Pets corner!

Awwww poor thing. So far we havent had too many going off, but that will happen later on..
I have already lost one of my breeding parrots because of fireworks

As I've posted before, we have Rotties, three at the moment - all rescued.
We have had Rotties for over 25 years and they are wonderful dogs, sadly abused by the press. All of them have been rescued apart from the first.
We did also rescue a yellow lab from a fate worse than death, but he passed away two years ago.
We used to have a rescued Mynah Bird, who was a real character but had an unfortunate habit of attacking any man that came near him. With women he was lovely, but let a man anywhere within beak range and look out! It would end in blood.

We also have a tank full of tropical fish, and numerous very unofficial pets, otherwise known as 'those bloody mice!' As in -'those bloody mice have been chewing the the seal around the fridge door again!'

In addition we have three ponds, containing frogs, toads, newts, and goldfish. Some of the gold fish are rescued!

I was out walking him when it started.

First he wouldn't get out the van, then I coaxed him out. He stuck to me like glue. Then nearly halfway round he backed into a bush and lay down. All you could see was his head. Managed to coax him out and get him back to the van, but he kept freezing. His poor little heart was going mad.

My last Border collie used to be 10x worse.

Have you tried that stuff you can get from the vets Clive? I cant remember what its called, but its supposed to be good...

If you are on about sedatives then we wouldn't do that.

We did get sedatives for our last border collie one year and it just ended up with a very scared border collie that couldn't move. You could see in his eyes that he was out of it but still very scared. We were worried that he was actually not going to pull through.

I will pop up to my local vets if I get chance tomorrow Clive and see what the stuff is.

Here is Suzie she is a lab/terrier cross, weird I know but she has a sweet temperament and is devoted to my son oh and food, mainly food in fact....lol

Fireworks scared him? Or just did he not want you picking him up???
