I found a baby photo of Trouble, who will be 11 in February... ... and a slightly more recent one... T.

And Pickles will be 6 in September! Most of you remember when Pickles first came into care and I fostered her... and she never left... lol! From this... to this... T.

Hard to believe that the Horse Puppy is going to be 4 in September... From this... To this... T.

Back in my youth, it was normal to get a new puppy at 6 weeks of age. Dogs were also allowed to run free with us kids and each other after school... much more socialisation and acceptance back then... and if any of us kids got bitten, we were usually asked what we had done to deserve it... Times have changed so much - and I don't think all of it has been for the better of dog-human relationships in a societal sense... T.

If you need irrigation drains dug, he's your man though... lol! T.

In order for the experiment to work, the dogs will have to kill ALL of the goats... otherwise they'll just keep breeding and get out of control again... T.

That's adorable... lol! T.

That is an amazingly gorgeous photo of the two of them Kirislin... they are so pretty! T.

Naw... lovin' the big goofball! T.

I'd let him kiss me for sure! T.

Those eyes get me every time... *sigh*... such a handsome boy! T.

I think what some people are leery of is how and by whom your finished thesis may be used. Be very mindful of how you word your findings, as groups such as PETA have a nasty habit of taking excerpts of studies like this and bending the results to further their own ends. T.

Looks like Zombi is using the same grooming technique with Enzi as she did with Zuri... lol! T.

The lady in Riverwood a while back with her Tentie was right chuffed that I knew what breed her cute little dog was... lol! Made a huge mistake with the person at the station that had a Lagotto though... we don't usually see those here... usually the crosses that look similar... errr! T.

He looks pretty close to perfect as far as I can see... it may be that the other ones you see around are fat? He's obviously eating as much as he needs and not overdoing it - which is actually a blessing... lol! T.

Oh my... isn't she just a mini me of Neko... with added naughty? lol! T.

Awww... funny old boy... T.

I've had to make those decisions during my time in rescue... and I've been the one holding them as they drift off. Sometimes it's just the kindest thing you can do for a dog with no rehoming prospects. As for finding "the right home" for a large breed dog with aggression issues... it only takes one mistake for the new owners of that dog to have a very real problem on their hands... and that a HUGE ask from someone who is essentailly looking for a pet they can share their life with... I'd seriously question anyone who was specifically looking for a dog with issues to adopt... T.

Inconclusive is good IMHO... means they didn't get any really nasty cells in the aspirate... Ever hopeful that what's happening there will clear up on it's own, and that Jeune will be just fine. T.

Bouncing 4 times due to unmanageable/dangerous behaviours in a normal family setting would start to make me think that maybe this dog just isn't a rehoming prospect... so what are the alternatives here? Long term kennelling, or euthanaisia... not much of a choice, is there? And as said before, the dog is not ours to make the decisions for... T.

Is Don... is blows bubbles... T.

Go Jeune! Make them vets all wrong sweetie! T.

Well done Ziggy... you awesome boy you! T.

Secret may be little in stature... but she has big attitude... lol! T.

Loving the green stuff... and the fog... yeah! T.
