If you can safely remove the duck from where it is, and get it to the RSPCA or AWL (Animal Welfare League) nearest you, they will take it in... T.

I'm never moving to Victoria... T.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck - it must be a witch... Monty Python and the Holy Grail... *sigh*

You're on!!! T.

Sometimes it seems like people are either "GSD people" or "Rotti people"... it's almost like some people just can't bring themselves to like (or even accept) both breeds. Personally, I'm not a complete fan of the look of the GSD, and the longer coat doesn't really do it for me as a dog owner - but I'm equally as likely to approach someone out walking one to ask for a pat/cuddle. But to really get me excited (to the point of becoming stupid), there's nothing better on the planet than getting myself some Rotti cuddles and kisses. I remember once going to a Dangerous Dog Handling course run by Steve Austin - and he brought out King... I actually squealed and said "wanna cuddle Rotti puppy". I got my Rotti cuddles and kisses from him and was in heaven! Steve thought it was hysterically funny that all I thought when I saw his highly trained attack dog was that I wanted to cuddle him - everyone else at the course were rather apprehensive of King - especially after he demonstrated his arm work... errr! Seriously though Dyzney - all of your dogs are even prettier and more cuddlesome than King was... I wouldn't be able to contain myself if I saw you out with them... I'm a complete Rotti "tragic"... T.

Hey Dyzney - have you noticed that some people who have been "GSD people" have a kind of disdain for Rotties? When I owned Rotties, I noticed that GSD people did tend to categorise MY dogs for some reason... go figure? If I saw you out with your babies, I'D be the one rushing over to ask for a cuddle... I'm a bit of a Rotti fan... *grin* Do yours give kisses to strangers? I love Rotti face cleaning kisses... T.

PM ruthless - she usually does a rescue calendar, and her photos are amazing! T.

Totally loving Sid's spots... lol! T.

9 is only middle aged for a Poodle... certainly not old by a long shot! The adoption fee is non-negotiable - no matter what the person enquiring may feel about it. We've had people tell us that our dogs should be free "because they are rescues"... whatever that is supposed to mean. No matter the time, effort, and money we have put into them to prepare them for new forever homes. T.

Hahaha! So she can kill her toys as well as killing daisies? Poor Blondie - I thought she'd taught Neko not to mess with her last week.... T.

What does Neko have in her mouth in that first photo of her crashing the party? It looks suspiciously like a chicken wing... errr! T.

He's beautiful! and I love the bio... well done! Some dogs take a little while to find their perfect forever home, but it WILL happen... T.

Pickles gets attention because of her funny walking style - she walks kind of like a marionette puppet due to the scar in her brain sustained as a wee puppy - and when people ask what "breed" she is, I just tell then to pick one, as it's probably in the mix somewhere... lol! Pickles is a tart for pats, and we get to talk about rescue dogs - so I'm not too fazed at being stopped with her. I've had people ask what breed Trouble is, and then when told she's a Labrador, get the comment that she can't be because she's not fat... *sigh* T.

Extra treats for Wilma methinks... what a good little girl! T.

He's now past the really critical stage, so you can start to relax a little and just focus on getting his appetite back to normal. Remember he's had some pretty major abdominal surgery, so his tummy may still be a little tender when he eats solid foods. As long as he's drinking well, and everything that goes in the top end comes out the back end looking normal, you should be fine... T.

^^ this... *grin* T.

May I ask why you didn't want to put your head under the water? Just think of the great shots you'd get if you were submerged fully... T.

How could anyone resist that face? I'd be asking for cuddles too... T.

Awesome pics huga... look at Sid's spotty butt... lol! T.

LMFAO at that last pic... *giggle* Poor Juniper Bucket Head... lol! Please pass on a kiss from me, OK? T.

As with any training tool we use on our animals - if used correctly, there should be little to no damage possible... I like check chains for training myself. One of my dogs has a harness - but that's because she is mobility challenged and has a hyersensitive spot on her neck right where a collar would go - so regular collars are out for her... *grin*... the harness also allows me to give her assistance quickly if she stumbles. T.

I already have 4 dogs - 2 of whom are rescue "foster failures"... Surfing PetRescue would be dangerous for me... *grin* T.

The only photo that seems to be missing is the "money shot" photo... the front on full face head tilt shot... I'm sure you know the one... *grin* Can you mabe stick a pretty blue ribbon on the side of his head (top, near the ear for the jaunty look), and then get him to give you the head tilt while you photograph him? The above has worked wonders for a few of our bull breed crosses... lol! T.

Way to go Harry!!! Keep improving for you Mummy and Daddy big guy! T.

Harry - you need to stop scaring your Mummy like this... please stop being a princess and eat something to make her happier about the situation... FM - hang in there - he will come good in his own time. Sometimes they like to rub it in that they aren't feeling good and make you worry much more than you should. Is he drinking? If so, maybe try a little chicken broth with a small amount of soggy rice in it - feed a small amount a few times a day until his tummy feels like taking on more solid food. Try ice cream too - sometimes that has a soothing effect on a sore tummy - and he may have a bit of a sore throat from the tube during surgery, which could put him off more solid stuff... T.
