Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Sam (Happylittlegreensquirrel) if you are about, can you still do a spay for £12. Thinking of an early Christmas present from me to me sort of thing. Not sure if you can still do them for such a small amount. So sorry I must have missed this and I have sent you a PM Thank you so much for your ongoing support We can indeed still do them for £12 , next year we are fitting gas anaesthesia onto our bus and importing some new drugs but even then we hope to be under £20 a dog Sam x Been a while since I looked in here!

Paul Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 Ello Mrs Squiggs! The last time we spoke on here I think you'd just finished a major station project in London, how things have changed since then. Same old here really, apart from the dogs of course. Said goodbye to Bob two years ago this week and Meggie Moo left us four months later so now we have Demi Trailhound and Jim (special needs) Collie plus our most recent addition Lilly the Segugio (who is snoring in a chair behind me).

Sophie Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Walter looks so much like Zooey - if they're alike in more than just looks, you've got yourself an awesome cat Jayne. Jessie is gorgeous too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Posted December 1, 2014 Report Share Posted December 1, 2014 Sounds like we've been lucky compared to some Losing Bob was awful, went from his normal grumpy old sod self on a Thursday to being admitted to the vet on Sunday and us having to make the decision to PTS at Monday lunchtime. There were various symptoms and a downhill spiral that we chose not to investigate after his death but some time later we got reports of Alabama rot along the coast. The symptoms were very much like Bobs starting with the lesions on his face and legs, of course it was too late by then to confirm it as cause. Absolutely the worst day of my life, we said goodbye holding him tight, me in the pen with him at the vet as they injected him through one of the lines he had in. Can't think of a worst way or place to have had to do it but he was too weak to move. The vivid memories of that day still haunt me now. Meg finally sucumbed a few months later, she had a strange 'turn' the previous summer that we thought may have been a TIA but recovered from this. Some tests showed a shadow in one of her lungs but also that her murmour had become a lot worse. In the end it was so severe you could see it as well as feel it. You always know when the time is right and so we did, this time it was at home on the bed which was her favourite spot with all of us around her. So after Bob left us we had to get a companion for Meg and that turned out to be a failed and abused working sheep dog called Jim from the Spot Collie rescue. He's afraid of sheep which is great for us with so many in the fields around us but it meant the scumbag who started training him kept him locked in a barn for months before giving him up. He was ever so scared when we first brought him home but slowly started to relax and accept us and now although still nervous of strangers is completely transformed although he is probably the worlds most rubbish Collie After Meg had gone he was on his own and we noticed an almost immediate regression in his behaviour so sooner than expected we had look for another house mate for him. Thanks to the lovely Eileen at Trailhound Welfare we went up to meet Demi who was in foster prior to going into DT London. Everyone got on, she was lovely so we brought her home after Eileen offered that we have her on 'appro' LOL Since then we've done a bit of fostering for a couple of foreign rescues who had issues with Hounds, first an Ariegeois and then a Bruno Jura who were both rehomed to the same lovely lady in Nottingham. My involvement with those dogs led me to discovering Italian hunting Hounds and a rescue on FB called SOS Segugi, cut a long story short last month we drove to Turin to rehome Lilly who was found in a barn probably having been dumped by a hunter. She's a Segugio Italiano, bit like a small bloodhound with huge ears (and not many teeth left) and a beautiful old lady although she does snore a bit. So all this Hound stuff meant that I got asked to help an Ariegeois who is in danger of being PTS in France because his owners have split up. She is having to move out from their lovely Gîte down near the Andorran border but she says she would rather he be PTS than have to go into a French pound because she knows a hunter will get him and it will be pretty grim after that. So, dug out some old bookmarks for rescue and rehoming sites and voila, here I am LOL Blimey, that was a bit of a waffle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
