  1. kirty, you do excellent work ... it is a shame that semantics got in the way here Hope the surgery is a very successful one :)
  2. Sorry to hear the news- but at least you now KNOW , and have a vet who will take the time to explain :)
  3. Some of our names Bo Caillie Dulcie Fred Hamlet Indiana Kieran Leo Merle Mitchell Molly Neddles Oi! Puddenhead Weasel Mr. Wiggles

  5. Ask the other vet to explain what is happening! Best of luck with the second opinion.
  6. A lot of people wold kill to have a dog like that :) Dog owners/car owners/gardeners/ train your dog to toilet ON COMMAND when with you .. then, whether on or off lead, you have control when out & about :)
  7. The bl/tan ???? How wonderful! They look perfect????
  8. have you contacted a professional behaviouirist ? Jane Harper is in QLD> has a vet behaviourist prescribed the prozac ? Hopefully you can find a vet behaviourist who can help . You are correct - this has crossed a line . Did she have a thorough vet check /scan for tumours in her brain /blood tests?
  9. good news!! Dear Old Thing :) Wonder if it's anything to do with Whippet physiology?
  10. ohhh- yes, I believe strongly in dogs choosing their people :) Thanks for sharing .
  11. Ok ... I am happy with this one-shot-wonder!! Molly and friend .
  12. You won't need an electric blanket!! :) What a fabulous picture !
  13. Don't overthink it ;) just wondering, too - and I have no idea- but could some of it be because she is always "on" when with you ? being with you is a signal to be awake & doing stuff ? I have never had a 'chewy' pup , thank goodness ! What does she do when just left outside ? these might interest you too :) LINK 1 LINK 2
  14. oh :) I AM glad to hear she's on AB's .Now you can at least take a breath - and concentrate on spoiling her rotten
  15. ohh that's a worry , poor old girl .
  16. Thinking of you , & hoping the xanax helps!
  17. We call them 'termites'. Go anywhere, chew thru anything, no respect for anyone!! I don't even enjoy the taste when one happens to fall in the freezer ...... Our dear old Merinos are on our side of the new boundary fence - even tho there are only posts at present!! LOL
  18. Mary is thin ..but I'm trying to be careful with food ... I dread enterotoxaemia - so it's lots of chaff /roughage , with limited grazing on the wet stuff for now .Luckily she likes chaff, and LOVES rose and apple branches :)
  19. Molly and the new kid on the block - Mary Mary, quite contrary ...
  20. and a horrible slow agonising death if they get caught up in them too. I'm currently working with a startup company on developing a virtual fence for cattle. We envisage that it will be particularly useful for fencing off rivers, waterways and riparian zones and have had a lot of interest from Catchment Management Authorities and wildlife/conservation groups. brilliant :) forever in our part of the world, old 4/5 strand wire fences were the norm . Properties were large , and the good ol' merinos would usually stay in their own paddocks, fence or not! LOL Emus/macropods could access the travelling paths they have used for centuries .... Now, with places being divided, and the scourge of the outback (DORPERSHEEP) being popular , fencing needs to be strong and absolutely impenetrable as these darn things have no respect .I have seen them run thru a 5 strand BARBED wire fence ..wriggle under ringlock (which is why electric outrigger wires are being used) and just absolutely wreck fencing > We will never see an emu on our little patch again , as we have had to ringlock our boundary to stop next door's dorpers marching in - contaminating our merino flock , and eating everything - just like goats :p I hate the stuff.
