I think sometimes they get to a certain age and you have to accept and love their little idiosyncracies. Quadi's a real foodie, I don't know why it never occured to me to feed him during jabs! Sounds like Polo's very accepting of the whole process now :)<br /><br />And bless Ali, what a star, he is definitely one of my favourites!Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592262722327714846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752384134289600842.post-21147660477868734172010-08-11T15:39:52.141+01:002010-08-11T15:39:52.141+01:00Good news!

Apart from one emergency, he's always in for routine checks so I'm pretty calm. It's the vet's vibes, he seems more at ease with the friendlier animals. Don't suppose I blame him!<br /><br />As for Quadi, yes, I'm probably a big factor but with each vet visit we're both getting better *lol* I always recognise it though and on occassion will hand the leadrope to someone else and walk away. Will have to try and clear out my mind of all the whirring thoughts for next time!Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592262722327714846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752384134289600842.post-21438521158703153722010-08-10T20:50:06.375+01:002010-08-10T20:50:06.375+01:00Good Quadi!

Think positive and send, "This is no big deal" messages to the animals to reassure them. Right now, you are expecting the worst and they are responding as such. We can tell our animals a lot more than we realize. <br /><br />Hope everything continues to improve on the health front, though. Sounds promising.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752384134289600842.post-50675540379949628462010-08-10T19:31:01.274+01:002010-08-10T19:31:01.274+01:00ah, animals and vets! have to say, i've been ...ah, animals and vets! have to say, i've been lucky that way, but it is luck not judgement!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02888698683201580237noreply@blogger.com
