Awwww... Lovely!!!

he certainly is "handsome hunk hank " :)

Jules .. how are you ? I hope you are all doing OK .

:laugh: Oh, Dear :D

T ( interesting choice of word) Hmmmm... ..I hardly call that 'data based evidence' ...unless the evidence is a lack of bite scars... (sorry, I HAD to ) I am very sorry the people lost their dog in that fashion ..

police went to someone's house..a dog died ... that's really all we have as fact .. so the Wotif personage, not being present , can not add anything verifiable ;)

cruel, IMO would have been a tazer, and or/capsicum spray, or a bullet or two in a non lethal spot causing much pain & confusion .... this seemed to be an instant death ....a 'humane' end, as some would say ...

Glad it's seeming to help :) - altho cooking the frames (bones) seems unnecessary to me ..any reason she cannot eat it raw, or have I missed something?

We switch on lights outside ... then everyone waits .... just in case we're on the way .. and often that's enough to break the mood . I let them howl at dark if their boss isn't home ... A whistle may help... it certainly breaks the howl pretty well immediately... whether it picks up again .. depends, I guess . Glad I don't have near neighbours ..I quite enjoy a big group howl ;)

All the questions above , plus: is this in much the same place everytime? Has anything changed recently in the area? Does he have any new collars etc on? Is he moving freely and happily when playing at home ?

Hope you&Michael are doing OK ...it will be so hard for you both ....

Police also lie their heads off - until they realise the incident was recorded. Fixed that for you. Hardly. In future please refrain from changing my quotes. I'd hate for someone to think I actually did say that and that is precisely the impression your editing conveys. Incident recording keeps everyone honest. If that's your point, make it for yourself. Police are people by the way, regardless of what you think. I'm sure everyone here would be intelligent enough to go back to your actual quote. ;) Not the point. Agreed! Changing someone's words, and then posting as though it is an actual quote .... :(

Oh.. are you using vet prescribed animal dose cranberry ? Sorry to question if you are I just break open human cranberry capsules and use the powder ;)

I am wondering how much cranberry you are using? She only needs a little bit - you could hardly see it . Even my cat will eat it in mince ..he weighs 12 kg ..and gets a small pinch . Are your vets specialist vets ? It might be time to try the The Companion Animal Health Centre ? being uni based..it has everything under one roof ..and different people to ask .

I am hoping that he was taken home by someone ..... and is being cared for .....

:) A thing you might feel is useful is to have her with you on leash ... that way she is still included, and has interesting things ,other than stitches/itchy bits where she was clipped... to occupy her .

People also lie their heads off - until they realise the incident was recorded. I was being kind :p yes. they do.

I also think shoulder cams are a brilliant idea .... so much can happen in a short time ..and people remember things differently .

entry wounds can be very small and easily covered by a skin fold/hair ruff....they are only the size of the projectile , usually . The exit wound would be a bit larger, and probably messier . If there was one. With a police round, its not likely. it was said the blood was on the driveway..and in a photo I saw none coming from orifices, or the part of teh neck I could see , so I thought of an exit ...you may be right though...

he's a lucky boy to be at home , where you can love him ,and the others can see him and say their goodbyes afterwards . Take good care of yourselves , you two ....

I've only know 2 Newfs well- one was placed as a youngster as a live in therapy dog for kids suffering cerebal palsy .. where he was perfect :) The other was also a gorgeous dog - family pet , active & had a very competent owner . She would seriously bail people up at the front door - police or no ;)

he will be reasonably content I think , poor little fella ..he will know he's home , and he can probably smell/feel Renae there .... but part of him is getting ready for a journey , and so that's what he'll be concentrating on right now ...
