DaisyDog Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Maybe this is an over-reaction but given there is now Multiguard, a non toxic snail bait, I almost wish the old green stuff could be lobbied to be banned, or sold under license somehow. Sorry to sort of go technical, but it's important that people know that Multiguard is definitely NOT non-toxic. It supposedly tastes bitter, so not as appetising as the others, but if enough is ingested it can most definitely be fatal. Yes I know of a pup that died. Use beer people if you feel the need to kill snails.. Or coffee. Coffee kills snails. So deeply sorry for your loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Flying Furball Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 JulesP, I have been so concerned for you since reading your post.It is so shocking, unexpected and seems so unfair for Brock and all of you. What a sad thing to happen. I hope that you can find a way to ensure your other dogs are safe, something practical to focus on... Treat yourself well, as Pers suggested, and cuddle your girls (if they are cuddly types!). There is lots of love and support for you on here, so come in if you feel too bad... xx from me and Tonka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty Miss Emma Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 from me and Emma and Kenzie I agree with Persephone - do something decadent for yourself, you deserve a treat of some sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 ..oh, and Jules- one good thing about living alone ..one can cry & get snotty and red eyed , and it doesn't matter ;) You can also go to bed ..or swear at the moon . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 What Pers said. It does get easier, although at this stage, it feels as though it can't - and seeing the reaction of the girls is hard too. I love that the cats know you need comfort - wish we could do something other than send you cyber sympathy and hugs - but you know you have that - and our tears for you and Brock, and for our lovely dogs that have gone too soon. Take care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeiPei Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I'm so sorry for your loss. Poisoning any animal is terrible. I really hope that it wasn't done on purpose by some nasty person. I remember when someone covered the largest dog park in Adelaide with snail bait. A few dogs died & it took ages for the park to be re-opened. I always refill and clean the dog water bowls at the parks - always worried that it wouldn't take much for someone to spike it. Don't blame yourself - try to focus on the good times.

PossumCorner Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Jules I only just read this, I am so very sorry, it is the saddest news. Lost my Doberman the same way years ago, the grief does soften with time but it is a terrible loss to endure. Wish there were words to help. If I can come over and help in a practical way any time at all this week just say. I'm glad you are still with Croydon they are so good - I haven't been to club since I retired Frodo from flyball. Just devastating to lose young Brock like this, rest in peace beautiful boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulesP Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Feeling fairly crap as I sure you can all imagine. The girls are still quiet but I did get squeaked at by Poppy when I got home today and Amber managed a woohoo. A friend took me to get the car steam cleaned. Was very hard getting back in the car. I really appreciate all your kind thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
