with some of these stories I am reminded just how strong and secure a 'false joint' can be .. formed by muscles closing in and supporting things. keep us posted on the handsome Cooper :)

P L .. any queries on your Pom's appearance, etc will probably be best suited to THIS THREAD :)

.. It could be a flea product, or a shampoo , or .... who knows. I too, advise allergy testing , so you know exactly what the problem is , and so manage it :)

..and I bet she begs for dinner!! Glad she's OK. Now.... for a kiddie proof lock on the freezer :p

ohh, so sorry indigirl .. R I P Chilli ... you were loved so much, you were given the gift of peace .

Hope everything went ok at the vets .....

where does dog travel, and how is dog contained? I would suggest ginger tablets , or glace ginger pieces ....no sedation or anything :)

That is a BIG update :)

OH Dear It's these times when we are both angry and devastated that our dogs have such a limited span of time with us. The fact you are questioning , tells me that you have 'almost' made a decision.... Your poor boy is tired, and he has been battling these last weeks .... I always look at what quality of life an old/ill dog has ..and will treatment bring better quality of life- or yet another struggle ? If you bring him home , will he , and YOU be relaxed and happy ? Will he be guaranteed no pain ? Will you be able to look at him without feeling guilty and so , so sad? It is a horrible time - and from my experience , it is the WORST time .. . Once an old/ill pet has been given its wings , and is finally out of reach of all pain and sadness ... there is, for me, amongst the loss and grief, a feeling that I have done what is right - I have sent my pet on its way before life is 24 hrs of pain & confusion . I will never knowingly let a pet of mine get to the stage of being so ill as to not still enjoy food , or a sleep in the sun ..I prefer to have the memory of them enjoying something , still :) I can not tell you what decision to make - only think of how your boy is feeling .... do you think he would want to fight on ..? Thinking of you , and wishing you strength .

she does :)

How about straight out of camera? NO editing . We can play around with getting results , both accurate and 'interesting' by adjusting composition? speed/ISO, focus , etc ? Anyone game? :)

fingers crossed that it is 'only' a fatty lump.....

Yes, and yes :)

wrap lots of treats in newspaper ..put them all in a cardboard box ...then in another .. and let him rip!! :)

here is mine from today ... he would not let me get a front on shot .... so this is all I got :) A jumping spider I think..quite small,on part of a Strelitzia flower.

ooohhh..The B/W is very eye catching :) You really will enjoy going into the big tropical house !! So much greenery :)

I am so glad he is feeling better - just keep things sedentary for a while , to let whatever it was heal /rest ..and hopefully , it won't recur. Mind you ,what you are seeing may well be the effect of the anti inflammatories ... . fingers crossed!!

I have to keep coming back back to that smiley one ... there's just something about a baby smile :) :)

yep LOL. Yeah, yeah .. I don't have much , I know :p

he is just beautiful!! his eyes look terrific, and there are cute little bubbles at the corners of his mouth ! :D Awwwwww. I love the third smiley one :) :) The first one's kinda cute too :) To me the one where he has the football looks as if he's about to cry ...his face is just gorgeous ... but not being a football fan the props do nothing for me Obviously dad is a big Caarlton fan, so he will just love it! I find that orange seat distracting, unfortunately .. sorry, you did ask ......
