murtle Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 ouch to your bottom, to Tikka and Dex, don't want a FLGS prefer HLGS please Postive thoughts for all the very poorly Moms, Dad's and friends. Cocoa is still scabby and getting worse, I have put a silver healing elastoplast dressing on him - any ideas on how to keep it there would be greatly received. He wears a buster collar at the moment, but it's in a position that he can still attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Morning. Don't know who Cocoa is but hope he's ok very soon. Marge really sorry to hear your friend isn't doing so well. Hope she picks up again and get's through Sam don't use the electrics until fixed. I know that's easier said than done where you are but when it decides to go you won't get another warning and that will be that. Pleased Pierce is getting better. Hope you get your dressing changed Lizzie and you're less sore very soon I'm waiting to get in the shower as I need to bank some cheques for Oldies. Martyn is in there at the mo.

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 sorry should have explained the wiring is in a shower room at our new clinic that we are not using ( because its dangerous ) we are getting the dogstar house/clinic sorted but as its our ( the 3 trustees ) money and not Dogstars ( charity ) we have a restricted budget so we are getting the required work done in stages. So far this week I have had 2 sparks working on the rest of the house so thats now safe , I am currently still staying with my adopted family at MEF where they have a shower that does not have bare wires poking out of the wall and a light fitting in the line of the shower head so I can be clean and safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Good. Was just about to suggest you went back up to MEF for your showers etc rather than risk zapping yourself. A fried squirrel wouldn't be much good out there with so much going on we did toy with the idea that shonky wiring and plumbing was a heath robinson method of making a heated shower ( house is cold water only ) but decided against it , actually we are going to use a number of solar showers like the one you donated last year to supply heated water when needed which is an amazingly cost effective solution and very eco friendly to boot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Phew, tis 'ot here I took the dogs for a walk and then had a shower and went to Sainsburys.

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I think Amazon is the best place to get them and I can do it via easyfundraising and earn extra pennies for Dogstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Now having a nosy on Amazon to see wot you're talking about like You don't mean a Gelert camping shower thing do you? Edited July 10, 2010 by Jacobean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Posted July 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Now having a nosy on Amazon to see wot you're talking about like You don't mean a Gelert camping shower thing do you? yep thats the one. Fill it with water, hang it out in the sunshine and at the end of the day nice warm water to shower in. I got one for sam to try out when I went over there and thought it was worth a go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murtle Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 If it's what I am thinking of I have friends that use those in the hot UK summers when camping, they find them really useful as they are easy to carry and keep them fresh smelling when camping in fields!

khanu Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Those showers are great, I've used a similar idea before, expect ours was a bucket with holes in - you covered up the holes to heat the water, and then had a very fast shower once warmish. Been running this morning with the 2 sheps. Found a new path that looks as though it will have a stream when we get some rain. Have taken the 2 spangles swimming. Talyn swam exceedingly well, and his life jacket was removed very quickly as it was deemed unnecessary. He was really stretching out his back legs behind him and had lots of fun. Breckin still needed his life jacket as he hasn't quite got body position nailed yet, but he did have some time out of it and has really started to swim quite well, with less splashing. Neither of them appear to be very tired though, which they really should. Am watching Talyn closely as he may get a bit sore as he doesn't normally use his back legs properly all the time still. Will do some TTouch later probably. Will wait till it cools down to take Syd out, although I might wander over to the summer fete at Petworth park with him this afternoon. I'm feeling quite tired though, think I've caught a bit of a cold as I've been sneezing all over the place, and seem to have a blocked nose.

owl Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Owlmobile has to be in dock Weds and Thurs next week for sills being welded & new front springs, but nothing wrong apart from that. The sun is struggling through the cloud and rain and we are off to Brechfa forest. Last night it was quite chilly but I slept well and woke feeling very warm and snug ... because someone had sneaked under the duvet and was lying against my back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
