We recently had a 2 day break at Tarra Valley, and stayed at the Best Friend Holiday Retreat. It was magic.
Here are some of the things Nikki, Robyn and I liked about it:
- It was fantastic to be able to take our dog, Nikki, with us on holidays for the first time.
- The six off-leash areas were not just flat paddocks, so Nikki was able to get exercise running up and down slopes.
There was even a selection of dog toys at the entrance of each of the off-leash areas.
- A place so quiet that you can hear the bird life though-out the whole day. It was an experience to wake up to bird calls, not having heard them for over 20 years. Nikki was puzzled by the sounds, because she’s a city dog.

Weimaraners can suffer from bloat. Bloat occurs because Weimaraners like Nikki try to stuff as much food down their throats, as quickly as possible.
And their stomachs swell up with gas. Bloat can be a fatal condition for dogs. So it’s a good idea to avoid it.
I’ve always been worried about Nikki [...]
Nikki is back from surgery to remove the rest of the mast cell tumours, and has been sleeping most of the day. The Vet said that she didn’t react well to the anaesthetic, and needed a tranquilizer to settle her down.

that Nikki the Weimaraner only has Grade 1 Mast Cell Tumours.
I noticed one when I took her to the Vet to get her yearly vaccinations. And the vet had a look, and after some wallet lightening, we decided that we needed to confirm the severity of the tumours; one way or another.

It’s a cliché, but the world’s best Vizsla passed away in my arms today.
Super Vizsla didn’t have an easy life, having had sarcoptic mange as a young dog, then a thyroid condition, and finally arthritis in his old age.
Vadar rekindled my love of dogs, and I’ll miss him terribly.

One of our dogs is wearing out, due to old age.
He’s 14.
He’s developed a bit of a cough, so he’s been off to the vet.
First, the vet thought “enlarged heart, let’s get an x-ray”.
X-ray came back, no, heart looks normal, but “we’ll try him on some heart medicine in [...]
Beautiful Sunday morning, out with the dogs. The old male Vizsla is slowing down in his old age. Tremendous heart, wants to keep trying to walk along side us.
Used to be that he’d wait for the Wonder Weimaraner and myself to catch up. Now we wait for him.
Which I don’t mind. [...]
