Savuka Mambo Sun (Isaac) owned by Bryan Kelly of Johannesburg has been successfully mated to Whirlwind Chasing Dreams (Annie) owned by Rose-Marie Cabion and Juliette Duthie of Cape Town. The pups are due mid March.
Hi there,
I have been speaking to human opthalmologist about the issue of not wanting to use cortic-steroid eyedrops for a long period of time. His advice is to treat the affected eye(s) with a barrier gel like "TEAR GEL" which contains artificial tears as well as a slightly oily lubricant...
It sounds like an allergy, but then one would think both eyes would be affected. Puzzling indeed. We are fortunate not to have the problems some breeds have with eyes. Perhaps a trip to the vet with Penny would be advisable - one doesn't like to mess around with eyes.
Good luck and please...
The tea bag should do the trick if it is a mild conjunctivitus. But I don't know if it will work if it is an allergy.
I have a whippet (also with more prominent eyes than my others) and every year during spring she develops what appears to be an allergy of sorts in both eyes - excessive...
Often it is a case of us treating our dogs like people and then being shocked when they behave like dogs ;)
While I am around, I am boss dog - and all my dogs know this. I am in charge of all the resources (attention, cuddles, food, walks, treats, outings in the car, warm beds, etc, etc)...
Happy Birthday, Badger :cheers: You are the epitome of "growing old gracefully". Pups are adorable and cute and sweet, but you can't beat an oldie like Badger in my book!!!!!
He reminds me of my 13 year old "Boots" - also fawn, also distinguished!!

Here is a useful link to more info on Sasha's Blend. Many whippet owners in Australia and New Zealand (where it originated) absolutely swear by it:

I have my older dogs on MSG supplements for arthritis, but have heard that SASHA'S BLEND provides excellent results. Does any one have experience with it? It is apparently quite pricey, so I would like some more information on it before buying. It is available online.

A dog like Dina is worth her weight in gold when it comes to teaching the youngsters all the intricacies of doggy body language. I say go out and RESCUE AN OLDIE like her and you will have a well-balanced canine household. It's a wonderful "investment" because she passes her skills on to the...
This is SO, SO sad. I never had the privilege of meeting Rowan, but as part of the worldwide whippet community, I would like to offer all at Citycroft my deepest, sincerest sympathy on the loss of one of their family.
Thinking of you - not only today, but in the coming weeks when the shock...
What a mystery! I, for one, will be worried all night until I hear you have found her. So you won't be spending your sleepless night alone :( .
I had a similar experience when walking my Dobes along a VERY familiar route. They too never, ever strayed far. I stopped to help someone with...
I get cold shivers just thinking about what you went through - THIS IS ONE OF MY WORST NIGHTMARES!!!! I'm SO, SO So pleased Star's gaurdian angel :luck: was with her.

Of course I love my youngsters dearly, but it is my precious oldies that share so many memories with me. They are so dignified and stoic in their old age.
Our oldies definitely deserve a thread dedicated SOLELY to them. Please share your anecdotes and DON'T FORGET THE PICS. . . . We see SO...
What a GREAT home for a whippie!!!! :)) To answer your original question, "No, no, no you are not being selfish or irresposible AT ALL. Very few people think through what an addition to their family will involve as thoroughly as you have.
You obviously know all there is to know about...
Hi,
Ahhh, family planning again, hey???? :) What are the ages and genders of your 4 dogs?
I find it essential in a multidog household (yes, I share my home with 11 :o ) to be able to SEPARATE them should it be necessary. For instance, to leave 5 dogs unsupervised alone to their own...
