I have a couple mud monsters here including this clown, Buddy. He is a rescue that loves to frollick in the mud. :laugh: Thanks to all the rain and Buddy, we now have a dam forming under the clothesline. For Mud monsters like Buddy, it is a dream come true. :laugh: I was sitting here earlier when I heard this sloshing sound and I knew straight away who it was and what he was doing and sure as houses, I was right. :laugh: I had a job and a half cleaning him up to bring him back inside tho and I have a big job ahead of me once it dries up out there. Anyone got any landfill they want to get rid of? I might need it to fill the hole. :laugh: Check out "Buddy", the modern day mud monster... :laugh: Look at his legs and check out the dam.

This ^^^ I have had a fair few come into care with it. It usually gets better on it's own. I have had only 1 that needed antibiotics. As Kirty mentioned keep him warm, dry and well away from other dogs, as it's very contagious.

I'll say. :laugh: I think the worse that has happened to me is once when we were living in Manildra I was out walking Gyps and she caught sight of a cat. We were walking on a gravel road and she was a husky... no guessing what happened. I had my first lesson in rock skiing. (the cat was fine, Gyps didn't even get close with me in tow :laugh: ) it was a proud moment though, as I did manage to stay on my feet. Then last year One night whilst out walking Loges, the grass was wet and I started running to beat Jack home (to the front gate) - I tripped at the front of next doors house and was dragged the rest of the journey home on my knees. Little Jack was with me and boy did we laugh! he thought it was hilarious. I still wonder if any of the neighbours saw us that night. :laugh:

Great shots Teekay. Love the guber lips in the first one. :laugh: He's gorgeous. Great to hear all is going well.

Gorgeous pics. The dogs look like they had a ball. And those pancakes one of those would be enough to feed me and my family! :laugh:

Beautiful post PS. I was the opposite when I lost my old girl Gyps. I lost her in July and got Takoda in October. I was so lost without my old girl and needed rescuing myself. I still cry for her sometimes and for Whitey and Jay but at the same time, I can also think of them now and remember the good times and smile, whereas I couldn't do that before. I have tears streaming down my cheeks just typing this. Takoda has helped and continues to help my heart mend. And although I never got Takoda to replace Gyps, ironically she is like her in so many ways. Enjoy your visitor Loraine. :D

I think Queanbeyan Pound will be safe. Maree Great to hear.

love it!

Rest easy little one. xxx

I am so so sorry Missymoo. R.I.P. Keisha. xxx

I was thinking and worrying about the dogs out there when I heard the Hawkesbury river might flood. Same for Queanbeyan pound. Hope everyone including the dogs continue to remain safe in those area's and in any other area's at risk of flooding.

What kind of dog is she ES? I wish I could help but I am full to the brim atm. Hoping someone here can though.

Aww how beautiful.

love the statue. Very lifelike and very cute. :laugh:

The Mums a baby herself. I hope her and pup are going to be ok.

Missymoo have you thought about going back to the spot she was lost and leaving a peice of clothing you've worn? if she hasn't wandered too far, she may smell her way back to it?? just a thought. I'd actually be leaving a few bits of clothing laying around in different spots where she was lost and then checking on it daily, just incase... sometimes they don't wander very far, she might be hiding somewhere?? I can only imagine how you're feeling right now. I hope you get her back.

OMG I am so jealous. :laugh: What an incredible holiday that must of been. Gorgeous pics, thanks for sharing.

Sounds like he has settled in perfectly PS. You are doing a fantastic job with him!

Oh no. I am so sorry Nek. R.I.P. Skoota. xxx.

So sorry for your loss KKDD. Huge hugs. R.I.P. Valentino. xxx. Rest easy beautiful boy.

For a safe and speedy return. How worrying.

What a gorgeous boy. He looks very happy indeed.

I remember when I went to walk Ellie (the poor shep x left tied up in a yard before finding her forever home), we had this little kid on one occassion just come running up to us wanting to pat her. I don't know who startled more, me or Ellie. He came out of no where. Ellie had not grown up around kids so I wasn't sure how she'd react. Thankully she was ok, but if she hadn't of been, it could of ended in disaster and ofcoarse, poor Ellie would of been the one to pay the ultimate price - her life. I often have kids wanting to pat mine when I am out walking. As soon as they see a husky, it's like "Snow dog, snow dog" and they come running. Some ask to pat, but many don't. And worse, in many instances, the parents cannot be seen any where. I still cannot understand how they include just about everything else in school curriculums, unyet something as vital as teaching kids to meet and interact with dogs safely, isn't. I know these things should be taught at home and from a young age, but it's clear to see that the kids are not being educated. Heck, many of the parents don't have a clue about dogs themselves so how are they suppose to teach their kids? I just bought a book for Jacks kindy class called "May I pet your dog". (still waiting for it to arrive). I am either going to ask if I can do a talk to the class and read it as part of my presentation, or donate it to the class for the teacher to read to them, and hopefully pass it around to the other classes to read. IMO If it gets the message through to one child even, it's worth it. It's just a shame they don't include this sort of thing as part of their everyday learning... or at least an hours lesson on the subject once every month or even every 6 months. Surely it couldn't be that hard?? Here is the book description for anyone interested. Book Description Publication Date: April 16, 2007 | Age Level: 5 and up | Grade Level: K and up Children encounter dogs wherever they go: in the park, on the sidewalk, at their friends’ homes. Sometimes it’s love at first sight, on both sides—but not always. The right way for a child to approach a dog to ensure that the first connection is a complete success begins with this question to the owner: “May I pet your dog?” Using Harry the dachshund as a gentle guide, Stephanie Calmenson addresses this valuable yet overlooked topic with care and precision, and Jan Ormerod’s warm illustrations portray a wide variety of breeds and personalities and depict situations that are realistic but never scary. Unique and straightforward, this is the essential guide to bringing children and dogs together—for kids and parents alike. http://www.amazon.com/May-Pet-Your-Dog-How/dp/0618510346
