G'day Jan, I just happen to be a fellow aussie. Do hope your dogs gonna be ok. Believe me, I know what its like, i've an 18 year old healer kelpie cross thats getting very frail in her old age. Its getting to that time and I aint looking forward to it, we humans become very attached to our pets.:) The first comment was just my warped sense of humour, apologises if it offended
