[size=6][color=blue][b]Congratulations [/b][/color][/size] :multi: :multi:

I second the washing detergent. Zoe suggested it a while back and I thought I would give it a try - it works great. :D

LOL - cheeky thing :wink: At least it's good to know that she is a lot more comfortable living with you than you originally thought.

LOL... when Indy was a puppy I was sure he was going to start thinking his name was No as that was all I seemed to say to him. :D K, I can just image you chasing Cymmie with the stroller..... very cute :D

Ohh puppies - Congratulations!!! Of course we are all going to be jumping up and down for pictures :wink:

Nice to hear from you again Rowie, we missed you :P

You are such an angel :angel: - the world needs more people like you.

Rest in peace Poppy :angel: :angel: :angel: :angel:

I'm a Cocker Spaniel No bones about it, you're a perky, loving Cocker Spaniel. (Think Lady from Lady and the Tramp.) Playful and energetic, you're a real people person

Oh Mouse there is not much more that I can say - sending you lots more hugs :cry:

Oh no- poor Zaphod. :( Glad he is now ok.

Good for you Courtnek. For a second there I thought the jerk was taking you to court and I was astounded. Glad it's the other way round.

In hindsight - it always seems that a bit of communication should be able to fix anything (yeah I know I'm pretending I'm living in that perfect world again). But if it were me (again in hindsight), I would put my fuzzy butts back in my room and close the door. Go over and give her puppy a bit of a pat and say something along the lines "Sorry for letting them rush you like that - wasn't expecting anyone to be here". I would then, just for conversations sake say something like " I actually have a pit too, her name is Penny... etc etc......" If anyone can still be rude after that then they are not worth worrying about. Though sometimes things happen so quickly that people never get to say what they would actually say if they had more time. PS - love your new avatar - can we see some more pics?

ABKER - NILF = [b]N[/b]othing [b]I[/b]n [b]L[/b]ife [b]I[/b]s [b]F[/b]ree. I had ony just heard the accronym the other day - I normally just say No Free Rides. :D It means before the dog gets anything it has to do something. Shaye - Duncan looks like such a sweetheart :D

That is absolutley disgusting!! What is wrong with some people!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

[quote]Another thing that made this vet really incomtient was the fact that he thought I didn't know ANYTHING about deworming or vaccinations. He even suggested that I would NOT go out on walks with Bella. Not even around the block. AND IT WOULD BE BEST NOT TO LET HER OUT AT ALL BEFORE HER VACCINATIONS!!! After this he said that to his knowledge there are no parvo or other epidemies around here, but "just to be on the safe side". Am I supposed to keep Bella locked up untill she's 16 weeks? Am I supposed to start teaching her to walk nicely in a leash when she's 16 weeks and not a day before that??? [/quote] Crested, we didn't start taking Indy for walks or anywhere where strange dogs could have been till he was 16 weeks and all vacs had been done. We took him to puppy kindy which was held at our vet's office (sterile environment) and we took him to people's houses where we personally know that all their dogs were up to date on their vacs but didn't let him out in the big bad world till he had that last jab. I would rather be safe than sorry. You can still train with her on the leash at home - that's what we did.

I agree with the others. Devin definitley does not deserve to be put to sleep and since it is all within the family there shouldn't be any external pressure to do so. IMO, 10 years old is old enough to understand that dogs can bite and if you do something that causes a dog distress then there is a good chance that you will be bitten. HF, since joining Dogo I have learnt a lot from your posts and think that even if you impart just a little bit of that knowledge to your sister she will be much better off and so will all the dogs she comes in contact with.

LOL - just what we like to hear :wink: It really sounds like she has settled in very well. I knew you would be the best Mum for her :D

Mouse, again I am so sorry. We are all here for you. (sending you lots of virtual hugs)

Poochster has given a list a mile long of what he [b]doesn't [/b]want and if you were to meet [b]every [/b]point on the list then I don't think such a dog exists. Dogs are kind of like kids - messy, noisy and destructive but the flip side of that is a whole lot of fun and love. Poochster, I think you need to focus on why you want a dog and the aspects that you [b]do[/b] want. Start from there, however you [b]will [/b]need to compromise on some of your points.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Just adorable :D

Awww your new little girl is just adorable. Still keeping my fingers crossed for Snow White.

Whoo Hoo- only six more days :D :D Now take a few deep breaths and try to relax :wink:

Mouse, I am very sorry to hear about Poppy's fading health. You will both be in my thoughts.
