I'm terribly sorry for your loss GR HUGE hugs to you, your family and Grotty at this sad time

OMG, I'm so sorry to hear this Cassie Run free darling Oakley Hugs to you, OH and Zephyr

Pandii, you have an enormous heart and gave it all you had. Be free Trez, play happily with Ishka and know that you were loved.

Sorry for your loss Juice RIP Girl Dog, run free dear girl

I'm terribly sorry for your loss Max'mum. The poem is lovely and something that many people on DOL can relate to. Rest easy Kaiser, you were loved.

Poor Emmy ;) Run free at the Bridge little baby Condolences to your son and his partner, Firestone

I would be a little wary of US eBay, I would only buy off someone with masses of + feedback who had been a member for ages. IMO online stores are a good option, especially the well-established ones that only do dog stuff. I like these guys, their service and prices are excellent. www.3cdog.com I have also never had to pay import duty/taxes on overseas doggy purchases :rolleyes:

I have used Woolwash on my Rotts, but went off it as one got flaky skin from it. Not super itchy, but lots of flaking. I have since been using Laser Lites, but she is starting to have the same problem, so I am going to try the Plush Puppy low allergy shampoo and see how she goes. I use a human conditioner (whatever I am using at the time, mostly Garnier Fructis) just over their shoulders and hips, gives that little bit of extra shine without softening too much. Little OT, but how does everyone dilute their shampoo down before application? I have been using a squeezy bottle but am having trouble getting the shampoo to disperse properly in the bottle without sudsing up too much before I actually get it on the dog! I wash mine in my bathtub with a hose attachment on the tap, so hydrobath tips are no good for me

I am so sorry to hear this news Tilly Run free, old Boofer. Enjoy your time at the bridge waiting for your family

I'm sorry to hear about this Tilly Please give your dear old boy a hug from me and my furry mob I know you will have some special moments in the time you have left together.

I read about that in the paper. So sad for his family too RIP Vessel, I hope you find a peace that eluded you here.

Poor Boss That is a lovely tribute White Eagle. Thank you to everyone who helped him, I hope he found peace in his last six months in the arms of a family who truly loved him. What big hearts they must have, taking on a sick elderly dog! Run free at the Bridge Boss, enjoy the freedom

My Rottns get Dines in Vege Oil twice a week and are in great health with very glossy coats Akitaowner, Coles sell a brand called Brunswick Sardines. They are normally about $1 per can, but they have a few varieties and they have one that is sardines in olive oil. Olive oil would be really good for them and gets over the soy issue for your breed

So Innes is to blame for Neisha's 'showbiz' attitude?! I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you old girl, but if your lovely grand-daughter is any indication, you were one special lady. Condolences to you and OH Allerzeit, you have had such a rough trot lately but you have shown great courage in doing what was right for Innes even at the very end. RIP Innes, run free at the Bridge. WOO WOO WOO! :D

Rest in peace little Page. Deepest condolences to her family and friends, may they find some comfort in Page's precious little companion Jet.

Travel gently little Page, don't be afraid. The Rainbow Bridge is on your way, you will find many new friends there. One day you will see your little Jet again too! To Page's family, sending you thoughts of love and strength.

Jo, I am so sorry to hear that your beautiful Abby has lost her battle. May she run pain free at the bridge while she waits for you and her mate Tigger. Sending you healing thoughts, Jacqui, Quest, Juna and Kira ;)

They have been in my thoughts, I have been too afraid to ask. I'm sorry to hear the latest update :D I am continuing to send my most positive vibes to brave little Page and her brave family.

Not over the top Frank, that is exactly how many people on DOL feel about their beloved furkids, both here and at the Bridge. I am very sorry for your loss, Jessy sounds very special. I am a firm believer in the existance of the Bridge and just know it couldn't possibly be the last time you will see Jessy. I hope that your new puppy brings you as much joy as Jessy did. Jessy wouldn't want you to be unhappy, so enjoy your new friend and look forward to the day when you and your Jessy can be together again. Jacqui

It must be hard for you, you would have to be trying to keep it together for your kids but your own heart is broken Hugs just for you Pandii!!! When Mali went to the Bridge I put her bowls, coats, favourite blankie and her lead in a nice large gift box in my wardrobe. I stuck a happy photo of her on the top She had a leopard print lead and I told OH that the leopard print was officially retired in our house, there will never be another dog that wears leopard print, that is Mali's pattern. Just keep Ishka's things together in something nice so that when you are feeling sad and need a cry you can take them out and you can think happy thoughts. JMHO

So sorry for your loss Rozzie Run free on speedy young legs John :D

What lovely words and photos for a much treasured little not-a-rott Hugs and love to you and your OH at such a sad time. Play hard with Stewie and our friends at the Bridge Abby

Pandii, my deepest sympathy to you and the rest of the Pandii clan. The stars that shine the brightest, shine the longest in our hearts. RIP little Ishka, you will be sadly missed.

Many hugs for your loss and heartache Ashli. RIP lovely Keisha, run trouble-free beautiful girl.

I use the Peter's European Style yoghurt and put one tablespoon in with each dinner for my Rotts. And then let them lick the spoon
