  1. being on a longline doesn't mean the fun stops ;) meeting new people- on her level .. LOL After a big day ..a nap's a nap!
  2. if she syringes the slippery elm in(between teeth & cheek - dog has no choice . depending on the bone - dog might need to avoid fat ? or it may be that dog is intolerant to beef , or whatever the bone was ? has dog had all relevant tests for pancreas, etc ?
  3. I hope they do NOT vax a dog who is ill - or may be incubating a virus!!! bad practice if they do. The 'regurgitaion' and the kennel cough could well be two separate issues .. with teh regurgitation - what does she do ..put her head down, and it runs out - does she have a throat spasm - does she cough- do her neck or belly muscles move?
  4. It's very sad now, she is having to turn away kittens which will probably just be dumped - the area being rural poor little things - to maybe grow into ferals and breed many more.
  5. Dear Ralph - there will be many who are sad today
  6. Hope they're ok .... the carpet /underlay/floor ...........weeellll All I can suggest is empty a BIG thing of talcum powder over it ... or an old towel with a heavy weight on top . That will remove part of the surface stuff....
  7. I wish they would at least give a reason .....
  8. Oh Dear - someone will receive extra firearms training , methinks!
  9. County Sheriff Todd Godwin insists that he charged the two PETA workers with larceny. The prosecutor has apparently refused to pursue the case, however, citing insufficient evidence of "criminal intent." Let's try to comprehend this: we have a home surveillance video clearly demonstrating that a van marked "PETA" pulled up to the house of Wilbur Cerate, and that someone took the family's chihuahua, Maya. PETA has reportedly admitted that Maya was killed: they arrived later with a basket of fruit as compensation, says Maya's owner. (For some bizarre reason, PETA thinks that a nice basket of food makes killing pets okay.) Hence, we have what we are told is pretty strong evidence that a crime was committed. An admission of guilt has been alleged. What part of the notion "criminal intent" am I missing here? We also seem to have powerful evidence that the girl who owned Maya is inconsolable. The New York Daily News reports:
  10. Uhmmm? No one told that to my 10 yr old Lab. Don't Say That. EVER AGAIN. ;) ;) once a habit is ingrained, and pleasureable ... ;) As long as he has 'his spot' it should be OK.
  11. Nystagmus ? the eye movement ? Vestibular disease, possibly - or a stroke ? Did the vet mention Vestibular disease? It might pay to phone/visit & ask him . there have been a few posts on here with DOL dogs who have had it - the symptoms fit .
  12. poor old girl - is there a dog chiro somewhere you can get to ? That would be my first thought ...
  13. ha! Chi's have a very annoying bark when they get going :)
  14. Contact Dogs NSW? There are a few people with similar probs at present, it seems .
  15. I would never recommend electric containment for a baby puppy . is there a reason why you cannot make a pen/section of yard with solid or netting? A fence like this also offers protection for a toddler as well - and if netting is small, or tin is used - snakes may be stopped ! a good solid (not soft) crate will be invaluable :) Good thinking :) I really do think a separate 'safe area ' needs be created :) I remember when we we little (also rural) dad fenced off an area off the kitchen ... where we could be relatively safe , but still closely supervised. it was lawn - with a peach tree, some roses ... dogs & kids all loved it :)
  16. My first dog for which I was mostly responsible was a mini foxie - I was about 7 at the time . She saw me thru my school years - and my first dog as an almost adult was a miniX wirehaired dachshund ....Both dogs were tough, and loyal, and , living bush, had plenty of outlet for their energy/hunting instincts .
