I have also put her on the Pet Food Australia hemp oil food and between the three products she is looking better than she has for 6 mths.

I know this is only delaying the inevitable but it makes me happy to see her trying to be an Australian Red Kelpie again.

It's good to give a happy report though.

....So it lasted 9 days.....inevitabley Ellie wasnt good enough to make it through today successfully , she lost total control this afternoon and I took her to the vet at 3pm.

....then I buried her alongside another old mate.... saluted her with a Jack Daniels.....my daughter and son came over to help dig......but the grief didn't really hit me until I washed the shovels etc off and for the first time in just under 13yrs she wasn't there to bark at and attack the hose.......

......will I do it a 4th time? .......probably can't live without a canine friend.

my heart goes out to anyone going through or having gone through the same grief.....

Condolences Dennis.

Sorry to hear this, their passing certainly leaves a huge hole in your life. We didn't get pushed into having another dog although there was plenty of advice.

The dog would probably outlive us & that ain't fair on the dog.

Well almost 6 weeks ago and although we had decided not to look for another dog, we have now adopted Billy.
His elderly owners were going to hand him in to a shelter and my mates dad was looking after him so he called me and sent some pics and a video.
Not sure what breed he is but he is gentle and well trained and a demon with a ball.
Very energetic and loves to run, he also lived with a cat which was a plus.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f281e1d485.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...c0a8f7df0f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ce940993a3.jpg

Would suggest a Scottish Terrier X with Rough Coated Jack Russel leanings. Possibly.[bighmmm]


Edited. 16/11. Apparently Scottish Terrier is it's correct name.

Yeah I see the scottie, this is my mum's 8wk old Scotty.

Jackies can move like the wind & in all directions at once. [bigrolf]
