I think you both should share a tub of icecream!!!

Old Gertie , when younger would wait ..and when we put a hose down a mouse hole outside.. she would despatch them as they blundered out - quick as a wink :)

I think I would bath in it! ( but do an all over wipe instead ;) ) It has made SUCH a difference to the mess my skin was ..... after spending a fortune on various tubes /pots .. a lovely yellow tea does the job !

I will also buy from steve next time :) I am SO happy with the stuff !! It is GREAT to stop heat rash /itches for hoomans :)

Lots of puppies!! :)

yay for Astro :) it will be such a relief to have him home :)

Oh My Gosh!!!!! WELL DONE, REBA here's hoping the little bubs are all ok ..and will grow & develop . It is SO good that Reba managed all by herself :)

:) Glad she's eating & toileting and moving .

yes. best of luck .

Icecubes & Apple - for Ess&Don

I underestand BSL - it was your original post with no details which seemed a bit odd ;)

yes ..and I won't be joining. I guess a closed group makes it more pleasant for the members ....

yes. Something may have torn off ..or be cracked .. she will feel better with company :)

her ribs may have taken a hit .. I would suggest another vet visit if this continues .... If breathing is painful ..l can understand her not going to sleep RR is fine to use .. just 2 or 3 drops on her gum every 20 mins.

:) ignore him when you greet him .. just say "hello XYZ" in passing .... save pats etc for when he is sitting/lying down / is obeying you ;) don't use a high pitched "babytalk" voice .... :) it is pretty normal ..and takes management to help him .

Agree - it is all extra work and worry ... I'm lazy , and would go a "pack" of zapp traps ;)

..and which "good cause " does the money go to? Seems a bit odd ....

coogie - I too am concerned that there is a whole 'parcel' of parvo lying there ..... waiting for rain or earthworks to spread it around .....

Do you have any Rescue Remedy ?

poor old girl , Kirislin .. like us humans ,when we have a bad fall - it shakes us up considerably. Did the vet check her gums etc for colour ? She may well be in shock ....

:( What a stressful life for everyone. Having a dog who bites/threatens humans is not on. I am not about to comment on whether his behaviour is "trying to be alpha" ..or is coming from somewhere else- that is for a professional to personally judge. I will say that you need the BEST assessment possible for this dog who is now becoming mature ..and is at a crossroads, and is dangerous. having siblings with aggression problems points to a genetic component .. and he was perhaps dealt a very poor blow in teh gene pool It seems he has some very good behaviours too :) That makes the aggression even more upsetting. I don't know tassie ..so cannot recommend anyone ... but know you are considering the options , including euthanasia . Trouble is with putting him on lead/in another room/.muzzling ..is that it's all "bandaid" and bandaids come off unexpectedly . Hopefully someone will suggest a reputable and professional person in Tas for you , who can assist you at this awful time.

Sending thoughts & s

ouch! poor Feather .... Hope she's only badly bruised & winded .... healing thoughts sent .....

Hoping Reba stays strong , :)

just checking ...
