Loving my Oldies

I always warm their food and if it needs to be a little bit moister, I always have on hand home made chicken stock. I'm thinking of giving PAL a go - LOL. Years ago I had a friend staying with me with a couple of her dogs and she fed them PAL. Unfortunately, she never went on a poop drive and I can't tell you what the back yard smelt like as I cleaned up after her dogs every morning and night.

Where's the "slaps head" emoticon. That's the one I was thinking of when I bought All Natural by mistake. I couldn't understand why the dogs didn't like it as I have used Nature's Gift before. The cans must look similar.

But you can't feed dogs cat food all the time? Surely just as an occasional thing and to help tablets go down . I don't know the "gift" one - but I'll have a look when I'm out grocery shopping today.

I give my dogs mostly raw food and sometimes mix in rice (cooked in home made chicken stock) and vegetables and Royal Canin dry food. My dogs have always been difficult eaters and generally look at me as though I am trying to poison them. See this thread as proof - LOL http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?show...=168141&hl= They certainly aren't fading away and are playful, happy and enjoying their walks. However, Danny is the only one who has eaten a square meal for about the last 3-4 days. I thought I would just get a couple of cans of food to see if I could tempt them. So, if you HAD to feed your dogs canned food, what would you choose. I tried All Natural when Rover was fading, but none of them liked that. At my wit's end. It was such a pleasure fostering Mundy and Lolly as they LOVED their food; Mundy would get so excited that he used to do a little drumming movement with his front legs . I hoped their enthusiasm would rub off on mine - but no such luck.

Such a lovely girl - and the two-leged ones are pretty cute too

OMG, how fascinating. Video please.

But didn't they make it just for her?

Cosmolo, please excuse my lack of response. I didn't see this. I got it from Bunnings, but they had to order it in for me and I had to buy a box of 6 - lol. I have given one away and I have one in my car and one in the lounge for the couch. It isn't really meant for clothese, but I use it. You would need to be careful with delicate fabrics and knits though. I don't know how you can manage the months of waiting for your special pup, but I guess if you want the lineage, you will have to have super dooper patience .

Every time I saw your name in a thread, I wondered how you were - and now I know . You have done one of the hardest things imaginable and now you must be strong. Yes, your heart is breaking and ours break for you too. Nothing we can say will really take the pain away, but when you feel bad and sad read these posts and know that many many people understand and feel very deeply for you.

Oh god! I hope they didn't think they'd get Cecil Trying for the sympathy vote? Delusional people can be so dangerous. They will try another angle, I would imagine. So hopefully someone will be on the ball again to suss them out and to be able to expose them again.

What a worry. They do sound as though they have mental problems, but would present as perfectly normal most of the time .

Can a little red spitz cross from a pound enter?

I'm talking about ME . I wanna be adopted and looked after. ;) ;) Cynthia you look like you are doing a pretty good job of looking after yourself and besides you are not hairy enough for me Now you are having a go at me ....... just 'cos I'm a bit ( ;) ) porky and have skinny hair. Sorry barfsfan, I'm bad for derailing your thread. Have you gone to www.petrescue.org.au? How is the search progressing?

I'm talking about ME :D . I wanna be adopted and looked after.

What excellent advice; she sounds a down to earth and straight forward vet. Ditto: :D

I do hope it is something that a course of XYZ will fix the problem. The thing to remember with drops is to discard them after 28 days. Vets and my optometrist have told me same thing. Optometrist said that using the drops after that time is probably doing the eye (human and doggy) more harm than good. Not good when each month I am throwing away a half used bottle of Cosopt which I get on prescription for Rover. Next time I have to fill the script, I'm going to see if it comes in pipettes.

Does she take thems wiv only two legs? :D

Oh that is so sad . April is saying, "But mum, I promised to love you forever." And you are having none of it ...... "But April, you looked at the boy next door." Sob Sob.

And you wouldn't be alone KJ. Stunning stuff

I feel so sad for you and I just looked at the photo. What a darling little girl. Must have broken your heart, but as the others have said . . . . . Just for comparisons, have a look at the photos in this thread. Admittedly this little guy is a cross, but just posting this so you can see a healthy happy little pup of about the same age. http://www.dolforums.com.au/index.php?showtopic=173923

You're never too young to become a poster on DOL and children are computer literate very early these days.

I have been lucky enough to have tdierikx visit on a few occasions and so have some lovely photos of my dogs and occasionally I feature too On the deck trying not to get a tonguey from Danny with Tamar and Jeune looking on. Obviously has been a long day for Jeune: A bit of self with Danny and Tamar: Getting kisses from Rover:

:D

How's Chimney Boy ? :D

Tamar when I took her out of Canterbury Pound - absolutely terrified poor baby: Tamar believing I have poisoned her breakfast - not a very good photo because of shade and sunlight, but not a stained hair to be seen: I also had two Maltese before Tamar with the same result for the male, with the little girl being left with a bit of staining, but she died at 3 and a half.
