    Protien And Carbs Fed Separately To Aid Calming

    37 views and no comments so obviously nothing useful to add to my post. Sufficient to say we have not seen much fruit to this type of feeding as Jacques wolfs his meat/veg down but won't touch the pasta/rice/potato two hours later. Sadie x

    Menopause Matters Takes The Biscuit!!

    LOL I agree! A few extra pounds decorate a girl's frame much better than handfuls of saggy skin!!! Here is my poem! Cessation of Primary Function I know you’re about when prickling pores pre-empt Inner shivers! At first hardly noticeable, (in fact...

    Does Anyone Use Vitamin B6 And If So, Which One?

    Er... to boost the nervous system to encourage calmness. Apparently the inclusion of this Vit tops up any shortfall in the diet. The diet regime suggested recommends the B Vit alone not mixed with other B components. See my other post on feeding protein and carbs separately for more info. Sadie x

    Does Anyone Use Vitamin B6 And If So, Which One?

    Following on from my other post, does anyone give their hound a B6 vitamin and if so, is it a general one (for humans) or specifically for dogs? Thanks! Sadie x

    Protien And Carbs Fed Separately To Aid Calming

    We are enjoying the fruits of our labours with Jacques at last. Since having the dog behaviourist in, we are now concentrating on getting his attention (and keeping it) in the home, with rewards for obedience. We have stopped taking him out for walks/runs, instead giving him one to one exercise...

    A Few From This Mornings Walk

    Oohh seven months!! She was one you kept back then? Once Jacques has regained his zest for life and learned that life is for living not hiding behind I am going to get a little friend for him! One whippet on it's own looks odd doesn't it????? Good luck with your girls! They are a credit to you...

    A Few From This Mornings Walk

    Wonderful photo's that depict the grace and charm of the whippet plus the zest for life in Gladys! How old is the whippet girl? I didn't realise the beach on the East coast was so good! Pity you don't do B & B Annsa or we'd all be down1! Thanks for sharing. Sadie x

    Rachel's Visit A Success! Now We Know How To Address Jacques`

    Because we are following a regime of no outside walking for a week, we have started a twice daily routine of "training" with Jacques that involves getting and keeping his attention, as well as getting him to do small tasks. Today we used a small amount of chopped chicken to reward him for 1)...

    Rawhide

    I've not given our dogs much in the way of chewy things but they did enjoy fresh marrow bones and the chew bones that Aldi and Wilkinson's do. I didn't know you could get such a thing as Rawhide. :> Our dog behaviourist reminded us that chewing/licking is a natural way to distress and all dogs...

    Ear/eye Pawing And Head Shaking - What Could This Be???

    No rubbing for 48 hours and his eyes are clear and bright. No runny nose or temp. Whatever it was seems to have passed, although we are keeping a tight check on him. Any sign of things returning, Jacques will be at the surgery for a check up immediately. Many thanks for all advice/comments...

    Rachel's Visit A Success! Now We Know How To Address Jacques`

    Hi Annsa. Yes, we think we are on the right track now! Rachel explained that it wouldn't have mattered what lead/collar/route etc we tried with Jacques, since Sam passed away, he has lost his confidence completely. We now have to start again as with a young pup. Such a relief to know that even...

    Rachel's Visit A Success! Now We Know How To Address Jacques`

    I'm posting this for the benefit of the kind K9 members who have kept my spirits up by privately emailing, as well as replying to my posts re: Jacques and his current problems. We had a young woman - Rachel Hopton - in this morning, and she achieved in less than 2 hours what we have failed to...

    Ear/eye Pawing And Head Shaking - What Could This Be???

    No pawing today, despite a good run over the fields. We have Rachel Hopton coming in tomorrow for 2 hours, to assist our programme of rebilitation and confidence building, so I will also mention it to her. His eyes are both clear now but if the pawing flares up again, we will def take him down...

    Menopause Matters Takes The Biscuit!!

    LOL how true! I've been going thru mine for 12 years and although the night sweats are almost non existent the hot flushes still cause me grief! But my skin is very good for 63 and I'm convinced it's all that blood rising to the surface and feeding it!! I will post a poem I wrote about the...

    Ear/eye Pawing And Head Shaking - What Could This Be???

    About 4 weeks ago, we noticed Jacques pawing one ear/eye and shaking his head. We inspected his ears for dust/mites/dirt etc but found nothing. The eye on one side was bloodshot so we have administered eye wash drops to help wash the eye out. (We thought he may have got some grit or dust in it...

    Canny Collar Ordering Problems

    So true TTT! This hound is precious to us as our 5 grandchildren love him and want to fuss and play with him. At 3 he has the chance of a good life ahead as long as he learns to relax and enjoy being one of the "pack" and not leader of the pack! As we have noticed Jacques is much better out...
