Had to lock the dogs on the deck while I went into lumberjack mode and felled a couple of plum trees in the back yard. (Archie goes spare at the Chainsaw). Fair to say they weren't impressed.

We have a new addition to the household/menagerie, my daughter's new puppy named Snowy, she is a Bishon Frise - Shih Tzu cross.

What a cutie patootie, how are the other dogs coping with her?

She gives them both a pretty hard time, they don't really know how to deal with an overexcited little ball of fluff trying to jump all over them, no angry moments though and surprisingly Archie was the most wary of the two, but he can be a big sook sometimes. They have pretty much accepted her though, so all good.

Pretty good Baz..had 3 dogs to look after over an 8 day period, not at the same time mind you, case of one dog out the gate and half an hour later another one rocks up. I only look after one dog at a time or unless they come from the same "family". The Vet's assistant spreads the word for me, she knows what sort of owners I prefer and same for dogs, must be house trained, snipped etc. Have 2 booked (they are kennel mates) in the last week of SEPTEMBER...gawd if OUR team is playing in the GF that weekend, what's a girl to do..

Nice Nate, are these the dogs you were talking about getting back in Feb? What are their names?

Coco (left) Bailey (right - and Coco's mother).
Not mine, just looking after them and yes this is the breed I was talking about at the start of the year.

I'm trying to convince the other half, although she'd prefer other breeds and groups (eg - non gundog types).
They are my number 1 breed though!

Looks like a ridgeback? I'm keen on getting a Hungarian Vizsla - absolutely adore them and have researched certain breeds of dogs for a few years to nail down what I want.

You do have great dogs, Baz:thumbsu:. Just discovered this thread lately . All posters have great pets . Nice to see and read about

Thanks, this thread has been a bit quiet lately but, was a real roller coaster of emotions for a while there as posters relayed stories that encompassed the whole range of pet ownership. From the newest puppy/kitten moments to the inevitable passing of much loved members of the family and all the fun times and challenges in between. What great pats of our lives they are.


This morning I have booked Archie in to the vet tomorrow morning, he has the same ear infection that he seems to get this time almost every year, but I have to talk to the vet about his eyes too, I fear the old fella is going blind, he struggles to find a ball again if he loses close sight of it and his pupils are nearly always dilated even in bright sunshine.
