    Sammy after a bad hair cut.
    On vacation in Nova Scotia he took off at full speed and jumped off the pier.
    I thought “oh damn I’m swimming in the Atlantic is November”
    Lucky when I got the the end of the pier the tide was out at the Bay of Fundy

    Following the passing of our pal 'Chunky' I found myself quite nostalgic and ended up going through all the images of my old pal and this one brought back many happy memories. Holidays in the 'Lake District' walking many miles and enjoying the occasional boat trip plus ice creams etc. may he be with us for as long as possible.

    I’ve been away from the site for a few weeks and so much bad news on this thread. RIP Chunky your exploits will be missed.

    Now, the reason I have been absent is partly work (so much for semi-retirement) but also because we were fostering this lovely 7 month old retriever for the rescue charity where we got Louis.

    Meet Gracie

    We only had her for a couple of days before she had to be speyed so we couldn’t really introduce her to Louis and neither of them liked being apart with only a screen door for communication.

    Unfortunately the fostering failed because we have now adopted her and finally being able to let them play together we have discovered that they get along like a house on fire.

    Today has, in no uncertain terms, been an utter load of old balls.
    So was cheered somewhat by receiving this just now...taken after I left this morning.

    Remind me, which religion is it I need to ' get ' to do the reincarnation thing?

    As I sit here browsing through what may be my favorite thread the budgie in the cage next to the desk is furiously, and noisily, wanking away..... I don't think I'll post pictures, too disturbing.

    I guess its better than a great dane humping your leg, but still.

    So a quick update on Raven and her cancer treatments. There have been some ups and downs, and after the last treatment that was given at home (just tablets) when she had blood work done the next week prior to her next intravenous treatment, her white cell count had collapsed. They could not carry on with the treatment, and she was immediately put on anti-biotics as a preventative measure, because she would not be able to fight off any sort of infection. We had to try to keep her away from anything that might cause any sort of infection - not easy with dogs who have their noses in the dirt and grass every time they go outside.

    We had the levels tested 2 times, and on Monday they had come back up and we were able to get her in for the treatment that she missed last week. Her weight had come up almost a kg, but yesterday she basically wouldn't eat anything I was offering. In the end the only thing I could get her to eat was some buttered toast - a desperation meal to get something in he stomach so she could take some medications. but it worked! Today is better though and she is feeling pretty good.

    She's back in for another treatment next Monday...

    Cheers, Al

    I feel for you Al. The chemo treatments are just a constant balancing act between fighting the cancer and damage to the internal organs. I hope that you will have some additional quality time with her.

    For food, we have had some success mixing boiled hamburger meat (boiling separates the fat, which is easier on the stomach) with rice. I boil up a couple of pounds of meat and make a big batch of rice, and it lasts for a few days (keeping the extra in the refrigerator obviously). One of my dogs lived on her "sick food" for her last 6 months, and she kept eating well until the end.
