A year already - where does the time go?

Thanks guys.

She wasn't so lovely the other day when she eat my shoe, she's going through a chewing stage at the moment. She's eaten a quarter of the way up my kitchen doorframe!!! So carry on like that missus, and you won't see your 2nd birthday

Happy birthday Xara. I have a couple of "frayed" door frames. Keep saying I'm going to have new ones, but now we have the new monster not much point for a while. Am I right in thinking you are hoping to breed form Xara in the future, in which case if you are anything like me you will be plucking up courage to have her hips done soon.

Thanks MM. Exactly, no point in replacing frame for her to chew a new one - bugger she is being!! You'd think they'd chew when they're real puppies wouldn't you. Blue did the same when he was about a year, he used to eat the duvets!!

Yep, she can have her hips scored anytime now. I've got enough on my plate at the moment with getting "mares in foal" so I'll just wait a month or so, then she can go in. She has an umbilical hernia which while she's out am hoping they can do that to???

She's shedding her coat like mad at the moment. I've had staffies for the last number of years who don't really shed, I must have filled a bin liner this weekend, brushing her non stop.
 
Shame you're not nearer to us. Our vet is one of the few who does hips under a sedative not a GA, he is great, can also predict usually within 1 or 2 what the score will be. But I suppose if you are going to have the hernia sorted at the same time its worth having a GA. Buffy had her hernia done earlier this year when she was spayed. Otherwise I would have left it. Good luck with the scores when you get round to it ( mine are usually booked in for their first birthday, I'm paranoid

Yes it would be great to do it under sedation rather than GA. They're such big dogs, it worries the life out of me. I'm not really sure if I need to get the hernia done but it's quite big so maybe I should. It doesn't seem to bother her at all.

Fingers crossed her score will be ok, my neighbour had to wait 6 weeks for her labs scores to come back. If she doesn't score well she will be spayed, no doubt about that.
 
Aw, lovely. Happy Birthday, Xara. Did you get any tasty meaty goods from your Mum?

I must get a picture for you of the new German Shepherd at our dog park--it's a retired Slovakian police dog and is such a class act. These are its first months playing with toys, and the dog is eight-years-old
