  1. yes.. not 'just' farmers.. The Boss took me for a drive on one Government-owned property he patrols and proudly showed me groves of young native trees ... all looking healthy, and all germinated/grown since goats have been removed .Goats are absolute death on so many of our indigenous plants , and it was such a thrill to see-even in drought times , the regeneration happening!! He was SO pleased with the visible results of his hard work
  2. Yes..:( I try so hard to not go near the holding yards ..seeing all those makes me sad, tho They put food on the table ..and ARE food ON the table sometimes ... Rge boys showed no fear , whiich is good ..they both used "eye" ...but were a tad too noisy from excitement :P It's a promising start . pudden sat there , wondering ....I am so glad he never got started .
  3. the boys found the yard full of goats. They did spend some time there with The Boss yesterday ... but today was an excursion of their own making oops. Recall? What recall was that ? I had to go in the yard & scoop them up ...they were having such a wonderful time !!! Nothing silly ... the goats certainly were not about to mash them . However , freedom is now severely curtailed for a few days !! 4 mths old & the world's their playground .....*sigh*
  4. I am avoiding photos/coverage ..it cannot do any good -me crying any more . Just heart breakingly terrible.
  5. Interesting question . We can be pretty sure with our Koolies from a couple of weeks ... unsure of Borders ..
  6. from HERE Epsom Salts Foot Bath Did you know this foot bath can assist dogs suffering from seasonal allergies that result in red itchy feet and patterns? In addition, it’s a great way to give your dog a magnesium boost. Use 1/2 a cup of salts in a bucket, start with some boiling water to dissolve the crystals and the add cold water with the result being luke warm water. Soak for 5-10 mins. Give the dog a nice gentle massage or treats to keep them in place. Sometimes it’s a 2 people job. If you have a big dog, you may need to do one foot at a time or use a larger container - if you can get the dog in the bath then that’s awesome and they can have an Epsom salts bath. Dry well after and you can repeat daily. Some chronic dogs are treated up to 4 times a day. Remember, with seasonal allergy dogs, wipe their coats down with a wet towel and rinse feet after walks to rid pollens and contact irritants. The current high humidity in Sydney is not helping skin issue dogs Support your problem dog with a healthy diet with omega-3s and food high in Zinc and E. Be sure to see your Vet if you can’t get a handle on your dogs skin issues - if your Vet isn’t able to help you any further, ask for a referral to a Dermatologist. 1313 10 comments6 shares Belinda Hansen Like CommentShare ✔ Tesalate Sponsored · Don't go traveling without one!

  10. Old dogs have marvellous faces , and much to teach us ...
  11. Oh Dear ... Can you give us some background to work with ? What breed of dog ? Where did you get him ? What were his living conditions at his previous home ? Why did his previous ownder need to rehome him ? What is his daily timetable at your hour house like ?
  12. Clive had some inside time this morning ... he settled himself under a kitchen chair very nicely !! (and surprisingly :P ) The letter fell out my bag .. he didn't even look at it .
  13. Anything fishy - smelling ? Old dogs will often just not be interested in food ..... if the medication is in tablet/pill form ..would it not be easier to use a pill popper or finger to put it in Angel's throat ? That way , you KNOW it's there
  14. Sooty has "gotten to" me more than most of the other most fortunate oldies , for some reason ..maybe he lack of sight added to everything else ? Whatever ... each time a new comment pops up I am hoping it's more good news LMO .. Y'know, in the distant future, as you cross'that" rainbow ... you'll need security guards , cos there will be SO many wagging tails & lolling tongues awaiting you
  15. Oh, bugga poor dog/s ... and poor little baby
  16. take puppy to the vet . that is most important . get the vet to write the reasons for the eye popping...check vision, and then explain things to you .
