Before I forget to ask, is there anyone whose baby has grown out of needing a high chair to eat and can donate it for puppy Ned? Ned's condition means he has to eat sitting upright, and while a Bailey Chair (example shown) will be needed when he's fully grown, for now a baby high chair will be perfect.
Ned's a gorgeous puppy, very sweet and friendly, and many would-be adopters have fallen for his charm only to be put off when learning about his eating problem. It's a great shame because other than the short time during and just after eating that he has to sit upright to make sure the food goes down properly, Ned's perfectly normal, happy and healthy.
You may remember that sisters Willa and Wonton were adopted together not long ago, but ended up coming back because the resident dog, also an HKDR graduate, was upset - by Willa only as it turned out. After the sisters were returned we also noticed that Willa seemed to be uncomfortable and had become bad-tempered at times, even with Wonton. Coincidentally, just after discussing the problem with Iris and talking about arranging for a vet check with possible X-ray to see what was wrong, the dogs' adopter turned up at the Homing Centre asking if they could take Wonton back. Normally we wouldn't consider something like this, but having seen Willa's odd behaviour I agreed, so Wonton is now adopted again with Willa hopefully following as soon as we can fix whatever the problem is.
Again while I remember, I'm always in need of dog treats and chews for my Lamma dogs if you'd like to donate in kind rather than money. A lot of the dogs that ended up staying with me were the "scaredy pups", and while they're happy with their lives they don't like to go out further than the garden, so treats and chews are exciting for them.
