Penny and Mac are now OAP's and though they still seem fairly supple I think it may be time to pop them onto something like Sacha's Blend or similar. They do get home made BARF and I mix in cold pressed olive oil (Aldi brand, made in Oz and only $19.99 4L) when I make up the big batch of vegie slops. They also get linseed meal sprinkled on their tea in their evenings. I got a 50g pkt of Sacha's Blend in that offer that was advertised on DOL a while back so I have been putting that on their food as well (it smells wonderful :-D ) Is Sacha's the best one to get price/quality wise or is there an alternative that anyone has tried and found helpful?

That is good news Teebs

Penny is the only dog I have had that gets matts on her elbows. I thought I kept them all pretty tangle free (especially their armpits) but I found little matts on her elbows

this is what usually happens to me when I buy stuff...I bought a shower nozzle, on special, it made the water go rainbow colours (It has a rotating lit-up coloured wheel inside)...it worked but had such a high-pitched shriek that we pulled all the guts out and used it to water the garden.

Some of you may be interested...they seem cheap enough. For really cold dogs :D http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/search/heatedpetjackets/?cm_mmc=newsletter-_-20110603-_-search-_-8670

otters, salmon, haggis, oats soaked in scotch, sporrans and bagpipes "Look master, we have slain the drear plaid beastie!"

Try Ebay or 'Quicksales'...I bought some cards from this person in England who sells dog vintage postcards...postage to Oz was only 2 pounds ($3.08357) http://stores.ebay.com.au/k9kards

poor pup and what a couple of drunken skanks

I am pretty sure that somewhere there is a law that cruelty to WHWT is a hanging offense so compounded with the other breeds I would reckon their time upon this earth will be a short one.

yep...PM Nicestman77 is the BEST!

1/2 teaspoon of the herb could be mixed with a little hot water to soften the dried leaves, and added to the dogs wet food daily. I use the dried stems as well and usually leave it to steep overnight You can buy it from Shipards Herb farm, Nambour Qld I have copied & pasted the details she sent to me....50 gram pkts of each herb $10 each and pack and post would be $10 We also have plants of these herbs, as people like to get them growing to have for future use. Here are a couple of suppliers (I originally bought my seeds & dried from Shipard's as they were helpful with info) http://www.herbsarespecial.com.au/free-herb-information.html http://www.herbcottage.com.au/dried-herb-robert.html

A pity Quattro didn't bite his knackers off afterwards.

O Dear, what sad news, poor Maya.

A friend sent me this photo...worth a laugh

If you are having trouble cutting up the tongue just part freeze it then it is easy- peasy to cut.

Hahahaha... #6 photo of the CATS adviser from the Situation Room. What a hoot this photo--->

Yep, thank you for the thank you Jed. Glad you love the quilt (it is just wonderful isn't it)

Plain white vinegar would probably do the trick and kill the yeast, but you could always lash out and buy some of that nice balsamic (red or white) from Aldi or even better buy some organic non-pasteurised apple cider vinegar (with the 'mother' in it) that way you can pop a little into their food or use it yourself when making your own mayo...it is a great cure-all (bit expensive though...around $8-->$10 for 500 ml)

I did a quick Google search and this is about the cheapest http://herbsupplies.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=93 Some of the other shops are selling it for $6-->$8 for 50g

Yep, they pay their own way

Deals Direct have some on special, I hope it's ok to pop in the link here http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/search/newpetbeds/?cm_mmc=newsletter-_-20110513-_-search-_-6589

I know I am going off topic and apologise but what is the 'stem cell' process ? I would also like more info...if you could possibly be kind enough to start a new thread so we don't hijack this one...sounds interesting.

they may have eaten it because it has hairy leaves...they may find it's the ideal way to make them huck-up. Penny always eats the leaves of a pretty pink fluffy flowered creeper, the leaves on it are serrated and provide a good stomach irritant for the hoped-for huck.

try Green Harvest Sublime...here is the link for the comfrey (it's 4th down)it's unable to be sent to WA & TAS http://greenharvest.com.au/Plants/SpringFoodPlants.html Shipards herb farm also sell it http://herbs-to-use.com/herbs-for-sale/herbs-culinary-other-spices-aromatics-companion-plants.html

Yep, I found that interesting as well Frodo's mum, we look at info and oatmeal shampoo is usually recommended to soothe itchy skin...it would be fine if it's not a yeast problem. It's good to know that the old faithful vinegar (cider would be best I reckon) has been mentioned in the video.
