  1. Do your dogs value Licks or Kisses ?

    We give them to our hounds but to get one in return goes from begging or pleading for one to total exposure to the tongue and dog kisses.

    Digger will give a lick begrudgingly, :)

    Honey will give one once she is in the mood which seems to align with a Blue moon, :)

    Lucky however gives them all the time and it feels so comforting when mid walk and he comes back and you bend down and he gives a kiss, give him praise, thank you and a rub on the back and he trots off so happy with himself. :) :) :)

  2. Our two 10 year olds have no insurance, but one cost us upwards of 15 grand for two rear leg cruciate.

    So when we got Lucky-Dog ( 3.5 years ) he had insurance straight away. " She who must be obeyed " did the research and chose RSPCA, her final words are they are there for the animals and money goes to a good source. I don't argue with her !!! :) :) :laugh:

    Anyway they have come good on approx. 80 % of all claims. It has been money well spent. :)

  3. Our 10 year Cattle X Lab ruptured both rear cruciates approx. 4.5 years ago within a week of each leg. Think it was the right first and then the left.

    Anyway he has two titanium plates, one in each rear leg. We think his two legs have cost us a bathroom renovation for each. :)

    He recovered quite well, it slowed him down a lot but he has a quality life one that could not be guaranteed without the $$$ spent. Well worth it. :)

  4. Our hounds get pet mince from our butcher. They are a wholesaler so we buy in bulk and freeze portions to suit.

    For dinner it goes directly from fridge to bowl, heat the kettle and pour on boiling water. Add biscuits and soak for approx 15 - 20 minutes which averages out to one icy cold beer. :)

    Our 10 year old Ridgy inhales food and when served dinner without water, she vomits everything back up and eats. Apart from being messy, in is quite upsetting to watch every dinner time so the soaking of bikkies has cured her of this. :)

    In the morning they have either a chicken carcass each, or a small amount of bikkies with egg or sardines and there is never a problem with these meals. :)
