Oh Perse so awfully sorry dear little green-eyed cat

some more interesting info here https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-28/dog-tick-sickness-disease-on-rise-ehrlichiosis/13096270

I am so sorry LMO, my heart goes out to you. I know how much you loved the little one and though he was old and it was his time it doesn't make it any easier. What a lucky little chap to have you in his life, you are the best ma to all your oldies

Well that's just silly but then again I have friends that always adopt girl dogs, they think boy dogs are a disgusting but they crack me up with their boy-stuff (especially their back feet scrape antics after a wee or poo )

This is on FB this morning @Westie mum it's a boy though https://www.facebook.com/FriendsHCAS/photos/a.596850113661228/3967717396574466/

Lovely old fella, what a good time he would have had with you the last 9 months, having fun and feeling safe and loved

my dogs are old but mostly I feed raw (Zara McDandie gets some Urinary S/O a couple of times a week) and I add the VAN to their tea each evening this one they love it. I also give Henry and Maxi the Health Booster here They do very well on it. Contact VAN and ask them for their advice, they are really helpful https://vetsallnatural.com.au/contact/

Join this FB group @LilZee3000, helpful people (well mostly) someone there may also suggest another good place within 3 hours of your home, always post photos of your dog for better results AUSTRALIAN Caravanning/Camping Travelling With Dogs https://www.facebook.com/groups/356094021160396/

yes LMO, the infection from that sure would have put him off his tucker, hopefully he'll be on the road to recovery now

I have tried to cut and paste the article but there are big gaps between some paragraphs so I just copied the piccies podcasts within the link are worth /listening to https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-01-11/pekingese-dog-looty-from-beijing-palace-to-queen-victorias-pet/12876904

K-Mart have them here BCF Here and store locator Here and Scumtree Here

Henry (and before Henry it was Mac) is on Propalin and doing well on it, my vet said to give it to Wee Maxi also, when the old boy got up from resting or just standing, the pee would drip out of him like a leaky tap. I decided to try putting him on Incontinence Mix first here then Incontinence Support as maintenance, it works really well (I can't find the Incontinence Support on the McDowell website so you may need to email them to ask when you have finished the first bottle). Wee maxi gets 10 drops on his food morning and night and I'm pretty happy with it. It'd definitely be wort contacting them to get further info B

they just look so idiotic when they play, so uncoordinated the silly buggers

love the little photo-bombing goat in the first piccie

Yes @sandgrubber I could have done the same and spent thousands with my girl but it would only have given her 3-8 months and she would have had a long recovery from her surgery, we sometimes just need to say goodbye sooner than (not much) later. I do feel for you and know the hell you are going through Libby but I think you know what you need to do soon

I wasn't aware of that 'rule' @asal Who in their right mind would think such an incredibly stupid idea? ps is '12 moths' the same as 1 year? lol

link to Arizona State University study here https://asunow.asu.edu/20200528-discoveries-yes-your-dog-wants-rescue-you In the movies, the hero is buried underground in a box. He cries for help. What to do. His best friend, a dog, hears him calling for help. The dog seems to understand the man is in despair. He stars digging, the true hero of the film. Are dogs really like this? Researchers from Arizona State University tried out this scenario in real life, with 60 pet dogs and their owners. None of the dogs were trained in search and rescue. Ready to brave the wild and rescue his owner … or maybe just rugged up against the cold. Photo: Getty According to a statement from university: In the main test, each owner was confined to a large box equipped with a lightweight door, which the dog could move aside. The owners feigned distress by calling out “help,” or “help me” Beforehand, the researchers coached the owners so their cries for help sounded authentic In addition, owners weren’t allowed to call their dog’s name, which would encourage the dog to act out of obedience, and not out of concern for their owner’s welfare. The researchers say that about one-third of the dogs rescued their distressed owner. But after taking various factors into account, it turned out that 84 per cent of the digs wanted to rescue their owners. To read more, go to Arizona State University. Woof!

O, just look at her flying ears! What a lovely alert fit looking little dog Jules, she will help full the hole in your heart and make your Christmas pretty special. Congratulations from me

it'd be a plan to also check out your local tip shop if there's one nearby

did you check Scumtree? https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-pets/vic/dog+strollers/k0c18433l3008844

What a disappointment for you...you may need to shelve your Christmas plans as heading off to Perth seems to be a real covid 'pain the the you-know-what' situation (again) https://www.wa.gov.au/organisation/department-of-the-premier-and-cabinet/covid-19-coronavirus-travel-and-quarantine
