Snook, why not just get Mr. J a snuggly polar fleece coat ? I bought Hamlet one from a DOL'er a couple of years ago.... and it does the trick. he has not much coat at all.. sleeps on a raised stretcher with some blankets and an old pillow , in my room, where the window is pretty much open all year unless there's minus temps.

the other day , I was playing around, and found an 'online' ( I think) image editor of some sort. It had some features I loved, incl. the ability to adjust light/dark in the top and/or bottom halves of an image Now I have absolutely no idea what it was called . it is NOT picasa, picnik,pixlr,gimp,paint.net,photoscape,lunapic,fotoflexr,phot.o, online photo editor, and , yes, I have looked thru my history ..but that was cleaned ...and I also looked to see if I had downloaded/installed something. No joy. I hate having mush for brains .... can anyone shed some light?

Not cuddly, but might help ! LINK

I think she's doing the right thing- she is now letting you know that her poor old body is sooo tired , and , altho it's hard, I'm sure you will listen .

OK.. he has a bad reaction to many foods..and is refusing to eat ... I suggest you go to a UNI clinic, or someone who will do all the bloods etc necessary to determine if it is an allergic response, or something else in his metabolism . IMO ,No good fiddling with diets if he won't eat, and can't eat so many things:( ..and he'snot getting any better without his AB's /anti itch meds. Poor little guy. I would also be checking as to what insecticide treatment your new house has had, and other things like that ....

..you said he vomited after starting this food ..perhaps his body is telling him NOT to eat it . Will he eat fresh fish /sardines ,mixed with brown rice and a little veg?

Some lovely shots ! I had to smile at maverick'sMission's baboon shot "Talk to the foot" !

Lovely :) I don't find baboons 'ugly'... your shot of the Hamadryas boy is just gorgeous :)

:) :)

That's not good .... if you are worried about her dehydrating ..let her have a few teaspoons of water every 20 mins/1/2 hour. Don't give her free access,as the larger volume of water in the stomach will trigger vomiting ...but little bits may well stay there and be quickly absorbed. Giver her a ginger tablet if you have any , and def. no food. poor girl.

Oh, wow ! I Love the green/pink one :) ART!!! :p

chikko baby - glad she's ok . :) keep food to an absolute minimum today though..to give her tummy a rest.

Hope pup is OK this morning, and it was just just a temporary thing. Pup , vomiting, watery diarrhoea, weekend. When hamlet had a blockage ..he threw up 3 times, had a couple of very watery motions , but aside from that, was racing around like a loon. I took him to the vet straight away , and was glad I did.

:) Duchess looks very regal in that pic. What a pretty girl she is.

Hi ...poor puppy , that doesn't sound good. I suggest you go to a vet now , in case it gets worse overnight ... It may just be a short lived tummy bug , it also may be something which needs treatment by a vet. Also, let the owners of your dog's friends know . Hope all is well by morning ...

Hmmmmm.. Dogs rarely kill 'just for the sake of it ' that's human behaviour IMO dogs attack/kill in response to their perception of things like - invasion of their territory - possible attack- prey animals-possible loss of resources like food . Dogs and cats are predators/carnivores/animals , and they will behave as such when their instincts kick in .Vocalising, hunting, killing are all natural behaviours .Not acceptable in suburbia, perhaps, but natural behaviour.

Awww..loook at those wise old faces ... when dogs get so wise , they need to go & guide young ones over the bridge :) Sorry you are without your little friend now ..

:) Good dog!

Re: feeding, you might find some useful info in this (VERY LONG) thread CLICK HERE She will get the best ratio of calcium:phosphorous, and good amounts, from soft digestible bone :)

Oh! Well Done!!! Bees are not the easiest , and you've caught some terrific shots :)

ALLEGED genetic fault at this stage... hopefully a decent orthopaedic specialist who knows cavs has been chosen, and they will be able provide more information.

I'm sorry your plans seem to have gone up in smoke ..and sorry your pup's in pain. I have had a dog require surgery on one knee only ..he recovered perfectly and was very active all his life :) How old is your pup? is your vet experienced with orthopedic stuff? what testing did he do to come to his conclusion? Are you willing to get another opinion? maybe from someone who specialises in this sort of problem?

Glad you didn't fall ! It was worth it :) :) the spider is probably 'she' ..look closer, and you may see a couple of tiny spiders lurking ..they are the males

depending on the actual allergen .. he may not be restricted as much... there are lots of meats to try ... pork rabbit duck horse goat turkey and so on.
