    Does Anyone Want A Sketch Done Of Their Furball?

    in General Dog Discussion

    Posted

    It's not so much if I am still taking names or not as it is how long you guys are willing to wait :p I will always be looking for something to doodle, just probably not consistently as I am now! (Yes, a week for a single sketch is consistent for me :laugh:)

    That said, if I do continue with this indefinitely, I will PM whoever is next on 'the list' :)

    Thanks Corie, I don't mind waiting :)

    I can PM it to you bigger as well, sorry about me and the background etc. If it's too much of a pain to do, please let me know.

    Thanks Corie :)

    Raiden

    in Rainbow Bridge

    Posted

    When I saw this thread was in the RB section, I thought that there was no way that this could be real.

    Lhok I am so incredibly sorry. Losing a pet is such an awful thing under any circumstance, but I'm so sorry to hear that Raiden has been taken from you, far too soon.

    I know how excited you were about getting him and how much you research and planning you had done. You are an amazing owner and I'm sure he loved every minute with your family.

    Run free Raiden. Huge hugs Lhok.

    Luxating Patella

    in General Dog Discussion

    I definitely wouldn't do both at once. Kyojin had luxating patella's in both legs, but his left was definitely worse than the other. So we operated on that one first. We had to confine him for 6 months afterwards, much longer than expected. His leg is great now though and since having the surgery, his other one has never popped out once. We think that having the surgery on one leg meant that he had to rely on his other one more and that this probably strengthened it, because both of his knees would pop out several times a day, but then since the day of the surgery, his right leg has been perfect as well. I wouldn't do two at once as it may not be necessary and it's a really awful process for the dog to go through.

    Feeding Your Dog

    1 dog, fed just on dry (ProPlan) about $25 a week. He gets yoghurt sometimes too which is $10 a tub and lasts him a few weeks. Oh and egg and rice thrown in sometimes too, but that's usually just when I have eggs I need to get rid of or if I've cooked too much rice etc so it's not a specific purchase for him.

    Pet Insurance Policy Change

    I just got a letter from Medibank yesterday as well. I was paying $220 a year for Kyojin on the Silver cover, with a $500 excess. They said that I will now get up to 80% back on bills, $200 excess (So no option to pay a higher excess to reduce premium) and my yearly fee has gone from $220 to $490 - to cover the rising cost of veterinary care. So it's more than doubled, and I now get less for it. I have been stoked with Medibank so far, but to double the cost of my fees AND reduce what I get back from them is ridiculous. I'm going to call PetPlan and see whether they'll cover Kyojin since he's already had one surgery on one patella, because I can pay the same amount for them on the 100% money back option.

    I wish I could introduce those people to our dogs so that they could experience Rotty goodness and smooches, rather than bad behaviour!

    Ohh pick me. I want to smooch Nova's little face!

    If you wanted to smooch the cute little face in my signature, then we would have to travel back in time raz :D

    However, if you wanted to smooch her "not-so-little-anymore" face, then c'mon down! :laugh:

    I want to smooch her big face!!

    Rotties will always be my other favourite breed. The two bitches I owned were the sweetest dogs and I've had loads of wonderful experiences with other Rotties that I've met.

    Pet Insurance Non Rant

    I paid $250 yearly premium with Medibank, and then 4 months later Kyojin started having issues with his patellas. Paid the $500 excess and we've received almost $10k worth of treatment for that. They were incredibly easy to deal with. We just posted off the forms and every single time we had the money within two weeks.

    I know some people say they put $15 or so aside each week as a "just in case" rather than paying for pet insurance, but if we'd done that then we would only have $240.00 towards his vet bills which obviously wouldn't have gotten us very far!
