I am sure you will miss her terribly Bob and Erica. Their lives are just too short but they give us everything and we have such fantastic memories.

Hugs to you both,

You will be sadly missed by all those who knew you.

There are 15 dogs at North Melbourne on the LDH website for rehoming at the moment. This is from the biggest shelter with almost all the council contracts. Only one dog is over 2 years of age. Where are all the others? ChuckandSteve, people have been asking questions, offering to provide places in rescue to the dogs and wondering where all the donations go for a very long time. It just annoys me that someone collecting more money for them would provide such inaccurate information.

I did actually have words with the girl and told her what I actually thought of the LDH but she kept coming back at me. I said just google them and see what people are saying. And also check their website out as to how many dogs are currently up for adoption. It took all of my being not to shake her especially when she ended the conversation with "have a nice day". grrrrrrrrrr

I bumped into a girl that collects for the Lost Dogs Home who said did I like animals. Well what am I to say but of course! She said that she was collecting for ...The Lost Dogs Home... I spied the sign before she got to speak. Anyway I sort of said do you know how many dogs and cats get put down there? I said it was over 80%.

Anyway apparently that is all now changed she said that they save 25,000 each year and none are euthanised.

What a fantastic turnaround!!!

That really is sad. Hope he is going to be okay!

Charley has had all the injections now and she is doing really well. So I am very happy as is she at the moment.

I enquired about stem cell therapy but due to where the problem is it would all be a bit of a hit and miss solution.

She is currently on injections once a week for 4 weeks and then will be having them once every 3 months.

So far so good, they seem to be working.

Not a return but this was actually worse.

Woman has a dog, she gets another dog from breeder, has the first dog put down coz he apparently is not getting on with the new dog. Her partner comes home and asks where dog one is. She shows him the spot where she buried him.

Now I knew/know this woman and will not talk to her.

Breaks my heart coz I would have happily taken her first dog into foster care. A rare breed too.

Lovely!

Run free at the bridge Ryan and wait quietly with Sinna for your family to join you.

My girl Charley has just xrayed and the radiographs show an area of spondylosis in the lumbarsarcal region of her spine.

Medication long term appears to be the only thing we can do.

Just wondering what everyone else has done.

I have spoken to a vet that has performed stem cell therapy on a dog that has lumbosacral spondylosis.

It is done through a company called Medivet. Look them up. medivet.net.au

That looks very exciting. Thanks for the info.

I am trying to work out how old my toy poodle is? He is docked.

Got my answer on Facebook - 2004.

Glad it worked out for you and Harper.

Keep up the training. Poodles are bright dogs and need an outlet for their intelligence.

So how come I got the dumb one!!! ;)

I have 2 neutered boys and a spade girl. The girl is the tempermental one. Such a bitch.

I can't sew either.

Hope you are back training dogs really quickly Erny!

He is coming to me so no need to worry any longer.

The beddies and poodle are looking forward to another face around the place.

My lot are also in at night however they lie and tell me they have to pee. Tommy the poodle is very good goes out pees and comes back. The bedlingtons well a whole other story.

My bedlington terriers are going ballistic at the fence every night once it gets dark. Neighbour had said that she has seen a rat on the fence and suspects that that is what my beddies are after. They are ratters after all.

Is there anything I can do to deter said rat/rats from travelling along my fence?

I have messaged you through FB so if there is anything I can do please ring me.

A friend of mine always sends her Lab to Vern Ryan. Says she loves it there, but who knows. She is a very happy dog when I see her.

She has been boarded there quite a few times now.

Donation done! Hope it helps!

My GSD has skin problems and he reeks! Not very nice to have in the house. That combined with the shedding (seriously I get a whole dog's worth of hair off him every week, despite him missing hair from skin problems) is making me not very keen on getting another one.

Kavik, I had a GSD who had skin problems and she stunk. I put her on Lamb & Rice for about six weeks and she came good. She was fed Nutro Lamb & Rice the rest of her life and we never had any problems. You may have already tried this solution but if you havnt its worth a try.

I have tried pretty much everything diet related that I can think of As he is getting older his skin is getting worse Being pregnant at the moment I am noticing the smell even more! Ick! Unfortunately it makes me not want to spend much time with him.

Years ago I had GSD and he had terrible skin problems and it smelt awful. Was at the vets continually and they kept giving me stuff to bath him with. I eventually stopped bathing him and guess what. His skin problems cleared up. He never had a bath in the final 3 years of his life and only ever smelt when stressed.
