Mr Huxley is a smart and capable boy!! :D That's great news

How wonderful ..she was meant to be there for you two :)

Seems a shiny new toy is in the works! have fun!!! :D

baby bones & organs can be damaged easily ... maybe phone a vet clinic & ask ? Hope all is well.

M U P , last year, then 4 mth old 'Possum' ran off into the unknown during a thunderstorm .We drove & walked & called .... and decided she'd died, or was still running, ... then exactly 48 hrs later ..I was outside feeding dogs ,when I felt a paw on my leg .... and there she was!!! Skinny and very thirsty .. but she's never run away again. So, there is hope for your boy to be trying to find his way back now the adrenaline's worn off..

..I weigh it all up.... ( but everyones' scales are different) Quality of life ... Amount of pain Pain free time Limitations Things to be enjoyed without pain V My need to keep animal with me My stress levels watching animal struggle My wish for animal to be painfree My ability to care for animal as it ideally should be .

That is a very familiar occurrence :) :)

if he were mine , he would have had his wings to fly without pain . As he is not mine , all I can do is send thoughts of strength and love ....at very stressful time.

My guess is he's off in the scrub somewhere .....

....Mr Huxley will hopefully be feeling better now it's daylight , and I hope you see him soon.

She's certainly not 'old' .. but may well have soreness /arthritis or something ... Hope it's something simple .

:) Lots of folks here have very cool new cameras and do a fantastic job :) What do you want to do with your photos? print/sell/enjoy/store away for memories? I have an even older canon 350 D..it takes some nice shots still :) Not sure about the 400 , so had a look on FLICKR, HERE There are some VERY nice shots there :D Guess if you want shiny new, and can afford it - go ahead :)

So Sorry He may well be hiding somewhere until things quiet down ..... Hope you find him soon .

My aunt's cairn was mostly an outdoor dog (slept indoors) ..in Adelaide .. she had full coat most of the time .... Adelaide has very hot Summers!!

It will help you and your pup get to communicate better ..but whether it will stop any aggression, either pro active or reactive I can not say . her temperament/breeding will have a lot of her instincts in place :) The more you two work together , and experience life ,gain confidence and learn how be calm around other dogs (ESPECIALLY YOU, THE OWNER) learn all about dog body language , the more you will be able to recognise what she is thinking, and ,hopefully be able to act appropriately. have you trained a puppy before ? there is some good reading material here :) CLICK HERE

Hello - If the thought of dog aggression is such a worry ..perhaps another breed may have been more suitable ? You are doing the right thing by starting puppy school, and doing lots of socialisation The other thing to look at is your girl's pedigree/close family . Are they show dogs? Are they friendly and placid? Did the dogs you saw at the breeders look settled and quiet around other dogs? There are some links to threads on here which may give you some info ... LINK LINK LINK

Have they considered a Cairn Terrier ? My elderly(not really dog-savvy) Aunt had one for 12 years ... and she was just wonderful ..ended up spending the last half of her life in a tiny unit/yard ..but with no complaint . She was such a cheery and companionable girl :)

That would have been scary for all involved!! Police just never know what is behind the fence/door .....

there are doggy probiotics .. I tend to use human ones here... when introducing new things ..small quantities for a few days , and gradually increase , perhaps?

try to not chop & change ? maybe try him on a probiotic as well .... What treats does he get ? Don't forget them ...or the odd bit of human food ....

:) Glad she's home and more comfortable.

Yes! Not really sure why people buy them in the first place - same goes for cheap imported lollies/treats for humans . I keep well away!

Ohhh, Jelly .. do whatever it takes to support yourself ....grieve , remember, curse the universe , and wrap all those sweet memories in a safe place in your heart ..

LIKE ! :)

Glad she has you to care for her , and hope she feels better soon!
