Glad it's safe , but Sorry , what about quarantine ?

That's a brilliant update!

If it's happening regularly .. def. get it checked out . Perhaps video it for a chiro/vet to see ;)

*nods*

Looks like a bump on the noggin , from those photos .. poor girl.

I wouldn't - a maiden at that age .... too many risks .

...and you may have to train her to toilet on a long leash etc. Some dogs don't /won't at first. I suggest a long length of the plastic coated cable you can buy at mitre 10 type shops .. it is very light - almost unbreakable ..and if you get someone strong and knot- smart to attach a swivel snap hook to each end ..you have a very useful piece of equipment I use a couple of these setups ... I can clip one end to a belt/rope around my middle , too

Exactly! Which is why the OP may need to use physical control/restraint ... so puppy is not able to make mistakes/learn bad habits

That's what happens here - lanholders, power, government , other folks... the locks look very intimidating!

Hell yes! Another hell yes here! and another

toy dog - yes... a lot of folks think it's funny or cute

Hmm where did my post go? yes, I do think the pup should be either under physical control, or away from these kids ;) It will do two things. Save him from making mistakes, and being branded as a naughty dog ..and help teh kids see what things can be done. You might also want to do some activities found in this little ebook .. who knows, Th e kids may then educate their Dad ? LINK

I think, if you are having kids over who are not as dog savvy as yours - yes, Roy should be kept away.. or be with them on leash, with you. It will save him being branded as rough/naughty/whatever.. and will show the kids what a responsible owner can do to ensure safety ..there are activities for kids to learn how to play around dogs, etc - Who knows the neighbour's kids may then educate Dad ;) LINK

Give it a thrashing .

If I'm not in control of my dog, and it jumps on.annoys someone - then if they push /hit the dog .. it's my fault. ;) I can ask people to not pat/discipline my dog while it's on leash or under my control ..but if I'm not looking .. then I need to acccept that something I don't approve of may happen. My problem.

CAT WORLD FORUM - they may be what you're looking for. kitten should be vet checked ..and I'm not sure of the legalities of keeping a stray kitten . I do think kitten should be in a crate though- esp. if it's a feral.

That IS a good update !! tell her rest and enjoy being worried over :p

Slightly offtopic , sorry ... perhaps that's the reason he was humping... he was showing just how dominant he was. ....

I don't class them as 'fluffies' ;) Plus they have longer legs than a little bichon . Yes- they can be clipped to suit

That's what i would do

Hope your girl is Ok facial /head swelling can be dangerous sometimes .. if swelling is inside the throat as well.. and can be a big problem ! Ask your vet this question, I think .. that way you get advice pertinent to your dog ...and that you know is safe . bees are a common cause of this .. the dog sniffs them, or tries to catch them .. and Bzzt!

Oh - I didn't think of that.

I'm glad at least the farmer was asking people... a lot just shoot the dogs and dump the bodies ....

here too, sometimes . I have satellite .. and it varies .
