They are in perfect condition Dingoes , AFAIK will not pull down a full grown cow/donkey ..but will take newborns, or the sick or old .they eat lots of small mammals/ground nesting birds, reptiles etc... as well as roos/young emus ...rabbits.

yep That's what it does.

Puppies NEED to run, bark, growl... Dogs are vocal creatures....and this need will stay with them for some time. having two in an apartment would not be my choice, as it could be very restrictive for them make sure they can have their run/play time together - it is essential for development. Talk with the neighbours...perhaps there are times during the day/evening when noise can be enjoyed

Breathe!! Stop googling, and make a vet appointment . Pups/dogs get things, just like human kids... sore throats. a cough, the odd pimple, rashes, tummy upsets....

It is possibly Kennel Cough .. and unrelated to teh pimple .. but a vet visit is the only way to tell

Yes, it looks as if it is the chemical you need to use - not just the Yucca.

(my bolded bit )

So Sorry - she must have been a dear old soul

Not really ... "saying hello" may not be as innocent as it appears to us. It depends on body language ,which is so subtle, often us humans cannot notice! Dog communication can be as simple as a sideways eye flick upon approach !

except that the stinging nettle has tiny hollow hairs and a toxin , causing pain/burning...not really an allergic response . The wandering dew leaves do NOT have such things... (afaik)

Why? was a bacterial infection diagnosed? Giving antibiotics 'just in case' is probably not a wise decision, given how bacteria are becoming resistant . Your next step would be to consult a dermatologist , I think. Being that the rash is on teh relatively less haired parts of the body, I would strongly suspect an allergic reaction... could be pollen or grass, or fungal spores ... all sorts of things can be allergens! problems with skin are often only able to be treated after a long process of exclusions/tests ... best of luck - but give you & your dog the best chance of a speedy diagnosis by seeing a derm.

Good aphid closeup!!

Aahh.. apologies. It does make things very hard , with no one to actually observe and implement strategies

yes, I will give you advice She could well have missed critical stages in puppy hood where important things like toileting habits, and behaviour around other dogs , are normally learned. Ask folks on here to recommend a very experienced professional in your area,who can assess your dog, and work with you to manage her problems ;)

What a fun shot!!

buckle collar & lead. BUT The person on the handle end of the lead is THE most important training aid NOTHING will work safely and effectively if you do not know how to use it ...

I have used, with success, homeopathy for cats, dogs, myself .. I would not use homeopathy tho for prevention of heartworm/paralysis ticks.

I am sorry you lost your old girl like that If you get another cat ..please also build a secure, dog/cat proof enclosure ...so the cat is NEVER in danger from roaming toms, or dogs at your house/in your yard.

but they don't stay COLD .... like a wrapped icebrick. I have had litters here do very well outdoors in 40 degrees ..with an ice brick or two always available have photos somewhere!

Sorry, but having problems coping with one pup's minor chewing/training is NOT at all a good reason for getting another pup. learn from this pup.... research, practice, practice, research .Discipline YOURSELVES to puppy proof the house, learn all you can do about how dogs think/learn/develop and learn to think DOG ..they do not see life as we do. Leaving thongs out as a 'test' ?Yep. Now puppy KNOWS that thongs are great to chew puppies do fret if their pack is gone - especially if they have been given lots of freedoms and attention when they first came to their owners.....one day all that sweet talk/cuddling/closeness/guidance is gone...and if a pup has not been taught to be a bit independent ...then they may take a while to learn it . Chewing is how pups learn about their world!! it is an essential part of growing up. puppies NEED to chew bones,toys,dirt,grass...all sorts of tastes/textures. It is how they learn about what is in their environment. babies can do exactly the same using sensitive fingers/toes (and their mouths). Puppies only have mouths .

Up&over!!

Ice bricks in sox ... or the 2 litre juice bottle full of water & frozen ..also with an 'explorer sock pulled up over them

aahh that makes sense now. A lesson learnt the hard way, and paid for dearly.

After reading your reply , my gut feeling would be to give her her wings- it is a decision hard to make, and painful to carry out , I know . However, she is not free to enjoy life to the full ... you are continually on edge and worrying , and if you have the other dog who is biddable, social and settled, then he is also being subjected to all sorts of 'bad' vibes. To obtain the services/advice of a good trainer, and to apply that advice will not be a miracle cure, as you are aware ..and will require a lot of time & effort from you. Chaining her may increase her frustration and drive , and cause more problems I do not envy you your position, and hope whatever you decide brings you peace ,and knowledge that you did the responsible thing.

Good post, dancinbcs.
