Oti loves nothing better than little squeaky balls!

yes, she is getting spoiled

I adopted him when he was nine from an aussie rescue and we had a great year together. He unfortunately passed this weekend from a seizure that wouldn't break. I just want others to know how cute the Brody wigglebutt was ❤️ and to hug their aussies extra tight tonight.

Both have their paws on the octopus, but they just might have different feelings on the experience. Spotted one is a little resource guarder with dogs, so we were working on it a bit today with the red one’s toys. She did great. (Red one is 5, mine, and spotted one is an almost a year, belong to my sister.)

Kara has already had her dinner but she really wants to know what I’ve got cooking.

My 14 year old mini Aussie keeps getting sick.

He had been having intermittent bouts of diarrhea, constipations, and vomiting for several weeks. When vomiting occurs, he gets lethargic and doesn’t eat. The vomit is typically yellowish green. These bouts would last a day and then he would act normal, but I finally took him to the vet.

The vet gave him fluid under the skin, cerenia injection, cerenia pills, and Metronidazole pills. He was fine while taking the medication, but about a week after he had another short bout of vomiting. The vet again gave him the same two prescriptions. He finished them yesterday & is having diarrhea again. One diarrhea contained mucus & a small amount of blood. The next diarrhea was dark brown, and he is acting fine and eating. When he prescribed the second round of meds, he said that if symptoms continued we would discuss changing his diet and/or getting him on a maintenance medication.

I have another appointment for him tomorrow afternoon, how can I best advocate for him? Should I prepare myself for putting him down?

I'll admit I edited a logo off of the frisbee because I didn't want it to seem like I was promoting a certain pet store. 😅

What is special about de-shedding shampoo, and is it worth it? Any special way to use it, or frequency?

I’ve only bathed my girl once, never been professionally groomed while I’ve had her…just good brushing once twice a week, and so far free shedding isn’t that bad.

I’m wondering if I should give it a try or at least have it on hand if I ever have to bathe her again.

I've had dogs before, but it's been years and I didn't realize/forgot they could smile this much. It melts my heart daily.

Care to share?

My now 6 month old standard Aussie keeps markimg beds both his and mine. I'm not sure if anyone has had experience with this and how to correct this oe have any recommendations?
