I would be inclined to agree with you, but I’m also conscious of it not being my dog - I can suggest, but can’t make all the decisions on my own. Our homes are currently about an hour apart, so it’s not exactly handy. However, I do think I have the best solution in mind, but again it’s not all...

Thank you all for your input, and especially your candour! It’s all confirming what I had been thinking, if I’m honest. My partner has lived alone before for a few years, at which point the JR had moved out to live with him and to be an only dog. When I asked, he said that the JR is his, and...

I’m pondering aloud here, but all suggestions, advice and anecdotes welcome. My partner and I would like to live together within the next 6 months - he currently lives at his parents with his 7 year old Jack Russell bitch, and his family’s 3 other mixed terriers, and I own a small 1 bed...

I order mine online from Omlet as I’ve not found a local supplier. A 20kg bag is under £20, and lasts ages!

I use Aubiose in my rabbit’s litter tray which works well, and he’s a monster who prefers to sleep in his hay.

The Ruffwear web master or flagline harness - one with 3 straps on - to tighten the back strap around the flank.

Charity is legit, they’ve a registration number and are long standing. Not sure of the conversations between parties around the illness, but I know my friend was already annoyed that they hadn’t been advertising the dog for adoption yet, when theirs was only meant to be a temporary roof. I see...

Yeah it’s a registered charity, so I do assume that the vet costs and things are covered, but I’m just not sure where the physical responsibility of a foster home extends to. Like, how sick of a dog are you expected to look after?

Thank you Mrs J, that had been my thoughts too. Not sure who is paying for the food & treatments, but at the end of the day it’s my friends who are transporting and giving their time to the appointments, say nothing of multiple garden trips during the night. It must be difficult to have grown...

Not quite sure what to title this, but looking for some input from other more experienced owners. After losing their own greyhound, my pals signed up to foster ex-racers. They got a last minute call for a dog who had been let down for a home, and needed temporary housing - they were told 1...

I had almost forgotten, but a bloke DID enter my back garden once! Saw a flash of fluorescent yellow go past the kitchen window, and some person was on their way out - they’d come in down the back alley, reached through the 6ft gate, unbolted the gate, and walked across my garden, to look at...

The man ‘walking’ 2 Jack Russell’s on the pavement beside a busy read, in a busy town. Neither had collars let alone leads, and he was so far ahead that he didn’t see or care about them crapping everywhere behind him.

Very true. When my lad was in rehab from his TPLO, we had to WALK. His natural gait was a diagonal trot, since he had little Jack Russell legs, so to keep him at a proper 4-beat walk was a snails pace for me, and hard work for him - good for rebuilding muscle. We also did the filming for the...

You did the best that you could! We have about half a dozen lost pets fb pages, some very well-staffed, so I would send messages to all of those.

That’s wild! I think in might’ve reported that to the police - you’re just right that 1 wrong move by anyone could’ve gone horribly wrong, surely that would class as dangerous driving.
