Heartbreaking…the poor little mite. In that horrible cell all alone. At least he is at peace now

Hi Mary. Calmly but firmly….From behind on the right side place you hand around her mouth with your thumb on top and slip your first finger between her lips at the back of her mouth and then between her teeth on that side. Then with the other hand place the pill as far back in the mouth as possible on TOP of the back of her tongue. Your body blocks her if she reverses. Close mouth immediately and massage her throat with your right hand to illicit the swallow reflex. Wait until you are sure you have the full swallow. Be as patient as she is! Unless stated otherwise, I give tablets before meals so that the pills are associated with a happy event, even as far as having the dinner ready on the worktop. My dogs are always happy to take pills!!! Never had a failure yet! You just need to be more determined than the dog, knowing that is is so important. Best of luck. If you need a demo in person, I am happy to call in, if you’re within reach. You can pm me Fianna

Had the pleasure of bringing the mad hatter that is Hetty down to Marie last week. While I was there, Hetty took a dip in the pond to say hello to the fish Poor Murray didn’t know what had happened to him, as he was exhausted when I was leaving. The plan had been to take them both for a walk but he badly needed a good rest first A few too many inches on the waistline I have been thinking of you all since Marie and keeping paws crossed that Murray would manage I am thrilled that the darling little girl has found such a great home. Have a lovely new life petal x Fianna

Ah Anne, Travis looks so at peace in that lovely photo So sorry to hear he isn’t that well at the moment but it will pass. Thanks a mil for giving him his life back Will be looking forward to his updates!
Travis is food motivated and will be easy to train. He is a big strong lovely dog to be proud of, and is looking for a wonderful forever home Fianna

Wow this is Happy Endings with a capital H! From a wonderful foster family to a wonderful forever family…what a fantastic story from start to finish. Thanks to all for the regular updates throughout (makes all the difference)…very happy reading…lifts the heart anyday

Its always emotional for me when one of the dogs I know so well gets its forever home. I will miss you Angel and hope you have a wonderful life. Inga and Raz have done such a wonderful job…I was up with them last Monday and the last of Angel’s uncertainty had completely gone and she wanted to hog all the attention and pets and treats It actually took that long for her to be the complete package that she now is…for her new family to enjoy. Will be gasping for updates A wonderful dog…..Fianna x

Thats fantastic Cathy..its great to see Mel out and safe, and most of all HAPPY Very interesting that you mention tips that you were given for dog introductions. It would be most helpful if you could pass these on perhaps in the Paws for a Chat section. Thanks a mil Fianna

[blueindigo]

Thanks a mil to all…I was shocked when I heard…I never even win an argument It is being, and will continue to be, shared out amongst all the furry friends I meet in D.I.D. Boris (aka Mr B) has agreed to this Fianna

[blueindigo]

So sorry to hear you’re unwell Tia. You’re such a warm hearted cuddly big bear…I know Aoife will be caring for you 100%. Will be thinking of you on Wed. x

Sounds like Albert couldn’t have been luckier to have landed with you and his new foster doggies. You’re doing a fantastic job, rehabilitating him emotionally and preparing him for a normal happy life. Thanks a mil! Have a great big soft spot for Beardies! Can’t see him long in foster Fianna

[blueindigo]

Thanks a mil…every penny counts Fianna

Hi Tara
Just to say that volunteers can resize the posters to A5 at printing time which can fit better on notice boards and vets and pet shops, and they are happier to agree to this size. Just another option Fianna

Kathy..working your usual magic on these 2 mites. Your goodness and energy are endless. What an appalling start they had but how quickly they can put it behind them with the right loving care. Fab job, Mrs Doyle Fianna
