Have you considered trying to get your hands on an IR trail cam? It would tell you exactly what and when is creeping around your dwindling hens. ATB

The coat and skin are healthy...not dry at all. Her feet were a different story....

The bag balm is the best thing yet...she's moving like a pup again when we're out. Showing no signs of discomfort at all. Still a little pink but the scabs and cracks have almost completely gone.

Dog's in the house but wood or tile floors only. Carpet doesn't stay clean long with our 2 terriers in the house. lol.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. The bag balm has really worked wonders in the very short time using it. The scabs are falling away and the dry spots are looking well moisturized (and not from olay Paul 7, lol) so far. I realize it's only been a day or 2 but the I'm very pleased with the results so far. The toughest part is stopping her and him from licking it off. Skycat - their diet consist of a high quality grain free kibble, venison, fish occasionally, lean scraps of meat/veggies and whatever else they eat when I'm not watching. their kibble contains zinc proteinate and zinc sulfate...

My little terrier bitch has a problem with cracks and scabs in all the creases of her pads particularily in the toe folds. Her feet seem terribly dry as well. Has anyone ever encountered this issue and how did you remedy it? My vet doesn't have a clue...I bought medicated bag balm and am going to give it a go. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

you got some great pups there terrierman , if you got 2 pups that can kill any size g-hog ,not get dirty in the process ? no blood or wounds on them or the hog, is that a 17 bullet hole in the chest ?????????? Lol...no that's not a 17 wound in it's chest. They didn't work this hog underground, rather caught him away from it's burrow. The little white dog took 2 nips but the male's a natural. She's better on smaller rodents and he'll tackle almost anything. I have a video of them dispatching this hog....she'll back off twice when she's nipped. I dubbed music over the actual sounds of the t

Not quite at their peak but here's a pic of my two with their second groundhog. Just a young one and so are they...not quite a year of age in this pic. They'll be 10 yrs next month and still going strong as ever.

I have a 95K .22 and a 77 .22 and they're both fine rifles. The 95 has a Vortek kit is putting out 16-17 ft lbs with FTT, and the 77 with a JM kit doing the same give or take a ft lb. Both amazingly accurate and don't think I could part with either. I don't think you can make a wrong choice on this one bud.

Great story and pics. An absolutely beautiful dog too!

I owned a 54 (pre RWS) for a while in .177 and sold it in 09 and really wish I hadn't. Everytime I think of it I could kick myself in the rear then bury my head in the sand. I've had my eye open for another for a while with no luck. I agree, they're definately a great gun.

Thanks Simon, I've decided to pass and wait for another...preferably in .25. This one has apparently been tuned and upon viewing the paperwork it was shooting CP's 14.3 at and average of 795 +/- 15 fps. I think it might have been a bit of a slowpoke from the beginning. I considered buying it and replacing the spring, and seal but then then opted not to. I don't need any additional gun related projects at this time. lol. Cheers. Chris

Has anyone chronied one of these lovely beasts? I have the opportunity to buy one that's spitting out 14.3 gr pellets at 810fps +/- 2 fps according to the sellers paperwork. Does that sound right or does it seem a little low to you guys? Thanks.

Great read. I'm glad you gave him a chance. Cheers to you.

Really great post. I've been shooting air rifles from the time I was 10 years old and my fav has always been a springer. I've owned many different types but the springer is the only one I'll own now. There are definately some beautiful looking and shooting PCP's though. I was always a Diana guy. I had and sold many, but after my first Weihrauch the Diana rifles just seem kinda junky to me now. If I had to pick a fav Diana now, it would probably be the good old 34 in .22 and wooden stock (older version). I now own a HW80K and an HW90 and I'll never part with either of them. I would like
