What a wonderful, uplifting post!! Thank you for updating us Sonia. I am thrilled to read about Flicka's progress - you have worked wonders with her! Just shows what can be inside every 'difficult' dog... Well done you xxx Now we just need a few more photos... ;)

Hoping that Ella's limp clears up quickly, ditto the dandruff. Sometimes Poppy gets very dry skin and fur; I give her fish oil and buy her expensive B vitamin supplements that seem to help quite quickly.

Thank you all. I think part of it is that my old dogs were so long-lived; Bones was 14 when he died and Billy nearly 16, but I am really happy that we still have Poppy and that she is a happy girl, even though many of her activities are curtailed.

Well done Miss Nelly, you little Super Star! :star:

Today was a good day, thank you! We did a little walk this morning, just around 15 minutes or so, and she was very chirpy and trotted along happily. OH took Merlin out for a couple of hours this afternoon and I took Poppy to her aqua treadmill appointment. We walked there (about 10 minutes...

I hope you have fun! I LOVE Portugal!

One thing that can be guaranteed to get her going is to suggest that we get the dummies out... That will never change! Of course no retrieving, but we carry a few dummies into the woods (only a five minute walk), and I hide them in the leaf mold and she searches for them, it really means she has...

Yes it may be time to talk to the vet about additional pain relief for her.

Poppy is not doing so great at the moment. She is definitely deteriorating; in addition to her bad front left elbow she now also seems rather lame on her right front leg (physio says as a result of trying to ease the left leg), and her back legs are losing strength and mobility. She still goes...

I think this is the hardest thing - we love our dogs so much, and the responsibility and ultimately the decision to let them go resides with us. It is such a hard choice. I feel deeply for you, and I know you will keep second-guessing yourself for weeks, but you did the right thing.

So very good to hear such a positive update xxx

Oh, that is great news!!! PUPPIES!!!!! I also hope it's Odin...

Dear Kate, I am so glad to hear that little Nelly is coming along so well. You really have all been through a rollercoaster of a time - hopefully now the healing can really get underway. Much love to you xxx

Dear Naya, I am so very sorry. It's the hardest thing to do, but you know it was right and that Harley's time had come. She was a very much loved dog and a true star of our forum - I always felt connected to her because, you know, red labradors... Big, big hugs to you xxx

Ah, this is not an easy time. You will know when she has had enough. Lots of love to you all. xxx

I am so sorry you are having to bear all this Kate, but hopefully Nelly is slowly turning a corner bless her little heart. xxx

Ah little Nelly, you are such a trouper...

Oh my!!!!

Phew!!!!

I think he looks very svelte after his shower!!!
