sorry I haven't been on for a while but this is the first relatively cool day I have had for a week (I saw relatively as it is still 28 degrees). Got up to 40 on Saturday... it is fricking mental hot over here.... we have 3 days next week of low 20's and then it is back up to over 30 degrees. I got burnt sitting in the shade it was that hot!!!
OMG.. that is amazing... I would never be able to do anything like that and I am always in awe of those who can
OMG I wouldn't be able to cope with that heat! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/s...shocked031.gifQuote:

We had the heatwave a week ago Siobhan, the heat was excruciating so I truly sympathise. And with the humidity too, it was a nightmare.
Thankfully it`s cooled down to a more comfortable range now. For the last 10 days it`s rained every day, and according to the weather we got another 10 days of it.
We`ll need an ark soon if this rain keeps up.
:thumbsdow
Heatwave here too, regularly around 44C and mid 20s during the night, luckily I have ventilator function on my air con, which makes it more comfortable but without getting sick from the air con :D Had to have my dog´s fur cut very short a few weeks ago as they were suffering quite badly :(
I'm a misery where the weather's concerned. I'd prefer rain to heat any day. I really don't understand how you lot can cope with such heat (even with air conditioning)! http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...sed-140297.gif
I hope your dogs are more comfortable now Perdy. :)
They are fine indoors but tend to sleep a lot, I have to drag them out a couple of times a day for about 50 metres to a small patch of grass so they can relieve themselves and then they can´t wait to get back home again ... one good thing is that I don´t have to cook as all I fancy to eat is salads :D
At least you don't have to give them long walks in that heat!Quote:

Yes, they are more comfortable although I did not like the look too much when I first saw them but they look like puppies again with short hair around their faces and ears :D:heart:

Yeah that is all we have been eating here over the past week is salads.. we had a bbq but at 9 at night when it was in the low 30s.. sleeping has been a nightmare..Glad your dogs are coping cause I am certainly not.. Been Irish, if it is over 25 degrees and not raining it is a hell of a summerQuote:

He said it could be due to my feet swelling in the heat cause pressure on my knee. As anyone had knee pain with no obvious reason and how did you fix it?
it sounds weight bearing related? but I'm not a doctorQuote:

Not yet but he took lots of blood for testing and all came back normal. Had a nervous system test and that was also negative. I will see how it goes over the weekend and visit him again on Monday if it hasn't gone away... also will try to lose weight and see it that helpsQuote:

Determined to not neglect his teeth any further I've been forcing him to have them brushed recently (along with copious amounts of doggy treats). Guess what I discovered a few days ago? The vet had missed a loose tooth right at the back of his mouth! :wall: I was fuming about it because my poor little dog is bundle of nerves and it's traumatic for the him to be left at the vet for the day. It was sorted today (no charge) but my poor Kite is feeling really sorry for himself again tonight. :(
Here's a pic of him (from a few months ago):-

He is a cutie and I can appreciate your anger at the vet missing a tooth and needing to take him back :( So glad all is sorted now though :)
I had a knee problem once and i had just pulled a ligament which is common around the knee area. It sorted itself out. But i was in agony and could'nt go up and down stairs properly. Even bought a shower seat which is firmly in the shed now.
Hope your dog did'nt have to stay another night for the one tooth they missed out.
Getting ready for work. Its going to be gridlock out there today because of tube strike. The centre i work in opens at half eight but i will be outside it at 7. Taking no chances. I will take a flask of tea!

You've reminded me I did something very similar a few years ago. I bent over and twisted and felt something tear in my knee. I was in absolute agony like you but it did heal without any intervention (I think it took a few months to heal completely). I've since found out that the bending and twisting motion can cause a very common knee injury.Quote:

No he was only in for a few hours but he had to have another general anaesthetic, which I was very unhappy about. He's also got very bad separation anxiety (I'm his third owner because the others couldn't cope with him) so it was a major trauma for him. Hopefully we won't have to step foot in the vet's again for a few years!Quote:

Congrats Kim on your milestone anniversary.
I had no idea SoapBoards was going this long. Although saying that - great websites never go out of style do they. It`s a top notch site - especially for the spoilers. None better.

For the first time ever I won a competition.. I entered Allianz safety competition just writing a few words on what reminds me to put my seatbelt on and they came back saying to contact them and confirm I am a runner up. I seen 4 others with same message but I haven't seen the winner one yet.. Maybe we are shortlisted for the big prize. 1st prize is a signed Lewis Hamilton seat belt from his F1 car.. runner up gets a Mercedes F1 bag signed by Lewis Hamilton.. either way I am super happy
