Loving my Oldies

My boyfriend just sent me an email about this! apparently of his co worker suggested this to him! I probably know the co-worker as I have been sprouting on about Optrex since Nammu was a pup and that was 1993-4 - LOL

That is interesting as well. I am going to try that with Mufti, because I already give him drops for dry eye, but he is chewing his feet and bottom and turning them red. Mufti loves his food, so I can't see any problem getting him to eat it either. I suppose the paste works so well because it is reduced ... as opposed to just putting raw tomatoe in their food ?? I just hate it when I see all those little Maltese, Shih Tzus and crosses thereof in the pounds with great globs of muck and staining around their eyes, poor little things. So easy to take care of.

I was going to PM you about this. I have found that simple eyewash from chemist COMPLETELY cured my Maltese dogs of red stain. It is called Optrex. Buy the bottle, not the drops and just wash her eyes daily in a little bit on a cotton wool ball. My Maltese had blood red "cheeks" and after a while it was all gone. I suppose the drops would work the same, but I still use it and every so often give all the dogs a wipe over with it.

Good morning, Jed. As Harminee say, another day towards healing and getting better.

Look at their gorgeous blankets . That ain't no Japanese Spitz. That's a teacup, mountain climbing white bear. That really are very lovely little dogs, Vi. :D

Queen Penny - Happy Birthday, Ma'am.

I agree with amypie Get working on convincing us properly CW :D

Hmmmm, I have to confess I am a laugher at "fart" jokes, but not when they are confusing a dog . I must be getter crotchety in my old age. I watched the other one of that little dog and another and they are very clever little dogs but very skinny

Oh Vi!! Such wonderful news - you must be over the moon. It is just the best when you see your dogs happily playing and you have the added joy of knowing it is helping to make Charlie better. For Nurse Emmy

Don't forget that your candle stays alight for only 48 hours.

Good morning, Jed. Another day and another small step towards getting better. ;) Good morning, too, to all those people who are keeping her world going. Off to check that my candle is still burning.

It is, along with lip licking, turning head, lowering eyes and a lot of other things according to Turid Rugass. I started reading her little book again last night and I have been using the yawning technique with Sari this morning. Sari gets very agitated (barks and runs around madly) when the other dogs start running around and having a bit of fun. When this happened this morning, I was yawning so much that I was just about passing out . But it worked !! She settled much more quickly than usual and sometimes, this agitation has ended in a fight. Everyone calm again ;) Not that this is helping Kirty - LOL.

Extraordinary! I cannot understand how vets can be so offhand [read negligent ] when dogs are so ill and need to be on a drip. Hope Staffy Boy gets well soon.

Eyes off Chi Chi . I'll be up that way in August and if anyone is going to creep in in the dead of night for a bit of dognapping, it will be ME !!

Only if she is well mannered and covers her mouth when she yawns. This is my understanding since reading "On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals" by Turid Rugaas. Definitely a little book to have close at hand. But it isn't getting heated, Ravyk ;)

OMG!! They sure know how to cuddle into each other - what a beautiful photo. Hmmm ..... first of all you had only two. Then you heard of Penny so you thought you'd help --- You definitely couldn't have three dogs Then you heard of Banshee so you thought you'd help --- ;) ;) You definitely couldn't have four dogs Yellowgirl, you is HOOKED big time. I reckon they are four very happy and lucky little creatures.

Thinking of Tyson and his ever loving family. The people who own dogs who do this sort of damage must be brought to justice.

Hoping Tyson has made an advancement towards full health.

Very gentle strokes for Penny and good vibes for her quick recovery.

Good morning Jed. I'm checking up on you and giving cyber cuddles to all your babies. ;) ;)

How wonderful to have all those dogs and plenty of room. Do they all get on?

Great photos of beautiful dogs. I'll have George, please.

What fun! They love the long grass.

Yes - Jane, her family and much loved animals are in my thoughts constantly. A wonderful blessing - purr long and loudly little cat.
