Out of interest is there a limit advised as to how late a spay abort can be performed? There is a similar situation in a local well meaning rescue. They took on a brother/sister Japanese Akita and found out the bitch was pregnant. they now have 5/6 inbred puppies to attempt to rehome. they are...

Pistachio is the best person in my team and I'm not feeling much like last night Candidly

is a doggy sitter a possibility if you can't get a companion for her? I've never used it but there is a service like Borrow my Doggy?

You can also get ivermectin spot ons for them (just make sure you don't eat the eggs for a week afterwards)

I like the idea of a riding buddy - would have to be local and I'm only just getting to know the local riding community after moving here a few years ago. As the grass is getting better then I think I should be getting the ponies moving more. I'm not worries about what they think. They don't...

Its gorgeous weather outside, longer evenings and everyone I know is out and about. But I still haven't found my riding mojo this year. I have 2 cobs at home who are doing sterling service at their primary role as lawnmowers and helping to manage the land. Last year I was on board as soon as...

I didnt either. Thought it was just variants on brown. I met some black and tan borders recently too and hadnt heard of them.

Came from a multi dog household. 5 other dogs and they were picking on her so she ended up in rescue. Been working quite hard on her meeting other dogs in a nice manner. Shes come on miles since she first arrived but still quite reactive with big dogs.

I know - I was quite surprised. I did a Google image search on her after meeting a lady was telling me on my walk today that she looked like a breed but she couldn't remember what it was.

Yup just added them - I tried to add them form my phone rather than the laptop and it kept rejecting them

I'm always being asked what type of terrier my rescue girlie is. I've always thought yorkie mix and it matters not one jot to me one way or the other. But I was struck by her resemblance to a Norfolk terrier I saw online. Am I just imagining it?

Haha - yeah I came across them about 3 years ago. Certain breeds have different fluff when they hatch so you can tell the boys from the girls. In Legbars the girls have a stripe on their heads and the boys have a lighter fluff with a creamy dot (Google photo!)

I know that there are some pretty good people on here regarding the genetics of our furred and feathered critters. I have cream legbar hens and lost my cockerel to a polecat last year. I have his son (crossed with a buff sussex) and was thinking of putting him with the other hens (they are...

I've managed to pretty much give myself a nosebleed on a couple of occasions!

I'm in Pembrokeshire and not working for the rest of the week. Was planning a 'nice ride as well' on Monday but the river is so high now after the rain (I have to go across it if I don't want to go on the main road) and the ground is so soft that the ponies are in and I'm cwtched up by the log fire.
