This is an article from a vet. about the reasons why dogs eat grass.

It may be of interest to you if your waggy-tailed baby behaves like a lawn mower sometimes...

This is all so hideous and unbearable... How can we consider this acceptable? What gives us humans the right to inflict such terrible abuse on another living creature, especially gentle, intelligent and loving creatures like the ones we abuse on our farms?

Pigs as it happens are more intelligent than dogs. The average intelligence of a pig is that of a three-year-old. There are videos on YouTube of pigs playing with learning toys, solving little puzzles, putting little jigsaws together.

I know eating meat is Mother Nature's way - animals eat each other, but that cannot justify abuse of the level we inflict on the animals we call food.

I feel ashamed to be human.
Please share this post, for the sake of compassion, and 'humanity' though I'm not sure why it's called that since we humans seem to have the least amount of it.

Mother pigs are trapped in cages so tiny they can’t care for their piglets.

Worth noting...

Urgent warning issued over dog chew toy that can cause ‘werewolf syndrome' - The Food Standards Agency said the chews can cause alarming symptoms, such as howling and aggressive behaviour, and can be fatal

The causes of this phenomenon have long been a mystery, and newly conducted research complicates the situation even further. It suggests that increased mutation did not significantly impact this rapid evolution. The quadrupeds currently residing in the exclusion zone in Chernobyl are descendants of....

Our best friends to the rescue again... Is there anything that dogs can't help us with?

With their astounding sense of smell and ability to find what humans can’t see, dogs are quickly becoming some of conservationists’ best friends.

Please share this as widely as possible.
Thank you, D.xx 🙏🙏🙏

The general wolf hunting season in Montana has been open for less than a month, and already 26 wolves have been hunted down, including 1 wolf from a region bordering Yellowstone.

Wolves in this region should not continue to suffer under the harmful hunting policies of the Northern Rockies states.

It’s time to ! It’s time to !

Take action for wolves today at RelistWolves.Org.

So very true... And how very sad. 😔😔😔

Please share... This poor dog was hit by a car and just left to die. She has small puppies, and the charity that's trying to help her is now so deeply in debt that it cannot raise enough money for her rescue and medical treatment.
Thank you so much. D.xx 🙏🙏🙏

A kind and touching gesture by these players... I hope the public compassion that they have shown influences the actions of their fans and followers.
I salute these kind-hearted men.
We definitely need more compassion in our world.

With so much pain in the world... I thought I'd share some laughs...

I can smell this from here. So much dogs in one room.

Hello all,

Hope you and all your furry babies are well.

I have been meaning to write this for a while, but things have been so very busy here, that I simply haven’t had the energy left at the end of the day to write a post.

Pixie, our little ‘Pom Pom’ , ‘Pommet’ or Pixie Pom’) has been quite unwell for the past few weeks...

We had seen droplets of blood all over the place, but couldn't figure out exactly which one of the dogs was injured. Around that time, Angel had hurt herself poking her face into thorny bushes and trying to push through a gap in a fence while trying to snoop around a fox's den and had really badly injured her cheek, so we kept thinking it was Angel...

And then one day when little Pixie got up to go for a wee suddenly blood gushed out of her and we realised to our horror that it was her.

Following that, she started smelling of fish, so it became obvious that she had developed a very bad UTI (urinary track infection).

I took her to the vet as soon as I could and got a couple of prescriptions for her for antibiotics.

After that episode, though her UTI seemed to have cleared, her water intake rocketed, and I suspected that the infection had compromised her kidneys.

Further visits to the vet with blood tests done subsequently have proved thankfully, that her kidney function is fine, so I am hugely relieved,
The UTI however had a very bad effect on her bladder control and since she had that she's become very incontinent so we've started her on some incontinency medication the vet recommended. It hasn't worked yet, but it takes some time to build up in the system and start taking effect.

However, two of the vets suspect that she may have Cushing's disease, so today I am taking another urine sample to the clinic to get that tested. The last sample I dropped off, for some reason sat in the clinic fridge and became too old for testing (why they didn't send it off, I can't imagine). Hopefully, this time the sample will get sent off promptly and we'll know what is going on with little Pixie Pom.

The second vet I spoke to explained that her raised water consumption may be because of the Cushing's, so hopefully once we know the results from the urine test, she can start some treatment.

Other than that the poor little thing fell over a couple of times trying to get out of the back door, unfortunately, there’s a very difficult step you have to climb over to get out of the back door into the garden, and she hurt herself, so she has been really struggling to move. The vet gave me some Loxicom (strong painkiller) to give her along with the normal painkiller that she's been on for osteoarthritis, and I'm hoping it'll start working soon.

It's the Chinese Lunar New Year today as I discovered from the Google Doodle...

So to all of us feeling a little worn down, and missing all the festivities of the Christmas period, here's to you...

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!

Lots of love and good wishes to you,
