Upstairs/Downstairs? Do you have provision for dog to toilet outdoors without you having to walk it outside? Are you happy to take dog to obedience classes or sports ?

and all different colours .... :) SO glad he's back home :)

It sounds like sheath and/or penis head infection probably ... vet visit is a good plan . he may need AB's , and also regular cleaning of the area with saline or something the vet prescribes.

she travels miles sitting there , surveying her kingdom as they 'do the rounds' :)

sure it's not for paperboys or junkmail deliverers?

Perhaps it is also a 'dogs here, leave it' message to burglars ?

Uh Uh ----- Toy Boy in the making :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: LOL!!

Lhok doing that collection from the vets would have been so hard ...... :hug:

Millie is such a great lab ambassador ..... she is (almost) perfect .... with kids & animals ..loves little lambs and will follow them around like a maremma . When her people are away , she sits in her chair on the verandah and keeps watch .... unfortunately a new pup has been introduced ..a male kelpie - working dog - and he tends to lead her astray a bit ;)

I LIKE! Especially the second one . I'm glad you're having fun and making beautiful images .. :) :)

:) Go Mac ... he sounds a much more comfortable boy now!

Nature's Gift canned ? My CATS , who normally won't touch canned 'muck' love the dog variety!!! I use it for sickies or oldies :) Then you could add some yoghurt etc

:) Glad you won that battle, anyway ;)

What does he look like ? Can you feel ribs? Is he built like a wombat? What dry food are you feeding? What fresh meat/bones does he get ? I would suggest 2 meals a day ... for a normal good weight healthy pup of that age ..but without seeing your dog's condition, or knowing the brands of food , it's purely guesswork as to quantities

Vet check is always a suggestion ... however, feeding two smaller meals could be tried - he may just be empty!

I found THIS link ..updated in April 2013, apparently .. and found this ... logging and all that it destroys is another issue , I know

thank you for that update!!! :) Hope he continues to improve , and that he can be with you soon :) Sounds as if he is getting very good care where he is .

Ok .... maybe now I know why I didn't ever take dogs when I went exploring ;)

have a look here .. http://www.weekendno...acks-melbourne/ http://parkweb.vic.g...og-Brochure.pdf and more : http://osp.com.au/?p=3224 http://headingforthehills.com/ http://bushwalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10773 I cannot understand though why someone would want to let dogs run offlead in bush areas where there are , hopefully, wildlife populations .... if you want to give your arms a rest .. and that's a good idea :) use a long line attached to your waist ! My Hamlet was almost always walked that way ..and it meant my hands were free for cameras, etc as well :)

Jellyblush ... we still need our Roo photos and updates ..even if you don't post anything else .... :)

Thinking of you and Mac he's in good hands, and will be kept peaceful and warm during his crisis . Hoping you get to kiss his funny eyebrows tomorrow morning .

good plan! :)
