Neoshaman Posted December 8, 2009 well... how quickly things change. between my last post and today both my dogs got into a little bit of strife with a kangaroo and now I'm on nurse duties. there is a chance that I could still make it but it depends on recovery. I also need to save as much money as possible to pay for a double hip replacement for Dog #1 & you don't want to know how much that costs... years ago we had to get several metal plates inserted into the leg of a shetland sheepdog this was 10 -15 years ago and it still cost a fortune then , so i only dread to think what that will cost you WT , sorry to hear about that WT hope they make a speedy recovery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yawning Man Posted December 8, 2009 (edited) Ouch WT hope your mates recover! And Neo man, if i had a dollar for every fuckwit on the road i'd be swimming in it lol. Fingers crossed somehow you'll both be able to make it in the end. As for me i'm confirmed. Hopefully friday arvo, even joined racv today just to cover all possibilities. Catch you all on the weekend. Cheers Edited December 8, 2009 by Yawning Man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PD. Posted December 8, 2009 Shit WT, hope tha dogs are gon be ok, musta been one mutha of a roo! Look after them mate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
watertrade Posted December 8, 2009 Shit WT, hope tha dogs are gon be ok, musta been one mutha of a roo! Look after them mate. thanks guys, Both dogs are ok, but the one with the dodgy hips is having trouble walking which is sickening to watch. she has hip dysplasia and this seems to have made them much worse. the vet doesn't really know how bad its going to be until we can take x-rays when they settle a bit. I was at home with my feet up while my girlfriend was walking them so didn't see what happened but both dogs are pretty big. (Great Dane/english pointer & Irish wolfhound/greyhound ) The kangaroo got away too by the way. anyway, I hope it goes well on the banks of the Murray.

apothecary Posted December 10, 2009 Hows the situation wt? Hope all is well for you and your pups. Soak up this rain Melbournites 'cos the BOM is forecasting a sunny warm weekend up at the border (olé) temps ranging from 16-29 over the weekend. I am anticipating a lot of lying on my back looking at the sky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am anticipating a lot of lying on my back looking at the sky. Thanks for your concern Apothecary, I won't be making it to the fishing trip which is a shame as I really wanted to meet some more people and hang out with the Rutherglan locals again (I hope 'step' makes it again this year. Dog one is doing better - the vet has given her 227mg of previcox daily which seems to be working well. her hips are still crunchy and is in pain but she is starting to feel better. The diffeculty of seeing her struggle to walk is realy hard to take but I'm starting to see improvments, the clouds are starting to part... so to speak. I can't imagine how families with real problems cope. anyway, if the fishing trip was a week later I would be there for sure. I'm sure it will be a super relaxed weekend. have fun Edited December 10, 2009 by watertrade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
watertrade Posted December 10, 2009 Would any of the Sydney attendees mind picking up my esky from PD and holding on to it for a few weeks? - I will be Sydney in a little while but not down Victoria way until the next fishing trip. That would be super - but not a problem if you can’t. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
