I feel like it's only english that has so many variations on grandparent names. Most languages seem to have one name for paternal grands and one name for maternal ones. Although my French mother became Mimi because Dawn couldn't say "Mamie" 😆

I'm putting money on Oma! Congratulations, Anne, that's some lovely news.

So it's not an insurance issue if it came down in a storm? Our back boundary fence came down in a storm when Dawn was a baby. Our insurance company liaised with their landlord, and the cost of the new fence was split between the two, no cost to us or the tenant. Clearly it's different in the...

I thought the same as Helen, just fix it yourself and then at least it's done. I would definitely photograph the fence, the dogs coming through, the dates etc, and then document the attempts at contact. Potentially you can claim it back in small claims court? Or just eat the cost and consider...

Happy birthday Poppy! Thank you for sharing those lovely photos ❤

Lay down towels? Xena has her Kongs outside, weather permitting, but the towels go down if she has them inside.

(I'm aware that I've probably missed a lot of backstory, so take what I say with a grain of salt) - you don't have to brush things under the rug. You don't have to just put up with it because "that's the way they are". But have strong boundaries. You know that you can't rely on them after...

Oh dear, is she trying to ferment it or something? Hopefully you get some peace of mind from the vet 🤞

Ah Candy, the first time Xena ate a banana skin she vomited several times after the initial purge. It was a long night, but she was fine.

Couldn't have you getting all the attention now, could he! Seriously though, what a doofus 🤦 I hope that your leg is better, sounds like the last thing you needed was a dash to the vet.

@Shaz82 one of the pups isn't being collected by his new family until later this week.

Thinking of you both today :hug:

One of the teenagers that I work with has had a very tough life. He's currently in foster care. But despite all of the many challenges in his way, he's just so positive and optimistic and funny. Today he just had a really good day - asked lots of questions in science and he was being silly...

All the Rivers that I know are NORTY, but they're also all boys...but River is also growing up with Uncle Benson 😂 Hopefully her mum's sensible genes will win 😜 That last photo is so lovely, sleek and shiny happy dogs.

Xena's eaten the odd banana skin in her younger days, and they always resulted in a massive puke, never out the other end.

I'm glad to hear that you haven't let all that refinement and education go to your head, Carbón :rock:

I also think you're doing the right thing by getting it removed, and I'm sure that Molly will be fine with the surgery.

That's very scary, but good that you got her vaccinated so quickly and at low cost. Dogs are only vaccinated against lepto here if they live/travel north of Lake Taupo, but should it ever make its way down here I wouldn't hesitate to get Xena vaccinated - we have some honking enormous water rats...

Congratulations to you and Molly! It's so lovely that you've found your "thing" with her, and having friendly rally people is even better.

My collars arrived today! The parrot one exceeds expectations, it looks even better than I'd hoped! Sadly, she sent me the wrong collar - the El Muerto Day of the Dead and not the Old Bonehead Day of the Dead, which is a real bummer because that was the one I was most jazzed about. It's not...
