My heart breaks for them, how sad.
You can't judge in less than one day, the poor things need time and patience to settle in a new environment.

I'm so very sorry

Has Kennel cough
Had to take her the vets yesterday as she'd been sick and raspy during the night, her temp was up and her glands swollen but she said it was a mild case (which doesn't console when she's raspy). Apparently there is a lot of it going round. A few years ago Ruby got it when there was a outbreak at Legh Dogs Home and as it's more or less open fields from there to here it travelled.
She's on antibiotics and the vet said to get childrens Benylin couch mixture which she loves. She's under house arrest poor thing and missed a long walk today with Ruby and Lindy (we went in the wilds and never saw a soul). She stayed home with her Dad watching F1 racing on the tele. She's a bit perkier today and has eaten her tea but bedtime seems to be the worst so we'll see how she goes tonight (if she's any better than Fri/Sat night)
She's sleeping peacefully at the moment so fingers crossed that she's 100% soon.

Happy 3rd Gotcha Day Sweetie
I cannot believe you have been with us 3 years, where has the time gone. You are beautiful, funny, adorable and sometimes a pain in the butt
but we wouldn't have you any other way. We love you so very much, even your Dad when you get him up for one of your regular wee wee's at 4 or 5 in the morning. He took you and Ruby up the town today (rare occasion) and couldn't get anything done for people wanting to stroke you both and commenting how gorgeous you both were. They never say that when he takes me up the town. I know we're all still a bit lost at the minute but you'll still have your beefcake and a couple of hours up the wood tomorrow morning. May we have many more gotcha days to come as we couldn't imagine being without you now. Who else could make us laugh so much with your comical expressions and your funny ways.
Your fave spot, besides the couch that is.
And our fave pic of you, I never tire of looking at it.

Keep strong, I gave up a year ago this month and if I can do it anyone can. Always in my head I'd cave if anything happened to one of my girls. But, I looked at Rosie over the last few weeks knowing what was to come and I promised her that I wouldn't use her passing as a excuse to smoke again. I told her I'd do it for her and I did.
This goodbye letter is good

1st Gotcha Day Lindy
Took you for a good walk up the wood today and now you're curled up asleep after your tea. I only picked you up to take you for a groom a year ago and you've been here ever since. I know you must miss your mum but I hope you're happy here and we love you to bits. You're actually a different girl to the timid quiet one who arrived here. Now you're a feisty confident madam who has obviously been learning from the other girls.
Love You Lots Lindy Lou

Thanks for the lovely messages
We've also had lots of cards and flowers and messages on Facebook which have consoled us. Rosie was loved by everyone she met being the softie she was. I have two framed pictures hanging on a wall in the living room (one Ruby, the other Rosie)
I'm sat here on Thursday night/early friday about 1.40 am and there was a big crash from downstairs. I thought the ironing board had fell over. When I got up the next day Ruby's pic was on the floor, I was stunned,
it's hung there for 4 years no problem.OH thought it was a sign but I asked why Ruby's photo, he said Rosie was hoping it would hit Ruby on the head to remind her that she wasn't far away.
Me and the girls had a big walk up the wood today, first time there without her and I kept looking behind for Rosie, (she was always the lagger) out of habit I suppose.

Very interesting thread and even though I'm very emotional at the moment I changed my vets 15 months ago and am so glad I did so even though my last vet had hospital status and I thought he was actually a good vet but no feelings whatsoever. He was also very arrogant and thought he knew best and never listened to what you had to say. In fact he treated you like a imbecile, I've heard this view since from several of his ex customers. No wonder they keep ringing me up offering discounts as I had four dogs.
He was very expensive and I had the impression that he'd do anything to earn him more money. The vet I changed to was a young vet just starting out who was a lot nearer. But he got to know Rosie so well and really bonded with her, he'd also never rush you and would ring and explain things that took him 1/2 hour or so. He has a good reputation and would listen to you, he'd never seen a case of Masticatory Muscle Myositis but took on board the information I'd got online, said it was better than his vet book and could he keep it.
I feel he and his staff really felt for Rosie and the difference in them coming to put her to sleep ie: taking their time and not rushing and also not asking for payment there and then, they were here over 30 minutes. Our last vet came out to put Cleo to sleep (and made a hash of that), came in did the deed and asked for payment and left, 5 minutes tops. I knew they cared for Rosie and that made so much difference no matter what the cost although they are cheaper than the hospital status vets.
Just my experience but I'd go for caring for your loved one every time (expense immaterial).

Yesterday morning Rosie had a bad bleed and also lost control of her bladder on the landing. She hadn't eaten her tea the night before and also struggled to take a drink. She'd been drinking loads to rinse the blood out of her mouth. I rang OH in tears and he came straight home, we decided to let her go, she's lost so much weight too.
OH rang our vet who came out at 1.15, when he arrived she got of the couch and went into the kitchen for a drink. We were gobsmacked, the water was full of blood and she was very wobbly on her back legs, so even though she'd bucked up for a minute we still decided it was time. She looked at me on the landing this morning (I was on the floor with her) and her eyes told me she was ready. She leaned her head on my shoulder like she always does and the blood was down the back of my dressing gown.
So she went peacefully on the couch with us and the girls nearby, we then had half an hour with her before putting her on her fave fleece blanket in the car and taking her to Leyland Pet Cemetery. They laid her out and we spent the last 10 minutes kissing her and telling her how much we love her and will miss her. We brought her home in her casket at 5.15.
We're heartbroken beyond belief, she was the youngest of our girls and thought she'd be with us a few more years yet. We love and miss you so much Our Little Babe (she answered to that) and you will always be in our hearts forever and ever.
Have fun at the Bridge Rosie, hope you're chasing Cleo and having fun sweetheart.
One of my fave pics of you, but I have so many.
Can't wait to get into your birthday cake

Sleep tight sweetheart, we love you more than words can say.

No I wasn't doing any updates at the time. It just came up when my head was spinning and I thought it was my antivirus progam so clicked "Run". As soon as I'd done it I realised what a idiot I'd been, it puts a very realistic copy of windows security in your taskbar that says you have no virus protection, and keeps telling you you have virus's and to download their software. If you look in Control Panel/Security Centre the real one comes up that told me I did have antivirus on.
Apparently a lot of people have gone ahead and bought this bogus program and can't get their money back. Thankfully I didn't go that far but it's been a pain in the backside. It does make you wary of downloading anything I must admit when they can clone things so easily and you think it's the real thing.

Sorry for not updating Michelle, been up to my eyes with this trojan virus thing.
Well on Thur the 1st we went up the wood and she was running across the fields like a young lamb. Then on Friday we went to visit friends in Southport who we hadn't seen for a while. Afterwards we went to Ainsdale beach and had a good 21/2 hours there, they all really enjoyed themselves.
We went straight to the vets for her check up from there, the vet said her mouth looked okay now it had been stitched (we've had no more bleeds). Her swelling is still bad and her eye, it gets crusty so I bathe it several times a day. She's eating well and hogging the couch even more
The vet says the results should be in by Tuesday (not sure I want to hear them) so just waiting on that now.
Thanks for keeping her in your thoughts
PS: Took some pics of both days so will have to post some soon. Sham really enjoyed the beach she went mad running in and out the water.

Fingers crossed I've got rid of it this past hour or so, it's drove me nuts.
Thanks for the links, really useful,
in the end I downloaded Malwarebytes in Safe Mode and did a quick scan. Found 5 infections, the 009 one was in my System Restore (no wonder that wouldn't work). It quarantined them, then I had to reboot to remove others, then I did a full scan in Normal Mode and it came up again and then removed it. Double checked and scanned again, nothing this time. Got this info from a cnet forum, some useful advice on there.When I thought I'd got rid of it before it would come back in a few minutes but I've been fine for a while now (hope I haven't spoken too soon)
Hope it doesn't come back when I reboot tomorrow. I'm exhausted with what I've read and tried for the past week. Thank god for Safe Mode.

Gus the Springer Spaniel from the Oldies site yesterday. My friend and her family travelled all the way from Portsmouth to visit him in Yorkshire with her family and 2 Springers. They called here on the way back and we had no trouble at all with 6 dogs in the house. He was absolutely adorable and we couldn't understand how his owners could abandon him like that. I fell in love in 2 minutes,
he loved his walk on the heath with us all and once he'd mastered the step into the garden he was in and out. He didn't really bump into that much either and he really, really, really loves his treats.
He's going to be a happy chappie now, he'll be well loved and adored and I'm so happy for him after his recent unhappiness. Love to them all and here's to a wonderful life for Gus.
I know that's a treat so come on, give.
All going walkies and Gus is out in front (as usual Sham is at the back) haha
