:) fashionable and effective protection ............. or something :p Don's new bellyband!

I have an image /dream of an older me, & a cat (that is non negotiable) & a smallish , bright dog I've/we've owned lots of dogs- from mini foxies to Rotties /worked closely with a good selection , including the beautiful and sensuous whippets,the large and interesting Bouviers and the solid, dependable labs .... there's only two which are often in my mind. Chinese crested Frenchies ..once, in my previous life I was * * this close to owning one .... dear Poppy , with her smiling little face ... That's all .

The two black dogs :) this afternoon .

How wonderful. Thank you for the update and photos, and SEVEN's skills !! :)

is this it here Jules? it does say Biogestion in the description http://eastdist.com....t-beef-rice-4kg and also here https://marxgrocer.c...dogs-dry-foods/ and here also http://salce.com.au/...15e3fd203323325 edited as I can't spel Yep, thanks. I guess there will still be bags of it around. None of my local places had it which is why I emailed them. She is having the Nourish at the moment which comes in a small bag. I was hoping to get the 4kg Biogestion instead. Has been the first dry food that she has actually eaten. Don't know if it is the size of the kibble or the fact it is softer. She normally just spits kibble out. Right now she is a normal weight and doesn't even feel boney I think de-sexing agreed with her :p That's good news! :)

I remember the vet telling me one thing which has remained in my brain. With malassezia .. always make sure the anal area gets cleaned/treated regularly, as the anus is one of the sources. When dogs curl up esp. ...then lick feet, they transfer nasties that way ... So backsides & between toes are important areas to treat/keep dry :)

yep :) the mini goodo's even get the geriatrics here looking like they've seen the fountain of youth! I like 'em because they don't go off , are easy to carry and handle ... :)

There seems to have been a cleanup ....

He seems to be gradually settling in - might take him a while though .... LOL

I use the mini good'os !! They are magic :)

isn't he just great! ? he looks a cool dude !

Check back with the breeders as well as a vet check :) if it's a hernia, it's odd the breeder or their vet didn't notice/tell you . make sure the vet does a thorough check .. of all things puppy - teeth/jaw , eyes/ears/testicles/ joints/ skin/feet .. That way you will have a benchmark :)

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

he will be a very handsome boy :) Such a sweet face !

ermmm , sometimes when she sits up & gives me 'the look' it seems so LOL

Ash is still 'pup' so spends more time with me ... he had just been told off for being a grump ;) Miss Molly - she certainly is different, yes ! I will admit to admiring how she adapted to this 'new to me' vehicle .previously it was front seat only . Now, she waits for me to open the back door to get in and out ...

Travel, as it is here . Dogs in the dogbox, and bitches /princesses on the back seat :p The princess will not even think about riding in the dogbox ! Hmph!

Molly certainly has some genetic leanings ..she has incredible 'eye'.. but she's my house baby ;) She can run like a whippet .so fast!!

belly bands are not designed to be used all day ......for hygeine/comfort ..so not sure . if it were me ..I'd buy a carpet square for their use ..and keep doors shut ( bedroom/bathroom doors are kept shut here anyhow )

Just bought a couple from a place online - the lady sounded very nice... thanks. It will be interesting when they arrive !

Thanks! I like the no sew idea :) ..D'oh. In days gone by I have made pup 'jamas out of tracksuit pant legs , so -- yes! Thankyou .

I've seen heaps online - ranging from 60 down to 3 dollars ... but am just not sure what to really look for .. and are there any you recommend?

I've not been near a sewing machine for decades!

*sigh* I am looking to buy a couple of Dog bellybands - but have no idea which are better/worse. My boys are , well, lacking training - and will mark inside if not watched 120% of the time .I can't afford'fashion' prices - but need something sturdily made :) I have been looking around - and am now totally confused . Any DOLer make them???
