persephone

Sounding promising ... Spey when full of infection is not pleasant ..she is doing well. I remember when Mum's old dog got pyo and was speyed ..she was pretty flat for a couple of days .

:) it's different thru my eyes . I see starvation of wildlife and our sheep . the shrivelling and dying of bushes and trees . the erosion , and sand drift covering any remaining butts of tough grasses . the loss of small seeds in the dust storms the loss of income to neighbouring farms who need to sow grain and can not .. and the loss of ephemeral waterways /waterholes which support many birds & amphibians .. Gotta love the peppercorn trees though (that is a peppercorn tree I see in the middle of the shot isn't it?...glasses in other room lol). They really rock the dry and hot conditions don't they. yes :) the old pepper trees are a wonderful thing :)

Hope things are better today :)

:) to me it seems the proportions of fun /training are lopsided ;) learning/training ...when you are out & about - do several 5 -10 minute sessions , with frisbee etc as a REWARD ;)

Dog sleeping indoors = problem solved :)

pottering is OK .. ask westiemum about older wandering dogs in the night ....

He has his moments :)

These sorts of threads are great to leave up - they are a good resource for others doing their research :)

Lucky Amber ;)

The DON , this evening :)

looks good to me :)

it is good you have a caring team ! yes, this time you have both of you to consider ...

awww:) Lovely!!

That's one for the vet and you ... It's a tricky one - cos if she's still a bit dopey , and sore and feeling ill , she may benefit from the warmth and drip and observation ? Obviously if she's brighter and walking ..then home would probably be a happier place :D

Hmmm..yes... her being in care overnight would maybe allow you to relax a bit more , and not check every few minutes ....

My dogs are left outside all day if i am not home. they just sleep, and enjoy the sun, Bark at the postman and resume sleeping. But report me to the rspca for their terrible lives ;) They are a companion breed, but they are also dogs. Yeh but Denali - you're in Q where your days (generally) aren't as cool as the OPs. And you have three for company and you're an experienced owner. True! One little puppy or dog is a lot different to two or three :)

Great update ! :)

having TWO pups - one of them needing ALL your attention and work doesn't sound much fun to me ;) many labs do not do adult until around 2 yrs of age ...and I would never put a small puppy with a boisterous lab - small things break too easily

Oh :) So that's what he's doing these days . I knew him way back in the 80's! He was the best then - did all the Guide Dogs' testing /orthopaedic surgery , and fixed my Mitch's luxating patella beautifully . *resume normal programming* sorry for the hijack

ouch she doesn't have to be in the house :) Take her out frequently in the car! Take her to places where she can smell/hear/see all sorts of things . I suggest you consult a specialist ... a new pair of eyes ..some expert knowledge never goes astray . Best of luck with it - poor girl .

stitch .. I have used the anti-inflammatory mixture from McDowell Herbal :) It did wonders for our old horse with an arthritic hip .Phone them and have a chat :)

Go, RUFUS!! That's pretty good work :) I just wish the crows wouldn't steal the walnuts!! They love them, and oranges ....

:) luckily there are no routine times here ...except for the CAT ..she's the one who knows the times and yowls :)

it certainly is all shitty timing ..and 'rock:hard place' situation.
