A Day from the Diary of a Young Dog. 7:00 A. M. — Woke up feeling rather below par, owing to disturbed rest. Hardly energy enough to stretch myself. In the middle of the night a strange man came in by the kitchen window very quietly with a bag. I chummed up to him at once. He was nice to me and I was nice to him. He got me down a piece of meat that I could not reach myself. While I was engaged on this he, took a whole lot of silver things and put them into the bag. Then, as he was leaving, the brute — I believe now it was an accident — trod on my toe, making me yelp with pain. I bit him heartily, and he dropped his bag and scurried off through the window again. My yelping soon woke up the whole house, and in a very short time old Mr. Brown and young Mr. Brown appeared. They at once spot the bag of silver. They then declare I have saved the house and make no end of fuss with me. I am a hero. Later on Miss Brown came down and fondled me lots, and kissed me, and tied a piece of pink ribbon round my neck, and made me look like a fool. What’s the good of ribbon, I should like to know? It’s the most beastly tasting stuff there ever was. 8:30. — Ate breakfast with difficulty. Have no appetite. 8:35. — Ate kittens’ breakfast. 8:36. — An affair with the cat (the kittens’ mother). But I soon leave her, as the coward does not fight fair, using claws. 9:00. — Washed by Mary. A hateful business. Put into a tub and rubbed all over — mouth, tail, and everywhere—with filthy, soapy water, that loathsome cat looking on all the while and sneering in her dashed superior way. I don’t know, I am sure, why the hussy should be so conceited. She has to clean herself. I keep a servant to clean me. At the same time I often wish I was a black dog. They keep clean so much longer. Every finger-mark shows up so frightfully on the white part of me. I am a sight after cook has been stroking me. 9:30. — Showed myself in my washed state to the family. All very nice to me. Quite a triumphal entry, in fact. It is simply wonderful the amount of kudos I’ve got from that incident with the man. Miss Brown (whom I rather like) particularly enthusiastic. Kissed me again and called me “a dear, clean, brave, sweet-smelling little doggie.” 9:40. — While a visitor was being let in at the front door, I rushed out and had the most glorious roll in the mud. Felt more like my old self then. 9:45. — Visited the family again. Shrieks of horror on seeing me caked in mud. But all agreed that I was not to be scolded to-day as I was a hero (over the man)! All, that is, except Aunt Brown, whose hand, for some reason or other, is always against me — though nothing is too good for the cat. 9:50. — Glorious thought. I rushed upstairs and rolled over and over on the old maid’s bed. Thank heaven, the mud was still wet! 10:00 to 1:00. — Dozed. 1:00. — Ate dinner. 1:15. — Ate kittens’ dinner. 1:20. — Attacked by beast of cat again. She scratched my hind leg, and at that I refused to go on. Mem: To take it out of her kittens later. 1:25. — Upstairs into dining-room. Family not finished luncheon yet. I go up to Miss Brown, and look at her with my great pleading eyes. I guessed it; they are irresistible. She gives me a piece of pudding. Aunt Brown tells her she shouldn’t. At which, with great pluck, Miss Brown tells her to mind her own business. I admire that girl more and more. 1:30. — A windfall. A whole dish of mayonnaise fish on the slab in the hall. Before you can say Jack Robinson, I have bolted it. 1:32. — Curious pains in my underneath. 1:33. — Pains in my underneath get worse. 1:34. — Horrid feeling of sickness. 1:35. — Rush up into Aunt Brown’s room and am sick there. 1:37, — Better. Think I shall pull through if I am careful. 1:40. — Almost well again. 1:41. — Quite well again. Thank Heaven! It was a narrow shave that time. People ought not to leave such stuff about. 1:42. — Up into dining-room. And, to show how well I am, I gallop round and round the room at full pelt, about twenty times, steering myself by my tail. Then, as a grand finale, I jump twice on to the waistcoat part of old Mr. Brown, who is sleeping peacefully on the sofa. He wakes up very angry indeed, and orders Miss Brown to beat me. Miss Brown runs the burglar for all he is worth. But no good. Old Mr. Brown is dead to all decent feeling. So Miss Brown beats me. Very nice. Thoroughly enjoyable. Just like being patted. But of course I yelp and pretend it hurts frightfully, and do the sad-eye business, and she soon leaves off, and takes me into the next room and gives me six pieces of sugar. Good business. Must remember always to do this. 2:00 to 3:15. — Attempt to kill fur rug in back room. No good. 3:15 to 3:45. — Sulked. 3:46. — Small boy comes in and strokes me. I snap at him. I will not be every one’s plaything. 3:47 to 4:00. — Another attempt to kill rug. Would have done it this time had not that odious Aunt Brown come in and interfered. I did not say anything, but gave her such a look, as much as to say, “I’ll do for you one day.” I think she understood. 4:00 to 5:15. — Slept. 5:15. — Awakened by bad attack of eczema. 5:20 to 5:30 — Slept again, 5:30. — Awakened again by eczema. Caught one. 5:30 to 6:00. — Frightened canary by staring greedily at it. 6:00. — Visited kitchen folk. Boned some bones. 6:15. — Stalked a kitten in kitchen passage. The other little cowards ran away. 6:20. — Things are looking brighter. Helped mouse escape from cat. 6:30. — Upstairs, past the drawing-room. Door of old Mrs. Brown’s bedroom open invitingly. I entered. Never been in before. Nothing much worth having. Ate a few flowers out of a bonnet. Beastly. 7:00. — Down to supper. Ate it, but without much relish. I am off my feed to-day. 7:15. — Ate kittens’ supper. But I do wish they would not give them that eternal fish. I am getting sick of it. 7:25. — Nasty feeling of lassitude comes over me, with loss of all initiative, so I decide to take things quietly, and lie down by kitchen fire. Sometimes I think that I am not the dog that I was. 8:00. — Hooray! Appetite returning. 8:01. — Ravenous. 8-05. — Nose around the kitchen floor and glean a bit of onion, an imitation tortoise-shell comb, a shrimp (almost entire), an abominably stale chunk of bread, and about half a yard of capital string. 8:30. — If one had to rely on other people, one might starve. Fortunately, in the hall I happen on the treacle-pudding, and I get first look in. Lap up the treacle, and leave the suet for the family. Ah. 8:40. — Down into the kitchen again. Sit by the fire, and pretend I don’t know what treacle is like. But that vile cat is there — and I believe she guesses — keeps looking round at me with her hateful, superior look. Dash her, what right has she got to give herself such airs? She’s not half my size, and pays no taxes. Dash her smugness. Dash her altogether. The sight of her maddens me — and when her back is turned I rush at her and bite her. The crafty coward wags her tail, pretending she likes it, so I do it again, and then she rounds on me and scratches my paw viciously, drawing blood, and making me howl with pain. This brings Miss Brown down in a hurry. She kisses me, tells the cat she is a naughty cat (I’d have killed her for it), gives me some sugar, and wraps the paw up in a bread poultice. Lord, how that girl loves me! 9:00. — Ate the bread poultice. 9:15. — Begin to get sleepy. 9:15 to 10:00. — Dozed. 10:00. — Led to kennel. 10:15. — Lights out. Thus ends another derned dull day. The Argonaut [San Francisco, CA] 10 January 1898 Mrs Daffodil’s Aide-memoire: In the course of her long career Mrs Daffodil has known a great many dogs–for example, Wink, the Dowager Duchess of Spofford’s pomeranian, who came to a tragic end when a large caller at his mistress’s house sat upon him, mistaking him for a muff. One of Mrs Daffodil’s previous masters, a medical gentleman with a macabre sense of humour, prized a large black, wolfish animal, which he daubed with luminous paint and sent out to roam the moors at night. And, of course, there was Master Georgie’s wolf-hound, Angela, unjustly accused of killing a fox to explain the blood in the library to the police. [See “A Spot of Bother.”] Mrs Daffodil must applaud the ingenuity and spirit of this young (and surprisingly literate) dog in taking revenge on Aunt Brown and playing the innocent victim of the cat. It takes cunning to outwit a cat. Mrs Daffodil invites you to join her on the curiously named “Face-book,” where you will find a feast of fashion hints, fads and fancies, and historical anecdotes You may read about a sentimental succubus, a vengeful seamstress’s ghost, Victorian mourning gone horribly wrong, and, of course, Mrs Daffodil’s efficient tidying up after a distasteful decapitation in A Spot of Bother: Four Macabre Tales.
  2. You are a dear little one Tuppy and your mummy is all the better for having you because... adopting the oldies is the Best Ever fun thing to do. My lot will be there to show you the ropes, so have fun over the bridge xxx B
  3. I'll pop this here for everyone's enjoyment
  4. I saw this on the Dandie page, it may be good for dogs with allergies. The taste-test is a little silly, my dogs are hoovers and will eat anything, including bandicoot poo and rotten tomatoes...yum https://www.petscorner.co.uk/yora-pet-foods here is a little Dandie who is enjoying it
  5. I would ignore the person who told you 'with the bulldog no outdoors' what a load of codswallop. They love walks and exploring as much as any dog, early mornings in the cool would be best Google 'bulldog swimming' 'bulldog agility' and 'bulldog flyball'...they are dogs, not stuffed toys. I don't think you have much to worry about, exercise/outdoor-wise with your new pup and edited to add... how about some photos
  6. Yes Perse, we're all here except I can't seem to get out of my own way lately; perhaps the heat. I take the dogs walking between 5 and 6 when it's cool. I vacuumed yesterday...it was so hot, smoky and windy all the dog hair was airborne and stuck to me, I kept wiping it off my nose There is no motivation in this house at the moment.
  7. Just out of interest DDD LmO...when I got Zara she was such a fatty, her undercarriage was flapping, she had no waist and, maybe there was a set of ribs but they were hard to find. I gradually swapped her over to raw and 10 months after she is looking good; a lovely weasel shape. So don't rush it, just cut down on her intake a little, use raw meat with a little kibble and add raw vegie-slops.
  8. That is so true about their looks RP, such odd-looking wee dogs but exactly right for going down fox burrows to do a bit of killin' with their short legs, big teeth and weasel-like bodies. You can see how fierce they are in this photo where one Dandie has just made a 'kill'

The Dandie Dinmont terrier - named after a Sir Walter Scott character - has been described as "Scotland's forgotten breed". Puppy births in the UK in 2015 and 2016 were the lowest for consecutive years - outside wartime - since records began. However, breeder Paul Keevil said it now looked like a "long overdue recovery" was under way. At their lowest ebb, there were just 79 and 80 new puppies registered at the Kennel Club in 2015 and 2016 respectively. ANDY KENNEDY Puppy numbers have increased in the past two years after consecutive low figures in 2015 and 2016 A concerted campaign started around that time to try to boost their profile - and numbers. It included the unveiling of a statue of Old Ginger - the 19th Century dog all modern day Dandie Dinmonts are descended from - at its birthplace in Selkirk in the Scottish Borders last year. Mr Keevil is UK co-ordinator for a discovery centre project dedicated to the breed - also located on the Haining estate in the town. He said efforts seemed to be producing the goods. IBreeder Andy Kennedy said he hoped others could be encouraged to follow his example "In 2017 the annual total went up to 123 and for the first nine months of 2018, we had a total of 108 - up on the same period in 2017," he said. "So it would appear that the breed has started its long overdue recovery. "However, these numbers are still very small, we are still in the top 10 rarest breeds in the UK and of course there is no guarantee that we will continue to improve, we have to keep working at it." One recent litter helping to reverse the trend belongs to Andy Kennedy, with family links to Dumfries and Galloway, but now living near Portsmouth. Factfile: Dandie Dinmont terrier A breed of terrier developed in the border country of England and Scotland. First noted as a distinct breed about 1700, it was later named after a character created by Sir Walter Scott in his novel Guy Mannering (1815). Unlike other terriers, the Dandie Dinmont has a softly curved, rather than angular, body. It has large eyes, a long body, short legs, and a large, domed head crowned by a silky topknot. Its crisp-textured coat, a combination of hard and soft hairs, may be pepper (silver-grey to blue-black) or mustard (light fawn to reddish brown) in colour. The Dandie Dinmont stands 8 to 11 inches (20 to 28 cm) and weighs 18 to 24 pounds (8 to 11 kg). Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica ANDY KENNEDY Image captionMr Kennedy said he had been lucky to get "five wonderful puppies" "One factor is that the breed historically has very small litters, around about three is average, four if you are lucky," explained Mr Keevil. "Which is one reason that Andy's litter is such good news being five fit and healthy puppies, well above the average litter size. "I would suggest that we are off the 'critical' list but are still highly endangered." Mr Kennedy has set up a blog to tell the story of raising the puppies and, hopefully, increase the breed's profile. He is following in a family tradition as his grandfather used to breed the dogs when he was a vet in Thornhill in southern Scotland. IANDY KENNEDY Despite the rising puppy numbers the breed is still considered to be at risk "This is our first litter, we just decided we would try it," said Mr Kennedy. "We have already got three Dandies - we thought, let's just see how it goes. "Most people who have gone through it know it is just about taking care of mum and making sure the puppies are well. "It is a huge relief to have a mum that is healthy and five wonderful puppies." He said he hoped by putting their story online it could encourage others to follow his example. "It is showing the puppies' development but it is also about maybe encouraging people who have got Dandies to breed," he said. ANDY KENNEDY Mr Kennedy said he hoped to find "safe and wonderful homes" for the puppies He said the dogs were not particularly well known and hoped the blog might help address that. He intends to keep one of the puppies, but hopes to find new owners for the others. "It is about raising awareness of the breed and finding them safe and wonderful homes," he said. 'At risk' However, there remains work to be done for a full recovery to take place. In order to be listed as a vulnerable native breed by the Kennel Club there have to be fewer than 300 puppies registered a year. "We have consistently been doing less than 100 per year, and even with our 'recovery' we are still about half of what the Kennel Club considered as being 'at risk'," explained Mr Keevil. So there is a long road ahead for the Dandie Dinmont but international efforts are also ongoing to increase numbers. The breed took part in the New York Tartan Day parade this year and is due to participate in the Scottish Walk Parade in Virginia later this week.
  10. My old dogs get Synovan and it helps enormously, an injection once a week for three (it may be four weeks) then a follow-up monthly. Normally costs around $24 so check with your vet how much for each injection, I didn't have to pay a consult each time either so also ask about the follow-up costs. At least the vet can examine your dog and set you on the best course. I did a search on Dogz and here are some posts (mostly from me ) https://www.dolforums.com.au/search/?type=all&q=synovan
  11. The Proudi rep at the show gave me a couple to try, Henry thought they were pretty yummy but he has a problem called... Greed

  18. An article on ABC https://www.abc.net.au/life/what-you-need-to-know-before-getting-pet-insurance/10182750 ABC Life / By Patrick Wright Updated 1hhour ago Image Pat Wright with his dog, Rosie, with an illustrated love heart.(ABC Life: Matt Garrow) This is a photo of me and my dog, Rosie. In case you didn't pick it up, I'm deeply attached. I've also developed a strong urge to protect her. Like many worried pet owners before me, I started investigating the minefield that is pet insurance, but all the policies I looked at were expensive, confusing and full of exclusions. Dogs don't have to cost a fortune Did you know you can save money by buying your dog's medication online? Here are some other cost-savers you may not have considered. Read more It turned out I wasn't alone in questioning the options on the market. When consumer group Choice recently reviewed 76 pet insurance policies, it couldn't find even one to recommend. Nevertheless, I still found myself weighing up getting insurance for Rosie, simply for the peace of mind I imagined it could bring. I wanted to know more, so I reached out to pet owners to hear their stories about insurance: the good, the bad and the ugly. The good: Peace of mind Image Kasey Drayton's dog, Max.(Supplied: Kasey Drayton) Kasey Drayton's Max, a fluffy white Lhasa Apso/Maltese, was no ordinary dog. He was a companion and a member of the family. For 12 years, Max accompanied Kasey to work. He came with the family on holidays. When Kasey married, Max was the ring bearer. But, from an early age, Max was beset with health problems. He had issues with digestion, which were eventually diagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome, and had cancer for four years before he died last January. Pet insurance at a glance Australians spend an estimated $490 million each year on pet insurance. 26 per cent of dog-owning households had pet insurance in 2016 — up from 17 per cent in 2003. Expenditure on dog insurance is almost twice that of cat insurance. Source: Animal Medicines Australia, Pet Ownership in Australia Report, 2016 Kasey's vet told her she was one of the lucky few dog owners to have come out ahead on pet insurance. "[Max] didn't have a hip replacement or anything, but there was an endless stream of little things," she told me. Kasey now has two Schnoodles, Sullivan and Chester. They are both insured, but Kasey's not sure she'll come out ahead again. "I think any gains we have made previously may be negated by these two," she told me. "You just don't know. We haven't claimed anything yet, but nothing has happened." Kasey Drayton's pet insurance experience Premiums: About $10,000 over 15 years for Max ($55 a month) What she claimed back: More than the premiums she paid What if something happened? "It's very difficult. It's one of those things, where you just think, 'Oh my goodness, they spent $25,000 on a hip replacement'. But they're your baby." Image Jodie Bennett's dog Sam, recovering from an injury.(Supplied: Jodie Bennett) Jodie Bennett lives in the Pilbara with two dogs and two cats and wouldn't be without pet insurance. When one of her cats, Ninja, was diagnosed with acute leukemia, the insurance meant Jodie didn't have to make decisions based on money. In the end, before Ninja died, the vet even tried a blood transfusion. Jodie's bigger dog, Sam, a 35-kilogram American Staffy cross, has a habit of hurting herself while trying to escape the backyard. Big dogs live shorter lives, and are more expensive to treat than smaller breeds, which means higher premiums. One thing on Jodie's mind is snakes: Sam was bitten by one about three years ago, but thankfully wasn't injected with venom. In the Pilbara, an injection of life-saving anti-venom could set Jodie back thousands of dollars if she was uninsured. "The insurance means if something really bad happens, I don't have to think about the cost straight away," Jodie told ABC Life. Jodie Bennett's pet insurance experience Premiums: About $1,440 per year ($120 per month) for two dogs and two cats What she claimed back: "It'd be in the thousands, easily. And I've had 80 per cent back on that." What if something happened? "It means cost doesn't have to come into the equation when you have to make a decision about treating your animal." The bad: Premiums, premiums and more premiums Image Gaye Slater's Groodle, Benji.(Supplied: Gaye Slater) Gaye Slater decided to take out pet insurance for her dog Benji, a Groodle, shortly after getting him eight years ago. Gaye decided to stop paying the insurance last year, but she's not sure she's made the right decision. Because of Benji's age, most insurers wouldn't cover him now — so Gaye might not be able to change her mind even if she wanted to. Gaye has decided to rely on her emergency savings to cover Benji's health costs. "It's like health insurance. You're damned if you have it, you're damned if you don't," Gaye told me. "When I walk along the beach, sometimes I [say in my head], 'Please don't attack my dog', now that I don't have insurance." Gaye Slater's pet insurance experience Premiums: About $6,000 to insure Benji over eight years on a top-level plan ($62.50 per month) What she claimed back: About $1,000 What if something happened? "I do have back-up money … [but] if it was an astronomical bill, I'd be in trouble." What insurance might not cover Elective treatments, such as de-sexing operations or dental work Large-breed or senior dogs can be difficult if not impossible to insure Complex operations, such as organ transplants Illnesses that can prevented by vaccines, such as kennel cough, canine distemper, parvovirus Accident-only policies only cover accidents, and not all of them. Tick paralysis, for instance, is a common exclusion Every policy is different, so always read the product disclosure statement The ugly: Exclusions and restrictive policies Image Jane Rainbird's dog, Essy, injured her cruciate ligament.(Supplied: Jane Rainbird) Of all the people I spoke to, Jane had the worst experience with pet insurance. Jane took out a top-of-the-range policy for her two dogs before going on an overseas trip. Three weeks later, after paying the $1,300 annual premium, Jane's Jack Russell, Essy, injured her anterior cruciate ligament at the park. After paying another $1,500 for an operation, Jane was shocked to find out her policy didn't cover injuries in the first month. "What they didn't tell us was that we had a month where we couldn't make any claims," she told me. "We were paying for insurance, but we weren't getting any insurance." 10 common plants that are poisonous to dogs and cats Love making your home look like a jungle? Bad news: your favourite houseplants and flowers are probably toxic to your dogs and cats. Read more Shortly afterwards, the insurance company told Jane that, because of the injury, Essy's joints would no longer be covered under the policy. On top of that, her premium went up. After looking around for a better deal, Jane has decided she won't renew her insurance after this year. Jane's pet insurance experience Premiums: About $2,800 for two dogs on a top policy for two years ($125 per month) What she claimed back: About $300 so far. What if something happened? "It's a difficult one … but I know we will always take advice from our vet and do what's best for our precious girls." Questions to ask yourself Image Thinking about insurance might make you want to crawl up into a ball.(ABC Life: Patrick Wright) If you're thinking about taking out an insurance policy for your pet, here are some questions to ask yourself: Have you read through the product disclosure statement and other important documents? Do you understand what's covered and what's not? Is there a co-payment? How are bills paid? (Under most policies, you pay the bill and insurer reimburses you.) If your pet was in an emergency, would you be able to pay for the bill at short notice? If so, have you thought about self-insurance? Is your dog's breed prone to health issues? If so, are these issues covered by the insurer? How old is your dog? Older dogs can be difficult to insure. Are you prepared to be slugged with premium increases as your dog ages? Does your dog have pre-existing conditions? If so, they may render the policy useless. Does the policy have a waiting period during which you are unable to make a claim? Do you plan to keep your dog insured? Once your dog reaches eight or nine years, it can be very difficult to switch.
  19. Hi there CD, can you post in this forum---> https://www.dolforums.com.au/forum/22-health-nutrition-grooming/ more Dolers will see it there and you will get some answers
  20. Does you household insurance have pet insurance as an add-on? I am with RACQ and they do so maybe NRMA do as well (if you are with NRMA that is) RACQ have a $750 ceiling added to my household insurance for around $50 extra, they also have separate pet insurance which is dearer than BWM but comparable to some of the other companies; I just had a look and it appears to be only for Qld :-/ Hummmm---> https://www.productreview.com.au/p/rspca.html doncha just love reviews
  21. it's maybe a little too frequent bathing your Scottie every two weeks; it'll dry out the skin terribly eta: just brush and comb his hair every week that will stop him/her getting stinky, perhaps dust your dog with something like Vets All Natural Dry Pet Shampoo which can be brushed out after you have rubbed it in
  22. can you get them from here F? or is the postage prohibitive? https://www.petandcountrystore.com/en/au/Molly-Mutt/b-88.aspx maybe here---> http://www.mammothpetsupplies.com.au/buy/doog-molly-mutt-stuff-sack-medium-large/2018693 or here---> https://petsuppliesempire.com.au/?s=molly+mutt&post_type=product
