I know everyone on here understands how I'm feeling right now and I thank you all for your kind words and thoughts for me and Hoover. My little guy made such a huge impact in my life and at the moment everything just feels so wrong.

You were always just here and now you're not and there is just a huge big hole and I can't stop crying. You're not following me around the house from room to room and you're not on my lap on the couch and you're not snuffling around the garden anymore chasing whatever moves and I can never hold you again, you're just not here and nothing will ever be the same. You bought the fun to the house and you were the buffer between the two girls and now it's just too quiet and too empty without you. You taught me so many things from the day you came home with me, I'd lost both Dozer and my Dad a few months before and you were going to help me get through but you were such an independent tiny little thing and I had to work so hard getting you to even like me. I thought you would be all bouncy and snuggly and a typical puppy but not you, you were such a serious, independent and aloof little guy that I thought I'd made the wrong choice. It made it all the harder to watch when you would see my (step) Dad and would go absolutely crazy bonkers to be all over him. You occupied my time so much with all the trying to understand why you weren't what I thought you'd be and trying to turn you into what I wanted you to be and I was so busy trying it took my mind away from the losses I'd had. I used to kiss you goodnight every night when you were on the end of my bed and ask you for a kiss back and it took you two years to walk up to my pillow where you stood and looked at me and when I said kiss you made me cry when you leaned in and licked me for the very first time. We've had years of kisses from then and I thought we would still have years more and now you're just not here for me to cuddle and keep warm and safe and I'm just completely broken. My beautiful special little boy with the gorgeous wise old man eye's - everyone who met you loved you but no one loved you more than I do and I miss you and I just wish you were still here

I got some rubber stair treads from Bunnings ( don't know how to post a link ) but if you go onto the website and search for Black Rubber Stair Treads they will come up.
They sit on top of the stair and have a lip that comes down over the front of the tread. I only have 4 stairs though and you can probably stick them down with a couple of spots of glue if you find they move. About $15 dollars each.

There is a Chiro/Natural therapy centre at Morayfield -Dog Chiropractic and Therapy Centre. I personally haven't any experience with them but maybe someone else has been there.

I too have been following Mac's journey, I'm so sorry that this time has come. My thoughts will be with you this evening and as the others have said, Thank you for sharing your beautiful boy here.

Have sent you a pm - I don't know how to post the link on here.

I got mine from Budget Pet Products - on line. I'm in Brisbane, postage was about $10.
I'm not sure whe're talking about the same product. Enzyplex comes in a tub and is around the $100 mark, perhaps a bit over $100. Has been around that price for the last 6 years.
I think I paid about $95 for the product - The postage/delivery was about $10.

Sorry for your loss Jules - My condolences to both you and your husband and to all of Merry's family and friends.

Your dogs are gorgeous - Louis could be in a shampoo commercial with that beautiful hair.
Sorry I spelt his name wrong.

I have to wipe Hoovers manhood and surrounding area with baby wipes because he squats for peeing most of the time and he gets wee on his hairy skirt and I also have to stick my finger up under Crumpets screw tail every day to keep it clean and dry.

Not sure if these would be of any use but when I worked in a sign shop all the vinyl/print material was supplied on rolls 600mm and 1200mm long ( like giant toilet rolls/postage cylinders ) and about 5 or 6mm thick ( some are thinner ) and you can saw them up with a hacksaw into smaller sizes if needed. I used to bring some home for my lot and we'd give some to the local kindy's for craft projects, otherwise they would just be thrown in the recycle bin. If you have a local signage place you could probably give them a call and ask if they just throw them out could you maybe collect them once or twice a month. Some rolls are thicker than others ( just make sure that you tell them they have to be ALL cardboard ). They usually buy rolls of vinyl in at 50m per roll so if it's a large sign company they will go through more than a few a week. I'd probably store them somewhere inside though in case a snake decided to slide on into one. Maybe not for smaller doggies as the diameter is about 100mm and you don't want one stuck over a little ones head/neck.

I have an occasional destroyer - Crumpet likes to lull me into a false sense of security and then surprise me with a couple of days of complete destruction. I don't think I can even remember all the things she's wrecked since I've had her. She used to do the normal chewing of stuff that I left laying around ( my fault ) when she was little but she's never given up entirely. When I bought a new lounge suite about 3 years ago I'd only had it for 2 days and she chewed the corner of the three seater open and then pulled the torn piece of material all the way along the bottom of the seat. I've gotten out of the shower/bath to countless de-stuffed dog beds/cushions/pillows and floor mats and once she ripped open an outside bean bag lounge. In my old house I had lattice around half of my pergola area and she decided to eat a space big enough probably so that she could walk under it and she didn't have to go around the long way. I think the most worrying thing she chewed was through the bottom corner of my tuckerbox freezer - no broken teeth but lots of cuts and bleeding. She can't have a soccer or football for more than five minutes before she punctures it and rips it up, same goes for any type of rubber toy or stuffed animal. She also tore apart the whole bottom shelf of books from my bookcase. I can never pinpoint exactly what she'll go for next or when and it's not for lack of her own toys, it's always random. She only does it when I'm at home and doing something where I can't see her like mowing the lawn or in the shower or even just hanging out the washing and sometimes it's months between episodes. Since she got stung by a bee she stays inside the house while I'm at work ( I come home at lunchtime to let her out ) and I never come home to any mess on those days. I don't think she's ever going to stop. At least the other 2 don't join in.

I'm so sorry for your loss - Rest in Peace Dougal. What beautiful memories you've left behind.
I agree too that if you feel this new little one will help, then go for it - What better way to honour Dougal's years with you than to offer another the chance to live a wonderful life as part of your family, as well as help you get through such a sad time.

Happy 12th Birthday Renae - What a gorgeous girl she is.
Beautiful pics Jules and Toby looks like he's loving life with you guys.

I picked up my boy Hoover from his breeder when he was 10 weeks old. After losing my Bull Mastiff a few months earlier and coming home to an empty house every day I needed a puppy in my life again. From the day I brought him home he wasn't your average puppy. I thought I would be enjoying a wriggly licky snuggly puppy but not my boy. Whenever I picked him up he would struggle and squirm and if I laid down on the floor with him he would ignore me and go off and amuse himself. The only time he showed any affection was when he seen my Dad or Brother in Law. He'd go absolutely bonkers for them (and still does). He starts the night off on my bed which he has done from the time he was toilet trained and I will never forget the night when he came up from the end of the bed, all on his own, and was standing there just staring at me. I laid there and just looked at him and said " give me a kiss " and he licked my face - he was nearly two years old - he had never once licked any part of me before. He'll never win the 'most affectionate' dog but since that night he's happy to sit/lay on my lap for belly rubs and scratches and now he follows me around whenever I move from one place to another. He still doesn't lick randomly though, only when he feels like it, but I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world - He's very special and I hope he's still got years and years with me.
Rest In Peace My Little Miss Muppet
