Thanks mate
She's 12
Our pittie unfortunately never made it past 8 years

Dreading the day that one day will come
But such is the circle of life I guess
We must just give them our all and treat them as best as we can
Our Kharma made it to 14. One of the worst days of my life. Held her in my arms till the bitter end. But we had to make the decision. She had heart failure and was in a lot of discomfort. Cherish every moment bud!

Clinton had a dog and a cat but said that he got on better with the Palestinians than he did with the pets.

There were others with no dogs such as James K Polk and some who had other pets such as horses but not dogs. Just did quite an interesting Wikipedia search on the subject.
 
It's quite telling that Trump and Melania are the only First family not to have a dog in the White House. Say no more ...
This is what they had:

And no its not Ivanka Trump waking up in the morning
 
My pitbull, Kai showing off his muscles. 2 years, 7 months old now, been on a raw diet since I got him at 6 weeks old. IMG_20210406_085905.jpg IMG_20210406_085923.jpg
 
The best dog in the world. . . according to myself and my kids at least. The sweetest caring dog ever, our 1.5y old amstaff. Just look at that face

Cant believe its the same dog that i posted puppy pics about a few months ago

Boksburg dog rescue: Staffie rescuing drowning pup will make your day
https://www.thesouthafrican.com/lifestyle/boksburg-dog-pool-rescue-viral-video-watch/
15 April 2021

"A video of a staffie saving her Pomeranian friend from drowning in a swimming pool in Boksburg on the East Rand of Gauteng has gone viral in South Africa.

Yes, the seven-year-old staffie named Jessie, saved her friend, Chucky, 13, from almost drowning after he had fallen into the pool last Friday 9 April.

STAFFIE RESCUING DROWNING PUP GOES VIRAL IN SA
According to TimesLive, Byron Thanarayen and his wife Melissa could not understand why Chucky, the Toy Pom, had a wet head and dry body. They were shocked when they eventually found out what happened on Friday 9 April 2021.

After looking for clues, they decided to check the security camera footage, which confirmed Melissa’s hunch — but with a twist.

The footage reveals how Jessie, a rescue adopted from the SPCA in Boksburg four years ago, runs to the edge of the pool and after trying for 34 minutes while Chucky is desperately swimming around because he can’t get out on the steps, she eventually managed to pull the Chucky out of the water by using her teeth.

Byron said they are now installing a pool cover..."

You got to love Staffies. For me personally, theres no other dog in the world with such kindness and an urge to protect their family.
Best dog breed in the world

Feeling very sorry for herself. She almost ripped a nail out so off we went to the vet. Arrived home with a bright purple bandage. By the next day it had been ripped off. Our local vet is on sick leave. The vet in Darling, a town nearby, who helped Kena, was off so I went to the pharmacy to buy a bandage.

I did a First Aid course many years ago and I passed Theory with flying colours. Practicals - not so much. As you can see.

We went back to the vet today and the bandages have been removed, but if she licks her wound (the nail had to be removed) I have to put a cone around her neck.

She breaks a nail about twice a year and how it happens I simply do not know. There's nothing that I can see here that it's catching on.
 
Ragnar just under 2 years ... no raw diet ( wife not happy with me when i made the suggestion hhahahaah. She asked me if i will feed the kid raw food... needless to say, i lost that dabate ) never the less still a Unit. Just lots of playing, walking,swiming and digging up the beach...

Yes, I can smell the rain, but that doesn't mean that I have to go out in it!

It's not only the torrential rain that we've been having, but galeforce winds too - and she's terrified of the wind. Hard to believe that she's a Capetonian! For more than 24 hrs she refused to go out. I put newspaper down in the guest bathroom, but she never used it. Wish I had such control!
