Scottsmum

Love mine. I had two - gave one away after Scottie departed and kept the other one for me Worth every penny!

I) It's safe to be on long term so long as its real T, not the supplement stuff. But you must tell a vet as it can interact with other medications and you would absolutely have to tell them if you were going in for emergency surgery. You'd also have to stop prior to routine surgery just to be safe. II) Scottie and I used it for ... 6 ish months. I stopped because I read there was a possibility it wasn't compatible with his anxiety meds and when I no longer had the drive to make it for him I stopped making it for myself. I noticed a huge difference when I was on it - so can only assume he felt better on it too. As I mentioned in on the other thread - I have a bad back and knees - didn't think it was helping much but then missed a few weeks worth of doses and really noticed a difference in my self. III) Start small and work up to a larger dose - I think its about a tablespoon over the course of the day. You don't want to start high - it makes you poo like no ones business. I accidentally O/D Scott in the start and he did like 4 massive poos while we were walking around the block - poor boy. I think, from memory, it has a short half life (is that the right term here?) so it doesn't stay in your body long - so smaller doses more often is more beneficial. There's a very active facebook group - the Turmeric Users Group - if you're interested. In short, I highly rate it and say so long as it doesn't interfere with other meds give it a try. As a side note, it is messy (I preferred making it with coconut oil to give it some structure), tastes nasty as hell and you can overdose on it - an acquaintance of mine reported getting dizzy and faint headed after discovering Turmeric chai lattes and adding a lot of them to her diet on top of golden paste.

@persephone - I'm sure you live in Paradise. Looks like Tits does too @mingaling And yes - that pink is stunning @Roova

So sorry to read this.

Sounds normal enough, as others have said. Its hard to say without seeing. Id also add -just double check he hasn't got any sneaky knots causing discomfort.

A lot of this has been covered.... but I)Entirely possible - as others have said II) I bet he does know how. Or would soon figure it out. III) We all have to do things we don't like at times. For his own sake he should ALWAYS be secured while you're not able to supervise him. You owe it to him as his caregiver to provide him with a safe and secure yard and home. I don't blame your neighbour for being annoyed. I'd have had him impounded weeks, months ago.

14 I rocked up at an "indoors garage sale" LOL.... to find this: 2018-04-08_05-39-33 by Superspanger, on Flickr There was a little hand written note stuck to the door kindly asking us to remove our shoes. It just made me smile.

I was only thinking about you earlier -it's going to be bloody tough on the kids.

Great photos!

There are tuataras. Cool fact: not a lizard or a snake. https://blogs.adelaide.edu.au/environment/2017/05/12/guest-post-150-years-not-a-lizard/ https://goo.gl/images/rVSEv4

Big hugs. She's a dear old girl.

Mmm ... I follow Koda - it's how I came to know of Tapua. She's an impressive dog. Anyhow, hopethe family finds a solution that's right for them.

Yeh. He's only 5 and theres a 4 year d in the family as well as a bub same age as G. So he's used to wee ones. He is also about an arms length away. I was trying to respect his personal space.

13. House sitting for a friend. Bub meets "Phillip" the cat.

12 & 13 due from me. 12. Just 'cause mum leaves you somewhere for a nap, doesn't mean you have to sleep. You can wriggle over to your dog toy & play too.

Very cute Elissa! Looking forward to a weekly update!

Not a JRT - but I'd probably be starting with a call to Tapua https://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/member.asp?name=MIMBIL

There's a girl in SA breeding meat rabbits for her raw food business. I'm sure if you hunted around you'd find someone local doing similar.

@Bushriver - it's worth looking at "prey model raw" to get a grasp on feeding whole carcasses. No advice from me re: parasite control

Oh Westiemum

Love your crew PC. Adorable bubs there too

Very. ;) "Once a jolly swagman camped ny a billabong, under the shade of a coolabah tree...."
