  3. Thanks guys. :) Kirislin - after waiting so long to get a DSLR, I confess, I was quiet scared to open it. Big chicken I am. :laugh: And yes Marion, that particular flower seems to be quiet a favourite with the bugs. I wonder what's out there today? :laugh: A few pics I took today out in the yard of some of our doggies, both resident and fosters. :) Jasmine - foster failure :) Takoda - my brat :laugh: Buddy - foster Princess - foster.

  4. Reggie is gorgeous. One of my rescues, "Buddy" is part kelpie, part kangaroo. :laugh: He's just over a year old and has the longest legs I have ever seen on a kelpie. :laugh: He's a sweet boy though. :)
  5. Aww Puppysniffer - he is adorable and he looks sooo cuddly. And how lovely that he has fit in so well. :) Good on you for opening your heart and home to him!! He's a very lucky boy.
  6. You take absolutely gorgeous photo's Kja. Love the dragonflies, you captured them beautifully.
  7. So I finally worked up the courage to open the new camera and to give it a turn. :) It's a pre-loved canon 350d that came with the kit lens and also an EF 75-300mm canon telephoto lens. I am in loooooove. I still have heaps to learn but it was so much fun getting the feel of it. I cannot wait to get some pics of the kids (skin and fur). But for now a couple of flower pics (yes I know, more flower pics :laugh: )I took in the garden.
  8. Gorgeous pics Pers. Were they taken with your canon?
  9. On behalf of Merna from Rocky's K9 rescue, I would like to pay tribute to the passing of "Rocky" today. Understandably, Merna is too upset to post at the moment so I have been asked to do so on her behalf. I am sure when Merna is ready, she will be here to post her own tribute to her special boy, but for now, I have written a little poem from Merna to Rocky. Rocky Rocky I do not know where to begin boy I have loved you from the start, But today I had to bid you farewell I am left crying with a broken heart. For twelve years you ruled my heart And forever I will love you, I miss you more than words can write And I am sure you miss me too. But I take comfort knowing you are at Peace No more pain, no more cloudy days, Just a beautiful rainbow on a sky of blue And the sun to lead your way. Rocky I do know I will see you again In another time, another place, Across the Rainbow Bridge we'll meet And your love again I will embrace. But for now, your memory I will cherish You were so strong and brave until the end, When in my arms you crossed that bridge To wait for me, my friend. xxx R.I.P. Rocky Run young and free again boy. xxx And huge hugs to you Merna. I for one, know how hard it is losing one so special.
  10. Those pics have me in . Happy one's ofcoarse. :) Wow! what a difference a bit of love and a few weeks makes! And @ the weight loss. She looks so much healthier and most importantly, sooo much happier. :)
  11. I love both but if I had to pick one, it would probably be no. 2. :)
  12. I am really sorry to hear about your little one Alibi. What about trying her with some sardines or salmon or small tins of cat food. They come in all sorts of fancy flavours that might tempt her.
  13. Teekay has worked wonders with Mya. I was so glad to read she has become a foster carer. :)
  14. An update on Tess. Her bloods came back ok. So apart from her neck, she is fine. I went over to the vet this morning and picked her up. I was half expecting for her to be carried out and into the car but as soon as I saw her, I was happily surprised. She came through the door wagging and was so happy to see us. (me and the kids). :) The vet said she was fine to go on a lead and there was no need to carry her. We got to the car and I was about to lift her up when she leaped in herself. Before I could grab her, she was over the back seat all over the kids. You would not believe it was the same dog I dropped off a few days ago. She is so much better. her neck is so much better too. When I dropped her back to Mums, she was straight out the car, went inside to say hello to Mum, then straight out the back to see Bear. She went straight for his dinner bowl to see if he left her any leftovers from brekky. :laugh: Mum called a short time after I got back home to say she'd had some dinner and had her tablet. Mum just rolls it up into roast chicken skin. Anyways I dropped in about an hour ago and I am so pleased with how she is compared to what she was. She wouldn't stop wagging as I gave her a belly rub. Infact she wouldn't stop wagging the whole time I was there. :) She was bright eyed, and had her 2nd tablet tonight, again no problems. Hopefully it continues to be all uphill from here onwards. And thanks once again for all your kind words & well wishes along the way.
  15. Wow what beautiful pics. Thanks for sharing.
  16. If they come back clear, I'd be wondering about the need. You'd think there would be an elevated white cell count if infection was present. Sorry I should of explained better. The bloods that were taken earlier this afternoon are to determine her over all well being, her kidney and liver function etc. If those results come back clear, then they will start her on the antibiotics. The vet is almost certain it is discospondylitis but just wants to make sure there is nothing sinister going on elsewhere.
  17. Gorgeous pics Kja. I especially love the 2nd one.
  18. If we get a confirmed diagnosis that it is discospondylitis I will ask about other options re, the antibiotics. And thanks for that link to the pill popper Pers. What a great idea. Sadly although the vet still suspects discospondylitis - the 2nd Xray hasn't given us a definate diagnosis so full bloods are being done this afternoon. If they come back clear he will commence her on the antibiotics for discospondylitis immediately. We just want to be 100% certain first, that nothing else is going on so we're not going around in circles. We should have our answer, at last, in the morning.
  19. Thanks guys. :) I was going to take the canon out yesterday and give it a go. But I thought, no - next time. Anyways when I was out in the garden there was this beautiful blue butterfly. It danced around me for ages, as though teasing me to get a pic. :laugh: but I couldn't snap him with the olympus camera. He was too quick. But still, I tried. :laugh: I did manage to get these 2 naughty buggers though. :laugh: And this bee These roses are higher than our house, well just about. that's why I am pointing up to the sky to get pics of them. :laugh: ETA a couple more. :)
  20. I would like to leave her there Crisover. I don't like to see any dog suffer letalone one that is part of the family. I could actually sleep last night, knowing she was there and not at home. I am only going by what the vet is telling me. I am sure if he felt the need to keep her in, he would and he might yet. I am not sure. At this stage were just taking it a day at a time. She is having further Xrays today. I have been to see the vet and he showed me yesterday's one aswell as another he took yesterday of a dog with a slipped disc. He showed me the difference. He also showed me a section on Tess's Xray that he is concerned about. A couple of the discs up towards her neck/shoulders are not quiet right. They're not slipped, but they appear to be infected. He did same the name of it, I think it was discospondylitis?? will confirm this afternoon. I know it ended in spondylitis. I asked whether the infection from the pyo had spread and caused it - he said no. Then it hit me. The dog attack. He readily agreed that that is the most likely cause. And it explains alot. How she was different after the attack and how she was still sore & stiff at times. Where she was bitten matches up to the area of her spine that is infected. (around the shoulders or just above the shoulders). It's all fitting in. Treatment is antibiotics. But different one's to what she was on for the pyo. I explained to the vet how she won't let me give them to her or how she won't touch her food if they are crushed into it, as he suggested that aswell. He said she has to have them and for several weeks. He said to try the peanut butter and also the sardines to try and disguise them. I am going to have to make sure she does get them. She'd been to the toilet this morning and had a little walk around outside. I didn't get to see her while I was there though. Fingers crossed we get a definate answer this arvo.
  21. She did get up yesterday and can walk. It's just that she is alot slower and obviously in some discomfort when doing so. I will find out what she's had in re: to muscle relaxants when I get there. About to leave now and will update when I am back.
