Something to consider is to getthem something like an igloo in which to sleep :D A lo-roofed, warm and soft 'igloo' keeps in the body warmth, and protects from drafts. I don't care what bed your dog has... if it's not enclosed on three side/roofed, there will be cold drafts- especially at ground level (unless your house is heated 24/7 :p When regularly visiting cold old ballarat with old Mitch many years ago.. I always took a large piece of foam.. like the stuff mattress overlays are :D I would roll it into a tube.. tie it with string.. and he and his bedding would go in the middle of the 'pipe' . with one end against a wall or covered with blanket- he was as snug as!!

It's a worry - hope they will be ok :D

Ooh- yes, I will do a square :D

:D

Last one - two on the toilet roll! :D

And here is a gorgeous Southern Bell hunting amongst the Autumn leaves in the garden :D link for frog info I was so lucky last night to spot two of them :p :D

This is a Southern bell frog in our little boat- pond ( an old dead boat..filled with water/weeds) :D link for info on frog

This one is a peron's on the outside loo door :D Pic taken with camera resting on loo roll- no flash- just interior lighting.

Hope the vet visit went ok...

Hi - perhaps it is senility? perhaps they are trying VERY hard to hear/see something ? Sad when the oldies start falling apart :D

x2 :D and welcome! we DO need photos of your boy

I was wondering too .

try getting him to sleep on plain cotton sheets etc washed in hot water ONLY (no detergent) His own bed would be good do you sue any air freshener/insect repellant etc at night? Do YOU shower/spray/anoint yourself with any cream etc at night? Where does he do his final toilet? what plants are around (photos would be helpful). Or- what have ypu used in teh garden recently that he may be rolling in? Does he get any treat at bedtime?

Hopefully it's 'only' a tummy bug Vomiting/bloody stools are usually not from eating rubbish, IMO. If she gets worse before the scheduled app't take her in anyway! Hope she's sorted soon

*yawn* anyone want pancakes?? There is Golden Syrup, cream and/or lemon *finds a spare bit of sofa... back to my audiobook listening... *

lovely idea..can't sew.

I would also suggest you see a vet re her anal glands..

Oh just popped in- busy here ... not the best news . Jed- candle lit- prayers sent . VERY gentle one . *leaves a box of choccies on a coffee table and goes out again*

They are giving you SO many smiley moments . I am so glad .

X2 if you ask on here, someone will recommend a suitable person for you . best of luck with it - No fun getting complaints- and certainly no fun for your dog

baby steps - You will find what works, don't panic With the cats- make sure they have an escape place .. or are able to go outside to their run with no doggy access. Also- try having her on a long lead around teh scaredycat- so you can reinforce her looking to you, and remind her when she looks at the cat. ;)

Snail bait is just an accident waiting to happen. RIP Phoebe. So Sorry baifra.

all that sugar.

have your dog checked for HYPOGLYCAEMIA , as well as heart function. friends of ours had similarprob- took ages to rule out heart.... turned out it was hypoglycaemia .

!!! How awful It's not as if the camels are something strange at Cable beach.... What is there to investigate, I wonder?
