Bateleur1 Posted August 14, 2020 Share You think it will get me back to racing snake weight? Do they have a golden years low calorie one ? Asking for a friend who is also struggling with a sticky 5 kg Not asking for a friend. I have a sticky 10 kg but I am more worried that with this diet I will end up trying to stay with the racing snakes to smell their arses.

(we are in week three) but he also has to lose weight to help with the arthritis..he has lost a few kgs since the diagnosis..we now have him on Hills low calorie joint and whatever food.. Vet weighed him today and he is 23kg..the target is 18kg..vet wants him slender.. 5 to go...poor thing we also can't exercise him too much cause he needs a lot of rest to help with the pain that flairs up..and he so loves food.[emoji22] You think it will get me back to racing snake weight?

Gen Posted August 14, 2020 Share Gen try this, it changed my GSD life https://promixpets.com/products/jointq2020/Thx for that.. once Bruce has finished his course of meds the vets aid we'll assess him and look at a lifelong treatment so I will def ask him about that.. I'd prefer something like that then lifelong pain meds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranswurm Posted August 14, 2020 Share My father kept a few hives and supplied me with free honey for many years, but regrettably I did not learn the what and how of it from him. After many years he developed an allergy and then stopped doing it. My ex kept two hives in Fish Hoek.She took a course in Cape Town and had great success.All the kit and everything.

The Guy in Pink Posted August 16, 2020 Share You think it will get me back to racing snake weight? Do they have a golden years low calorie one ? Asking for a friend who is also struggling with a sticky 5 kg Our Marsie has nylon knee tendons and back problems so keeping her weight down is important . I decided that since a real food LCHF diet has been so good for me our two need to go the same way. So they get two eggs a day, meat and a bone, with only a cup of processed food. Both are slender with cold noses always. Marsie manages our 10km run/walks in the forest without any problem now.18 months ago she was distressed after a 5km Park run where we both did duty as the tail walker.

The Guy in Pink Posted August 23, 2020 Share 3 km into our run in Hanglip forest this morning with Marsie and Toffee we came across a spoor trail along the track we were running. This photo is only 1,5km from our house and 500m from the nearest houses in town.We have rather large Kittens in our forest.

Ok..I came across one once.. But there's enough duiker and small rodents in the forests to keep them happy and I'm sure there's a fair number in a big expanse of forestry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a leopard or big cat, and doubt it’s a cheetah. Here’s a leopard spoor, from Simonsberg.

Here’s a leopard spoor, from Simonsberg.It's far bigger than our dogs. Married is 35kg and much smaller. Being in loose sandy soil the image is not clear, but it is leopard. There are plenty on the mountain. The similarities to the attached are marked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guy in Pink Posted August 23, 2020 Share We have a standard Newby iniatition for their first night ride on our mountain. On the darkest part of the forest we say to the Newby we will wait for him at the top of this climb. If he hears a noise in the bush not to worry it is maybe a porkupine or kudu, but if there is no noise at all - it is a leopard. . . . Most newbies are never dropped on the climb.
