Your time together was short, but very sweet. Remember all the good times....

Wonderful story an I am so sorry your girl had to leave you. Run Free, Bella.

Ruby always seems to have her little chin going....excited or nervous or just plain happy. The boys don't do it at all.

Oh Dear...poor Charlie. All fingers, toes, paws and hooves will remained crossed until he's through this little setback. Nancy

We have been told that our Ruby was the loudest barker at the kennel....barked non-stop when people were around. We adopted her last August and she has never barked in the entire 9 months she's lived with us. Other than the occasional whine, she never makes a sound. She does quietly chatter her teeth if she nervous or excited.

The odds are that it is nothing really serious, given his young age. However, I do agree that if this has been going on for more than a few days and is not responding to meds, he should be seen by a Vet.

We'll be thinking of Charlie on Saturday! Our PointerX had a small fatty lump on her side for years. Never bothered her at all.

Another welcome from Ontario!

Welcome from Ontario!

Welcome and thanks for the pictures. We lost our aged GSD last summer. She had the exact same black and tan colouring as your Shaba. They are wonderful dogs. There are also 'lurchers' here in North America. An aquaintance has a Greyhound/Lab mixture, another has a Greyhound/Spaniel type.

Still and Nancy

Thanks for this tip. Nigel is a gulper and I can see there could be a problem with the size and shape of chicken necks.

Charlie!!!!! All fingers, toes, paws and hooves are crossed.

Stick in a bar of soap.

Happy Birthday Riddick. He sure packed a lot of living into his short life....

Sorry to hear of Misha's passing. I have a lovely 8 year old barn kitty named 'Misha'. It's not a very common name.

I am going to stick with the ground frozen stuff. We fed it to a couple of 'special needs' dogs several years ago with wonderful results, but somehow drifted back onto kibble once they were gone. It is made locally ... I drive past there at least twice a day. It is also very convenient.... The individual portions are to my 'specs', so I don't have to do anything but remember to take it out of the freezer so it will thaw. None of my cerw have sensitive tummys, so this combo of chicken, beef (meat, bone & organs), fish and eggs is fine for them. I just don't have enough room or time to prepare food for three hounds twice a day. I live and work in a small village and do not have the time or energy to go to the city shopping here and there for my dogs meals. They already have lots of marrow bones/knuckles they chew on, but as I mentioned, I will be getting some chicken necks, backs, etc for them as well.

The dogs have been on their new raw diet since Tuesday, and of course they love it. I am quite impressed with their poo....not only the quality, but the 'lack' of it! The food I have purchased is frozen from a local supplier and we'll need to play around with the amounts they are getting over the next month. Nixon & Ruby are at their ideal weights, but I'd like to Nigel put on 3 or 4 pounds. I've based the amount of food they're currently getting on 2% of their weight...3% for Nigel. I'm planning on getting some chicken backs/necks so they'll have something to chew on. Anything else???

So very sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl.

I'm in Ontario and get my CS from a person up here, so I don't have any advice on what is available on Amazon. I have it in liquid form, which just sprays on....right now Ruby has a huge wound on her ear and she doesn't want us to touch it, so the spray is good for that I also have plain CS gel as well as a CG/Aloe mixture gel.

How is he this morning? If he's still uncomfortable, I'd take him to the vet.
