[quote=""Brenna""]I didn't stage this picture, I swear! I put down the book to leave the room; I came back and he was like this! Perfect picture opportunity![/quote]

LOL Brenna that is too cute

You should re-name him...Henry, Richard, Geoffrey, John..Trouble is he might start growling at himself

! I know I have a weird sense of humour!

I received a letter from the vet stating...'Dear Barney it is time for your check up and to discuss a date for your desexing....'

I was tempted to send a reply....

Dear Vet,

WOOF WOOF WOOF......*waves paws* WOOF WOOF....time to discuss desexing

...GRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOWWWLLLLLL

I wonder what the vet would've thought....

We had a horror weekend and had to rush Barney to the vets on Friday because he had diarreah(SP?)...and again on Saturday because when I put him out at 10PM he came back in with a HUGE nose and again Sunday because his eyes began to swell. Then Monday he vomitted everywhere

and he has been at the vets since then.

I lost my 14 year old dog Chester in April

which near broke my heart and I was so scared of losing my new pup. The vets took x-rays which were inconclusive but this morning when I phoned the nurse said he had not vomitted that morning and they will phone back at 4PM to see if he is able to keep down his food.

I miss my Barney

ooh I hope Barney is OK. When you say he had a huge nose do you mean he was stung or bitten by something? Which might explain his eyes swelling too. Fingers crossed he recovers.

Awww Bec I'm so sorry! Padfoot and I both hope Barney has a very speedy recovery!

Barney is home

and is doing well....He is on medication and as for the nose, yes it was some type of bug or spider bite so now he wears a muzzle when I put him out because he seems to stick his snozzle into just about everything! Naughty boy! He will also chew and swallow just about anything so poor Barney hates it but the muzzle is best, hopefully it will keep him out of trouble.

Thank you all for your kind thoughts

It really is appreciated.

Whew, glad everything is OK. I was afraid to come back to this post for threat of bad news.

Thanks Misfit

If only dogs could talk but thank goodness the vets figured it all out and he didn't have to have an operation to remove anything...but the vet bill was $500 in just 2 days

..Pray God he doesn't get sick again!

Sonjamarie

Yes I did and I have put it in favourites to buy next week...I have been waiting and waiting for a book on Elizabeth of Austria or Sissi for ages so thanks for the heads up

So glad to hear Barney is ok! Padfoot is the exact same way-if there are any paper products in reach, they are being chewed, torn apart, etc. He is especially manic about magazines!

Glad to hear he's on the mend, they will stick their noses into anything won't they! I always panic when they start chasing bees.....
