The family that originally found Dexter came to visit him this morning. They are considering adopting him. They are a young, active couple with a teenaged daughter. All of them are runners - the guy runs ultra marathons! They seem really lovely, and they're very taken with Dexter who, for his...

He has people coming to see him this morning 😬

Thanks for asking, Cath. She’s not doing too well at the moment, is quite withdrawn since Dexter’s arrival. I assume it’s all the upheaval, and the fact that J is in and out of the kennel multiple times a day - she’s still very unsure of him. I’m back to feeding her by hand because otherwise she...

And yellow. And brown. And orange bat-eared. And spotty floppy-eared. And doe-eyed worry-faces. And stripey needle-teethed.

I’m going to bet that the average human does a lot more damage to wildlife than the average cat 🤷‍♀️ And does neutering a cat make it any less damaging to the local fauna? I’m guessing not. But, yes, I get your point and it was something along the lines of what I was thinking yesterday. It’s...

I don't know the answers to any of those questions. For my sins, I don't follow Spanish politics and couldn't even tell you who was in government right now! I do know it wasn't long ago that Spain was trying to force Catalonia to reinstate bullfighting - which had been banned here by the Catalan...

This is fabulous! Congratulations to you and Mas the Magnificent!

Google Translate should help with this but.... WTAF?!? Of course, it's a mixed bag, but extreme, much?! https://revistajaraysedal.es/gobierno-anuncia-mayor-ataque-caza-historia-ley-bienestar-animal/?fbclid=IwAR2HG7ziWAmzWq3lQeR0Dgv2X633MBOJDmXnKsqn9UcZcKAuTt4LDS8aIOQ Highlights: This is being...

Hey @Gill, my elderly tripawd has had all sorts of things over the last few years. She’s currently on Osteopen (Cartrophen), Librela, and laser therapy. There’s no doubt that the thing that makes the biggest difference is the laser therapy. I can’t say that the Librela and Osteopen make any...

Oh, so we have a new update! The family would like to meet him! Maybe this weekend, maybe next. That's a great sign, and hopefully means that, once they see him and realise how lovely he is (PLEASE not too much puppy biting, Dex!!) they won't be able to tell the kids no :rofl:

I think one of the things we fight against is the indoctrination we've all had for years. Even now, when someone says "pit bull", I can feel myself wanting to create distance before my brain kicks in and tells me what an idiot I am. Pit bulls are so normal in the USA and make wonderful, kind...

With a puppy, you have a year to get the license if it's a PPP. In this case, we don't know for sure that he is, as we don't know his parentage, so it's a case of waiting and seeing what he looks like when he's grown up. If his build is more like a boxer (which is possible), he won't be PPP. If...

He's not been assessed as a PPP dog yet, so no. He's also not quite over 20kg yet (but give it a few days at the rate he's growing :giggl: ) I don't think PPP licensing makes sense at all. BSL is a nonsense. If there should be any licensing, it should be to ensure that dog owners know what...

Googled. Ah, yeah, so that’s not an option either then 😂

Hah, until he’s finished developing, I wouldn’t risk sending him to the UK in case it turns out he’s a pibble. I’m not familiar with the rules in Germany. Off to Google 😁

Poor Dex has an ouchy nose and needed a stitch. We’re not certain how it happened but …puppy 🤷‍♀️ He had his first vaccines yesterday, too. The vets were very impressed with what a calm puppy he was. It sounds as if the family who found him won’t be taking him. They don’t want a PPP* dog...

Maybe, but unlikely considering geography. It's more likely he's just a run-of-the-mill pibble mix

I dunno. We don't know how old he is, but I think he may have been younger than I first thought. My guess is that he's now about eight weeks. He's growing like an absolute weed, it's incredible how much he's put on in the last fortnight. I think he's going to be bigger than my Labs, other than...

Such a handsome little man, and was a star on our photo shoot this morning. He's so keen to understand what's wanted of him, what a champ! <3
