful to see them stretched out ..those special muscles doing their 'thing'. Thanks for the update!

safe from the heating we use indoors? fires, etc ?

just good at getting attention ;) Even from The Boss! Who lets Clive jump up on him while he's eating breakfast!!!!!

Thank you for coming back with an update Youare certainly working at changing things! I think we need a photo of the 'good' henry ;)

So Sorry, and although it was scary for you, for Missy it was just you and her ...and she was surrounded by your scent and presence and love , and it was good .It was her time, and the place was with you.

Same here. It's not for everyone.

Hmm...at the vets I worked for it happened a bit - and on a few occasions we sent the owners out. The dogs were becoming so anxious and upset because the owners were beside themselves, that the process was turning into a bad memory for the owner, and a difficult procedure for us. Once the owner was gone, and with a staff member cuddling the dog, everything was relaxed and easy - no struggling or anxiety anymore ..nothing to feed off, so they just settled. I have also stood in for friends who couldn't bear it ..and the dogs were fine with me there- just another vet visit .... ho hum ....

an important job, too! . My condolences to you too, Mark.... I'm glad Sasha and Kira will now be together playing forever .
