Hang in there, Gandalf. Life will take a turn for the better very soon. We are mourning the loss of our boy, Ace, who had to be put to sleep a few weeks ago. Our first grey taught us so much, and come the new year, we will add a new family member. Would love to take on a grey with additional challenges (maybe).
So very sorry to hear of your loss of your boy, Ace. It breaks our hearts when they pass over the rainbow bridge. Sending you healing, and hope that you can add a new family member to your household, as there are so many greys out there who need loving, caring homes, like yours. Blessings from Jilly & Madge. xxx
@@jillychandler thanks! We will definitely be welcoming a new grey in the new year - it's only a question of who will join us. Looking forward to the pitter patter of paws again. For a quiet breed, you only notice what noise they do make when it's even quieter in the house lol
@@SuseMck994 Yes, I know what you mean! My favoutite sound Madge make is when she is slurping her water as she drinks it! The house is not a home without an animal in it. xxx
Hi. Hope you are well❤🎉. My Hattie was on royal canin when I adopted her. Very upset tum at adoption! We transitioned to a grain free alternative and I broke her diet down to:- porridge, veg, mashed grain free kibble, sardines, salmon, occasional chicken. We found that frozen fish eg from Iceland (3 x 4 steaks for £10) was wonderful. I buy the fish for me and Hattie so it works really well. We do have to take it easy with chicken - chicken breast ok, other sections like legs and wings = no no. We adapted the diet over time and as she settled post adoption...very few tummy issues. Hatties utter faves are sardinies and porridge - say the words to her she goes nuts😅😅😅 we love your porridge, carrot etc crunchies recipe. That was a game changer❤❤🎉🎉
My Madge (she is 7 now) is suffering from arthritis a bit I think - can you recommend anything that would help her that I can give her please Jill? Thank you for all your videos, I love your clan! Blessings from Jilly & Madge in West Devon, England. xxx
@@jillychandler my boy did really well on the new(ish) beransa injection. It's pricey but if it gets severe, it might be worth a chat with your vet about. It doesn't cause liver/kidney problems that can occur with anti inflammatories.
There are lots of supplements available you could try, i typically go for YuMove but anything similar is worth a go. I'd you are considering Beransa/Librela please join one of the Facebook groups about it and read carefully. While it can work for some, there is a risk of side effects to the point where dogs have to be put to sleep, so not a decision to be taken lightly or without careful investigation from your vet first. It can work extremely well, but given the risks I would see it as a last resort rather than a first choice

Bless the fuzzy faced wizard, he's not been too happy when the others get their treats and especially gets the hump at toast time
It will be so interesting to see how he gets on, looking forward to next edition!😄
It's certainly been tricky at times
