My Lab will go in the water in any weather... try it, your dog will either go and swim, or not... *grin* T.

I reckon "Cricket" is a pretty cool name for a bouncy pup - but will it still suit him when he's a mature adult? "Bandit" could have connotations with the wider public - even though WE all know it's because of his face markings... Then there's the fact that no matter what you name him, any new owner may simply change it to something else that they prefer anyways... T.

I buy 3kg containers of NappiSan... chuck a lid of it in with the wash, and everything comes out nice and clean and smells good too... Do you think that your furkids are picking up on your excitement/nervousness about going on holidays without them? T.

I want a blue brindle harlequin Labrahoover that doesn't shed - oh and it has to have blue eyes... I'm willing to pay top dollar for it - even more if you have a breeding pair... T.

If you are keeping him, then Boof or Doofus would fit just fine... but if you are rehoming him after all his work is done, then I think he needs a somewhat more attractive name, yes? Bandit definitely suits his eye markings... but something traditional and human sounding may appeal to prospective new owners... like William or Harold (Will/Bill or Harry for short) - then there are nice names like Tyler, Caleb, Joshua, Caden, Connor, Taj, Ethan... T.

So... "Pudding" isn't in the running? *grin* T.

It's unethical, immoral, and just plain wrong... but it's not illegal... grrr! T.

I like Bandit and Zorro... but I'd probably call him Spud... or Pudding... *giggle* Then again, I named my Labrador "Trouble", and 2 Rottis were named "Blossom" and "Woosie" - so maybe I shouldn't be suggesting names for other people's dogs... hehe! I don't know, but he definitely looks like a "Spud" to me... T.

I reckon Pepper thinks Mummy has bought her a really early Christmas pressie - they look to be having lots of fun! How is Tango coping? T.

Ummm... I hope he's a Dally and not a spotty Dane... errr! He's a handsome lad though... please give him a cuddle from me, OK? T.

C'mon spottychick - don't keep us all in suspense... T.

I'd be getting an X-ray of the dog's neck/upper spine to rule out anything physical going on there... the not wanting to bend down to eat is possibly a sign of a problem in the neck region. T.

Only a few more hours... T.

I have a mate who had to have quite a bit of abdominal surgery after having an adverse reaction to Voltaren. My prefs are either Naprosen SR 1000 (24 hr dosage) or Celebrex 200mg (doesn't give me heartburn)... I have a serious back condition that I've just had to learn how to live with - being allergic to most painkillers... grrr! I can take the above if the pain is really nasty, or over the counter Nurofen when it's just niggling... T.

Boot Dupree, and thank Kuma for having the balls to tell the guy what you've been putting off telling him... T.

Today is the day!!! *bouncing around in anticipation* T.

Now I'm getting all excited - only have about 24 hours to wait for news... *sigh* Don't you forget to take your camera to the park when you do the intros - we want pics! T.

Love the look on the dog in the beddie - seems to say "ain't he crazy?" T.

One more sleep!!! T.

I got signed up for it at some doggy day out once... had one person contact about a play date for our dogs, but her dogs were a bit untrained and unsociable, so I never took them up on a renewal of the membership. T.

All I can say is that you have one very well trained OH... lol! T.

Fingers AND toes crossed here!! T.

Hehe! Dutch and Knuckles decided that one Astred... I don't think any of us really had a say there... ... and Dutch has the cutest backside in the whole park... *giggle* (I must find that bum shot I took... ) T.

Uh oh!!! *fingers crossed that puppy makes it to spottychick's house* T.

If you were truly looking to get the "best" result from a small/large dog mating, the "smart" move would be to put a small male over a larger bitch - who the hell needs emergency caesarians?? People never cease to amaze with their stupidity when it comes to the health and welfare of their pets... *sigh* T.
