I have to thank COL too  :luv:  I had awful troubles with Ben when he was young and thought that I really did have a dog from hell  ::)  And yes, my vet (old and experienced) mentioned rage especially in gold/red cockers  :o

With a lot of support from this site (and a few members that know who they are) I got through the 'post puppy depression' and now have an understanding of Ben's behaviour.  He is never going to be an easy dog but we live together in harmony!  A bit of growing up on Ben's part and a bit of learning from me has worked wonders.  Without COL I don't know where we'd be  :luv:

And they are the ones in the know???? 

Murphy is due his booster next month, he has a note on his computerised card thingy me jiggy saying - should be muzzled  ph34r

He's just scared cos a big bad man had to staple his eyelid and then had the distaste to shove a finger up his a**e. I'd probably need muzzled to for future visits  :005:

Hope you're feeling better Millie xx

A clients vet told my client last night that the way to solve her dogs separation anxiety was to remove his vocal chords!  >:D >:D >:D

God thats awful! The trainer from Charlies puppy classes knows someone that had her two dogs de-barked, unbelievable.

Oh my doG: I didn't know such barbaric things were allowed - shudder, shudder  >:D >:D

Yep, all wrong here too - I am always the last one to get fed.   By the time I have finished feeding the animals, I can't be bothered to cook for me      If there were any justice in the world I would be thin   

That sounds familiar  :005:

I guess that vet hadn't treated many cockers then! :005: You only need to step near Ben's feet or tail for him to squeal like a baby. ::)  Oh yes, he feels pain! :005:

We're back to the vets again for 5 for a check up on the wound so god knows how Millies going to react to her  :-\. I will tell her how dominant Millies been the last two days, especially how she rolls around wagging her tail when I'm putting her lamp shade back on  ;) :lol2:. Might ask why the estimate was £160 and the bill on wednesday was £240  :o being as there was no complications and she never needed antibiotics I cant work it out! But the main thing is Millie has recovered really well and the vets thinks it was a thorn causing the lump.

Ditto, hope all went well! Chloe just loves everyone and isn't in the slightest bit bothered about jabs or anything! Wait until the end of the month when we go and see the specialist though! EEEK! The vets we go to now seem lovely, the last one we saw who was more into eyes but not a specialist was great and loved Chloe to bits! Got down on eye level with her and started "talking dog" with her! I don't think anybody could upset Chloe unless she had a stick or chew!  ::)

I can't believe people remove vocal chords though! Shocking!  >:D

Different vet! She was lovely and could tell straight away that Millie was anxious, she knelt down and examined her on the floor and fed her a biscuit  :luv:. Everything looks fine so fingers crossed that is all over now (dissolveable stitches), but she was so nice that I didn't complain - I'm a wuss!  ph34r

I'd be the same, but I would be asking for the nice vet every time from now on!
