  1. How cute are those pics!!! Absolutely gorgeous.
  2. there are quite a few sheep, there, but believe it or not there where sheep where we where, obviously we had the two of them on leads, but once by the river they where off lead, Maddie and Mason where not bothered by the sheep, plus if they did watch them, I called them to me, and they where fine.. plenty of places to walk off lead there.

  13. What an awful thing to happen to her and her dogs... :GroupHug: for them all
  14. I was on another forum I go to and a lady has asked us to make sure every one is aware, so here you go please read.. I got this mail and thought that I would post it on here just in case anybody doesnt know about it Warning to all dog owners--pass this on to everyone you can. Last Friday evening, I arrived home from work, fed Chloe, our 24 lb. dachshund, just as I normally do. Ten minutes later I walked into the den just in time to see her head inside the pocket of a friend's purse. She had a guilty look on her face so I looked closer and saw a small package of sugar-free gum. It contained xylitol. I remembered recently reading that sugar-free gum can be deadly for dogs, so I jumped on line and looked to see if Xylitol was the ingredient. I found the first website below and it was the one. Next, I called our vet. She said to bring her in immediately. Unfortunately, it was still rush hour and it took me almost a half hour to get there. Meanwhile, since this was her first case, our vet found another website to determine the treatment. She took Chloe and said they would induce her to vomit, give her a charcoal drink to absorb the toxin (even though they don't think it works) then they would start an iv with dextrose. The Xylitol causes dogs to secrete insulin so their blood sugar drops very quickly. The second thing that happens is liver failure. If that occurs, even with aggressive treatment, it can be difficult to save them. She said she would call us. Almost two hours later, the vet called and said the contents of her stomach contained 2 to 3 gum wrappers and her blood sugar had dropped from 90 to 59 in 30 minutes. She wanted us to take Chloe to another hospital having a critical care unit operating around the clock. We picked her up and took her there. They had us call the ASPCA poison control for a case number and, for a donation, their doctors would direct Chloe's doctor on treatment. They would continue the iv, monitor her blood every other hour, then in two days test her liver function. She ended up with a central line in her jugular vein since the one in her leg collapsed, just as our regular vet had feared. Chloe spent almost the entire weekend in the critical care hospital. After her blood sugar was stabilized, she came home yesterday. They ran all the tests again before they released her, and, so far, no sign of liver damage. Had I not seen her head in the purse, she probably would have died and we wouldn't had known why. Three vets told me this weekend they were amazed I even knew about it, since they are just learning about it too. Please, tell everyone you know about Xylitol and dogs. It may save another life.
  15. I know I was so shocked when I was told about it... I cant beleive there are seriously sick ba*****s out there, that think this if fun!!

    New Craze

    My other half was on a forum, and he was talking with some young bloke... Don't know how it came about, but this bloke had said about this new craze, now he knew about it, but did not admit he had done it, he seemed to know a lot about it... Be warned do not read if you get upset, I cant beleive I am typing about it, but I think everyone should be aware of it.. Its called dog fishig, apparently they put meat on a bigish hook dangle it over the fence, or wherever the dog is once the dog has hold of the meat, they run as fast as they can, and the hook gets lodged into the mouth of the dog!! My husband really went to town on this guy, I think its just so bad, what kinda of person, if you can call him that would do it? :angry: I don't know where this is happening, but please look out for your babes...
