Izzy sending positive thoughts your way to you and your family for good news about Tabatha. Hoping all turns out well. :wink:

Best of luck with her, she is beautiful. :D

You did the right thing. A few years back our two dogs got out (mixed breed terrified of storms, gunshots fireworks Broke through a fence dug under the house then through another fence unfortunatly our Rottie Jake followed Prince.) My husband came to my work and we left to try and find them. I rang the police, vets and ranger. There had been reports of the two of them out back roads. We called as many friends and family to go looking and drove around looking. My husband and myself came towards a car with its hasard lights on It was dark. As we got closer I seen my best mate Jake lying on the side of the road Iwas histerical, We had arrived within 5 minutes he had died instantly. We never found Prince, But as we were responsable dog owners and had been looking and found our dog the people who had hit him tryed to sue us for $3000.00 which I would have happly paid if he was still alive. They ended up getting the money throught our public liability insurence as it was proven that the dogs broke out and hadnt just been left to rome. The main point I wish to make was that many people said afterwards that they had seen them but none of them had tryed to keep them safe or ring the pound I would have been more than happy to collect them from the pound. I relise that this is different as our dogs were muched loved members of our family, But this dog is better of at the pound than being hit by a car or abused futher. SORRY FINISHED

So sorry to hear of Bonnies passing, he is now free to run without pain and can watch down on you and your loved ones. You made the right dissicion even if it hurts so much. RIP BONNIE :angel:

I am sorry for your loss. RIP Gemma. :angel:

Its a worry, the last one we had we came home after quite a warm day and charlie was barking this different type of bark, straight away we new something was up. She had a copperhead snake bailed up under the bbq and we cant figure how she wasnt bitten. It had been at the back door near the hot water service as she had been digging around then it must have got under the bbq. Thankfully we came home when we did. Now we have the 3 dogs it really is a worry not to mention the kids going out the back to play. I guess these are the joys of living in the country.

So often it is true :(

:o I went into our bathroom and Charlie came to the window she started growling at first I thought she was streching. I looked out and she started barking at something and as our bbq is there and last summer she bailed a snake up under the bbq my first thought was a snake. As I was looking out I seen this head, S@#T I ran out there by this stage Charlie, Bull and Jessie were all over there, I tryed to get them all in side and finally did. I went to investigate further. Thank God it was a rather large Blue Tongue Lizard so I moved him out of the back yard and over into a paddock. What worries me the most was how interested all the dogs were in him and having charlie already almost bitten by a snake and having had 2 snakes on the back porch over the past 2 summers. With the dogs and my 2 boys I really worry about snakes Thank godness it was a lizard THIS TIME. :evil:

Now Now Breezze in breezze out, sorry we used to say that at work alot. Why is it always something special that has to get broken and not something that doesnt matter so much????? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

It sounds a lot nicer if they are able to stay home and be looked after. Good luck I hope it all go's well. :D

Glad to here the meds have kicked in, sending positive thoughts your way.

K Your right you would have made the perfect home for her. lol :lol: Mouse Thanks for moving the picture to the top for me. :wink:

[img]http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-10/850907/Miz.JPG[/img] This is Mizzy she is one of our puppies that we breed. She went of to her new home last week after having some health issues sorted. I was really sad to see her go as we had nearly lost her to infection at 4 weeks and we spent so much time having cuddles and spoiling her. Well we were going to keep her but these lovely people contacted us to enquire about any puppies we said they were all sold but we had this one girl that we have hung on to so we could make sure that she wasnt going to have any further problems and we were undiscided about selling her. They were willing to come and meet with us. After meeting with them they fell in love and we thought they would make a great home for her, we had her desexed and they had to wait a further 3 weeks. They kept in close contact and finally last week picked her up. I was very sad as she was our spec ial girl. Yesterday they contacted us to say she was wonderful and she sleeps on there bed and she follows them everywere and there 11 year old just loves her. They thanked us so much for allowing them to have her. This all made me feel so much better. All's well that ends well.

What a beauty. :D Well done Cruiser.

Thanks sad but true.

Well done BM you did a great job with those puppies and they were so lucky to have had you care for them. Now they have a wonderful opertunity to find there forever homes although it is sad that you were unable to keep one I am sure that they find great homes soon. :wink:

:D WOW what a wonderful opertunity. All paws crossed here. :D

:D He is lovely. :D

I am so sorry Tammy. Please try not to beat yourself up. We cant have all the answers all of the time, I know this won't help you feel better now but he is no longer suffering. R.I.P. Smudgie :angel:

Sending positve thought your way. :wink:

With Charlie currently in heat I cant think of any thing worse than having all these dogs in heat. It is not fun... :-? And as its been said a lot of times the girls will come in at the same time. So not sure about the logic in that one.
