back again ... if humans want to keep trim ..they EAT LEAN . same for dogs . A teen dog needs energy to grow on , to play on , to keep warm on ..so yes, find some different meaty bits ..bits with skin/fat , and remember HIS food does not have to look like something you'd put on your plate ;) he's a lucky boy for having someone willing to work so hard, when opening a packet or can is easy !

You are feeding a hollow-legged teenager!! I never weigh anything , sorry . if they are losing weight..I increase everything a bit ..and vice versa. Then again ...my eye is pretty good these days . Now ..if you would like to sit, have a cuppa or 10 , and do some reading ..the following older thread is BRILLIANT for all things Raw & Natural - as well as what others will post on here for you . have fun with your boy! CLICK HERE for lots of raw feeding chit chat research This is one post which is one person's informed summary of what they do Worth a read. To open it, click on ...trifecta replied to a topic...

No.. not their bitch ... It is an odd form of allergic response if that ... and OCD definitely needs intervention . keep us posted

Awww...how nice to see them again

ok..my favourite Monarto shot ... Hannah ( thanks , @grizabella )having a sunny snooze .... I was looking down from the walkway ..magic .

my favourite quote : "That'll do, pig" :)

Lovely photos again, Grizabella Enzi is certainly growing up , while still acting as a cheeky toddler - exploring his talents, getting in others' way , having fun ..and looking at his world thru bright eyes it was SO good to see them all on Saturday .

Excellent! ... they really are amazing

That's my hand on a Rhino's side At Monarto  Zoo last Saturday .

This first one isn't taken by me ..but , well ... guess where I went on saturday ? and this ...at the B&B in which I stayed . Such a quirky and fun place !

Awwwww

That sounds pretty drastic . Are you in your own home, or renting ? As well as info on what type of fence ..can you give us some info on what else your dogs do during their days ?

This morning, I happened across this LIVE ! interesting discussion .

.....and this just happened ( yes, photographed thru a dirty work vehicle window ..I know . Unexpected pleasures, & all that ) This wren was giving 'the other' a very vocal telling off!!

@Roova that does look fun ..and colourful .be christmas decoration time soon :P

Bellissima !

A new week ..and a new photo . Hmmmm An apostlebird keeping an eye out for dangers from above

Go, Gypsy ! Well Done to you both

Hi Mildred ..are you able to post up a photo of a meal you give the dogs, or a 'recipe' ? LOL how much dry ( and which brand ) , how much rice/pasta /veg/meat ? That may help . Also - how much poo are you seeing/picking up ? Which picture matches it closest ?

Good for him!! .

Because it's true ? ;) I had a dog with a luxating patella .. after quite a few times of it slipping to one side, and me pushing it back in , he had surgery and had many years of active and happy life after it . he was a cocker spanielXborder collie . There are some non-surgical treatments for Luxating Patella ( depending on severity/individual dog, etc ) which can also be explored Here are two previous threads about Luxating Patellas : LINK1 LINK2

Good progress indeed :D She has a sweet face !

and sometimes that is just not enough , especially when there is a parent with the final decision

thanks for that ...it's been in my head all day .... :P
