ALL DOG OWNERS show us your pooch

[Bob]

A somewhat sad post for our beautiful Blue Dog Del!
Tough old faithful silly girl has foolishly survived over the years the likes of severe horse double barrel kicks, heavy vehicle trailer wheel pancakes & twisted/blocked gut veterinary operations twice from sneaky snacking on hunters bunny fur balls.
Dogmentia with longevity is sadly true and only just now kindly educated by our neighbouring vet nurse for next caring steps needed.
Signs to look out for earlier and possibly medicate/diet/occupy accordingly have now been educated:
*Wandering/pacing (especially after dark, lost bearings )
* Anxiety/Excessive licking (paws, faces etc..)
* Unknown displays of dominance (tucker bowl wars and frustrated anger)

List does apparently go on but we should not forget that in age we are allowed to get a little bit cranky I guess?

Sorry to hear Bob, Shelley was a lovely dog and obviously a long time companion.

Sorry to hear Mark, Dell is known to a lot of us on here.
Is it something that diet can help with? Probably not but changing my dog over to "science diet" dog food gave him better quality of life for his last year and half.

Thanks Tony, yes I believe so too mate, we’re off to the vet booking this morning for blood testing and future care plans for her.
As Plassy kindly mentioned she’s always patrolled the property but never left the boundaries. Scarily was found 3kms away the other night walking down the middle of the highway completely lost.

She’s a much happier camper being back home in the hills than poked and prodded this morning at the clinic.

Blood test results back Monday and unfortunately nothing can be done for all senses disappearing causing most anxiousness.
Ordered in some super special tucker that scientifically is plausible but no known studies to prove yet.
Some good wholesome advice given on secure feeling sleeping boxes and to keep up familiar travels on the front seat of the Patrol

Almost forgot, prescribed 1mg Valium for emergency only tense situations like thunderstorms or the like.

What is Del's age mate (human yrs)?

[MB]

15 I think mate, she probably should have received a letter from the Queen some 5 (doggy years) ago
