Pets... dogs rule!

An update on my dog, Buddha.
Vet report this morning was V positive. Blood transfusion worked a treat, he's no longer hemorrhaging internally. Anti venom seems to be working too.
Too weak to eat, can now hold down fluids though.
Vet said... "Purely because he is so exceptionally fit & healthy, he's now a solid 75+% chance of getting through this"
I'm starting to feel a little better.
Can't visit him till tomorrow...
Fuk. I miss him.

Bought Buddha home today:aplastao:

Feels sooo goood!

Fuk he's sick though, he can only take about 20 steps before he collapses. It's a 6week recovery period...

Seeing him in full flight will be the best Christmas present EVER!

So glad he's home.

Both my kids & my two dogs are at home with me right now. All sharing beautiful loving space & time. Life's good.

BHQ, Thank You for your support guys, I don't really understand how or why, but a group of random usernames on a footy forum does actually help... it really makes a difference.

Thanks. My son looks a bit munted but it’s bloody hard to get 3 kids & 2 dogs to sit still.

Credit to the photographer. This is the 3rd time we’ve used her and she’s awesome. Had a deal going for a Christmas shoot and it was like $130 for 20 full res shots. We just paid her $10 a week for 3 months, did the shoot last Saturday. That’s just a sample shot she’s sent while she works on the full batch, we haven’t seen any others yet.

So it’s that time in my boys life that he needs a good dog. I plan to have two dogs, but will start with one pup and then a rescue dog in a year or so.

I love kelpies, dingo crosses, staffys, boxers, ridgebacks, cattle dogs - almost in that order.

Recently though, I’ve been convinced that one smaller dog might be a good way to start and I’ve fallen head over heals for my mates French bulldog.

What I really don’t want is an oily/smelly dog. I had a beautiful short haired black Labrador with an almost human disposition as my childhood dog, but she stank to high heaven even with weekly baths.

What should I know about buying a frenchy, as I’m aware there can be particular health issues to beware of? My partner works with a breeder of these dogs, but I don’t know much about them.
