Do you think he is happy?

Went to check on Rusty and found him like this 🤣🙌🫶👏🏻💤💗🥰
Although he loves being away, seems he agrees there really is no place like home 🩷

We are home 🩷

This morning we decided rather than stay at a good free/donation camp in Wundowie, that we might as well come home.

We had to be back by the end of the weekend and we felt it time.
Rusty realised he was home and had a big smile on his face, then went to sniff anything new on the block.
Once satisfied he laid in his favourite spot to sunbake, without his harness, collar, long line etc. Must feel good 😊 since then he has moved a few times but still sleeping away _z*

Today we left Wongan Hills and travelled to Dowerin so that Rusty, could meet Rusty the tin dog
And we also met Rosie (they should have called her Ruby and it would have been perfect).
Nice little town.

Another rainy day today.....so another rest day here in the Wheatbelt.

For Rusty it was another day, another oval to sniff 👃🐽

Today we moved on to Wongan Hills. It is a beautiful sunny day here with no wind. 15 degrees in the sun is warm.

Once here we went and cruised around town- visited the Information Centre which was closed, dropped a book in the free library booth in the shelter, and took another.

We saw the tall poppies, and grabbed a few things from IGA. It is a great store and prices weren't too bad either 🙈

Tomorrows raining again so we will see what it looks like in the morning 🌼

No pics of Rusty out today so here is one of him relaxing in bed just now 💗

Wildflower chasing....
Today was the day we were going to hunt down the famous Wreath Flower out near Wubin WA.
First pic is Rusty waiting for us- he wanted to be outside and all other campers had left so it was safe.
He can hold “place” well (thanks Lorri) so he laid there and waited
Got info on where the Wreath Flowers had last been seen and off we went.
Great drive full of wildflowers, canola fields, and unfortunately wattles 🤧🤣

As you can see - we had success. Shortly after this, and after a stop in Dalwallinu, it was windy, raining and freezing, so we headed home to the van 🩷

We moved on today. Stopped at a small town outside Moora, after filling our water tank, and emptying our other tanks 💩

We will be here for a
few days before moving on, but will do a few day trips to see some wildflowers 🪻🌼🌸🌻🌺
Rusty has a lovely green oval to sniff and run on 🩷

Another day in New Norcia.....first up today we did the River Walk with Rusty. The sun was shining,
the birds were singing and it was a lovely walk. We also revisited some of the sites from the tour that we wanted to explore more. Rusty was so happy running and sniffing, and meeting the odd person or two.
A quick lunch and cuppa, and we were off to explore the Museum and Art gallery. We were amazed at how much was in there. Great to see following the tour. Amazing history here.
Highly recommend a visit here

New Norcia Monastery Tour

Today we did the walking tour at New Norcia. We will walk back around tomorrow and view what we can in more detail.
Such an amazing history, but also very saddening.

Rusty had a great day completing the River Walk.
Some of it was too hard to complete due to all the heavy rain. Rusty found the muddy puddles, and another walker commented on how happy he looked 🩷
He is still very much enjoying life.

Unfortunately no photos of our boy were taken as the photographer was sleeping on the job whilst dad did the walk 🙈💤🤣

Rusty update 🩷

Since Rustys 10th birthday in May, and the diagnosis of severe DCM - we are so happy to report he is stable 🙌 at the moment 🙏

His Wobblers is stable, DCM is stable after nearly losing him on his birthday, and having a cardiac event a while ago where we lost him on our bush block. He has responded extremely well to his medications.

Around 5-6 weeks ago he developed a severe UTI, that cleared with treatment, but a few days later he developed severe diarrhoea which again cleared with treatment. Last week it started again 💩

Vet ran bloods and checked him thoroughly. He has lost weight and is done to 35.4kg’s - down from 39ish 3 months ago. He hasn’t had a good appetite for months.

We spoke to his vet yesterday. Bloods were unremarkable, so we are thinking it’s caused by long term steroids (for his Wobblers) which we can’t stop.

We are currently working with the vet to determine the best diet for him and see what effect this has.

So our boy is going remarkably well given everything that is going on.

We credit this to the amazing care of our vet, our Canine physio, and of course our boys resilience, and big big heart ❤️ he is so precious and is not ready to go yet.

So stay tuned……once the 💩 are sorted, we will hit the road for a holiday finally.

It has been so hard taking life one day at a time,, and waking everyday wondering if that was the day he would pass.

Today he got a new toy, just because 🥰🥰🥰💗

Brought this for Rusty last week without really looking at it. It was just a goofy thing to try.

Well I pulled it out today, and it’s actually chicken broth 🐓and some great supplements 💊

Since increasing his Frusemide last week he is not really eating. So today he had some beer for breakfast 🤣
