Hi all

Just a thought, over here we have something called teta testing. Basically it's a blood test that shows wether they require any vaccinations. I have mine vaccinated for lepto annually but they very rarely require any other vaccines, perhaps every 4-7 years. Obviously this is a personal choice but I don't want to overload mine with anything they don't need. Also this is particularly useful when I take on a rescue, even though they come fully vaccinated, I don't know if they are going to require annual vacs or if they have got a build up. Do you have this over there?

So glad that Gus is feeling better, and wow, what a mum you are. You are so attuned to his needs and feelings, I think it is wonderful. He landed on his paws when he got you.

Me and mine are all fine but it is hot here (for UK) so the kids (dogs) run around as they wish and then flake out in the shade, for a while, then start all over again. Grace, my old girl, does as she chooses! Normally running out onto the farm, then strolling, then resting in the shade and when she is fed up or tired she takes herself back to the house and settles down on a couch in the kitchen and has a snooze, until she is ready to go again. When she first starting doing this, I spent half the day going back to the house to check she was there but now I know she always is so I don't worry. She comes and goes at her leisure. I know I and they are very lucky to have this situation.

Ann is currently doing most of the looking after Mum as I need to be on the farm, but Mum is ok, still deteriorating, but slowly. I see her 3-4 times a week, so that feels a bit strange, but the farm needs me too. I will make up for it in the Winter.

I am sorry to hear about the grump, some people just don't learn. I feel sorry for the dog, it's not it's fault.

I have been really worried about Dean, when he disappeared from my FL and then the Wiki. We can't go into details here but please pass on my love and best wishes and I will try to sort out my email so I can contact him directly.

Just a quick update
