I Shudder to think what the Neurologists are going to think when they see my altered sensation leg next Tuesday - bruises and scratches that I really didn't feel happening... errr! And the little turds seem to have beelined for that leg in particular... lol! T.

That first shot is definitely a print out and hang on the wall one... awesome! T.

Well - I'm just the biggest dog fan ever. I really am not fussed whether they be from great lines, or just regular run-of-the-mill mutts... I'm up for cuddling them ALL! T. ETA - I currently have 10 rescue foster puppies at home, but that didn't stop me going to the Sydney Royal to cheer on my friend's 2 purebreds... and we weren't disappointed... *grin*

I had a Rotti named Woosie, and have a Labrador named Trouble... *grin* If YOU like the name, who cares if other people don't? T.

Ummm... I think you'll find that the dog in question was pts by the people who "rescued" him from MUP... turns out that MUP was quite right in her summation of said dog and that he needed to be given his wings, but the "professionals" decided that as MUP was new to the game, they knew better and made a big deal of taking him on - and eventually had him destroyed anyways. So maybe we need to give MUP the benefit of the doubt on this issue, yes? T. I am going on how she treated the dog while the dog was with her. I suggest you reacquaint yourself with the threads in question. We can all learn from the things we didn't do to everyone else's expectations Sheridan... and you have to agree that MUP has come a hell of a long way since that first foray into rescue... T. ETA - and the other rescue that took the dog from MUP didn't exactly treat him any better IMHO...

I swear - I'm going to need a skin graft on both lower legs by the time these pups are ready to rehome... they have so much love to give that it actually hurts... lol! You want today's cute antic? Bonnie the ACD pup thinks she's a guard dog... lol! Zeddy decided to bark at someone going by this afternoon, and up pipes little Bonnie with her say on the matter... yip yip... *giggle*... Clyde, of course, just lay there and let the girls do all the "work"... *sigh* Oh - and Charm likes to stand her front feet in the water bowl to have a drink... then come racing over and jump all over you... aarrgghh! I needed muddy legs on top of all the scratches... *grin* T.

Better to ultrasound... the amniotic fluid is somewhat opaque on x-ray. T.

I'm giving heaps of notice... only need some pics on or around Friday... *grin* T.

Obviously someone who had access to your groomer's company's database at some point, and had taken the list once they left. T.

I think you've really summed it up beautifully DD... everything I wanted to say too... Rach - you are one of those people that makes others better people just by knowing you. T.

Well - Roo appears to approve of the new man in your lives... he might just be a keeper then... lol! Baby steps forward are still steps forward... and I think Roo has had a lot of changes lately, so any forward motion with regards to her behaviour can be taken as a positive, right? T.

The story about where the footage came from is that the property is up for sale, and the animal libbers went there posing as buyers... although how they got the diary footage is a mystery... it's not exactly stuff you'd show a prospective buyer of your property, is it? T.

Charm is pretty quiet BlueyLove - the blue stumpy tailed girl... *grin* T.

Please don't forget 4 week old photos on Friday... *grin* T.

No probs Chez - I really think they look very Boxer cross... lol! T.

We thought there were going to be 3 surrenders too - but ended up with only 2... maybe the owner rehomed one? As for the other 3 - I reckon Felony might actually be good at any dog sport you might want to enter her in - she is very attentive and willing to please. Charm is a bit softer and still a little bit timid, but is coming along nicely. Ned is just downright cheeky... *grin* T.

I have a nasty habit of "breaking" guard dogs by making friends with them through the fence... I got into big trouble once when I was caught giving one tummy rubs through the fence at a car yard... apparently it was really nasty and would supposedly take your arm off, and it's handler was scared of it. It was a really sweet dog (for me) actually... lol! The secret is chicken flavoured Smiths chips... lol! Haven't met a guard dog yet that doesn't like them. The funny part is that I haven't the slightest intention of burglarising - I just like patting dogs... feel free to call me crazy... T.

These two are gorgeous! I love the markings. They are complete cuddlebums too Anne... think you could stretch to adopting one? Hehe! T.

They truly are that pretty mita... stunning pups! I'm sure you can if you try real hard Little Gifts... lol! If you are coming to Sydney any time soon MUP, give us a yell, and we'd love you to come visit for cuddles... T.

Hahaha! It's the camera, honest! I have a fairly decent DSLR - just point it in the right direction and hit the button - the camera does the rest for me. It also helps to have such stunning subjects to point at... when they aren't climbing all over me... *grin* T.

These kids haven't got names yet, and I'm going to have to get some different coloured collars to be able to tell them apart methinks... What a hard job I have fostering these 10 pups... all that puppy breath... *grin* T.

The 3 Heeler pups - Ned (Kelly), Felony, and Charm. Ned is the dark red one, Felony is the light red one, and Charm is the blue stumpy tailed one. Boxer cross pups coming next...

OK - it was hard work getting puppies out and playing with them to get photos (not)... *grin* Here are Bonnie and Clyde, and with Harper... Clyde is the one with the big dark patch over his eye, Bonnie has slightly darker fur and her patch is above her eye. More coming...

An old farmer's trick for all types of mange is sulfur powder... you can get it from your chemist. Mix the sulfur powder with some oil and rub it into the hairless spots. We used it on our farm house dog when he had mange as a pup, and we had the hair growing back within a week. It's worth a try, seeing as the expensive and chemically intrusive methods haven't worked very well. T.
