I don't 'apologise' to my dogs if they happen to be in the way of my feet/walking stick/chair ....and yes, I believe dogs easily sense changes in human emotions, etc .They are very good at reading body language, and working out what different voice tones/scents we produce mean. Dogs make excellent service dogs /alert dogs because they can sense when things are about to change , for example someone who suffers from panic attacks..or epilepsy, or very unstable blood sugar levels .Trained dogs are terrific at reading the human body :)

adobe website ..and they usually have a free trial :) Must admit to not using either much these days ..basic stuff I use picasa ..or more often,photoscape ..a free program

ears pricked ..and a 5 second head lift ..then back to sleep :)

That is very sad..but I hope they are now both at peace and happy together somewhere over the bridge.

and photos of her gorgeous smile :) She may be bent & broken... but she is a happy girl now .

KC is spread by droplets from nose/mouth during coughing, etc ... so Coco has probably been exposed already . It can last up to 3 weeks .. so , if you need to keep them seperate,your poor dogs will not be happy being outside all that time It is a virus .. like tracheitis in humans ..so avoid walking on collars which press on their throats - as it may make them cough more . I agree with Kirty's post ,and also recommend seeing a different vet and getting a good check .

She is SO beautiful !!

They both could indeed have kennel cough.... not all dogs cough all the time ..and kennel cough can be very much like a dry reach, with froth.... The constipation is a worry - hopefully the pumpkin will help , and I hope your vet gives you some answers tomorrow.

Aaaawwww..she looks so happy , and much healthier! You have done a great job!

I agree with this .... jane harper is a name mentioned on here a lot for folks in QLD ... perhaps contact her and ask her help?

I hope you have found a vet who will help her ..I think it sounds as if she needs to be checked over properly ....not diagnosed over the phone .Depending on the product, it could be a very nasty thing to have in a gut... Hopefully she will be OK soon.

my cats do not jump on tables or benches.. . Oh- I lie ... if I'm outside at night, Mr/W will sit on the draining board and look out the kitchen window ...:). I would be most unhappy if I had cats/dogs who did that ..... food stealing has happened a few times, but not many.(it is usually a cooling cake,or dog's meat left on sink) I can be eating something in the lounge..get up, leave a plate on the arm of a chair/couch ..and it will all still be there when I come back :) The grey plastic snap traps make a good noise, and won't hurt a dog ...

Poor Grumpy

That is a sad thing indeed, to lose her at that age ..

:) We have had a few like that , too.

Love the dogs grazing pics :)

but it doesn't stop the urge/action !!

A couple of ours pick their own tomatoes ..(but I wish they would NOT just chew off the halves poking thru the fence ..)

I do realise about grapes :) Our dogs love them ... and have always eaten them,but for a couple of years I haven't let them pick their own like they used to.

the hoons may do this, and consider their dogs very expendable .. and I hate seeing it . That's how I got my Kieran .. he was dumped in the scrub by poachers , as he was too timid (he was 8 weeks old..we found out the story later on thru the grapevine )but anyone who is serious about hunting feral- pest -in plague proportion- pigs needs to have bomb proof , responsive dogs. They need dogs who are safe around stock and wildlife , as they hunt in areas where permission is required for access, and property owners/managers are not going to grant permission to idiots with uncontrollable dogs. There are government owned areas near me ..and private properties where firearms are not allowed , so the hunter goes in with dogs and knives . His dogs are healthy, and wear good protection, gps trackers and flashing lights for night time .

Cute babies - well caught :)

Haven't housetrained a pup for ages ... but my pups get used to being outside in the rain..walking or toileting ... it's just something they have to do ..no excuses :p

:) My favourite dog-human ! Nice pics !
