Goodnight @oceangirl 💜🤗😴😴😴😴

OMG @oceangirl that ia such wonderful news about Trouble. I am so relieved for you both

@oceangirl Thats wonderful news, feeling much better today and that news has definitely put a smile on my face.

@Zoe7Best news ever but still need to keep a close eye on her.

Hi again @Change123 It was a relief thats for sure. I am glad you are feeling better too. Sending you lots of hugs. Take Care

Definitely best news ever @oceangirl so so so happy for you both

I managed to get to the beach with Toby this afternoon. There were only a few people and dogs on the beach and the tide was way out so Toby ran all over the place - he is worn out now (and so is his Mummy) but it was worth it to see him so happy and active.

I hope you are feeling a little better today too.

...to the stars and back...

Zoe

Thanks @oceangirl

Apologies for the other day I was extremely emotional due to my hormones and I guess I still grieve my last boy even though this one is my baby too.

Have they got your dog on any medication like steroids or anything?

I actually feed my current boy a lot of stuff on the cancer diet as a preventative thing and it just goes to show about dry dog biscuits. Our first boy we fed mainly home cooked meals and dry biscuits made up 20% of his diet and he lived to 10 when he got cancer too. Unfortunately cancer is previlent in german shepherds but 10 was a reasonable age, then when we got our 2nd boy that died at 4 we were incouraged by breeders and vets to feed dry dog biscuits and can as it had more vitamins etc but I feel now that was the wrong decision so this current boy who is 5 I feed mainly home cooked and raw food and he maybe gets 25% of his diet as dry biscuits. Not sure which one you use, I know black hawk is good but recently my pet shop got ivory coat which I believe has had lots of good reviews and I think even by choice so I keep him on those. I do give him grains but I cook them ie brown and white rice, pasta white and brown and home made polenta, oats and millet.

Let us know progress on Trouble and give him a big hug from me!

All good @Change123 , no need to apologize at all but thank you..

I do understand your loss and I truly feel for you. I think its important to think of the good memories you have of your dog. Trouble is a girl, my staffy is full of beans.

I don't really take that much notice of how much dry food Kira eats it would not be much- it would be only be about 15% of her diet or less.

Is your five year old dog a German Shepherd too? The dry food is advance pet food. Trouble seems to like it, I think its because she does not get it very often though. I gave Kira handful of biscuits tonight after her dinner- I cooked up cottage pie for her yum yum.

I also give her boiled eggs, salmon,grilled fish,beef,lamb, chicken, rice, pasta, veggies and oats. She has quite a good diet. She is almost 10 and half years old in Dec she will be 11 years old.

I think she is doing well and I try to do my best to make sure she is taken care of properly. Whats the name of your dog??

I am still up tonight not feeling as tired as last nite. In 11 days I will be going to Sydney for 6 days, I am looking forward to the breakaway. Planning on going to the soccer, Vivid Sydney (light,music and ideas festival) and just having fin in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Tomorrow I have Doctors appointment and going down to see my parents and the rest I will just see what I feel like doing. I am happy the Cowboys won the footie tonight.
