Speshul dogs are actually not too bad to have about, and they do learn to cope properly in their own way and their own time... trust me, I've got one too! I'm a bit in love with Pudden though... he looks like he's going to be a big floppy doofus dog when he finally grows up. Smoke and Don will teach him the right things to do when Mum calls soon enough... What does Trouble think of the little ones? T.

Allambie vet used to do rescue rates... T.

Need photos of the piggy back... lol! T.

I love photos of the Boss with the dogs... there's just that something about how they all seem to adore him... he must be a pretty awesome fellow... ... and Pudden... *sigh* T.

Fetching Dogs? http://www.fetchingdogs.com.au/contactus/ - no number advertised T.

Nawww.... too cute! T.

Do you think she may be picking up on your being down lately with everything that's been going on with family and such? T.

How darling is she? Nawwwww! T.

Aww Pudden... you be so handsome... even when tired! Merle is rather striking with the odd eyes... T.

I think I'd need a picture of that as I can't quite visualise it. I got it fom a thread here some years ago... they posted a picture, but I can't find the thread... grrr! T.

Pickles is naughty... not just opportunistic... seriously naughty! And I wouldn't have it any other way really... lol! T.

He's still just a big puppy at heart, isn't he? T.

I will find the new star in the heavens tonight and raise a wee toast to sweet Hazel... fly free with the angels old girl... T.

*giggle* Hope Teddy survived to play another day... T.

Well... that's OK then Pudden... *grin* T.

For the pulling, try a longish lead and loop a portion of it down in front of the chest so that it can flap slightly when the dog is walking... I tried it on one foster I had that was a puller and it worked a charm... don't ask me why, but it did! T.

Pudden... coffee/tea is not the best treat for a growing pup... Check out the smile on my precious boy! T.

Oh Pudden... you be such a boofhead! But we lubs ya anyways! T.

Can you plant a kiss on Pudden's head for me perse? Tell him it's from Aunty T and she thinks he's the best kind of special... T.

I'm a little bit in love with Pudden... T.

Love and caring also work wonders... and he has those in abundance... T.

Go young Mac! Doing well sweetheart! T.

A friend of mine had never been able to deal with the process, so she had her husband take previous pets to the vet for their final visit... ... until one day her husband was away and her old Lab went down and couldn't get up. She called me, and we managed to get him into the car and off to his fave vet... and to my surprise, she actually stayed for the procedure and coped very well considering. I put it down to the fact that the vet was completely amazing - he explained everything to her and was very kind and understanding... not to mention that he was actually waiting for us outside the clinic when we pulled up, and helped to carry Ralph inside to the consult room. It was one of the most dignified passings I've ever been present for. Ayman at Narwee Vet Clinic... you are the greatest! T.

I have never left any of mine when they were given their wings... but I know plenty of people who just aren't able to cope with the process. T.

Still just a case of enacting new legislation when they still aren't enforcing current legislation... not going to work any better than the current stuff... *sigh* Then again, better to be seen "doing something", rather than actually doing something... T.
