OSoSwift Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I grow my own so I know which one go and what they look like! I still have a freezer full of yummy beef and as one of mine has a sensitive tummy to raw food and especially bones the butcher cuts the rib bones up to the perfect size and makes sure they are well trimmed so there is no or very little fat! Very spoilt. I also know what backliners etc they get and that the paddocks are chemical free or not. Gotta loive home grown beef. If any of you lived closer you would be welcome to most of my beef bones as I only have so much freezer room. Most end up thrown out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazzat Xolo Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Bear was such a good boy at the vet and slept on the car ride there and back :D . The vet was annoying me though , I hate getting the third degree about my choice to get the C3 not C5, I didn't bother telling him I won't be bringing him back for a third vac at 16 weeks, plus he recommended the heartworm injection grrrr.On the plus side I'll be able to take the little boy out soon bahahahahahahahaha i got the same thing but i do the c5 then no more lol. i am still getting letters in the mail saying she is overdue. all the i hoope you aren't taking her out and about as parvo is running rampant oh no i don't says i who has already had pup at parks, peoples houses, shops, show grounds etc rofl. she reccomended the heart worm jab too i was like no thanks i do tabs well i don't but she don't know that lol. i also only advocate every two or three months or if she seems to be getting itchy never had fleas though. wonders if its the same vet???? I still vaccinate mine every year and use the yearly Heartworm vacc, also keep up the Rabies vaccs for the pups health ( over seas pups) But its up to each to do as they feel best for their dogs!

Wazzat Xolo Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I wagged training tonight :D I've been trying to study. Haven't gotten as far as I'd like! I think all of us did It might have been a good thing that we did wag since I hear 2 cars were broken into and things stolen - so just a reminder - lock your cars when at K9. Also 2 agility dogs back from the Susan Garrett seminar in NSW are at Murdoch with tick bites Fingers crossed they are both OK. Did you wag too, Ptolomy? Stupid thieves All this talk of ticks and stuff makes me too scared to move away from Perth, even though I've considered it on numerous occasions! Like last night again LOL I copped a tick on MY BACK last week bloody filthy little bugga! rather me than the dogs though! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 LOL I copped a tick on MY BACK last week bloody filthy little bugga! rather me than the dogs though! lol How'd you know and how'd you get it out!? I probably wouldn't know a tick though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab_Rat Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Mason - you dont need to worry about ticks her in the south of WA.............No nasty ones here (although they do appear to like WX, :D ) My girls are off the vets tomorrow - to have their titre tests done, cartrophen injection for the hyper Kelpie, heartworm jab for boofhead, and a special surprise for her - anal gland cleaning out She'll love that!!! NOOOOOTTTTT......Poor girl! I think, depending on this years results, that titre testing every two years will be my agenda from now on. Wandy was done last year, Zola the year before. Ill get them both done tomorrow, then they can be done together in future. Havent had any dramas with the heartworm jabs as yet, and Im hopeless at the monthly chewables!! Have a new "program" for Zola to help her overcome her anxieties/fears..........Involves a number of exercises to improve her self confidence and distance control. We went and had a looooong lesson with Garth Jennens a couple of weeks ago, and I had such a good time. I feel alot happier about my poor dog now - not quite so stressed about her behaviours!!

I probably wouldn't know a tick though I was drying myself and thought mmm this fluff wasnt coming off, then I asked my hubby what it was and VAVOOM it was a tick! I wear clothes to work but somehow it was under my shirt in the middle of my back, I posted pics to FB, as I couldnt believe it!@ Between the nail varnish remover, dencorub, acetone, clear varnish, vaseline to get it off someone then told my hubby to light a match and burn it off! Considering all the flammable stuff on my back I decided against the possible spontaneous combustion! it was small but you could see the legs and the engorged body!

Have started by WALKING her - and I need to keep it up, for her and me LOL!! Have been for two beautiful long walks after work today and yesterday!! Almost dark when I get back, and there are lots of roos on the way, but I think all three of us enjoyed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
