persephone

Indigirl- so sorry ,after all your hard work. Condolences to his owner, as well. he was old, and tired, and he could only cope with so much . There will be another Goofy Golden Grin at the bridge now

The trick is to not 'tie him to something'!! the way to be in control is to have the leash either in your hand, or attached to your waist!!! Then- every move he makes is with your permission (or not) hard work for a couple of days , but well worth it. It improves communication, too

Poor little Charlie- tho the lucky things is that dogs cannot worry about such things

teenagers- wren't they wonderful?? Good to read that you have been taking him to lesons- however obedience training does NOT teach a dog YOUR house rules As the owners it is up to you entirely to educate your puppy. from day one, the rules should be instituted. Praise for being calm, ignoring food, not jumping... time out etc for infractions. If you have pup on leash with you indoors, he cannot make these mistakes- and you can teach him to stay by your side on his bed, to not bounce/jump, and to admire food, without eating it. have a read of this, too LINK and... you may be interested in this ebook - has lots of useful information in ! LINK

LOL,Ams- at least you DID come back for a look ;) thanks, Kody's mum folks like seeing such things behind glass/plastic

Amazing! What a tough old bird

oops- have you actually phoned? They may be out, or busy... I do hope you get your choice!

Which is why I have never bought a commercially made dog bed . They can chew up opshop blankets/quilts/mattresses instead ! (none of mine has ever wrecked their beds tho.) looks like he found a way to keep occupied, anyhow Was the bed originall placed in that spot? remembering he has been in a cosy crate- a piece of fabric shoved into a big empty space doesn't seem like a 'den'/bed ;).. so it may not get treated like a bed. Plus it did not smell of him or you....

I got my CARD READER from DS- it takes heaps of different cards!

he is doing VERY well!!!

he is a dog- being outside is fine - an extra hour should be no problem once he gets used to it:) I'm sure you spend heaps of 'quality' time with him!

he will be feeling a lot better soon probably a spider he was playing with

I would think so . make sure she has plenty of training session activity, etc before you leave, and that she has something safe on which to chew. Any reason you can't leave her in the backyard?

Hey, kirislin- I had a thought, and found THIS for you enjoy!

best of luck with it - hope it is 'just' a severe allergic reaction which responds quickly!

Possum corner- you posted while I was slow typing snap!

Buy yourself a card reader- solves all the problems! Just put the card in, connect the reader to your computer- and off you go !LINK Open with either the computer's own image editing program, or download something like picasa I don't use any of my camera's programs .

I guess your vet opens around 8:30? Just turn up and wait in the car!! poor boy. don't worry about th e antibiotic at this stage....

And the staff of the airlines should be educated

I was thinking if she has an immune prob- yeast, etc, then the ear that is floppy maybe more likely to harbour nasties- being a bit moister and darker/warmer than the other I don't know any- but would suggest a dermatologist- someone who knows what they're looking at , and someone who can steer you in the right direction!

My little sony cybershot has a leica lens I used to own a leica.........way back when............. lord it was a thing of beauty- almost antique, but was a wonderful thing. Was my grandpa's- he gave it to me for my 21st. Some low life stole it from our house- bet they tossed it when they saw it was old :laugh:

Still hanging on! Tough old bugga Hopefully you will get some sleep - and the morning will bring some better news

Sending strength to you all...

Hope you have some way of cooling him down..poor old fella
