  1. I don't think Coprophagia has anything to do with reactivity, quality of food, vitamins or anything else. I have one poo eater who has been fed premium dog food and meaty bones all her life. She is twelve now and is perfectly healthy and has never had problems with other dogs or people. Until the last couple of years she had the shiniest coat of any of my dogs. She just likes the taste of poo. I don't think there's anything you can do about it - just avoid kisses.
  2. Great news! And what a relief. I've been checking in so often. I hope Reba and her pups continue to do well.
  3. Just saw Rocket on the news. I had to reach for the tissues too.
  4. There are plenty of videos of dogs working sheep in Yard and Utility trials available at the Working Kelpie Council's web page http://www.wkc.org.au/ Just go to the Photos and Videos tab at the top of the page and then to video gallery.
  5. I've been working hard to get my online submission completed but keep getting the following message "A Database Error Occurred Error Number: 1366 Incorrect string value: '\x80\x9Cfact...' for column 'answer' at row 1" Is anyone else getting this? Yes, I put in a submission and kept getting this message. After a bit of head scratching, I worked out that it doesn't accept grammatical symbols such as apostrophes. Not sure why, but when I took them out, the program accepted them. JK Thank you. I'll try again.

  7. I'm sorry to hear this. RIP Piper
  8. My Ruff had a bout of vestibular when he was about 14. His eyes were flickering from side to side and he couldn't keep his balance. I took him to the vet sure that he'd had a stroke and fearing the worst but was soon reassured that is wasn't serious. He wasn't as bad as some dogs I've known and although his balance was affected he could still eat. I had to put a towel under him to help him walk outside and apart from this he spent most of his time in his bed. I had to raise his food bowl as he would fall over if he put his head down. He was wobbly for about ten days but then improved quickly although he had a head tilt for some months. He never had another bout. Here's hoping that Lily will be feeling better soon and you will recover from the fright.
  9. Because the initial reports said Harry was a Kelpie.
  10. I'm so sorry to hear this. I've followed Charlie's story since you were the first person to welcome me when I joined DOL. What a wonderful life you gave him and how lucky you were to find each other. I'll light a candle for him.
  11. That's because mother nature knows how dogs should look.
  12. And considering that Red Dog had such a flatulence problem, I can't see too many people wanting a dog just like him for a pet.
  13. So true! I thought there was too much emphasis on kilometres, being boss etc. and not enough about giving the dog company and plenty of mental stimulation.
  14. Thanks for the update. I'm glad Emma is doing well but like you I wish she was more careful. Do dogs realize how much they scare us?
  15. My old dog had a bout of vestibular and was unsteady on his feet for quite a while. I had to put down some dog mattresses outside my back door as he would go down the step and try to turn and would fall over. I had to raise his food dish as he would lose his balance when he put his head down. He never lost his appetite but spent most of his time in his bed. At first I would walk him with a towel under his stomach to help him keep his feet. He was able to walk independently within about a week but still had a head tilt for a few months.
  16. While I'm sorry you were on the receiving end, it's so good to know that Emma is enjoying her food and is being cheeky. I'm glad she's going to be able to share Christmas with you.
  17. And if all men who had ever visited a prostitute were barred from the police force, what impact would that have on police numbers?
  18. I'm so sorry to hear this. I never met Toby but loved seeing his pictures and hearing about him.
