I got a good giggle out of the guys at gun club on Sunday. They were singing the praises of Australian Cattle Dogs and I'd said nothing. They said "Don't you like Australian Cattle Dogs?" I said "No way would I have a dog that's smarter than I am."

LOL......so true. :p

A while back I asked about supplements for the border collie. After some hard running, I had noticed that she was having a hard time getting up. Front end not the back.

I had tried a few different types of supplements and seemed to have a hard time finding the same ones twice and they were very expensive from the vet or pet food store.

I had picked this stuff up from Costco in Canada.

Cosequin Canine DS Maximum Strength Plus MSM

I wanted to see if she would eat these willingly before buying in. Doing two a day for the first while and will be watching for improvement.
She does seem to like them and calling them a treat probably doesn't hurt.

Will probably grab another container. Right now they are $54 including shipping from Costco.ca online and not available in the warehouse.

Here is my girl...http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1581786484.jpg

She is a beauty.

She has been the best dog a guy could ask for.
Hard working, eager to please, easy to train (as a matter of fact, I thing she trained me rather that the opposite...), sensitive.
When my dad had passed, Pepper knew I was upset and crawled into my lap to comfort me. Something she never would normally do. When my son is upset, she will go lay at his feet.
I had contacted the woman I had purchased her from as a puppy and she is not breeding any dogs at the moment.
Not sure if she would be happy with another dog in the house but I am thinking of another when I have my sabbatical year.

When I got my first dog put her in a small bathroom lined with newspaper while i was at work. The rest of the time i had her on a six foot leash. That made her a dog that stayed right by my side, did everything she was told, learned very fast, and always looked to me to okay doing anything including accepting treats from others. She was as well behaved and trained as any service dog for the blind I have ever seen.

How is she doing on the Cosequin? My friends used to give it to their Great Danes and the dogs were more mobile.

sc_rufctr,
I post here VERY infrequently but that video touched me hard and I have to log on just to say thank you!!! That video brought a tear to my eyes... seriously, it did. I am still choked up over that video.

Since I do not want to just post a very appreciative comment, here is a very recent picture of my baby on the right, Gravelee (like the lawn tractor just spelled differently), and her new friend Roscoe (our neighbor's recently acquired companion). I love my little girl and her loyalty and love to us is nothing short of extraordinary.

You're welcome Daryl. I felt the same way.

Poor little dog is just about coming out of its skin to get to get to his/her human. Very touching.

Hey Bryan,
It has been about two weeks since I had started Peps on the Cosequin and I think I am seeing an improvement on her movement. The package says two a day for her weight for 4? weeks then back off to one a day for maintenance.

One thing I was worried about was how it would affect her guts but she seems to tolerated them well. She does love them though! They must taste great.
