The dog thread is better than the cat thread, because it features dogs.

In one of her favourite places for a sniff.

Trying to get Willow to smile next to the Bluebells after kabbes photo with an unsmiling Ted. She didn't want to obliage.



Taking a quick break from running on the moors



Cooling down

As always, I was totally shattered when I got in after a long run. She ran to the back in expectation of more games.

My nephew is over with his dog. We took him out the past few days, and he loves it here.
We took him to Lough Key Forest Park.



It's a lovely place, with a huge lake.



And Jota still managed to find the not lake.



But he did find the lake before I let him back in my car

Always sick on long journeys, always within a few hundred yards of the destination.

Always looks suitably apologetic/mortified.

This is worth a try....
You know the clinell alcohol wipes? Used to clean the patients skin before an injection or having blood taken.....
They sometimes work on humans who get nausea post op and for motion sickness.
I'd attach it to the collar. Let the alcohol fumes waft up.

I'd be interested to know if it works.

Mungo is an excellent dog
That’s it

I know the ones. The only worry is she might do something daft like eat the wipe. I usually mitigate this pretty well by planning her journeys to be at least a few hours after she's had a meal but both dogs were at the dog sitters for a week recently and when I picked them up on the Friday they cheerfully informed me they'd given them their dinner early

"anyway I watched him pick it up and I knew it was his last poo-bag so as soon as he'd tied the knot in it... I DID ANOTHER SHIT LMAO!"

Had the welfare dogs at work today, so had a lovely release of oxytocin.

Sadly can’t take them home for the weekend but had some lovely cuddles

Sad to say that Ben de-Dog [probably 14 !] is now somewhat disabled, his back left paw is almost never on the ground.
Otherwise he's still Ben, very alert and enjoying his walks not to mention his friendship with t'cat.
However, he's been learning form our tripod cat how to get around, and the stuff from the vet helps.
Just wish the painkillers he needs would be palatable [he detects them even in treats] ...

Having elderly animals is always a balancing act of trying to assess whether they are in pain, whether they are happy etc.
He does sound like he's still happy. Hope you are able to keep him comfortable for a bit longer together with him

aye ... he's happy !
I've just been away for a few days. When I got back, Ben insisted on carrying a little bag into the house for me. Something he's always done - I thought it would be too heavy, but the bag was carried !

Poor Ben and you; I remember with my old boy, after he’d spat out a tramadol capsule a few times, thinking ‘oh I know, I’ll empty the capsule into his dinner, then he won’t notice it’ and then wondering why he wouldn’t eat his bitter sprinkled dinner. I think you have much more experience of companion animals than me so probly have a technique or two up your sleeve for getting pills into them, nevertheless sad and a bit of a challenge to see him getting older and less able, carrying duties notwithstanding

Dogs just like loving, special treatment. It's a sad human characteristic to be disingenuous about it...

My adorable and loyal dog passed away recently. I miss him a lot.

If there's one thing I have to thank covid for is that I got to work from home and spend almost everyday with my little shadow following me around the house all day for the last 4 years, and plenty of opportunity for lots of walks

 

[Elpenor]

He looks so lovely, I’m glad you have so many happy memories

 

[Saffy]

I'm so sorry mwgdrwg, what a beautiful boy he is.

 

[Sweet FA]

Really sorry to hear that mate, love to you; he was clearly an excellent boy xx

 

[Steel Icarus]

Sorry mwgdrwg - I still miss my Luna most days. But smile when I think of her

 

[Epona]
