I'd love a photo of Pudden in a mud puddle... I reckon he'd look funny as all covered in mud... lol! T.

Or we could break the tradition and call him Tarquin... lol! Sipsy? - goes with the S theme... lol! Is he a good feeder? *giggle* Zipsy? I think we need Neko nursing photos... *grin* T.

Did they play in mud puddles too? T.

Secret is a cool name... I reckon we have a winner for tiny then... lol! Spirit or Scout for the other girl maybe? Pretty please? How about Simon for the boy... lol! T.

Hoppy Barfday Don! 2 years already! Time flies when you are having fun, doesn't it? T.

I'll second that opinion... T.

Nothing wrong with your sleep deprived camera skills Kirislin... we can still see how gorgeous and healthy the 3 new arrivals are... and they certainly are beautiful! So... I picked it... 2 girls and a boy... what's my prize... lol! (Can we call the tiny little girl Spirit or Scout?) T.

They are stunning little munchkins Kirislin... perfect in every way! Congratulations to you and Neko for the safe delivery of 3 bundles of perfection. Please give Neko a kiss and cuddle from me... and plant a soft kiss on each of the babies' noses too... T.

Starting to get a little worried that there have been no updates all day... hope everything is OK Kirislin... T.

*waiting patiently for photos* T.

YES!!! 2 girls and a boy... well done Neko and Kirislin! Looking forward to seeing photos of them once you and Neko have had some time to rest and get used to the new additions. So exciting! Big hugs... T.

I have a photo somewhere of Trouble 24 hours before she whelped... she was hidden under a garden bench in a hole she'd dug... and looked miserable... lol! Go Neko! Can't wait to meet your little ones! T.

Maybe I should come visit you and the Moochers again with my latest whizz-bang camera and lenses? *grin* T.

Awww... the eyes do tell the story, don't they? Methinks she's not overly enjoying the being terribly fat part of the process... lol! Hang in there Neko... only a few more days girl! T.

loveyrdog - despite your well meaning intentions, what you are suggesting as a course of action is illegal. All stray dogs should have an attempt made by those able to do so to be reunited with their owners. As evidenced here, there are many dogs out there who, if found wandering the streets, may display behaviours that might make those less informed believe that the dog had suffered some abuse during its life... I own one such dog - and I know she's never been abused as I've known her since she was still inside her mother (the joys of rescue) - however, in new situations and with people she doesn't know, she's a complete emotional wreck, cowering, backing up, and fear barking. I would hope that if she ever got out of my yard, that some kind soul would do as MonElite did, and make friends with my girl and try to get her safely back to me by whichever means possible - including taking her to the pound... as that is where I'd be calling first to find her myself! willem - you need to take a few deep breaths and calm the heck down. Maybe read and reread posts before you go off all gung ho with your "advice". If English is a second language, then even moreso... your attitude and bullish language is not endearing you to anyone... and funnily enough, is more likely to make them completely disregard any advice you have to give because you are such an annoying ass while giving it... T.

I think we need daily photo updates now... *grin* T.

What a little trooper! Maybe her owwie teeth had a bit to do with her aversion to food? Moreso as she gets older, yes? I remember meeting and playing with all of your dogs... Tamar is the sweetest little girl... please give her a soft cuddle and a kiss from me for being so brave at the vet... T.

Not long to go now! *waiting patiently* Arkey's leg is looking good... not much swelling left there... the wonders of modern surgery... T.

I have some awesome shots of minimax's Max doing her thing in the kiddie pool at Catdogs' BBQ a couple of years ago... T.

I use a free program called Easy Thumbnails to resize my photos... and it doesn't lose any of the quality that you can see with the naked eye. Easy Thumbnails - http://www.fookes.com/easy-thumbnails I'm also a fan of Flickr rather than Photobucket - Photobucket does wierd things to the colour of the photos... T.

Gorgeous! I think you've selected both the camera and subject really well... T.

It's an interesting post! You know that eating Maccas or 2 minute noodles everyday is not healthy and certainly not appropriate for long term health 5-10 years down the track so you'd also concur that this is true for dogs? Low quality foods do impact long term health. Although I appreciate your dog was 16 which is a fab innings it's unlikley your dog was on either Supecoat or Bonnie for that entire 16 years. I can also argue there are exceptions similar to how some smokers live long lives. I think it can be quite damaging to novice dog owners to have them believe 2 minute noodles or maccas is a suitable long term diet for their dog that will create great long term health. Ummm... I'll also confess to feeding Pedigree at times. I would say the majority of her life though, she was fed the lower priced kibble as the main diet... I believe that there are more likely to be many other factors contributing to health and longevity than just what food we give them, yes? Things like being a full family member with full inclusion in daily life, a nice safe warm bed to sleep on every night (and day as the case generally is with dogs), vet attention and parasite prevention as necessary, etc, etc... T.

They will be stunning babies no matter the colour... but I'd really like to see that stunning red fawn represented... *grin* T.

She could surprise us all and have 4... *grin* Still tipping 2 girls and a boy... but if only 2 babies... both girls. Hoping for a show of some of that stunning tan in the mix somewhere... T.

I'm stalking it every few hours already! T.
