02 Dec 2013 Getting warm for Honeybun


A bit warm today...Fan, Wet cloth, is time!








26 November 2013 Enjoy a day at the beach with Honeybun :)

After a walk on the beach, is time for a break and some afternoon tea.... So many dogs, Honeybun is really good today (partly due to the heat, he can't be bother to care hehehe) 


26 November 2013 Picked up Kayak today, such beautiful day....


Came to Altona to pick up Kayak, of course we have to enough this beautiful day by having a nice lunch here.....


22 November 2013 Received some new bibs for Honeybun

Received the bibs from I need hugs, they are so beautiful, haven't tried them on Honeybun yet, he is exhausted from all the tests today, sleep like a little baby (not so little ). 
Will try them on tomorrow when he feels more awake!!!
 

Got one for Lukey (Honeybun's grandpa) too :)



21 November 2013 Honeybun is not well, my poor baby :(

Spent really long time with the vet today trying to find out what's the best way to fix Honeybun's conditions.
 

Did a scrape tape test, he has very very high level of yeast, pollen and Bacteria on his skin.
Ears checked and clearly he has infection.
 

We really need to find out exactly what he is allergic to so we can stop him having these nasty rashes and infections all the time.
The vet recommended the Idexx Allergy Elias which cover 48 allergens. 

And allergen blood test which covers the food side. Just these 2 tests cost a bit over $1000.  The total bill so far costed me $1836.
 

This is part of the reason why you need money if you want a dog, especially a Newfoundland.
The vet said once the test results comes back in about a month, we will know what to do to treat whatever he is allergic to, the professor will provide solution if there is one.

Lucky we brought insurance, it covers $1500 of this bill.

Looks like I got to reduce my shopping and eat less now .
  

It is going to take a month to know the results, now I have to stop all sugar, carbohydrate and dairy related food, just in case if he is allergic to yeast or dairy!


10 November 2013 Got our Newfoundland Chairs...Love them

Thanks to my friend in NSW, she helped me brought down these beautiful chairs, couldn't get them without her help!!!
