    Can’t catch a break

    Oh Ashley, I hope you managed to get in somewhere and she's getting her surgery asap. Hang in there.

    Chewed up an asthma inhaler

    Oh my gosh, I checked on Quinn's thread and didn't think to look for another sick dog! An asthma inhaler, flaming Nora, it would be funny if it hadn't made him so ill. I'm very glad to hear that all the vital signs came down over the course of the evening. I hope he's fit to return home today.

    Ticks!!

    I hope the $180 included the Bravecto! That stuff is expensive :/ Those ticks are no joke, and they go for humans too.

    Ticks!!

    Shit, that's scary. I've just had a google, yikes. Super common along the east coast, increased population in recent years, like long grass. Probably worth getting back on the preventative treatments over the danger months.

    Sore spot on pad

    What are the ratios of salt:water for a boiled salt water wash?

    Oh Ashley I'm sorry, poor Quinn and poor you, it sounds as though she's feeling really rotten. I'm glad that she's at the vet's and hopefully you get some answers in the morning.

    Bald spot

    A lady that I'm acquaintances with from dog training went into full panic mode when she discovered her male dog's nipples. ONLY FEMALES HAVE NIPPLES WTF IS WRONG WITH MY DOG. She also rushed her dog to the vet the first time he had his penis out. She thought he'd been disemboweled. She's a...

    Introduction to new Puppy

    You could buy a baby gate with an extension, you can extend them across open plan entryways. The only downside to baby gates is that they have to be drilled into the wall to be really secure.

    Puppy at 7 weeks

    We got Xena at 7 weeks which was also for the breeder's convenience (it was Queen's Birthday weekend and they were off to Auckland to go to a Labrador Club pow-wow or something). If you don't have much of a choice then I'd take her. Yeah, it's an extra week of biting and weeing etc but it's...

    Shocking

    I was down at the dog park on Sunday morning when a lady arrived with 7 dogs (shared between her and a friend). I assumed dog walker, but not on a Sunday? Anyway, I asked and yes, she's a dog walker but the 7 were all her own dogs. I asked for her details because I liked the way she was...

    It's so tricky, isn't it? We all have days where we feel blerg and have no appetite, but when they can't communicate it makes it so hard. Hopefully it's just a blerg thing and nothing else.

    Updates on Mas.

    This is sounding really promising, I hope that he continues to improve throughout the day. You're going to sleep for a week once he's better. Keep taking care of yourself ok?

    Yes, I hope that Quinn's feeling a little better? No more trips to the vet?

    The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

    Oh Emily, what the what? Is it because of your medical history? I'm thinking about the immigration cases that make the news in NZ and it's usually when a family member has medical issues so there's this whole "potential drain on the health system" concern. There've been families who've set up...

    Hopefully it's "just" a pulled muscle. I hope you see some improvement.

    Updates on Mas.

    Brilliant poops! Hopefully your OH can see that he's able to take a break because the last thing you need now is him falling ill.

    My Labrador Friends Book Club - Fiction Choice

    I found it an emotionally difficult read. Hockey + toxic masculinity tells you all you need to know about the content. It was so hard to believe that it was written by the same author as Ove - totally different voice and style. There's a sequel but I needed to put some space between them so...

    Brilliant news! I hope he has a settled night and that you and OH manage to rest too.

    Updates on Mas.

    I'm hitting the hay early tonight and hoping that I'll wake up tomorrow to a nice virtual Mas poo. No harm in asking if you can take him out for a stroll around the building. They can only say no.
