It's good that they are feeling better WM. Poor little buggers.

It is not for any of my dogs WM...OH found it when he was browsing online and emailed me the link, it sounded interesting.

http://www.vancitybu...gs-pet-palooza/ It's the running of the bull(dogs) this weekend in Vancouver. Thousands of pet owners and enthusiasts and their canine companions will descend on Yaletown's Coopers' Park Sunday for the West Coast's largest outdoor pet festival. Pet-A-Palooza, put on by the non-profit Just Love Animals Society, includes free seminars from pet health and wellness experts, products to keep your pet happy and healthy, and super entertaining demonstrations. Ever heard of dog flyball? The Dogwood Pacesetters group is showing off this very raucous dog sport – where pups participate in a high-speed relay race – sailing over hurdles. But the day's highlight is sure to be the Running of the Bulls, a hilarious 20-foot race for English and French bulldogs. The first to cross the finish line wins a year's supply of Bullwrinkes, billed the "ultimate treat for dogs." Races start at noon. Beyond the entertainment, there's a focus on pet wellness. Dr. Spooner from Yaletown Pet Hospital will be on site from noon until 2 p.m. answering your questions, and there are also info booths showcasing animal first-aid. Fido in need of some beauty time? No problem. The festival offers on-site "bang trims and Pawdicures" by The Pet Shop Boys. It's $10 by donation, with all proceeds going to JLA Society's Spay & Neuter fund. There's also a photo lounge so you can have your pet's photo taken by Karen Moe. Canines will be kept cool with the Barking Babies 'Doggie Dip' – cool-down stations across the park. Like any great trade show – and really, that's what this is – there are also loads of cool contest prizes, including teeth cleaning, free pet food for a year, free stays at Uptown Dawg "Stay & Spa" or a pet psychic reading. The first 500 people to visit the Petcurean tent will receive a tote bag with a ½ pound trial size bag of its natural dog food. And everyone will receive a free copy of Modern Dog magazine, produced right here in Vancouver. Yaletown Pet-A-Palooza 2014 Date: Sunday, August 24 Time: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Location: Coopers' Park, 1020 Marinaside Crescent (at Nelson Street) Cost: Admission is free and all proceeds benefit low-cost spay and neuter clinics.

Yes, I thought they may be, or that maybe used in other dog-applications. I was interested to find out if anyone here was using the drug and what problem it was being used to treat.

the last photo is the best http://www.dailymail...ion-spring.html A full body massage (with oil) and her hair groomed with a wire brush... just another day in the pampered life of Tiquie the Brazilian tapir Tiquie the tapir enjoys special daily massages to keep her hair and skin healthy glowing at Sydney's Taronga Zoo Tapirs are under threat in the wild because of hunting, logging and land clearing of their jungle habitats By May Slater For Daily Mail Australia Tiquie the Brazilian Tapir soaked up the attention at Taronga Zoo this week as keepers treated her to a luxurious pampering session to slough off those winter blues. She was given a hands-on health check and grooming session: a full body massage with oil to prevent her skin from drying and a good brush of her wiry mane. Tiquie the Brazilian Tapir loving her pampering sessions at Taronga Zoo this week. Tapirs are typically shy in the wild but Zoo keepers say Tiquie soaks up the attention, often smiling and closing her eyes during her daily massages But Tiquie is no stranger to being primped and preened. Although Tapirs are normally solitary, elusive creatures in the wild, keeper Nat Dunn says Tiquie loves the interaction of her daily grooming sessions. 'She'll close her eyes and tilt her head back when we're rubbing the oil onto her skin and often roll onto her back for a tummy tickle," said Dunn. "We also brush her hair and skin to bring out its natural oils and because of her relaxed nature; we're able to perform a hands-on health check of her feet, ears, eyes and body.' Keepers at Taronga Zoo brush Tiquie's wiry mane everyday to keep it healthy Tapirs have survived for millions of years but their future in the wild is under threat due to extensive hunting, logging and clearing of their jungle and forest habitats for agriculture. Taronga Zoo is helping to protect Tapirs in the wild by supporting research and conservation efforts in Brazil through the Lowland Tapir Conservation Initiative. Tiquie the tapir zones out during her special pamper session at Sydney's Taronga Zoo That's the spot: Tiquie enjoying the special attention at Taronga Zoo this week. Tapirs are under threat in the wild because of extensive hunting, logging and land clearing of their tropical homes

Mita has given me another lead with a breeder so they have contacted her, they are also going to Durack on Sunday as there is an 'All Breeds' show on...maybe there will be Tibbies. Here is a photo of Magic, Colleen's daughter's little one (I cut the person out of the photo) She (Magic) is being held/cuddled

Just updating: little Mia is not really suitable for my friend as she may not get on too well with Colleen's daughter's Tibbie, it seems that Mia is not too happy with other dogs. I agree with Mita that the description is honest as was Mia's foster-carer. Top Marks Newcastle Dog Rescue website for making it very clear to prospective adopters. Now it's back to looking again! :)

Found one! http://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/313935. I phoned the contact number and had a chat to Margaret, Mia's minder. Colleen is in town until this afternoon but I managed to contact her and have sent her the link and info (the forms to fill out). Mia is in Newcastle and Colleen's daughter said they would drive straight down there if they were allowed to adopt her. Does any DOLer here have anything to do with Newcastle Dog Rescue?

You are a 'Looking-for-a-Tibbie' star Mita! Colleen definitely wants an older/mature Tibbie so it looks like we will continue searching

Does anyone know of this drug? I would be interested to know of any DOLers dogs are using it. There are a couple of links (underlined) to click SELEGILINE (l-deprenyl, ELDEPRYL, EMSAM) is used successfully to treat canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome (CDS) in dogs.

Thank you Tibbie_tabbie. Colleen is in Qld (as am I), she said she wants a female but I will send her the link anyway Maybe, as an option, I can bully her into getting a male Rigby :D

Is your heart set on a pup? There are some lovely Dachshund's in Dachie Rescue here--> http://www.dachshundrescueaustralia.com/availabledachshunds.htm I see you are in Qld and there are two lovely brothers available in Qld, Frankie and Snag Go on...just do it :)

ABC video...this is great! http://www.abc.net.a...ed-dogs/5676940

So sorry Kirislin There will be no more wobbles over the bridge for your dear-dog

Thanks for all your suggestions. Colleen would really really really like a female Tibbie, her daughter's Tibbie has won her heart and she loves the breed. I did try to encourage her to consider your Cleo Dogmad, but she has her heart set on a purebred Tibbie (bugger!) I have emailed you Mita. Hopefully all you fantastic rescue DOLers will continue looking. Thanks :)

Yayyyy! Happy Birthday Mac Here is another cake just for you, I pinched it from Google images :D Lots of long-life-and-love from your friends: Pen, Mac & Daisy

I have not managed to catch up with my friend but tomorrow I will go round to her new place (not quite finished being built yet) to try to catch her. I will update as soon as I find out what she is wanting. eta...woops, meant to add that hopefully she will want Cleo

I bought Daisy as a 7 y/o, she was not desexed. I also was given her pedigree papers with 'retired' written in pen at the top. There was no reason why I couldn't have mated her to an entire registered Westie (there is a papered male that lives locally, he is registered but not on mains). Daisy could have had a litter and I still could have sold the pups and shown the buyer her, and the sire's, papers. Sure, the pups would not have come with papers but I would have been rich and retire with lots of money (Bolded part is from page 1 of the BYB handbook)

I have emailed Colleen with both Dogmad's and Gruflife's info (thank you both very much!), Colleen is away for the weekend with her daughter, son in law and their little black Tibbie, Magic. She will be back on Monday. I will keep you all updated may thanks

okey dokey...will do. Thanks :-)

My friend has nearly finished building her house and would like a dog for company. She is in her 70's, been a farmer most of her life and is very fit, her husband died 18 months back so she feels that a dog-friend would be just the thing. Her daughter has a Tibbie so she would like a similar dog to that breed. A mature dog is her preference. Do any Dolers know of any suitable dogs that I can pass on their details to my friend. I can definitely say that the dog will get a most-excellent home. Update: I have edited the title and added a good-news post (32) on Sept 5th

I reckon Mac is planning on joining Lee Lin Chin in the SBS news-readers Fashionista Competion. Go Mac!

I saw two Scottish terriers do that very thing to a badly behaving dog. The Scotties just put their noses in the air and trotted past, they never even looked at the other dog. It was really funny Legends! :laugh:
