Poorly Pooch

[Dizmo]

We have a poorly pooch under our roof. Rufus the Poodle is not very well.

[grasscarp]

Sorry to hear that Diz. However, I am sure that you are looking after him well.

[Psybbo]

Is he the one who bit you?

[pusskin]

Keep away from his nashers diz, he may bite you again?

[Dizmo]

Sorry for the late reply, was cooking up some chicken nuggets (so posh eh).

We think he has colitis, he's due at the vets tonight. He isn't the one who bit me but I have spent time sat in the kennel with the pooch that attacked me and I've managed to get a collar on him (without force) and a harness and take him for a walk. He even let me pick him up. I did go in with chain mail gloves on but then decided that 1. I can't work with them on and 2. He is going to think I'm scared of him which I was a little but we managed it :) I've got a video of me walking him and I can probably upload a still of me holding him.

[Psybbo]

I'd love to see it, diz, and I'm really glad he has now taken to you

[Dizmo]

Bare with, I will upload a few stills if I can. I'm going to finish eating first though.

Here are some photos but they are only of the CCTV feed. I'm still working on the camera video given that it's 1,032MB.

The quality isn't amazing but then again these are just sideline cameras. I can't show you the rest due to privacy reasons.

[Dizmo]

Doesn't look like much of a biter does he, but he certainly got hold of me.

[Psybbo]

Lovely pictures, Diz, thank you, he looks like a terrier?

[Dizmo]

He is, give me 5 minutes, I'm going to bust out the SLR and get a better photo. I need to feed him anyway.

[Psybbo]

Lovely steel sculptures as well.

My mum just turned up so she could take some photos, they were only taken 10 minutes ago :) she's gone with Rufus to the vets now but even she thinks it's colitis because of the smell. So looks like anti b's are going to be in order. Here's the photos...

He now gives my mum his paw also. This dog was badly treated by his previous owner. We have a canine behavior specialist coming soon to assess him.

P.S I've just looked at the photos, I look terrible. Ignore my fat ugly grill and focus on the pooch :/

[Dizmo]

Psybbo: They are the deciduous variety lol. They rust also. The laser cutters made a big mistake by cutting our leaves on a mild steel bed :( since I'd already made them my mum decided to plant them in the garden - god knows why!

[grasscarp]

Stop putting yourself down Dizmo. You both look great. Nice watch!

[Dizmo]

We are going to try and get him back into the house. I don't want anyone thinking we keep our dogs outside in a scruffy looking kennel because we don't. He had to be down here because he was unmanageable in the house with the other dogs.

[Dizmo]

grasscarp: My wife bought me that, least I got something out of her :/ it did cost a lot of money but I do tend to give it a beating! I weld, grind and even take a shower with it on.

[Psybbo]

He looks a real scrapper, ready to take on anybody but very sweet at the same time. Hey that looks like a large place you have. How many dogs have you got?

[Dizmo]

Hmms I'd have to count them :)

Here is where they stay...

The last photo is of Charlie. He looks sweet and he is a cracking dog but he does bite. Not us though.

[Dizmo]

We have about 1.5 aches of land

[Dizmo]

Ignore the blue roll paper on the floor of the first image. I had to leave it there in case my mum needed to see the 'blood' from her poodle. There is only Jimmy that lives in an outside kennel. Oh and yeah he is a scrapper just as Charlie is!
