sounds good!

Oh- can we see photos of this lovely boy doing his rain dance ?
-
28 is definitely not COLD . he probably appreciates the rain, because he cools down
-
Agreed- being wet ,by itself will not make your dog sick. provided he has a kennel or there is a verandah/porch/shed that he can use if he wants.. running in the rain is fine!

Osteoarthritis & Loss Of Bladder Control ?
persephone replied to Sharna3's topic in Health / Nutrition / Grooming
I think you have been shown the way to go - he is tired and you will be saving him a struggle . yes, it is very sad...but so good that you can have him at home with you , somewhere he loves and is comfortable for you all... -
Do they hve CCTV footage which might show the crate's position?That is so sad if it is what happened. Surely people would have seen such a tiny puppy out in the sun??
-
Pups chew/eat grass - don't panic. Also provide him with good edible bones, so he does not become fixated on the grass Also- as soon as practicable- change those soft toys full of stuffing to something a bit more solid-it only takes a minute to rip the covers and eat stuffing Maybe look at the turbochook toy, from Aussiedog toys Not cheap- but very sturdy!!

That's not far, really-- what is the supposed cause of her dehydration?

Isn't "Rex" a stunner!!
-
He is just lovely, sticks! *wonders how long those toys will be intact!*
-
So do I!! I cringe whenever I hear of it, being that I was working at the facility which bred the first ones... all those years ago..and was looking after them.. and thinking how terrific a job we were doing
-
Is it really a big deal in the scheme of things?? Sorry- unlike a lot of you good folk, I don't deal daily with all the Cr@p associated with breeds being wrongly represented, so don't know... So- the dog may find a home because of its alleged breeding... so may the border collie who looks a crossbreed. I don't see from info on that site that this rescue group is PROMOTING the oodle breeds....they are probably repeating what they were told by the dog's owners, and trying to find him a home. maybe , if the rescue organisation is contacted, someone can explain to them the need to not encourage purchase of these dogs for the reasons we all know..and to pass on that info to the poodleXlab's new owners?

Cop Accused Of Cruelty After Taking Two Shots To Kill Kangaroo
persephone replied to Steve's topic in In The News
Good for the policeman! enabling a firearm in a built up area is not a thing done lightly. As Dr.Wirth explained- there is only one correct way for instant death. I am sure police are not normally privy to the handbook which shows diagrams of the brain's position and sets out the correct way to kill kangaroos- .... he did what he could. A thrashing kangaroo is not the easiest of targets-bearing in mind onlookers,traffic/nearby houses..... -
Hmm.. sounds as if you have the majority vote so far;)
-
Sorry you have this break up happening- but it sounds the 'right' way for you to go. re: the pup.Here are some things to ponder, as you make your decisions Who paid the majority of the purchase price? In whose name is it registered/microchipped? Who has the house/yard? Who will/would have been handling/showing said pup?
-
Not sure what fittings you require..My guess is there is a ring/hook to attach leads/chains to? In that case it's dead easy ! get the sort of chain you like from a hardware store.....get two SWIVELLED snaphooks...attach one to each end of the chain length, using two nice stainless steel link fasteners(look like a chain link, but can be screwed shut) the size that will fit thru your chain links... DONE, and will probably cost around $20. You end up with a snaphook for the collar- a length of chain, strong as you want, and a snaphook for the anchor point. NB: stainless or brass snaphooks are more expensive, but STRONGER-and usually better made.

I think the type of surgery depends on the degree of HD, the mobility level required, and the general health of the patient???

Sorry, but I don't understand this at all. What makes the vet thinks the testicles will drop in another 3 or 4 months? If they are not down now they may never be down and if they are not down it is all the more reason to remove them. I have never heard of a vet doing this. They usually just make a bigger incision, find the testicles and remove them. Anybody else ever heard of a vet doing this? Must admit to wondering why the vet did not search for, and remove testes then & there - now poor pup has to have another anaesthetic and a bigger op.... just a thought- if there is already a fat deposit in the scrotum.. sounds as if the body has made its decision.... no balls in the ballroom ;) just my thoughts, and probably wrong!
