  1. Help ! how do i change my avatar from the lush Nathan that you see on the left to the chunk of manliness that is Vin Diesel, i have booted Nathen oot, but when i try and update to Vin, Nathan just reappears, now much as i fancy the pants of Nathan, i'm a bit fickle and my lust-o-meter is swinging towards Vin this week, can anyone help me give Nathan the boot? :flowers:

     

    Oh, now look at that, all i've managed to do is make poor Nathan all bloated, not only am i stuck with him, he's gone all Elvis on me eeeeeeeekkkk

  2. Poor boy that looks really horrible, can i just mention tho' that a dog can become allergic to previously ok substances, so even tho' you haven't changed anything in his enviroment he can get a reaction quite suddenly, hope he's made s full recovery :flowers:

  3. cause as we all know no matter how old you are there is nothing like a cuddle from your mum to make you feel better :GroupHug: .

     

    Terri

    not if you were my mum i wouldn't :bootyshake: :biggrin: you still scare me a bit :ninja:

     

    I had a very yucky thing last year that i was in Hospital with, the skin and flesh on my left shin started to break up, it started as a wee sore bit and ended up as a humungus purple black thing spewing blood and pus, yummy, Terri might have a pic of it, do you Terr ?

  4. Here's a liitle known fact for all you Jaffa Cake lovers, it was first made and invented in Gorgie Rd in Edin, not far from where Terri and i grew up, the site now has a BT building on it, i feel i must apologise to the nation for a Scot inventing the odious Jaffa Cake, they should be called Poop Cake, they are mingin', there i said it, and i wont take it back, so there :closedeyes:

  5. They are not made up ! i should know.......i am one :huh: well my mummy always told me she found me on the door step (i'm not jokin' she really did tell me this when i was very small, bit sick my mum) changlings were fairies who had been put in place of stolen children, they looked the same, but were nasty, don't know what happened to the real children

  6. Oh poor Soph, it' horrible when this happens especially when you have a shy dog, i think you sort of did the right thing, i would have taken her back in but stayed on the sidelines away but in veiw of the other dogs and did a wee bit of simple obediance with her, this would get her thinking with her brain, rather than reacting with her fear, but not to full on that it would keep her fearfull (if that makes sense) it seems that although she would like to be friends she lacks the social skills to meet new dogs with any confidence, think of it as the diffrence between being at a party where you know everyone and they all like you and you like them, and going to a party where you don't know anyone, how would you feel if you were a bit shy ? not very comfy probebly, thats how Sophie feels, so you need to make all her encounters with new dogs good, don't try to force her into meeting new dogs, just take it at her pace, how close can she get to a strange dog before she reacts? watch her closely and look for things like liking her lips ,glancing away, tail carage (up or down) thats when to get her attention in a happy voice and treat her untill the strange dog is past, try and not let the other dog get to her, the point of the exercise is to create a new behaviour by changing her view of other dogs from "oh no here comes a dog, what should i do, oh worry worry worry, it's getting closer!!!, get away!" to " hey hey, here comes a dog, where are those treats?" it's really important that you don't let another dog mug her, she needs to trust that you will look out for her and take charge of any encounters untill she can do it for herself, hope this is of some help :flowers:

  7. not a hundred % sure but i would think that a vit E overdose would have to be over a long time, i would think that you wouldn't get an overdose in one go with vits as the body will just expell the excess, unlike some thing like Paracetamol that is stored in the liver

  8. Depending on where you park your car would it be possible to sit or stand a wee bit away from the open boot, and encourage her out ? it may be that you are inadvertanty rewarding her for being fearfull, was this walk in a new place for her? you might even try coaxing her out of the boot give her a really superdooper treat and then put her right back in again, baby steps are the thing with fear

  9. It does sound as if she is food sensitive, give this a try you never know, it might work,

    two meals of an easily digested protein source, such as a lamb and rice complete food morning and evening, please look at the ingredients, of the top of my head i would suggest JWB or Burns as i know they don't have corn in them, or you could just give her the chick and rice

    to each of these meals add vit B6 1mg per kg of dogs weight

    approx 3hrs after each of these meals feed a saucer full of pure carbs, potatoe,rice or pasta, about 2oz, if she is med size a bit more or less depending on her size,your supposed to keep this up for three mnths but you might see improvement in a week, good luck hope this is of some help
