That's what I understood as well .... :) I get much enjoyment from being around kids ..and have worked with them most of my working life :) I've done the nappies, the teething, the learning difficulties, the disturbed nights .. and also the honesty, the hugs, the new teeth , and the grasping of new ideas :) I also chose at 17 to not produce any of my own . Some folks I see who gaze at kids as some would gaze at a cockroach do have me wondering....

Welcome :) I presume you mean testicles ... ;) Have you spoken with his breeder? They should be able to help you .. and if the dog was bought as a stud .. he can't be shown etc . Did you feel them both when you bought him ? Did you vet say anything then, when he had his 'new puppy' check?

AAwwwww... :)

Photoshop needs to be bought ...but I think you can download it for a 30 day trial :) I have it and very rarely use it as I find it too confusing have a look here : There are free image editing programs which are good to start with though :) IMO Good crisp and detailed photos can not be made from photos which are of poor quality ..no matter what you use. The lens/exposure needs to capture the detail you need , first :) I use THIS a lot nowdays ..to crop/adjust brightness, etc. Hidden inside it are tools which can actually do some pretty useful stuff :)

ooohhh :) I like !

Excellent lenses.

:) Thank you for the update!! Hope the floods pass you by safely.

Sounds much like kennel cough... things which irritate his trachea will be collars (esp if he pulls) clod dry air, exertion... you can perhaps give him some benadryl cough syrup ..2/3 times a day ..probably a teaspoonful for a rottie size dog? ..ask the vet to be sure.

I find this sad .... that you would mistrust a dog because it was either unwell, or keeping someone who is very unwell/fragile, company.I would also feel sad for a dog ,who for 10 years has been sleeping with the family to be suddenly excluded and locked in a laundry. Nelsona.. I hope the vet/Doctor can shed some light on what's happening .. just support your dog , make walks a wonderful time for you both , and I wish you all the best.

I would love to see photos :) I like living vicariously :p

:) Enjoy your guest .

hope it works - it looked good! :)

Yep..whatever dog breed, it is ,IMO, easier to prevent the start of a problem, than try and correct it later, once it's become a habit. ;)

So sorry

Gotta be hopeful :) :)

he eats most things ! Tonight's effort was for a few crumbs of home made potato wedges ;)

A bottomless pit!! ;)

Hamlet collects for his own belly ;) he sees us with food..and up he trots with his 'collecting tin' ..and waits for us to drop something in it ....

Hi - a thorough vet check for your dog , maybe ? Sometimes when dogs do this with a particular`person ..the following, etc .. the person may be ill or very unhappy or something similar, and the dog picks up on this ... If you can afford it , I would suggest you get some help from a good recommended professional behaviourist in your area - someone who can visit, and watch your dog , and then suggest things to you and help you manage the situation. If you want to do this - then tell us which area you live in, and someone will recommend a person to contact . :) We can't tell you what is causing your dog's behaviour - we can guess only ...and our guesses may be incorrect ...

:) he used to use a butter tub .... now he uses this one!!

:) and of course they needed to be drugged and squished :p

Lovely!! :) She looks to have a happy,full, life !

Ahh :) we haven't ever had one so serious at that young age ...

Is it that long ago?
