Unfortunately, the "spurs" which hold the disc in place are barely existent anymore, so the disc has nothing to hold it in place - which is why it is slipping sideways. Visiting a chiropractor won't help, I'm afraid.

I think people take them on without realising they're highly intelligent, energetic and need "a job". So if you decide to get another one, RSE Animal Welfare will be glad to help. And I'm sure there is plenty of work on your farm for a dog to do. possumqueensahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04456571934916321686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375887793985280500.post-20641529035451827112016-02-15T10:58:58.660+02:002016-02-15T10:58:58.660+02:00Hi there!

Our crates come in 3 sizes, but the one we like, cost R60 ea. Still money well spent! We use cardbox, newsprint, grass bales and compost to fill ours. And I must say, the veg grow fantastic in them. Oh, I also water from our tank and give them worm tea.
