(and I'm going to make sure they work him doubly hard at doggy hydrotherapy tomorrow to work that Lurpak off!!! )

 

[Euronova]

That is nice you are doing hydrotherapy! How often do you go? I'd love to take the girls swimming more. The ponds in the park have been really filthy and the stream was a bit too low. Maybe with all the rain it will be better tomorrow. X

To be fair Piper is only usually sick after butter! He eats pretty much anything else with an iron stomach! It's just if he manages to steal a lot in the day he always needs a poo in the night!

He had that stuff you mentioned above after he had his stomach pumped I think!?! (he ate 8 packs of chewing gum with xyitol in that he stole in a multipack out of my best friends handbag). He had his stomach pumped, loads of charcoal and was on a drip for a few days! He was sent home with some of that pro-kolin stuff!

(on a side note to show how greedy he is- the emergency vet said he was the only dog he'd ever seen that didn't have to be forcefed the charcoal! He was showing signs of hyperglycaemia (from the xyitol) but was still willingly eating, begging for and drooling over the charcoal!!!! )

Yes V- Ste is great. I'm not sure I'd cope with them both here all day with Ben without help. I'm so glad he takes them to work!! It's hell keeping Ben and Ruudi separate at weekends- never mind all week too! Plus Ben doesn't like being in a sling for very long at all so it's impossible to walk them with him xx

Piper has hydro once a week in the winter and every 3 weeks in the summer (he does lots of river swimming in the summer so doesn't need as much hydro) He has chronic arthritis in his right front leg (elbow dysplacia) he's already had two major ops on it- one at 6 months old and one at 18 months old. He's on constant anti-inflammatories and supplements too.

Its one of the major reasons we really need to keep him slim but it's SO hard when he's such a greedy boy that he steals so much! If he can't steal anything in a day he'll eat other stuff instead! Soil, sheep/cow poo on walks, cardboard from the recycling that smells of food etc....

 

[SBB]

Oh no Lou I hope bens new wonderful sleeping isn't going to be ruined

Your dog is totally mental!!!

V the fake wine is disgusting!

X x c

 

[Euronova]

Yes your dog seems a league of its own! Mind you Nova ate her dinner 5 minutes before whelping the first pup! Every breeder will tell you a sure sign of labour even for a retriever is refusing to eat... Well not her!

I thought non alcoholic wine sounded too disgusting to be any good... Oh well...

In bed now... Really hoping I wake up all better! Nite nite girls xx

The greedy fat slug sleeping off the Lurpak on the settee.....

[SBB]

Aw he is cute Lou!
Night V, hope you're better tomorrow. I have managed to wake Sammuel up and now he's wide awake

X x x

 

[babyloulou]

(Ste would like me to point out that the butter was not left out by him like an irresponsible fat dog owner! Piper climbed and stood on the basket of clean washing Ste had put on the floor to reach the back of the kitchen counter where the butter was in a sealed ceramic butter dish! Piper knocked it off with a paw and smashed it on the floor then ate the butter (cutting his Tongue in a few places on the smashed dish!! )

With how bad he is I suppose I should be grateful he only steals off Ben in a very "gentle" way.....

Greedy fat shit!!!!

 

[babyloulou]

Oh no Suz! How did you wake him? Hope he settles... xx

 

[Euronova]

Call the RSPCA! That dog is clearly mistreated lol!

How did you wake up Sammuel? Did he got back to sleep? What about Ben?

Just woke up... Definitely still stuck, this is so bloody painful! but my range of movement seems a little bit better. Going back to bed for a couple more hours. Hopefully if I rest for a few days it will disappear completely..... I really hope it does... that would really spoils it for me if I am crippled from now on
Mind you, I've had back problems all my life (usually the cervical), so I know what ut's like to be stuck in pain for days, even weeks but it also means I very well know how not fun it is

 

[babyloulou]

Oh no V I hope it gets better fast!!!

Piper kept us all up all night again

 

[SBB]

Sammuel woke up and Danny has got him back to sleep twice by playing him a music video on his phone. So I tried it and he was wide awake from about 11.30 til 2.30 bloody brilliant! FAIL!!! Will just give him boob as usual next time.

V sorry you're still in pain a tens might help if you were going to get one anyway...

Hopefully piper won't eat anything else today!!!

Did you see sandi is preggers again too?!

X x x

 

[Euronova]

Poor you and poor piper! Do get the prokolin it's a great stuff to have in the house and it really helps and might save you a few night sleep. Get the big seringue as you have a big boy! It also saved me an excess at the vet many times!

Did Sammuel sleep later?
Who is Sandi? Is she another clomid lady? It seems that the ones who took clomid for their first baby are not struggling with secondary infertility. Always reassuring!

 

[SBB]

Yeh sandi took clomid, she has 4 kids I think? Soon 5!

Sammuel slept fine after that but we are both knackered today, he is wide awake and not tired at all it seems!

X x x

 

[TySonNMe]

Hey girls! I miss the Clomid Clubbers! Too busy now I guess I'm glad Sandi got a BFP though. She adores those kids!

V, I hope you feel better today.

Lou, your dog is a riot! LoL!

I'm laughing my butt off at your dog Lou, my dog is not nearly as entertaining (though a lot less trouble I suppose).
He is a tissue-thief though and will shred any napkins or tissues you leave around....
he's gotten quite a few 'treats' off my MIL who just doesn't remember to keep food out of range... got a whole egg mcmuffin one day
He is such a freakin picky eater though... loves all people food... except bananas apparently, lol... starve himself for days when he's being picky about his own food (and we currently give him wet food over dry kibble and even warm it a touch in the microwave for him....)
I wonder if it would be healthy to let him live on cheerios? (for the record we only recently let him eat some people food and thats cleaning up after Daniel and is usually stuff like steamed veggies, avocado etc...)


Lou - I did read one woman's post on the facebook page for breastfeeding that mentioned mucus in her kid's poop and she said it was yeast-related. Just thought I'd pass that tidbit along in case it fits your situation.

 

[Euronova]

LOL, classic picky eater so sweet you microwave it, i have people like you coming into the shop everyday saying the dog won't eat the dry food I had a women hand rolling meat balls and pan frying them for a second in goose fat for her dog
If he is only fed his kibble, religiously, without any other perks... he will eat it... they usually protest for up to 3 days but most of the time they realise you are serious this time round and cave in much quicker. If you feed left overs or family members do... then you just have to accept he might not eat his kibble but if he is not getting enough from the scrap you will soon find that he will eat his kibble again

The pain in my hip/bottom is getting better i think, resting it seems the way forward. I really want to go swimming again next week... i am just a bit scared now!

Sorted my issue with Apple, got an email from the church and we can do our wedding just like we wanted and i have a hairdresser appt tomorrow with my fav hairdresser, so will make good use of resting my bum over there

Glad this week is over

 

[lisaf]

We've tried the just kibble for days... I think he went over 3 days before we caved and added wet food again.
If we travel at all he goes off his food totally and sometimes will only eat once every 3 days and even then only eat half his kibble.

 

[SBB]

Glad apple have finally sorted it! And the pain is better.

I forgot to comment on Jess yesterday - joe is a plonker!! Too soon for a divorce?! It wasn't too soon to behave like a total pig was it?!
