RubyStar Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Can anyone recommend a good walking trail, bush or otherwise of decent length, that is relatively quiet and allows/is safe for offlead dogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 RS - Chidlow :D It's our winter weekend stomping ground as we can usually have a 2hr walk without seeing another sole apart from the odd cyclist. As you approach Chidlow from the great eastern highway there is a roundabout when you hit the town, the heritage trail starts on the right there and is a defined track through the bush. We won't be going for a while due to Louis's illness He's doing pretty well and has a good appetite, the steroids are making him so thirsty at the moment so it's a constant cycle of drink/pee/drink/pee. He's back for more blood tests next week and I'm just trying to research and find out the best diet/treatment for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Thanks for the recommendation! I might have to try that place sometime :) Glad to hear Louis is doing well! Sucks about the steroids side effects, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 There was a DOL meet YEARS ago at some place with a waterfall or something which I didn't go to, does anyone remember the name of that place? I think it's where ozjen slipped or something If I have that part wrong I'm sorry ozjen, it just rings a bell is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Lesmurdie Falls?? Is that offlead dog friendly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pie Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I believe you are thinking of whistle pipe gully - I used to go there all the time and we had a dol meet there - it's off lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasels Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Lesmurdie Falls?? Is that offlead dog friendly? Lesmurdie is 'on-leash' but the times we went there we only saw one other person (with an off-lead dog) :) It's lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I believe you are thinking of whistle pipe gully - I used to go there all the time and we had a dol meet there - it's off lead Thanks, I figured that out not long after Think it's the place I went to with you that one time. Going tomorrow if anyone wants to join us. Message me for details if interested :) Thanks TheLBD, another place I think I want to try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubyStar Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Fantastic morning at Whistlepipe Gully this morning with 5 dogs! Gorgeous day for it. Here is a photo of 4 of them having a ball in one section of the abundance of water play choices! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 They are having so much fun RS :) My kids probably would have liked it as neither Jive nor Liss went into the water past their belly when they got to go to our dam on Sunday :laugh: I really need to take my camera next time I take them out rather than relying on my mobile :p Hopefully all the convalescent dogs are doing well still Poor Varda will join them next week as she needs to have an operation The inguinal hernia which they previously tried to repair has gotten lots bigger recently so they are now willing to try again Means she might not make it to the Lappy Champ show but her health is much more important!

mirawee Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) A few photos of Jive and Liss from the weekend... Running through the paddocks... Exploring among the trees... Liss is growing up so fast! Doing laps of the dam... Getting their feet wet...or at least Jive telling Liss to be careful the monster doesn't pull her in :laugh: Climbing up the mountain...

mirawee Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Liss is growing up so fast LOL. She is still a rat though :p Ptolomy, unfortunately the dogs don't get out there as much as I would like... I will have to make more of an effort this summer :) Seld, our property is gorgeous :) Now if only it was less 5 minutes from work (instead of 1.5hrs) and didn't require maintenance Oh and 5 mins from DogsWest would be nice too rather than 50 mins!

RallyValley Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Still jealous Mirawee ;). Time is going so slow now I have an ultrasound booked for Zora next week... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Lovely to see all the dogs having so much fun :D Louis update - He had a bit of a relapse and stopped responding so well to the pred, so another immune suppressant drug, Cyclosporine, has been added. Hopefully as a result of this his PCV rose from 24 to 28 over 3 days. He's having an abdominal ultrasound today and getting the results from the latest full blood count. The worst thing at the moment is seeing his muscle wastage from the high pred dose. He now has little chicken legs and I'm feeling the bones in his skull - hate seeing him like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirawee Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Poor Louis (((hugs))) to you CC. Seems there is a string of bad luck for WA DOL dogs atm Varda is having an operation today on her inguinal hernia. It was previously fixed but only one side held - when she saw the vet a couple of weeks ago the vet was horrified at how big it was and wanted to have her in again ASAP to fix it Slightly annoyed as I have had it checked a few times throughout the years since it was originally done and I have always been told it isn't worth trying again as it is harder to repair after one failed attempt Now I am hoping all goes smoothly and she isn't shaved too badly as she is meant to be competing in Melbourne in a months time :laugh: Obviously her health is the most important thing though and if she doesn't get to Melbourne so be it :) I hate having a dog in at the vets having an operation though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Ugh that sucks mirawee hope all has gone well for Varda today :) Nothing was found in the ultrasound Louis had yesterday, so it confirms we are dealing with a primary IMHA. We're adding in melatonin at the vets recommendation - it's supposed to work alongside the Cyclosporine to aid the immue suppressant properties. We're also starting to reduce his Pred, as although his blood is still agglutinating, he is on a really high dose and I think the side effects will kill him before the IMHA does at this rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
