yes..as long as the actual nail stays on, but has been breached .. the cavity under it is the perfect humidicrib for masses of bacteria .. nasty

he is very cute :) I wouldn;t worry .. there has to be some blood as teeth wriggle/fall out :) As long as he is eating well , playing tug etc .. all appears to be happening as it should :) Obviously if there is blood pouring out ..or he is in a lot of pain , then there could be a problem .. and a vet should be contacted ...but your boy sounds as if he is normal at present:)

Most of mine these days are edited a bit .. mostly some sharpening and adjusting light... a lot are also cropped.

:) must be a club bursting with talent then! :p

some more info :) LINK

It's an interesting effect ..long exposures ..some flash used ..... :)

Old Habits Die Hard :)

Aren't they great? Something different, and unique .

May I steer you in the direction of one of my fave Adelaide based architect/photographers ..who enjoys capturing the urban landscape a bit differently (like at 3 am ) :) WAYNE GRIVELL... a set on flickr.

:) yep..once that hard nail comes away..it's smooth sailing. Good news!

out with the spy camera ;)

:D Great!!

yes, take photos of pup/collar/fence before you contact the RSPCA ..so then they actually have proof..and not just a 'neighbour thing' .... it is frustrating ..but to avoid having ongoing neighbour probs ..perhaps the 'official' route may be best ..with lots of proof and a calm head ..

So ..the pup doesn't get thru the fence, but can approach it?What I've bolded may not be happening. Sounds fine to me. 6 weeks is too young ..but they have it now..so whingeing won't help.IMO those collars may not be ideal for baby pups ..but I have not much experience. ..and that is OK? :( If puppy was distressed /uncomfortable/crying ..trying to escape the collar - then I may have considered it ..but probably, if pup was obviously so distressed, I would have phoned someone ..like RSPCA for advice. Pup will of course stay near the fence..you talk to it, and have handled it ..and illegally removed its collar. I am just glad pup didn't escape and get into trouble while the collar was off. Maybe, to stop pup doing things to warrant this action from owners ..which actually shows they care a lot about what happens perhaps you could put up a barrier/second fence on your side ? A visual barrier preferably ..so there is NO chance pup will get thru ..or get hurt.

Have you checked in local papers ..or on gumtree/trading post? A lot of folks sell dog/cat runs/kennels..or big roofed aviaries which can be adapted :)

thoughts and prayers .. Little Jed..you were not meant to live here on earth .. enjoy running strong and healthy in that land over the bridge.

:) Lovely lavender, and pansy :)

Just wondering ........

Oh Thinking of you , and the poor little fella ..

Which repellant is it ? a dog -specific one? I find some of our dogs react to insect repellant sometimes ( have to use it when mozzies are in plague proportions here )

I do this often ..esp when waiting in a vehicle..dogs are busting to get out ..so we do the yawning thing , and just relax .... (with cats . as a calmer.....try a really slow closing of both eyes a few times ) :)

Hope all goes well from here!!
