Sad story. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do though. Maybe there was a medical reason for his behaviour. A few tests would have been a good idea. Nobody will know now. Life sadly does go on though. I certainly feel for them and poor Coolio.

My gosh how time flies. Beautiful pups

Just one of my many hippeastrums. I definitely have no green thumbs but I am proud of these. Probably because they look after themselves

Thanks PossumCorner. We have quite a few green tree frogs around and our recent rain has bought the happy guys out. Quite funny - they start croaking and Molly starts barking. She just wonders what the strange noise is but after hearing them for a while she gets used to them.

We lost our little girl to cancer earlier this year. I say give her and you as much time as possible but with her best interests at heart. We helped our girl with pain management, it was our only option although most of the time you would have thought nothing was wrong with her. We knew when enough was enough as you will. Just enjoy all the time with her as possible. Good luck.

Such a sad time for you. Bubby sounds like a beautiful character. My thoughts are with you

Warmer weather and a drop of long awaited rain has bought out an old friend.

Such a true but very sad story

Wow. Haven’t they grown So cute

My mother in laws baby peachface. It is a few weeks old.

Funny how men change. My hubby is the same. He said losing Zena was so much harder than he ever imagined. He was absolutely gutted when we said goodbye to her and between us so many tears have been shed. 6 months on and we still can have a good cry. Ingrid sounds like a sweet little girl who was obviously loved a lot.

So sorry to hear of your loss. It certainly is a tough decision but we know when the time is right. Take care. My thoughts are with you.

Thanks. Now I know. Yes, it always did look spectacular at my mums.

Not sure exactly what this plant is but certainly don't want to get too close. My mother was moving house and kindly passed it on to me!!!!!

It has now been 6 months since saying goodbye to our Zena. To us it still feels like yesterday. The tears, pain and extreme hurt are all still there. Not a day goes by without thinking of her. Actually she is my first and last thought for each day. Some people might think us strange but for us she was just that kind of dog. She had such an awesome personality. Feisty and such a little go getter but also so gentle and very loving. She had quite the knack of doing something each day to make me laugh. She could easily brighten the gloomiest of days. She loved life and lived it to the fullest and it hurts that life ended up being so cruel to her, giving her this insidious disease. We wish we could have done more for her but..... This little girl was so intelligent and seemed to have a lot of human characteristics. She had this very quirky grin that she used in circumstances that would be used by humans not by a dog. For example many a time when Molly was a wee pup and would do something silly I would say to Zena, "what a dummy Molly is" and she would give this huge grin. Too many examples like that to write about. And of course every afternoon when "Dad" come home from work naturally he'd get the biggest grin of all. She loved her Dad and would hover waiting for him to sit on the lounge and without a doubt seconds later she'd be up by his side. She also seemed to know when the weekends were here as she would pester just him in the kitchen for a biscuit treat. Only from him and only on a Saturday and Sunday. So many stories of how smart she was. I could go on forever. She loved going in the car, boat, camping, going for walks and meeting people. She was a little social butterfly. Everyone loved her and she loved everyone right back. She became a mum at 3 years and produced 13 pups over a period of time.She was an excellent mum and loved her puppies. We kept our Molly from her first litter and Zena was never cross with her. In my opinion she was way to soft and let Molly get away with way too much. I have seen Molly grab a bone right out of Zena's mouth. Zena would let her take it but it was me who would rouse at Molly. I always called Zena my sun goddess as she loved nothing better than sitting in the morning sun on our balcony watching the world go by and barking out a hello to any passer byers or laying on the grass "legs up" soaking up the suns rays. She was just adorable. 6 months without her and the house still doesn't feel right. I see her and her wiggling butt everywhere. I know in spirit she is still with us but I'd really just love one more cuddle. What more can I say.We loved you Zena and hope you are now at peace. One day I believe we'll all be together again. Love my Zeeny Weeny.

Meet our other four legged family member, Lucy. Despite looking very mean she was actually just yawning She is 8 years old and gets on very well with Molly. Lucy loves her dog

Love it down along the NSW coast. Great photo

Some of my schnauzer pups that come to me for grooming do come with knots and matts. Some extremely bad. I use a good brush with a lot of care and patience and most do come out, it takes time but in extreme cases I find that yes you do just have to chop them out. And then I try to tell the owners as nicely as possible to "please spend a few moments each week brushing your dog."

Awwww. Doesn't she look happy and contented!!

Soft toy slaughter house sounds just about right. Missed photo opportunity- on going downstairs after their first night here it looked like a super snow storm. And I believe that any one who owns a dog and a stuffed toy knows what I'm talking about

Happy to hear Phoebe is doing well. The girls are quite amazing with how much they can endure hey!! My Zena had a caesarean and was spayed at the same time with her last litter. Although she didn't look too great that night, her instincts kicked in and she looked after and loved those little pups so much. She was a great mum.

Congratulations. Well done. 5 beautiful little bundles.

Woohoo. Such a beautiful time. Sorry about the 2 little angels. Lots of good times ahead.

Fingers crossed all is well. Waiting for good news.
