  1. Have a look at the people providing the information:
  2. I haven't seen the donut ones available here at all. I think I might order one from the US for future use.
  3. He was very happy to see me. Not at all frantic so he must have settled down pretty quickly. Mr Bucket Head can eat in a bucket. Poor Mr Bucket Head.
  4. Mr Bucket Head is in the lounge by himself today. Very unhappy man. He was in a right state when I left him. I heard the bucket hit the door after I left.
  5. You know, I think there might be some errors in the schedule ...
  6. Grumpy has no peripheral vision with the elizabethan collar on and he had a full blown grumpy meltdown. I think he thought my computer chair was going to get him. 'Darling,' I said soothingly. 'Grrrrrrrrr ...' he responded. 'Oh, don't be silly,' I said. 'Grrrrrrrr ...' he said. 'I'm going to get a cup of tea,' I said. 'Grrrrrrr ...' he said. 'We're sleeping in here tonight, dopey man,' I said. 'You're not sleeping on the couch.' I came back with my tea and guess who managed to get on the couch with elizabethan collar on. 'Clever man,' I said. 'Grrrrrrrr ...' he said. :D
  7. OT but I think anyone who wants a wheaten should see one in its full matted coat glory, be handed a comb, and told to groom it.
  8. Yes, and then there's those who express their sympathy but the next sentence out of their mouth is, 'And when will you get another dog?'
  9. I think when he's outside he's more energetic because he runs around with Mini. The loungeroom is probably safer for him.
  10. Yeah, I asked about those at the vet. Not available here. Might have a go at making one but can't today.
  11. That's a good idea (though Grump would have it off in a second). My last wheaten I got kids socks and taped them to his leg. He was fussy; didn't like plain socks and would rip them off. The prettier, the better, and the longer they stayed on. My tartan ones were his particular favourite.
  12. He's been very good. I had it on him yesterday and we all slept in the lounge because I didn't want to crate him with the bucket and he'd try to get on the bed otherwise. I just had him outside and he kept getting stuck on things and just stood there as if he couldn't work out how to move backwards to fix it. The garden is full of trees and is kind of like the secret garden - little paths going off everywhere and loads of opportunity to get stuck. Poor man. I'll see how he goes for the rest of the day. The wound is finally scabbing, though, and I so don't want him to rip at it when it gets itchy.
  13. I'm currently thinking the loungeroom would be best, if I move the coffee table out of the way and if I roll up the rug. The rest of it's tiled so if he does a wee or poo it's not a drama to clean it up.
  14. Not when it takes a military-style operation to get him to the vet.
  15. Terrier group is up now. I'm actually surprised he didn't pull out the wheaten. Just a beautiful dog (and nice to see one with a correct coat winning). Yes, apparently at the most prestigious dog show in the world, you can look like a bogan. The terrier group people were the best dressed.
  16. Meet Mr Bucket Head. He is a Grumpy 14-year-old wheaten terrier who tore off his leg bandage and a couple of stitches out. He is now in an elizabethan collar. The vet said I could take out the stitches Wednesday but given the bucket is keeping the back leg dry and in one piece I am considering leaving it on for at least another day. However, I have to go to work tomorrow and I'd prefer not to leave Mr Bucket Head unsupervised with the bucket on. I could crate him with it on, though he'd find it difficult to have a drink in the crate wearing the bucket. I could also rebandage the leg but given how it's finally healing and drying out nicely, I'm hesitant to do that. Besides, he's a crafty old man and would rip the bandage off in an instance. What have people done in these sorts of circumstances?
  17. Neither do Leonbergers it seems !!!! Wheatens, white swiss shepherds and leonbergers can have their own show.
  18. If they're just going to run off, perhaps they shouldn't be off lead.
  19. just pay to watch reruns it is so cheap Yeah, just did, but I can't see where any of that pay-to-view video is.
  20. I don't know what survey it is but I recall the angst over a rescue group placing dogs with Pets at Home well before they affiliated with Lort Smith (I think at the time they were still selling puppies). I don't like it but it would probably depend on the circumstances and a very strictly hidebound criteria.
  21. And after all that, I missed the terrier group judging.
  22. Terrier group judging starts at 4 am Saturday our time, I think.
