My first call would also be the breeder - as they have experience in multiple dogs ..and running on puppies... I have no advice for you other than that...except perhaps desex earlier,rather than later.

I agree- some chicken necks and pumpkin

I just think your photos of these guys are fantastic!!! The second one is fabulous!! It should be on a greeting card!!!

Hope all is well.... what are her pupils like? Normal/ larger/smaller?

pain of some sort, I would surmise..... has she toileted ok?

Happy? Naaahhhhhhhh Great to see

So Sorry Rozzie- she has earnt her chance to frolic over the bridge

...Mind you, if Charlie is still unwell... and he is expecting pain .. does resting in his crate do anyone any harm? I would be inclined to leave his crate .. and bed/s as normal.. and don't force him to stay out of his crate.let him make the decisions.... stay in his crate and rest- but with no people interaction... or come out and socialise gently. No calling, or encouraging either way.... just let him work it through...

May I also suggest that when he was so ill- you carried him around everywhere with you in his crate I remember you saying that you took him outside etc.... perhaps , because he was fussed over so while IN the crate, and it hurt when he was OUt.... it seems a good idea to stay IN it now Maybe you should start being a bit 'tougher'..and ONLY talk to him/praise him, when he is out of the crate, and doing stuff?

The only 'ritual' is the taking of a 'trophy'. Wonder if the roos were treated the same way? These guys were playing the hunter...and took home a reminder. There are ,whatever you may think of them, a lot of these people around. Sad, but true. Run free and happy over the bridge, dogs...

How confusing! BODY ONLY in the box, it seems if it is with the lenses- sounds good

mumsy- have the pups got nice black noses/dark eyes and eyelids?..What about their pads? be very careful..if there is little or no black pigment ,this may lead to problems. Agree that you may need to do some more research. did the breeder say why she still has a 5 mth old puppy?

*nods*

Lifesize casts of a bearded dragon and a sand goanna, a taxidermied duck (head/neck in some reeds) a little echidna I made, using some dried skin/spikes we found, as a base..and who is very cute , some feathers, a willy wagtail nest, a rain moth pupa case....just a few bits & pieces This is mainly for visitors- a lot of who are overseas/city folk who don't get to see such things normally . pics???? OK! I didn't forget ..and we added an entire shed snakeskin here: The little 'triceratops' beetle is circled in green, so you can see him!!

Python- computers break down, email gets lost.. a phone call will help you find out of the breeder is actually there, or if anything else is problematic

Beena long time .... but AFAIK it contains lots of goodies Antibiotics/binder/smooth muscle relaxant... so it will stop cramping/help solidify bowel content/kill bugs causing the problem...

Well, That's a handy thing :D.

Dogs are very good at looking after themselves:) She fits nicely!

Should be more of it!! :D

Usually they are fasted the night before.... if they have food/water in their stomachs, they may vomit under the anaesthetic .. and that can be dangerous. Afterwards- just offer him a drink later on, and maybe a small meal... he will probably be drowsy.Normal food etc next day. keep him warm and quiet and let him sleep! keep him from jumping around too much for a few days..he can still have his toys, of course- but no long walks, or bouncing off furniture he may need an elizabethan collar..chewed stitches are not a good thing. However, if you are with him, he can be watched then- without the elizabethan collar :D

First- BREATHE.. Anger is not really what you need now- it is calm planning and thought. Please do NOT set rat traps They can break a cat's foot/leg! Kidnapping/stealing someone else's pet is just WRONG. Obviuosly the owners DO care- cat has a collar and bell- which many do not...so many people still believe it is cruel to keep cats indoors at night, as cats are nocturnal,and the 'wild side' of them needs to roam.... I would suggest speaking with them... calmly... I would also suggest ,instead of phoning council, have a look at the websites.. see if there is a cat curfew law in place. Some folks who answer phones have no idea if there is a curfew in place- then by all means trap/impound cat. if not - then perhaps you can still trap it- or get one of those water squirting /motion activated things ;)or befriend the cat and remove the bell!

I'd keep the palm.... or - offer it for sale!! If it is a big old one- often they sell well- buyer to remove,of course. Old established palms are sought for housing projects/parks, etc. make enquiries A few in our town were removed from private gardens and planted at he Club and other spots! They were very old. Is yours a date palm? they take SO many years to grow..... it is a shame to kill them, I think.

hey...WELL DONE!!!!

I would also suggest you refer back to the breeder.... you may also like to read THIS
