Tam &Toby do Europe ...Take two

Dogs eat grass with the purpose of making themselves sick, they instinctively know to do this, when mine eat grass they are almost immediately sick.
I would question whether their "stringy poo" was linked to their having eaten grass- unless an earlier attempt to induce vomiting had failed?
That too could be "a thought for the day ".

That's apparently a false belief...I read they eat grass and leaves at times as it has nutrients they feel they need , jade has always eaten grass but has rarely been sick.

Only had stringy poo a few times though

 

[Northernraider]

I’m glad I’ve finished my lunch????

Did you want some grass ?

 

[Northernraider]

My knowledge of the area is zero!
Is there a large shopping centre? - if so it wI'll be airconditioned you, complete with dogs,and water supply and a good book might be able to hang out there for the day?

Can you take dogs in shopping centres?

I'm not sure what's about to be honest

So relieved to hear the fishhook has appeared. And the vets bills really reasonable compared to the UK.
Go somewhere rural to recover, there are nice places that aren't by the sea you know.

I understood, no doubt read, at some point in the past, that a dog's stomach couldn't deal with the chlorophyll (The stuff that makes plants green).
My stomach must have been similar as a child, having pigged out on the"new" mint flavoured Instant Whip,which I recall it being lurid green, I was thoroughly sick.
For many years after the sight of green coloured food, or the taste of mint toothpaste (or was it the chlorine content ) would make me feel ill.
I have since struggled for many years to master this problem. But am happy to report that I am now able to consume large quantities of 'after eight' mints at a sitting, but this has taken years of determination and dedication.

Not with a head the size of milos lol he couldn't reach anything with that cone on lol .

Don't underestimate him, he could use it as a scoop or a shovel lol

 

[Janine]

I think that I would invest in a couple of muzzles to stop them foraging for ‘food’, Tam.

 

[pagey]

stomach acid is very strong..thinking about it if you had a cork and placed this in a certain position for a couple of days the hook would have dissolved thats a win win and that will be 91 euro please

 

[Northernraider]

I thought of that and Sharon from the refuge I adopted them from suggested that too , but Google says you shouldn't use muzzles for that...And it also gives people the wrong idea about the dog etc

I'm at a loss what's for the best as everytime they are out they are foraging it's their favourite pastime , treats , sticks balls etc do nothing to distract them

 

[scousebird]

OMG Tam you have had a sh1t day

Theres a spaniel I sometimes meet on my dog walks who has a muzzle and being nosey I enquired why. His was to stop him eating things not biting people, apparently would even eat dog poo.

 

[Burgo]

Every cloud has a silver lining - I suspect Tam has stopped biting his finger nails now as well.

So what a bloody morning I've had , first had to poke round poo to find hook, we then popped in to vet to tell them I had got it and she gave him a once over to make sure ok, we then left and jade decided to stop in the middle of the road and do a poo ....I bent down to pick it up and my raybans fell off in to the poo . So I had to put them in a poo bag till we got back to the van , stopped to fill up water tank as I ran out of water last night then headed to armaceo de pero as there's a pingo dolce with motorhome spaces .....get there and 4 out of 5 spaces filled with cars a van and a jet2 holidays bus .....so pingo dolce you lost approx €40 from me.

I then headed out to albufera and coming round a round About this idiot cut his lane and hit my van
View attachment 326966

He just kept driving and I had to keep blasting the horn to get him to stop , he staggered up to my window waving arms saying what what , I said you hit my van and there's no way you didn't feel it ....he says no speak English, I got out and basically he's hit the near side wheel arch that was already damaged but he's completely knackered it now...he kept patting my shoulder and trying to shake my hand saying it's ok it's ok and making signals as of to say it's no problem forget it , his wife then gets out and starts telling him to come in the car....which he did and drove off leaving me standing there I'm pretty sure he was drunk.

The arch was already visibly damaged so not sure it's worth pursuing it but I'm really pissed off at his attitude ...


So I'm now back in albufera

Lucky white heather
Absolutely Nae luck Big Fella

Milo is finally off the hook.....

I nearly vomitted .......that was ridiculously smelly but good tip on the bag and water Val that was easier than the other option

Good news mate, the smells a bit strong I can smell it here in Germany.

 

[The Dudess]

Oh dear! If it wasn't for bad luck you'd have no luck.

 

[Val 3 dogs]

Cheer up, it is said everything comes in threes, so you'very had Milo and his Hook, the prang with Toby and now the 'mishap ' with your sunglasses!
You should be good for a while now.

 

[Lenny HB]

Something fishy with this storey does anyone really believe a tight arsed Scottsman would have a pair of Rayburn's.

 

[Reallyretired]

Us shortsighted types have to get our sunglasses from specsavers. No Raybans for us.

He said Raybans. Rayburns are what you would wear if you really were a tight arsed Scotsman. Finished off with a nice pair of 4 stripe Adidas trainers.

Ah but I think this particular "tight arsed Scotsman" places a whole lot of credence on appearing young and cool . He probably thinks /hopes the right shades? will help draw the lasses.
Oops, need to revert to plan B or is it nearer plan Y now? Last year must have been beginners luck!

I've got Timberland varifocals (from Specsavers).
Don't seem to help pulling the birds.

 

[nicholsong]

When I was in BA we were issued free with Raybans.

They were vey effective when flying over cloud with the sun reflecting off the top, because one's long eyelashes protect eyes from above but the short ones are not so effective below.

They also are effective with glare off the sea when sailing.

I cannot guarantee all marketed as 'Rayban' now are to the same standard.

He 'pulled' one bitch and one dog.

Lucky?

 

[Val 3 dogs]

I think it was actually two ladies and one bitch, don't let's use derogatory terminology.
