Becky in Oz

I have groomed my own with no probs. Generally I don't do the legs with clippers, but trim with scissors if needed.

Aw, Paula. So sorry for your loss. What a beautiful dog. RIP Angus.

Sorry for your loss. You probably stopped her ain and suffering whether she was in some pain now or close to it. I don't know I probably would have done the same. So sorry for your loss. RIP Jessie.

Probably. And probably so because they don't actually know how to train the dog to walk. I found myself carrying a stick the other day when I took my dog out for a walk. Why? To wave it in front of me everytime I came across a tree or bush with cobwebs. I wondered as I carried the stick if people thought I was hitting my dog with it, not the case as it was.

Is the dog put in a crate at night to sleep? Then cver crate ike you would a bird cage for him to sleep? What does your vet suggest? 17 is old, but if the dog still has some quality of life, he may have some time left, too. It's a hard one. Curious to see what others say.

Does sound like a tormenting decision. So sorry you had to make it, follow through and now live it. It really hurts. RIP Storm. Take care Tia.

Oh so sorry Pandii. Take it easy, please. RIP Trez.

RIP Kelly. It was a beautiful tribute, Erin. The house won't feel like the same house for some time. Thinking of you.

Not my area of expertise, Mutchumbo, but what methods have you tried to overcome the 'perving'? Might help those who kow animal behaviours and training- and I am just curious.

Not sure I understand either, unless he is using an analogy for 'distraction'.

Huh?

Sory to hear of Bing's passing. Run free Bing.

Kuring gai Vet, in North Turramurra?

Kaos isn't a pure, eh? I reckon she has part Meerkat in her. ed sp

Ahhh, crap, Horus. Sorry to hear that Ben was given his wings. It is just terribel when those special ones go to the bridge.

Sorry for your loss, Lee. RIP Teabag.

I don't even have a real word. Just... awe.

apparently it is common dog behaviour. So is kissing you afterwards. Yuck!

Thanks, Calliech! I have just made a word doc out of this so I can now go and get a pet first aid kit going. Thank you!

Really Calliech? Is this as effective as the antibiotics you get at the vet/ Not being a smarty pants, am geninely interested. If this is the go, I's be interested in future situations for my fosters. May save a few bucks and be just as effective, not to mention avoid vet appointment which could be used for other visits or more needy animals, if a quick trip to the pharmacist is all it takes, cool.

That's pretty much what I just read. How frightening for them, and yes how angry family and friends would be, and rightly so. I hope they are getting things done correctly, now.

Just looked it up. Sounds like a tragedy that could have been prevented. So sorry for all those lost lives and the families of those gone. RIP Cathy and your classmates.

The grooming (growing into it, I should add) Gomez Maverick

Well I have used your guidelines and expertise, Toohey to clip Maverick and Gomez. Their fur has always been clipped very, very short, so this is the foundation to the grooming style you and more to the point, LEO, modelled on page 2. You won't be able to see what I have done, the feathering is more like 'downing' there is so little there. I am going to take a shower and get all this itchy fur off me and out of my nose. I'll be back later in day to post piccies.

Oh dear, just caught this thread and I am so sorry for Page's family. How awful in everyway. I am at a loss, just shedding tears. RIP Page.
