I feel much better now ready to brave the cold wind 14 degrees here in Sydney today.
Have to go up the street to post some sales and get out of the house in general.
Back to work tomorrow and untangle my blardy phone cord.
I love my junior girls, really, :-x

not really gossip but inside knowledge about the brave little 11 year old who was tied to a chair in Beerwah.

More will come out, but apparently the perpetrator tied her to a chair with rope....she bit her way through the rope to free herself..meanwhile the man ( a male who had a relationship with the girls mother) filled the house with gas, then struck a match. Thank god she escaped in time. What's the matter with men ????? I despair sometimes.

Wow what a time we have had. Last Thursday our toy macho poodle threw up a few times - no big deal thought us.. dogs do that now and then. Keep in mind he had 1/3 of his dinner Wednesday night.

Friday, we to take him to the local Greencross vets who have misdiagnosed a lot of ailments in the past. By this time, our doggie appeared to have a bit of weakness in one hind leg. Vet checked his temp - aok. We asked a few times whether it could be a tick. She said "don't think so". She checked his ears - a little inflammation there as poodles tend to have and I have the drops to put in them. She then proceeded to do a quote on having macho poodles' testicles removed plus clean his teeth. She gave him an injection for the vomiting and off we went back home.

Saturday he stopped vomiting but he didn't eat or drink. Sunday he started to be sick a few times. Monday morning, he became sicker and his back end was giving out and daughter recommended her wonderful Vet. We left at 7:15am and found he was on holidays until the 23rd June ๐Ÿ˜ž Off we went to the Emergency Vet Clinic, arrived at 8:05am and was told they were had just closed at 8:am. Fortunately they are in the same building as the specialist vets and they recommended another vet clinic.

Took him in and the Vet decided to keep him and check him for ticks. An hour and half later, phone call to say yes they had found it and they would shave him all over to check for any others.

To cut an even longer story shorter, he has been on oxygen, he hasn't eaten since last Wed night, he has a canula in his front leg. We bring him home every night as this Clinic isn't open 24/7 and no-one is there to monitor. Yesterday was a hard decision we had to make as Vet said he would need to stay in ICU at the Emergency Clinic but we managed to get a friend's oxygen tank and the Vet let us bring him home.

This morning, he was lifting his head, his oxygen levels were higher and all the Vet needs to do now is get him to drink water from a bowl and eat something and we can bring him home woohoooo.... it has been a stressful week.

Off to pick him up now for the night and that is my "what ya doin?" lol.
Cheers

sammee, hope your little darling is tearing around the yard very soon. I'd avoid the Greencross vet like the plague, we had a useless vet just like that, he was terrified of dogs quite obviously chose the wrong profession. Every time he had to give our lovely Sebbie (a Basenji) a needle he'd strap a muzzle on him, put it on so tightly one evening that his eyes were bulging (Sebbieโ€™s, not the vets), our gorgeous dog struggled so hard to breath because of the damn muzzle that the vet ended up giving the injection to himself, no more fleas for the vet... the comic antics were well worth the cost. Needless to say we changed to another vet.

This story should be titled โ€œMy Day at Vinniesโ€, what a disaster...firstly the โ€˜new you beautโ€™ registerer ceased to function and theyโ€™d already taken our faithful old clunker away, when we finally managed to get the stupid thing functioning the EFTPOS machine threw a wobbly, we had unhappy customers lined up way outside the door. THEN at 3:55 a particular customer, who is always a right royal pain in the tooshie and is fully aware that we close the doors at 4:00pm, strolled around picking things up and then putting them back down, into the change room and back out again, when I finally couldnโ€™t stand it anymore, I politely went up to her and pointed out that the time was now 4:20, she had the audacity to say, โ€œWell you do get paid overtime after allโ€...Hellooo, we work for nothing, and nothing + overtime = 00000!

Please, please make tomorrow better!!! :_|

Sammee, glad your little dog is coming goos.
