  1. Oh yay!! Was the dog quite reserved? They are usually aloof with strangers but I do know a couple who buck that trend.
  2. One of my dogs wouldn't like it, so she stays home with a kong. My boy loves a market and is very well behaved, would never pee on a stall or person, reads dogs extremely well, etc. Also I am aware he is with me (rather than just trailing him behind lol), so I am watching and won't put him in situations I don't want him to be in. Owners need to be honest with themselves, not all dogs are the social butterfly's they may want them to be. Not all people are.
  3. Phahaha! Nope, it is the prefix like Blinkblink said ???? They wouldn't be doing any crosses!
  4. Shanti Soul peeps are also the breeders behind Furball Finnish Lappunds! Lol! ????
  5. There is a huge difference between Tibetans, especially the Google photos (usually from China) that show huge bumbling bears and then the 'true' TM's. Still big, fluffy dogs, especially when in coat, but a lot more athletic looking. Here are some photos of stunning dogs bred in Australia: http://www.shantisoultibetanmastiffs.com/gallery.shtml
  6. That makes it even worse in my view - she was already claiming they didn't source from puppy farms so should have been scrupulous in checking their sources. However we all know it is total BS anyway as no breeder worth their salt would sell to a pet shop Yep, either way it's ridiculous!
  7. Thanks CC :) Yep, she wanted personal recommendations as you never know if the online reviews are from business owners! Any one heard of Pet Travel Specialists?
  8. Hi All. I have a friend moving back to the UK with her family in the next few months, including her dog. Any recent recommendations on transport companies, etc? Cheers :)
  9. Thank you! I did try looking earlier in the light but had the same issue you've mentioned ???? She is a lot more comfortable today, been barking and everything, so must feel better haha!
  10. Yep, in both eyes :) Thank you so much Kirty! Now let's hope they stay back there!
  11. Yep, Primary Lens Luxation. Sorry, I was all rushed when posting! She is on Alphagan (brimonidine tartrate) 1.5mg both eyes twice a day and Carprieve 20mg tablet once a day. I was told the latanoprost wasn't nessary as the Alphagan is doing the same....is this right? I tried to call the specialist today to double check (as info was in message passed on by vet nurse) but she isn't working till Monday. Should I try and find another specialist today and ask about the drops? Her eyes this morning look almost normal and she is happily on 'bird patrol' in the garden! Thank you both for the support ????
  12. She didn't! She was sedated and then went they went to do the surgery the lens had gone into the back of the eye! She is on the drops and glaucoma and tablets. We have to rush her back if it gets bad again. She is still squinting and obviously in pain with it Will take her in on Monday if we don't end up there anyway this weekend.
  13. Thank you so much Kirty! I never think of the questions till I've left the surgery lol.
  14. Thanks for the reply Kirty. The surgery is being done at a specialists here in Perth (that is also recommended on DOL I found, that put my mind at ease :) ). Glaucoma has occurred in the right eye. This all started with emergency vets visit 10 days ago. I came home to her with a sore, cloudy eye, thought glaucoma and rushed her off. The 24hr vet diagnosed a small scratch on the eye and sent us home with drops. Went to our own vet two days later (it was looking better) for check up, they couldn't see a scratch and were puzzled but could see a small ulcer so said just keep doing drops. It was back to normal until I came home last night, swollen, red, cloudy, couldn't see a pupil.... My vet sent us straight to the specialist (I understand that most vets don't pick this up, you need a specialist). She looked at Belle (Jack Russell) and guessed what it was straight away! She was lovely and explained everything but doesn't stop me worrying! She said pretty much what you have about not doing the eye with the lens at the back. What worries me about that eye is the pressure is 41. Belle lives for doing her zoomies and sprints around a field. She was also very reactive when we adopted her and I worry losing sight will make her fearful again What I forgot to ask is what should I expect to see when I pick her up? Will her eye be stitched up to allow healing? Sorry if stupid question - I'm clueless!
  15. My girl goes in for lens Luxation surgery this morning It's been a stressful night but at least we have answers. Her right eye is being operated on tomorrow, her left lens is very loose but probably won't be done until this one has recovered (due to lens being 'far back'). Anyone here had it done and can make me feel better? Did you dog retain any eyesight?
  16. My dog comes to the hairdresser with me. He plays with the salon dog in the garden whilst my colour develops, then sits on my lap whilst I get it cut and dried. The salon dog gets invited into people's laps for a cuddle and everyone leaves de-stressed and happy :) I agree not for all, so plenty of salons they can go to with no dogs.
  17. Same here - but I can't listen to SOAD without headphones as my dogs hate it (even on low volume) ???? Edited to add - Louis CK voicing a kids character....awesome!
  18. I've fostered three under 2 years old and currently have a senior (over 10) year old foster. We have lots, including pups, come through rescue. Check out www.petrescue.com.au if you are interested in adopting.
  19. Sorry to hear that about your friend, I hope it's not bad news
  20. Is the girl with SOS? Someone else is enquiring who is close by....
  21. Mine are living forever lalalalala *fingers In ears* lallalala
  22. Lovely, lovely dogs! We used to see one at a local dog park, he'd just amble along handing out smoochies ???? I seriously considered them (before the very different Tibetans stole my heart lol), but the short life span was a worry for me.
