We have Rosie the kelpie who was named by the kids - and Earl the bloodhound. His breeder had a Twilight theme but allowed us to choose his name, we wanted a bluesy name so his full name is Centitout My Name is Earl - after the TV show - figured they were pretty Southern

Run free gorgeous boy and know that you have touched the hearts and lives of many in such a special way.

Earl - Bloodhound - is notorious for eating stones and pet insurance will generally only pay out for one "ingestion of foreign object" - we fenced off all of the river stones in our back garden as the last resort - he would play with them and end up swallowing them.

Wll check in the morning what mine are because that is what we have (OH is a t work with the car) - Black DOg do have the double ended leads

We bought the Kluger so we could transport the dogs safely ( amongst other reasons) and we use double ended leashes attached to the harness points - feel much better with them restrained properly.

She would have been about 12 or 13 in that picture I think - she was a beautiful girl

Some gorgeous seniors Bonnie - our kelpie X with Rosie as a pup Peaches - my brothers boxer girl Clapton - our Staffy x - he was about 15 in this pic

My 2 have had their cute moments :)

Ours have a clamshell in the corner under our shaded area - the kelpie likes to lie in it and the bloodhound always stands in it when he has a drink. We leave it out all the time and fill it regularly to about halfway.

Mine still don't understand what pugs are all about - although given the reaction the bloodhound gets from some dogs ( WTF are you???????) I can understand the way pug owners feel She looks lovely - I agree with finding her som boxer buddies if possible - they can be quite unique in their play style

Run free gorgeous boy. No words that have not already been said but many

Thank goodness for crate training - I put my 2 in their crates at about 10.30 (usual bed tine is about 10 so they were keen to go) and apart from the kelpie barking a few times at midnight they were fine - her crate is in the walk in robe in our room so quite dark and secure. We had a few illegal ones going off but luckily none landed in our yard as one did last year

Have PMed you re. a thundershirt :)

We have fake turf and our dogs use it without a prob - it does get hot in the sun so if possible some shade on it would be a good idea.

Me too please

I feed twice a day since getting Earl - breakfast is anywhere from 5 - 7 and if it is holidays or weekends then we might all go back to bed afterwards. Dinner can be from 5 to 8 depending on schedule - ours don't seem too phased - the kelpie is pretty hyper 24/7 and the hound just gives us the usual sad face - which he has 24/7 .

Run free old girl - you had a wonderful life after a bad start and I know you we're so happy with Mark. You had the most gorgeous face that only a mother could love but somehow love you we all did - smelly breath and all. Loved and missed early by all - find Peaches at the Bridge sweetheart and wait there for those you loved.

Thanks piper - picked one up today and they still had lots left too - pity they didin't have the 12 kg bag of food I wanted but I had to buy some anyway so just got the 7.5

Excellent - will go in today and see if they still have them :)

Which Petstock? would def be interested in that

I have already planned my next 2 - although that wont be happening until the current 2 are gone. I want a Finnish Lapphund and an Aussie Shepherd and my retirement dog ( or dogs) will be greyhounds

Another tick for Mark Singer - he has worked with me and one of my friends and I would highly recommend him.

That's a lovely offer, KHM. Piperspal's puppy could recuperate under Earl's ears. Thinking of you and your puppy, Piperspal. *LOL* He'd drown in the drool puddle - no problem with Earl's saliva collecting anywhere except on everything within a 100 m radius :)

I am sure you will get lots of vet reccomendations but i would just like to say that if you come to Adelaide and need some help with anything I am happy to help out :) and good luck with your pup

My 2 are pretty happy most of the time :) Earl can look miserable but that is just his normal facial expression :)
