Aging is just awful. 🥲 I also wondered about poor circulation. I’ll ask the vet tomorrow. Although he thinks the signs point to a spider bite: large crater with necrosis. He said once it’s healed, and if it continues to be a worry, he’ll take a tissue biopsy. He said if we were in the E Cape, it...

You are so right. Thank you. And, posting them here made the issues seem not as big. And the kind responses I have received are comforting. Thank you. I really appreciate this. I have a friend who has often said, “I haven’t known a dog with so many health issues as Snowie” and it makes me feel...

Snowie has had a rough year. I haven’t wanted to write about it because it makes me sad. But I find myself here unable to sleep after listening to him gag several times tonight. It’s a recent thing and I’m hoping it’s just an inflamed larynx or trachea. But it could be laryngeal paralysis or a...

It sounds great although I don’t understand what grade 11 and low grade means? But by all accounts it sounds like good news! So pleased for you. xxx

My friend has an Apple tag on her dog’s collar. Although the only time she used it for tracking was when they flew and the dog had to go in the hold. My friend could track where her dog was and used her phone app to defend her position not to board till her dog was boarded! The crew were trying...

So sorry to read this. But happy it was manageable without meds. So distressing for you all. Except Merlin, who scored an extra biscuit!

That sounds like a much better plan. But whew, a LOT of driving. Do you have some good audiobooks? A few weeks ago we did a road trip, and for the first time we listened to an audiobook. It was only for a few hours. I was driving and the time flew by!

So sorry, it must feel all too much. Best of luck at the vets. Hopefully these new things are nothing. xxx

Oh man, he looks a darling in his onesie. 🥰 I hope you both have a good night. xxx

She is magnificent!

Exciting times!!! Travel safe xxx

@Jelinga I’d love to know more of Flicka’s backstory. Her breeder sounds so kind and lovely so I’m curious to know why she ended up so nervous?

Oh Kate, my heart is with you and your darling boy. Reuben is in the best possible hands. One step at a time is all you can do. Thinking of you xxx

Was just looking at your post above where you talk about a mix of show and working. There was a recent post on the SA Labrador Retriever fb page where the page owner says there’s no such thing as two different breeds. All labs should be able to work, otherwise they’re not well bred. It made me...

Very impressive!!!

That’s impressive! Just a few suitcases. Have a safe and wonderful trip visiting your dad. Looking forward to reading about your ongoing travels.

Maja is an odd character. Just catching up. Lying on Carbon and then biting his tail when she saw him? Strange dog! You’re a very good friend to look after her so Nadine can relax and enjoy her holiday. ❤️ Why are you packing up in Regensburg? Where’s the next port of call?

Always thinking of you both, too. xxx

I believe in variety. That way you can kind of ensure you’re getting a wide range of all the nutrients. Obviously needs some thought in balancing it. Snowie is raw fed for meals, and I make up the meals myself. I order whole chunks of meat, organs, fish, and bones and then create meals that are...

I’m so sorry, Kate. It is unfair. I’m hoping you’ve caught it early and that Reuben will have an excellent outcome. Sending all my love to you and your darling boy xxx
