Srsly, I'm glad Gracie is doing much better! :thumbup:

it hard to top, I know! :shifty: It's amazing how happy a "regular" dog can be

Thank goodness for sweet pea !!!!!! I was reading that post with growing horror. you won't do that again, I'll bet!

You know it!!! I installed a leash that's fixed to the front seat, so she can roam around, but not out of the car.

the best part of all was not losing my Sweet Pea who really doesn't give a rat's ass about agility!

now sweet pea, you need to stop scaring mom...i get it, agility is boring and you'd rather chase a squirrel...hell who wouldn't! but remember the regular meals, treats (seriously roost beef? you don't know how good you have it!) and of course a warm place to sleep...or did you do it just to get cake?

Just wanted to say hi, thinking about you guys and your puppies...

I have a shelf with some of Trix's stuff on it, now i am waiting for her ashes to complete it.

Finding it hard to get rid of some things.

Don't force it. Who says you have to get rid of things according to a time table. You'll do it when the time is right for you.

But I'll warn you. If you don't do it fast enough you'll wind up with another one.

It's ok....everything will be okay. They do have shadow boxes you can buy and put pictures and her collar in and have it on the wall.

like Unlost said, I hope you have someone with you when you get the cremains, it's a really hard thing, and not easy to do by yourself (I've had to hand over many pets, and it's better if you have someone drive you)

Take your time....and take care of yourself as well...

I know this probably sounds really silly. But last night I was finalising all the arrangements for Molly when we're away and I got really upset. I know our holiday will be great but I really wish she was coming and if she can't come I don't think I want to go. I know it's stupid, and she's going to be stopping with a lovely friend with a great dog to play with and she will be fine and happy but I really don't want to leave her behind.

:(

Claire, she will be fine, and if it makes you feel better, I will tell you a funny story: We have not gone on vacation without the dogs for 6 years. Some friends came to visit a few years ago (we only had one dog then) and we couldn't take Waldo. I was SO sad! We were going on the boat for a few days and I knew he'd 'be mad' because when we came home we'd 'smell like the ocean/beach' (We can't say the word 'beach' with out him freaking out). Well we left him with some friends, who proceeded to tell us that Waldo refused to sleep on the floor, and insisted on their bed, he also kicked the wife out of the bed, she had to sleep on the couch. When we went to pick him up, he didn't even care that we were there to get him. :shock: Then when we put him in the car to leave, our friends' dog then jumped in the car to come home with us!
I would love to take my dogs everywhere with me...but not everybody is a dog lover.... :(

Gracie has had a tough life. She's had cancer; she's had digestive issues and she's had vomitting issues. It would break my heart to see her explosive poops....they would get stuck in her "bloomers" and sometimes she would even poop on her foot. It embarrassed her and was very sad . That's why I'm so happy about this....the "stonehenge poop" that has come from her new diet:

that baby is standing straight up! the proof is in the (lack of) pudding (poop) . Sorry, but this is is great development!

Around here, we call those "Poohenge"! We've been feeding Charley and Remy a fish & potatoe food for years, so their poops are generally regular, compact, and well-formed...so if something is amiss, we're sure to notice right away! It's expensive food, but it's not all filler and it keeps their hair super shiny and their noses cold and wet!

So glad to hear that this high density food works just as well for other dogs! Yay, Gracie! Optimum pooper! Paws up from Charley Bo Barley and Remy the Wrecker (she wrecks stuff).....

I'ma hafto get something, sammi is clearly constipated again.
Got a few dirty looks from the township landscapers, as Sammi did all the right postures and movements ( ) like she was pooping but left me nothing to pick up... So when I just kept on walking I'm sure it looked suspicious...

My girl Ziggy got a bit tired watched the football Grand Final last Sunday so she decided to climb up and have a sleep on my mate, Pete. She's so snuggly.

That's awesome!

Ever since I went into hospital last week, my son and Rufus (mini poodle) have not left my side.....even at bedtime. So I get left with just the edge of the queensize bed whilst the other 2 hog it all.

awwwww...ziggy looks soooo happy!
