Oh..love how Boyd went 'black tie' for part of the occasion

40!! That's a pretty grand age ... he wears it well not sure how I feel about hannah .... guess I'll just worry along with everyone else - that party certainly was a success :D One of those iceblocks, a few friends and a day in which to enjoy it ...Hmmmmm... sounds an idea ! ;) maybe I'll design a lunch based on a chimp party

he's pretty cute

Awww...now that's pretty cute Welcome, Bolt !!

What beautiful tribute ...

@Caitlin888 Oh dear ... it's always tricky with feet .. some dogs are a bit precious and need extra work so they will accept foot and toe handling happily ... and most dogs will lick to remove any moisture or cream etc ...so it's catch 22 ! I hope the vet ( or a different one) can help you find something suitable and less stressful for everyone ;)

well... sort of a photo ;)

Salukis and big skies go well together

A Sunday special ... one of our Willywags has actually nested where easily seen ! ( hope that doesn't mean feral cats )

I can't really help ... have never used one ! maybe look for Susan Garrett Crate Games ? A crate can also be used at ANY TIME as the dog's bed/safe place /place where the really good treats are given ..so that being there is a nice thing anyhow . it is not a punishment. make sure the crate is in a good spot (for the DOG) ;) ...is large enough ...cool in Summer This may also help ..I discovered it the other day CLICK HERE .

He doesn't often show much emotion.... he could be a Storm Trooper !!

THIS came up on my FB page ... may give you some ideas ?

@Caitlin888 how are things with the feet now ?

that does seem a lot per week .. that's about 3% of his bodyweight . I guess though , with his health being poor ...

he is certainly different ..a bit like me ..operates mostly in slow motion ;) One day I shall bath him & get a photo before he turns orange/yellow again ...but it happens so very quickly ...being mostly outdoors in sand .... Thanks

Trying to get a decent shot. Response speed to my weird noises is amazing !! Password is pudden

BREATHE !!!

ohhh..Seven .. you clever thing They are just gorgeous !!

Are you normally able to hold/examine his feet and toes? is it both feet the same ? Can you check where he was to get dirty ? was he digging ? could he have a splinter , or grass seed or prickle stuck ? Are any of his nails split or broken?

Don't know ..may be more parts involved I do know he ate a seed and was a very sick boy for a few days ! Today's liver tests gave a very good result !!

That does sound better

Great shot, P C !! They look lovely with their shaggy coats

maybe phone your vet ?

like many plants in our gardens ..these seeds can be picked up /played with/swallowed by inquisitive pups/dogs. A pup belonging to friends has just been released from hospital after a scare involving these seeds ,and liver damage he was a very sick young man indeed!! Still not in the clear - but at least he's home .

Love the crested pigeon youngster in its decision -making .....waiting for 'just the right time' ..or something
