Our pets

Do you shave your legs?

 

No..
2 women in the house, no one shaved their legs, the girls wax.

 

It was supposed to be funny. A big strong biker like us, with soft smooth hairless legs. Just seemed something humorous to observe. I didn’t mean to be nosey about the grooming habits of the other householders.
Sorry - my attempt at a witty comment went wrong.

 

All good @Cyborgbot, was early morning and I thought you misread the post. I didn’t finish my shock install until late.
Takes a shower and a shave to wake up before riding to work. Funnily enough my Dad was a competitive cyclist so always had shaved legs.

 

I suspected you weren't offended, because...

 

@Tiglet, how is Fizzy doing??

 

Thanks for asking Sandi.

Each day since Monday has seen a small improvement so it looks like we’re heading in the right direction
Yesterday Tuesday and it was another visit to the vets for another examination and injection for nausea.

She’s now drinking and eating small amounts of her own accord so there’s less of a need to hand feed and hydrate which is great.

Sometimes if she lifts her head to look at me then she will stumble or topple over (I’ve been known to have this effect on bitches)

From experience with my dogs over the years once they’ve had one episode of Vestibular Syndrome then they are at risk of more attacks

Finger crossed that we’re now over the worst

 

Hi, Tiglet,
I'm really glad to read that Fizzy is doing a bit better each day. It's hard to see our beloved pets sick or injured. And it's made worse by knowing they don't know what's going on why they feel badly. I'm sure that somehow Fizzy knows that you and Mrs. Tiglet are doing your best to help her feel better. Is Vestibular Syndrome in dogs only? Is it like vertigo in people? It sounds like a terrible thing for a dog to suffer and I hope that Fizzy feels better and better each day, Tiglet. Thanks for the update.

 

Nosey neighbors

 

Dog pile. Me at the bottom... Of course. I know my place.


Tia is thriving... But, the sspca insist on having their rescue dogs spayed, and she now has incontinence problems. Got some herbal stuff coming for her which is supposed to be good, but for now just taking her out a lot.

 

New way to minimize shedding...

 

@Tiglet, just checking in to see how Fizzy is doing.

 

That is a trusting and patient pooch, Vulpes!

 

Funny I had that same thought this morning ......

 

The old girl is doing well Sandi, thanks for asking.

She’s now eating and drinking ok.

The only problem she has is if she is in the woodland at the back of my house or the fields beyond and she is navigating uneven ground she’s likely to stumble.

If I take a training dummy out with me and I hide it out of her sight and walk her away say 50+ yards she still loves to hunt for the dummy and retrieves it to me. Her hearing is starting to diminish so I just use hand signals if I want her to sit, go back, left or right.

Hopefully we’ll have another enjoyable year or two together.

 

Sounds like she's enjoying life, mate. Appreciate that, while it lasts.

 

That's good news, Tiglet. She sounds like a lovely and happy dog. As Vulpes said, appreciate her and her enjoyment of life while it lasts. Our beloved dogs have life spans which are far too short. I try my best to appreciate and enjoy my Annie every single day.

 

Pleasing to read that she is consuming food/fluids again and is playing again.

 

I think this one is up to something

 

Good looking Jacky you have @markw955i. Favourite of mine and used to breed them, great personalities and good watch dogs
