and a better photo .... names at present : blue eyed beast - DAGS (Danish :Dog) dark merle - Seal )muscly /lithe/short dense coat /wriggly

May I introduce DOL to the two Sons Of PUDDEN names are not yet set in stone ... Mum Bo is doing so very well ..and the babies are very active, vocal and bright . Started chewing on bones today . The Boss is disappointed they weren't girls ...but is so pleased to show me how they can S I T ..and how well they respond when he picks them up/dangles them /rolls them around..... The suitcase bed proved invaluable when they were tiny..as it could be easily shifted to where it was convenient ..Bo didn't mind ...as long as she was near me/us . Not quite sure how she will re-adjust to being an outside working dog with different rules again She was such a good girl inside ( oh yes ..The Boss's babies spent their first 4 wks indoors) Bo adjusted to using puppy pads at night ...slept with The boss during thunderstorms..and became known as 'our brown cat' as she could get onto tables/desks/benches as lightly as a cat if there was food scraps to be had. So . Due to life throwing some serious shite our way at present ...this may need to be THE update for a little while (or not ;) )

OH MY !!!! THat was night mare worthy indeed I am so glad everyone survived ( well ... apart from your sanity ) ;)

THat sounds a good thing I hope they are happy with each other and can settle well together

Bangs on the door ........ ANYONE HOME ?????????????? Ah well ..here are a few photos SMOKE Waiting for rain.... At the end of the Rainbow ......

I've not heard of using Panacur , so can't help ..sorry . perhaps phone a vet, or pup's breeder?

The vet who diagnosed GIARDIA ..what treatment did they prescribe?

Not sure why you are not after pain relief for this old girl ...if she were mine , I would be after a drug which was both easy to administer, fast acting , and effective . These days there are good choices , and vets who care .

I agree that type /colour marking is a common one ...and littermates can look VERY different from each other - colour markings are no identifier ;)

best of luck with the surgery ..thinking of you .I agree with DDD .

I didn't mean to scare you APOLOGIES before you DO take up drinking full time ... we live in the middle of nowhere .. in the proper 'outback' ... and because we provide water for stock/pets , have a rodent population ( almost always wherever there is human habitation) , snakes find it a better spot than out in the blazing sand ! Our nearest town is almost 100km away ..if that helps you figure things out , OK ? losing a dog to snakebite is devastating We have multiple dogs at any one time Char, they are working sheepdogs most of them enjoy retirement into their teens We see snakes regularly here - they are part of our life ..like kangaroos, echidnas and other wildlife . Snakes out in THEIR territory are magic . in OUR territory ..well ...unwelcome... the number of dog deaths by snakebite ? probably unknown ...as many would be dogs living remotely on sheep/cattle stations, or camps etc . Yes it happens ..but so do incidents with traffic .... MOST definitely !! , Just fill their time with good stuff so they concentrate on that When I lived in the City..I was always worrying about unlocked gates/traffic/nasty neighbours... it was much more stressful .

They are pretty chookies hope they do well for you . at the minute, we have wrens everywhere , so , altho we have seen the odd feral cat - perhaps bunnies are keeping them happy ! it is so lovely having wrens around to act as pest controllers Roos have demolished my roses (oh, and a certain pet goat ) there are only a couple of old climbers, and a few behind bars with any flowers.

they can . I have lived in this old house..in the bush , for 60 yrs . we have had snakes inside 4 times ...and , touch wood, no fires. not a bad average .... ;) we have certainly lost dogs & other animals to snakebite/accident outside more times than that

this may be of help Sounds as if things are heading in the right direction well done !. may I just side track ..THIS article has info which should be of interest on all things aussie dane we really do need photos of this girl , too Bragging is allowed!! ;) and , unless you catch her actually urinating ...it will mean absolutely nothing . Actually ..it will still mean not a lot ....and she has no understanding of what BAD is . quietly removing her to the outside and praising her for any drops of urine produced THERE ..that will mean more to her

The wrens have fledglings to feed ...and yesterday there were'flying ants' good combination !

lovely, possum corner!! that rose is gorgeous!..Scented ?

Info here if you click .

ohhh...what a lovely boy you are doing good things ktB !

Hi My advice is to get this little dog checked out by a good vet behaviourist , to find out about this behaviour . It all sounds extreme . Did you contact the breeder at all when you started to notice things ? have you sought help from vets/trainers?

Thanks ...if your pup hasn't been out to get dirty - he shouldn't need bathing ;) Dogs don't sweat - so don't have a problem like humans . How often do you bathe him ? What colour is he ?

hi what is pld? Have you spoken with the breeder about this problem ? Do any others in the litter have problems? How long have you had Frankie? Was the breeder feeding different food ? What have you bathed him in ? What colour is Frankie? What flea/tick control products have you used? What sort of bedding does Frankie sleep on ..and whereabouts in the house? That may give us something to work on

thinking of you

gorgeous little bubs

That's fantastic news

how was her first night, @Teebs ?
