Don't think I have posted a pic of all the girls together.
This pic was taken the other day whilst out on a walk (they'd already raced in and out of the dew pond, so look a bit wet and muddy)
Anyway here they are
Dizzy, Taiya, Twiglett, Gem & Breeze
Also noticed that they make a good advert for wearing dog tags

One of our foster pups was thrown into a skip with his sister at 14 weeks old. Luckily they were found by a lovely lady who kept the girl and brought little Fluke into rescue. Others aren't so lucky.
Run free

You can add cider vinegar to their dinner if they aren't breaking up the bone properly, though the stomach will soon begin to work how it should and break it up.
Although a small amount of pork is probably ok, it is not reccommended to feed to dogs - can't find book to put down why, sorry - gives them an upset stomach.
Hope doglets are enjoying their fresh meat
.We use the food mixer to mince up our raw veg and then freeze it in an ice cube tray. When you want to add veg to their dinner, you can just pop out a square into their bowl - doesn't take too long to defrost especially if you give it a little bash.
Our dogs love their raw meat (though they will eat anything
) -
The wound has healed extremely well and the skin has almost totally closed together. Dizzy is also back to her normal noisy self, and lunatic of racing games in the fields.
The only thing left now, is for the hair to grow back (I expect its a bit drafty at the moment
).
Its almost completely healed now.
A bit closer
Thank you to all that sent healing thoughts, I'm sure thats why the wound has healed so fast and cleanly

Another Agility Eye subscriber here - I enjoy reading it every month.
There is also Agility Voice, though I haven't read it.

Thank you everyone, it still amazes me how wonderful you all are for support.
Here is Dismal, asleep on my bed. She is only 18" to the withers and she still manages to take up a majority of the bed.
Ah, bless her

Oh, my poor girl Dizzy (affectionately known as Dismal).
About 1 - 2 months ago, we found a large lump on Dizzy's side. Took her to the vets and were given antibiotics. Within 2 days, the lump went down.
Any way, 2 weeks ago, the lump started to grow again. Back to the vets and saw different person this time, and were told that she shouldn't have had antibiotocs because they don't get rid of abcesses and they come back. So were told to leave it alone and wait for it to present itself properly, so that it could be lanced and cleaned.
On Friday I thought that it looked about the right time. So Monday I call vets and they booked an appointment for today.
When we came downstairs, we found that it had burst - poor baby, she never made a sound. I am a bit p****ed off that my girl had to suffer all this time, when it should have been lanced in the first place.
Anyhow, glad she finally feels better. She still went to the vets today, and it was cleaned etc.
Here is a pic of poor Dizzy (don't look if you are a bit sensitive about these things).
Close up
Needless to say that she will be sleeping with me tonight

After his tests on Friday, which showed nothing wrong with his organs we now realise how quickly lymphatic cancer can take hold. He had some more scans yesterday which showed that his liver and spleen have enlarged quite a lot.
The oncolagist (sp?) phoned a couple of hours ago, and has a space tomorrow at 8am so that he can start his chemo. We have gone with a specialist as they can administer 4 drugs as part of the treatment, whereas the normal vets can only do 3 (the 4th is deadly to humans, so has to be given in a secure environment).
Some reiki would be brilliant if theres any going spare, we would really like him to eat a proper meal, but just for him to feel more comfortable would be great.
We will be leaving at 6.30am tomorrow, and supposably the treatment only takes about 10 minutes. Will report back afterwards.

Fantastic news, well done
.I think the surface may have gone back to carpet now. I know that Iain Fraser used to do carpet training running up to Crufts in previous years (Crazymaesy Agility) - though I could be going mad and didn't hear that at all
(the carpet at Crufts that is).When I was 14 I did the junior advanced test of obedience which was really scary, but a great day out (looking back on it) and got a free jumper - which I swapped with a gorgeous lad from a different region
.I'm sure you'll have a great time, and you'll have all of us to cheer you on.

Just read this. Glad he is feeling a bit better today. Lots of positive thoughts and hugs coming your way.
. He is so handsome -
Dizzy dog learnt the 2 on 2 off really easily, but Twiglett couldn't get the idea when a titbit wasn't there. Was really stuck about what to do - until I tried the clicker. Click and treat the correct position, and blooming henry she got it. Perfect contacts with me running past or to the side.
I would definately recommend it (I'd never used a clicker before for anything and was amazed that it worked so quickly).
Am also using them for her weaves (currently on channel weaves).

I have been training my mum's dog as she has just had her hip replaced (on Friday). Ran her at Portland and got a 10th. Then we went to Chippenham, were she was great, but due to me didn't get it right all the time - but we came away with a 10th and 5th (the 5th was after a run off, which we won and went clear again). Was soooooo pleased with her.
Dizzy dog has had a long break but brought her out for Portland where she came 12th. Ran her at Chippenham and got a clear - but I think her neck is playing up, so will be off to the chiroprator asap.
Well done to everyone else. 2007 will be a stunning year for Refuge's, roll on.

Hello Carol
Thank you for sharing your dogs with us, hope you enjoy it here.
I'm from Somerset too
-
Its called Cleverdogs and lots of fun. It includes jumps, dogwalk (small size) and 6 weaves. After completing the agility part, you go straight down the flyball lane.
-
Good Luck Just go for it, and try to enjoy yourself (your dog will)
-
Have a great time at Bincknoll. I went to Blackdown Show instead, today - took big gazebo and paddling pool, it was lovely.
-
Well done, keep up the good work and have fun.
Looks like we'll have a few new faces to meet up with next year at shows
-
I saw the beginners steeplechase on Saturday and I thought it was a bit much for the level. Beginners jumping on Sunday looked nice though (walked it with a friend who was in it).
I had a good weekend. With two dogs, I managed 3 1st's and 1 2nd, so really pleased, they worked really well - all the other classes were totally my fault when we went wrong, so was still pleased as they worked well in all classes.
-
Wish I'd been able to read this before I went. Worked all day, raced home, had shower, put last stuff in the car, got caravan and got the newbury eventually at 8.45pm Friday night.
If I'd known I would have meet up for a chat
-
Good Luck
. You'll have a great time, and don't forget to let us know how it goes. -
Well done Lucy and Megan
.I was there aswell, not long got home as we camped.
Dizzy did really, well 1st in Senior Steeplechase (std) and 1st in Senior Agility (std) on Saturday (only need some points in games to go into Champion - scary).
Also ran Mum's dog (she can't run because of her hip) Gem, and got, 2nd in Novice Jumping (std), and 1st in Senior Steeplechase (std) today.
It was a good weekend (especially the bbq and beer in the evenings
) -
Fantastic pictures
So glad you and Indy and enjoying yourself (and the others aswell). Indy has come on so much since you both started, well done
.So when do you plan to do your first show

Male Black Labs (apologies To Lab Owners)
in Animal Chat
Posted
My friend has a male black lab who is a total wuss, but most of our girls don't like him, and the same goes for other friends dogs - poor boy, but he also barks at them which doesn't help.
