But, since these do not cover for thick and other deseases common in mediterranean countries, when we travel in summer in south france and corsica we  integrate with a second pipette of advantix and also a scalibor collar

now, our vet changed the suggested course of action and…

hi all !

I am wondering if you had similar experiences. Our Oberon is now hitting 8 years and half and the behaviour has changed a lot. He calmed down ( a  bit), which is not bad considering we are also hitting 50 years, but he is still crazy as an IS can be (although Oberon was always a gentle and not too crazy guy, for an IS standard i mean).. .

While driving back from Corsica to the UK, I did a stop in Les Houches after the Mont Blanc Tunnel, just to shake my legs. The one on the background is the Aguille Verte (Mont Blanc) !

Dear all: we just had a good outcome regarding the post below! We had the results of the biopsy and the spot  was benign: no one single abnormal cell was visible !!!  I am so glad we removed it and did the test: now we know it was nothing nasty and is not going to come back again :))) A simple growing pigment,  in the end!

Oberon doesnt quite understand why we are all so happy and smiling, i think  he just decided that he's going to be  happy and smiling  as well becase we are…

Hey, just to let you know that a few of us hope to met at camber sands tomorrow, around 12-1pm for a walk on the sand dunes and a swim (dogs only, since is quite cold;).

The idea has circulated in the group "setters in the south east" but I though is nice to post it here in case somebody  in the area wish to join :))

sorry  for the short notice: it was very difficult to find a day that fits and most of the messages have been circulated in the subgroup! hope to see a lot of…
