... is cancelled. Poppy chose this time to come into heat. We HAVE to drive over to the UK next week, as we have a funeral to attend, but we clearly cant take her with us now. The kennel wont take her (at least not the good one, which is the only kennels where I'll leave her) so I am having to call in a few favours from friends and neighbours to look after her next week. I hate leaving her when she is feeling a bit under the weather, but really there is no choice in the matter. I just hope our young friend who will be house- and dog-sitting for a few days is vigilant... I will have to say he can only walk her on the lead. And then she'll have to stay with a neighbour for a couple of days - one who has wooden floors, rather than carpets! Also, she had a bit of a vomiting episode last night (dinner, and then grass and yukky slime) - do you think this is a coincidence, or could it have something to do with her heat?
Re: Poppy's UK Visit Part 2... Oh what a shame My experience with bitches on heat is minimal, so I'm not help there....
Re: Poppy's UK Visit Part 2... So glad you've found lovely friends to look after her!! Sorry can't help with the on heat side of things.....
Re: Poppy's UK Visit Part 2... Sorry Karen,you know I'm useless but so sorry about the timing....one more thing that you could have done without I'm sure ....everyone will take really good care of her,I'm sorry for you having to leave her x
Re: Poppy's UK Visit Part 2... OH says he caught her eating acorns this morning on their walk. Acorns used to make Bones really, really sick (think fizzy vomit ), so perhaps they are the culprit.
Re: Poppy's UK Visit Part 2... Very likely Karen , my old Lab Tess used to graze on them until we realised the effects they had : So sorry that you have this added stress at a time when you could well do without it , thinking of you x
Re: Poppy's UK Visit Part 2... Poor Poppy - and you could have done without having to rearrange all the plans!
Re: Poppy's UK Visit Part 2... Oh Karen, poor Poppy and just when you really don't need it. I am sure between your friends Poppy will be just fine. Please don't worry. Sending you lots of {{{hugs}}} Helen x

Re: Poppy's UK Visit Part 2... Just back home, so lovely to be back with my Pops! Sitting here on the couch watching Downton Abbey with her... (She loves Downton ) Her bleeding has changed - it is still quite copious, but more watery. I think she is in full estrus now. She is quieter than normal, and seems to need an extra lot of cuddles. The little love...
Re: Poppy's UK Visit Part 2... Glad your home safely and reunited with Poppy. Downton Abbey is filmed 10 miles from where I live in the very beautiful Highclere Castle Helen xx
Re: Poppy's UK Visit Part 2... Lots of cuddles required all round no doubt - making up for lost cuddles as well as making Pops feel better ;D
