A friend of ours gave us a Philips Sonicare toothbrush. I bought some new heads for it. The dogs like it, I reckon it's because I don't push too hard or vigorously on their teeth which I tend to do with hand brushing. It's easy to use though you need to switch it on when it's in their mouths as all the toothpaste flies off and splatters all over the walls have a search around as there are usually some good deals offered. Anyway, this is it: http://www.philips.c...tric-toothbrush and the heads here--> http://www.ebay.com....YUAAOSw6EhUUgAX

There is an old thread here (which is really no help at all, so it's of interest only) http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/247356-patterdale-terrier/

hooo, just look at them! Rottie pups =

How is your girl getting on Latoya?

hhahaha...the photos of the pups on the dog bed, they are thinking such a long waaay down, we'll go and have a nap instead. Thank you for posting pics Starkehre, it's always a good start to my mornings.

Quite a few online stores have it but Vet and Pet Direct are great to deal with. I'd recommend them http://www.vetnpetdi...mL#.VwDBlj8vC1I

we don't use rat poison, and the neighbours have dogs too (except of one)...so it's not likely - I'm more worried about Toxoplasmosis and other parasites they can carry, so normally I dispose the rats and mice if I catch her catching one... Mac doesn't eat them, he disposes rats without human intervention usually behind the sofa cushions

I thought about him this morning WM, just out of the blue he popped into my head. I hope you are doing ok

Me too Good onyer Devon! a Westie this year and a Scottie last year, how good is that!

O Gillybob, I am so sorry

I wonder if Red Collar rescue in Biggenden would like them LG? Ams always spoke highly of Sharyn and Russell, they do good work. Here is the link to their web page http://redcollarrescue.org/ I also looked at one of their links to a dog food company: Ocean Forest Farm...it is the most irritating site...my eyes my eyes

Yes! you are exactly right LG, that is why I asked the question her, it is just not quite right

Thanks both of you, yes it was about the cats, the first part said: On 25 February 2016 Renbury Farm Animal Shelter put to sleep over 20 healthy cats and kittens. Well that is pretty bad but what else can they do if homes cannot be found. If anyone wants to read the whole message I suggest they Google Fairfield City Council : Independent audit of internal practices at Renbury Animal Shelter O Nooooo I just checked other headings in that Google search and PR facebook page is one of the petition sites...well that is a good reason not to sign :laugh:

When he has his bath it helps to rinse him with a mixture of apple cider vinegar...(the Cornwell's brand will do) and warm water, I use about 1/2 cup of vinegar to about 2L of water, I just leave it on, don't rinse off Dip his feet into a cup of this mixture and swish them around, this will kill the yeast, he will probably lick his feet afterwards but this is good as it'll get some ACV into his system, if you use the non-pasteurised for the foot-wash it would be better as it is more beneficial. a dog's skin pH is more neutral than a human. The pH of dog's skin is about 7.5 where a human skin is about 5.5 on the standard pH scale from 0 to 14. (The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is). The dog shampoo and conditioner are fairly alkaline so the vinegar rinse can help 'up' the acid part of the pH and help kill off the yeast bugs

Is he walking on the pavement on the way out but walking on the grass verge on the way home? I was thinking that perhaps the pavement is making his feet hot

I received an email in my 'in box' (from a petition site) about Renbury Shelter. In part is written: we demand an independent audit to review the following aspects of Renbury Farm Animal Shelter operations. I can cut and paste the body of the email here leaving out the links to the petition site but I am unsure if it is allowed. I do have a question though: is Renbury is doing the right thing or is it lacking in its treatment and care of its dogs and cats? I am careful signing petitions as occasionally there are hidden agendas so I'd like to know some more details.

In the Guardian this morning scroll down to close to the bottom http://www.theguardi...l-and-a-whippet here is a small version of it

I got this mail-out from Blackmores this morning, it may be of interest PAW Fish Oil 500: Veterinary Strength http://www.pawbyblac...DMbJswLgOWBE%3D edited to add the title of the link

Happy Birthday Little Red Man doggie xxx's from Penny, Mac and Daisy

My friend has been using it on her 18 month old Scottish terrier for a few months and it dawned on her the other day that he always scratches the day after. Her GSD is ok with it. She is now going back to Advantix for the little guy.

is it my eyes or is the German Shorthaired Pointer a little chubby? and what type of dog is the very serious-looking small brown dog 12th photo from the bottom and lovely Skye Terrier and some scary looking woman there lol http://www.theguardian.com/sport/gallery/2016/feb/17/the-animals-of-the-westminster-kennel-club-dog-show-in-pictures

So sorry Jules, you do love and take care of your dogs so well. What a lucky dog to have you to take care of her. Such a happy life Renae would have had at your place. She will always have a warm place in your heart. xxx

Lovely dog Huski. She is amazing...what a credit to you. Happy Birthday Blaze
