I'd remove the eye as well. My parents had a peke who had an eye removed and coped very well with it.

I wouldn't be making any deal with him about house or furniture. The dogs are a separate thing. Who is moving out? If it is you, just take the dogs with you. Then when you settle for an amount of money, the monetary value of the dogs and what has been contributed to their upkeep can be taken into account. what a horrible thing to say, the dogs were bought by both parties and are loved by both parties.

well so be it, but to me you were just gathering ammunition to use against your partner. It's why my only advice was to talk to him.

Sorry but you are not automatically the better owner just because you say so. Your partner has an equal say in what happens to the dogs, after all they are half his. You need to talk to him, not a forum.

I've only had one pull washing of the line dog and found the only thing to work was to keep her inside or in the dog yard while the washing was out. She grew out of it. Nothing else worked and I tried lots of things - good luck

ask the vet about a calcium supplement while he is not allowed bones. I'd feed the barley and include the water it is cooked in.

I echo this ... and about quotes, I was pleased to see the woman advocating larger dogs for elderly people. So many people think: weak, can't lift up, etc etc and so advocate small dogs. I can't think of anything much more dangerous than small dogs around the feet of older people. The trouble I see with Stan in a situation like that, Stan's Mummy, is that once he'd found a bed, would he move? Jealousy would be rampant - LOL - unless he selected a different bed every day. I was interested in that they took the colour of the dog into consideration. All the things to think about. Wonderful. That's pretty disappointing. I get the feeling black is the colour they're trying to avoid and given how many greys are black, that's a very bad message to be sending to the public. I disagree, residents in nursing homes often have poor sight. A black dog lying down inside can be hard to spot. Every nursing I've ever been in has had either white or very pale floors. A black dog would stand out very clearly, even in the dark. If your nursing home has black carpets, by all means pick a lighter dog for safety but in this case.. I don't believe safety was the deciding factor in the colour choice. why are you trying so hard to find fault? It's a great article, great promotion for greyhounds and you're hung up on colour even though they explained the reasons for it. White dogs are easier to see.

Huh? I don't go around people's neighbourhoods seeing what dogs live close by when adopting a dog. If the OP is walking their dog on a lead and has the dog under effective control then they are in the right, not all dogs appreciate other dogs approaching them and that's fair enough. they live on shared property, private property, where other unit people let their dogs off lead cause it is in their own yard. Not out in the street or around the corner.

Wendles I have sent you a PM

it's what I do for my pups. C3 vacc at 8 and 12 weeks, then booster 12 months after the 12 week shot, so booster at 15 months. My pup is 12 months soon and I was hoping to wait til 15 months for his booster (he just came off a course if antibiotics so I want to wait for abit). Glad to know someone else has done the booster at 15 months! Most people just say 12 month booster when they mean 12 months after the last puppy shots :) I've always done mine around 14/15 months

actual time in quarantine should only be 10 days by then but there are blood tests and rabies shots that need to be given in a certain time frame.

:clap: :clap: well done ACT

can't be bothered feeding the troll

Why would it draw a crowd its judge during normal breed judging .Its not like there shoved in the naughty corner with a big sign saying don't watch. Given your other posts i would doubt you watch very much of anything unless its your own breed :rofl: :rofl:

Sorry Pav lova but I need a better pic to see Brett's yellow eyes and his tan markings :laugh: What a lovely SBT he is.

if you can't visit personally then, if you know someone going OS who you trust, they can check out the dog for you. This is also valuable for importing FS. I'm lending my video camera to my trusty friend so we can discuss things when she gets back :laugh: I've been in my breed for 6 years and right from the start I knew some sort of importing was going to be needed so have been looking and networking ever since.

Yes, a thousand time yes. A dog is not a statue. Exactly - Of course a dog would want to jump off!! and he might not have even jumped off, he might have slipped, tried to lay down to rest, after all Buddy was 14 and had old bones. My young dogs would try and lie down, what dog just stands in one spot for 30 to 60 minutes? This thread just haunts me and I don't have dogs that go to groomers.

Lots of dogs where those coloured collars and the general public wouldn't have a clue that they might mean soemthing different. If your dog was wearing one and attacked another dog you would still be liable.

my thought too, great way to get your dog killed, especially if it is allowed to roam around on it's own, as it seems to do.

I found it very hard with my shoulder problems to throw the tent over the umbrella.

Oz Trail deluxe compact. I have a dodgy back and stuffed shoulder but can put it up easily on my own. I just take my time and often people will help you. I recommend the deluxe compact cause it has thicker legs and roof "bits". I always peg it down and use the guy ropes no matter if it is as still as anything. The Oz Trail compact is smaller and lighter but I went with the deluxe compact cause I can't afford to buy new ones too often and I figure it will last longer. It fits in my Mazda 323 hatchback in the back with the seat down. ETA, if you find you hate it you would have no trouble selling it on. I can have it in the back of my car and still fit the two greyhounds in with it.

What you should do is read the topic. When you have something other than bile to contribute please join us. I did contribute but you said I didn't count cause I have a minority breed, of course this was before you showed your hand. you don't. & it's nothing to do with breed, it's an intellect thing. Showed my hand? Does not compute. it's an intellect thing.
