And we now are the proud owners of a puppy. A girl rhodesian ridgeback - labrador cross to be exact. 4 and a half months old.
The pound is a very, very dangerous place.
When we went to pick up Callie, after she had been spayed, it's all we could do to stop Tony's Mum adopting a deerhound she fell in love with. She already has a dog, cat, cockatoo and fish.
Anyhow, Callie is gorgeous. She's a tan colour, with the ridge on her back from the rhodesian side. Up to my knee already, so I guess she's going to be a biggun'.

Oooooh, I'd considered getting a ridgeback. Congratulations, and I can't wait to see the pictures.

Note the black object in the background of this photo. That was my flip flop. Now it appears it is a chew toy. As are my toes. I think my puppy may be a foot fetishist.

We came home after 3 hours of leaving the puppy alone to find a large hole in the garden where a reticulation head used to be...
Puppy was literally in the doghouse for a while. But now all has been forgiven and tails are wagging.
She managed to look so woeful from her kennel.. as if she had been beaten for days on end, instead of growled at and sent to bed. Puppy eyes indeed.

She is a strict kennel dog. We have enough trouble with the covers with just Tony and me in bed... I hate to think what it would be like with a dog as well!
Mack - we do have a chew bone we bought from a pet store (for "medium" chewy dogs) but I have also heard about things you put food in and the dog has to lick and chew to get the food out. I think that might be good for her.
She re-dug the hole overnight... Off to the RSPCA to get her stitches out today, so I think we'll ask for advice on stopping digging. If its possible.
But she is gorgeous. Posts: 4393 | Registered: Aug 2003

Put cayenne in the hole. Be generous. Every time she digs a new hole, cayenne it too.

I get absolutely retarded around dogs. If you want to turn me into a gibbering fool in a span of mere seconds, just shove a puppy in my lap.

Congratulations! I've always liked rhodesian ridge backs. I can't wait to see a picture.
