  1. Just be aware that a relatively closed in canvas shelter may get VERY hot . our dogs, being workers(sheepdogs) spend a lot of hours on the back of the 4WD!! They are chained on short, well swivelled chains ..and there are often 6 of them . They have either wool or matting on which to stand ..and a shade cloth canopy in Summer. I hate seeing dogs on bare metal trays... on chains long enough to slip over the edge.. and in vehicles parked in the sun We have only ever had one mishap/injury in many many years .. ,about 35 years ago,something came undone ..and it ended very badly, with a dog dying. ETA we never take our dogs to town like that , so there are no problems associated with traffic/the public.
  2. BOKEH bokeh bokeh there is an excellent discussion on bokeh HERE, on flickr
  3. ..he could also be eating poo of some sort .. or have a chronic throat infection.... or .. Ask your vet next time

  6. Just those words tell me that you have never actually felt an ecollar on yourself. And that you know nothing about trainign with a remote trainer. Yup. X2
  7. I love this guy's writings- they always bring a smile - makes me remember folks who , after many years in Australia still spoke that way!
  8. :dancingelephant: :happydance:
  9. Throwing up and wetting the bed... my very first thought was a seizure ... probably way off mark... but just seems an odd pair of happenings...unless he woke up nauseous, threw up, then just HAD to pee as he was wide awake? Poor boy.
  10. Maybe because the organisation has a sponsor who manufactures pet food?
  11. She eats a 1/4 bowl of what ? If you have only had her two weeks , then perhaps she is only used to eating what her previous owner fed her? if she has lost a lot of weight in 2 weeks- perhaps thee is something wrong. What did the vet say?
  12. Oh That is so sad ... the babies will possibly be lost thru incorrect handling .. Prayers that these two are home again soon!
  13. Dab of iodine ..and stop him from licking it
  14. has she always been like it - even as a pup? has she had her mouth/teeth checked by a vet? What is she generally like temperament wise? What exercise does she do each day? What is she currently being fed,and what have you tried so far?
  15. admittedly - but they are also a lot easier to handle in some respects and have not the weight behind them if there is a collision of sorts. Basically - get whichever dog suits the circumstance I wasn't thinking chi or pom or silky or JRT..... my 'small' is probably your medium !
  16. I'm sure there are plenty of little older dogs out there looking for a knee on which to sit, and someone to drop then biscuit crumbs!
  17. Oh, gosh- just look at her now! She has grown up!! Thanks for the updates ... :D
