Okay here is my kpo input.

1. Frontline heartguard can combine into just applying revolution (this one is available at our shop and at the vets, it's a 2 in one)

2. Landed as you mentioned, sleeping arrangements ver important. Best if got helper.

3. Children must see how old cos some really take the dog as horsy rather than as house pet. So the children you have to assess

4. Best if they got journal, you can read updates from there!

5. Encourage them to give her salmon steaks once a while, and give lipiderm as supplement. It helps minimize the shedding too.

6. Retired eldery also good cos they got time to look after her. Plenty.

7. Your comfort level with the new people. V important. Maybe one day u go dog run meet and assess them with amy around amy around other dogs.

thanks, Lish!! i will take those into consideration :) i did not know that they have a 2-in-1 product now!! so much easier!!

Yea very much easier! Somore Revo no need to take xray don't have to worry abt mozzie bite if you forgot to give a dose.

what do you mean the need to take xray? i know before the vet starts the dogs on heartworm prevention thing, they do a blood test to make sure the dogs do not already have heartworm before starting them on the tablets...is that what you mean?

Screen through and trust your judgement. House visits a MUST for the next one/two years.

And do what most of my rehomed dogs do. One of the conditions listed is to still bring them to me for grooming, and I'll post the updates to the previous owners. In this case, you might wanna get CL to continue to help that little bit..

amy missed you and your grooming touch :) you are way too far away from us now!!! how is your business? saw photos of the dogs you groomed, they are beautiful!! thanks for your advise!!

You don't hai her leh ask CL to help... CL still telling people that Mark is the previous groomer and that PZ closed down.

One of my customers SOOOOO ANGRY!!! She actually went to the website to look for our addie. I told her to look for u but she say too far, so i recc her to augustine instead lor.

jinsiew02 May 10 2006, 14:54:19 UTC

yah...i agree with that customer...uncle Marky is just toooooooo far!!! every time i mentioned the location to ming, he could only think of the distant and the traffic...haha...

i will love to house visit her for next one/two years too or even longer...if the new family dun mind...but wouldn't they feel like we are invading their privacy and not letting the dogs move on? dun want to push too much...but no harm just asking...hehe...and hoping :p
