Hi, I'm just curious to know if anyone has tried a product called 'Glyde'? If so, is it a product that you would recommend? It's quite expensive so would love to hear from anyone's experience before I try it. Can it be used for early stages of Arthritis as a preventative or is it really just for dogs with advanced arthritis?

GSP's certainly do have a lot of energy, I wouldn't be running him beside a bike just yet, remember dogs need to learn to walk with you, this is an important practice for a dog, it helps to satisfy their migration instinct and allows him to take in the new smells outside his environment, so sometimes it's not just about making him run to drain the energy, there are other ways to do this as well, short bouts of obedience can be very tiring too. GSPs are working dogs and I strongly encourage you to do something with him on a regular basis where he can express that part of him, boredom and excess energy can be key factors for bad behaviours to develop from. I know you mention time is a key factor, I have struggled with it too but once you form a routine it's not so bad. I work full time often long hrs - 12 hr days are not uncommon and drive 40 mins to and from work but will always walk my stafford for 45 mins to an hr, in the dark, rain hail or shine in my gumboots, often with a torch in the darkness of the night - when I decided to bring her into my life - I decided that I was going to make sure that her needs as a dog would be met, it's only fair.

done!

this episode had me bawling in seconds, my first reaction was to turn it off but then I didn't want to be ignorant about the issue, I had to see it but I hated seeing it. Rescue Ink - what a fantastic organisation. I hope that guy and anyone else that has anything to do with hurting an animal dies a slow, painful death. It's just so wrong and nothing upsets me more.

ohhh blerrrrrrrk! I was just enjoying my dinner! I knew I was asking for trouble when I read that post! LOL! Truly disgusting boy doggies!

Second that! Julija is fantastic and SUCH a lovely person too!

Its' very important also that your dog learns to cope with spending time alone without you, this will lessen the stress they go through when there are periods of time they can't be with you, as much as we would like them to be!

I would try Eagle Pack, it's an excellent dry food and my dogs love it. Their coats are shiny, they have heaps of energy and their poo's are nice and firm. I also feed raw meaty bones three times a week - a lamb shank, chicken carcass or wings/necks to mix it up with the odd tin of sardines and yoghurt from time to time. It's just a matter of trying out different brands and seeing which gives you the best result. Good Luck! :D

Stella sleeps mostly on the bed, near my feet and sometimes in the bed when this goes undetected by me, since it's been hot she's been sleeping on the cool floor in the bathroom. If we have people over and it's late she will actually come and tell me that she is ready for bed by sitting as far away from me but closest to the bedroom and she will stare at me until people leave and I go to bed..hehe

WRONG on so many levels! She shouldn't be considering a dog if that's her view. A rabbit would be a better choice for her I think. She can give it all the vegetables she wants!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! how gorgeous!! I want to smooch him bad!

Hi Erny, They sell roo tails at Maroondah Produce in Ferntree Gully. From memory you get two 2 ft long pieces for $4.50.

Same goes for French Bulldogs - they are $3,000 on average. One day I hope to own one if I can afford it. ;)

Signed. What a disgusting, pathetic excuse for a human being.
