The spray I used to use on my Tibetan terriers was 3/4 fill a spray bottle with warm water and then fill the rest of the bottle with Schwarzkopf Leave in conditioner. I used that for years was fantastic.

Sounds like it had more problems than just being hungry.

OK. no problem.

Boronia, I think you might find it difficult to get a photo editor compatible to the Linux version you have. What did you want done with the pic. I see it in the wildlife section? Can I be of any help ?

mish13, do you mean your siggy ? Ozstar has offered to do it. I also do siggys if anyone wants one done.

Have done one for you mavericksmission.

Get them done as soon as possible. We took our 11 year old bitch down to the vets on Monday to get him to check out her mammary lumps and he said he would do her that day. He did a full mammary strip, which strips the lot of her mammary glands on the side the lumps are on. .

This is the pic of Benita taken a few minutes ago. She has a drain in which will be removed tomorrow. She is not dirty, she has mottley skin from age.

Wow! That is a large incision. I hope Benita is recoving well.

Sorry cavNrott didn't see your post until today. Yes Benita is doing extremely well thanks, the vet is pleased with her as well. It's amazing how the oldies bounce back from some pretty big ops.

just an idea :laugh:

(pity about the green tongue!)

Love that pic boronia, Here they are with pink tongues.

This is the worst part of having dogs MadWoofter, having had multiple dogs for many years and most of them around the same age give or take a year or two, it is really hard when you know their time is coming. We are on watch with our oldies all the time, usually we make the decision when their quality of life is no more, as much as we don't want them to go it is the kindest thing for them. Even though it breaks our hearts, we know that we have always done the right thing by them and they have never wanted for anything, our home is their home. I make memorial posters for our kids at Rainbow Bridge and it helps just being able to look at them as they were.

He did a full mammary strip, which strips the lot of her mammary glands on the side the lumps are on. She is the second of our bitches who have had a mammory strip, the other bitch was the same age, but her lumps were much further advanced and she ended up with cancer in her soft palate which was inoperable.

I don't hold with the need to tattoo a dog for idiot purposes, but probably hurts less than hot branding horses or cattle, now that would be sore.

Mac looks ever so comfy in his mobile, westiemum. They have become really popular for rescues with oldies. Lovely to know the oldies can get out and enjoy life too.

Any sign of Lucian yet. I hope he is found soon. I don't see any updates on their fb page about him, only winning show pics.

Shared. Poor boy, hope he is found safe and sound.

It all depends on how many you feel comfortable with. We used to have 17 and now have 6. What with us and 4 of them getting on in age, 6 is just nice.

My breed Tibetan Terriers, are referred to in most of their breed reference books about them, as "The little people of Tibet"

What does it matter what people call their dogs. I call our dogs "furkids" not 'furbabies' when I am talking about them. I have had my family and now our dogs are our family, they live in the house with us, but are free to come and go as they please. It really is only just an expression, not harming anyone, the same as skin kid referring to a human kid.

If you consider that what people call their dogs is a reflection of how they treat them, I think it matters.

Erny's post suggests that this is the case.

I don't treat our dogs as humans, they are much loved dogs and I am their pack leader and they are very well behaved and not feral. In most cases "furkids" is just an endearing term as far as I can see.

Failing all else, does your local council or anyone around your area have rat dogs, as in that I mean they keep a small pack of dogs especially trained for ratting and you can arrange to have them come out and clean out the rats from your sheds etc. Our local council used to have them, don't know if they still have. My best two mousers have passed on now, but one was a Bichon and the other was a Chinese Crested Powder Puff x Tibetan Terrier, and they worked as a team, the bichon would huff and puff at one end of the cupboard, and send it up the other end to the waiting one. They were both good quick clean killers. So they don't necessarily need to be a terrier type, it all depends on the individual dog.

Sounds like he may be exhibiting signs of dementia. I have had a few dogs with dementia, and all started out with different symptoms. The obsessive part was one of them. They seem to go through different stages as the dementia progresses. My worst one used to tear at the bed clothes etc. then started self mutilating. I would see the vet anyway and get him thoroughly checked out, but only you can monitor his behaviour and see any changes if it does progress to dementia.

Looks great westiemum, and mac looks very relaxed with your driving. Makes life so much easier doesn't it?

Looks great Westiemum, lucky you can go and pick it up. I think Mac will love it, and think he is just hunky dory.

The little Red Macmobile. Can't wait to see it (complete with a pic of Mac) when you get it/finish it.

She has got that "Who me" look. Digging to China.

westiemum, if you try this link, it gives pretty good details on the site, and the stroller is also collapsible. Looks nice and comfy too.
