    Foot scraping/occasional door kicking

    Fair enough re the squirty thing as I'm not sure I like the idea of it but I would try the rubber matting along with ignoring!

    Foot scraping/occasional door kicking

    My horse used to do this really badly too - it used to annoy other people on the yard who I'm sure would tell him off when I wasnt there which probably reinforced it. In his case he was definitely doing it for attention or food. When I moved yard to one with rubber matting in the stables it...

    Anyone else injured at the moment?

    Hi Chottsy, Really, that's very different to what my consultant told re movement of the ankle! However, he did perform a funky technique called the 'Birmingham Ankle Ligament Reconstruction' which I got the impression was quite new. He basically cut the joint capsule horizontally then...

    Anyone else injured at the moment?

    How strangely comforting to find out about other injured types! Seems like there is a lot of pain going on out there! I am just entering week three of my recovery after an ankle ligament reconstruction. I'm mostly struggling with boredom - something I've rarely suffered from before. I'm out...

    Dog wee smell in the garden help!

    Hello! We use a product called Odestroy which removes odours and is antibacterial. It smells a bit sickly but it does work. However, I don't know how it will work on grass and whether it might kill your grass off! Works great on our concrete yard though! Good luck!

    Bakers dog food facts!!

    Unfortunately, it has all kicked off now since I gave them some facts re Bakers. Comments like 'Oh my god you're talking such cr&p, I've been feeding my dogs Bakers for years with no ill effects. Surely the vets would have commented if he'd have noticed something wrong during his last check up...

    Bakers dog food facts!!

    Thanks CT! Was hoping you would reply. They can't understand why their puppy trainer told them off for feeding it. Their argument was that if their dog likes it there is no reason to change it. Strange reaction in my opinion, if someone told me I was feeding my dog something dodgy I would do...

    Bakers dog food facts!!

    I can't find the thread where Bakers dog food is discussed at length. Some friends are asking me why Bakers is bad and I just want to know that I've got mg facts right!! Have already pointed them towards the dry dog food index. Help please!£

    Didn't expect that to happen....

    I have another update but I'm afraid it's not the good news I would like to be giving. His owner sent us some pics and a video yesterday and my partner and I had a long chat last night. He admitted that he was only agreeing to have him for me and that he wasn't actually that keen. Really gutted...

    Didn't expect that to happen....

    Update! Got through to the owner of Buddy and we had a long chat. Turns out she has been working long hours and not checking her answerphone. Buddy sounds lovely but I just need to work out whether he would fit into our lives and whether he and our dog would get on. He's been neutered...

    Didn't expect that to happen....

    That's exactly what I was thinking when I called again for about the zillionth time tonight. Weird situation. Who posts an advertisement to rehome their dog and then refuses to answer their phone ?? I'm sure there is a good explanation but I can't help feeling a bit frustrated. I've left a...

    Didn't expect that to happen....

    Still no answer on the phone. The mobile number given doesn't even work. I've left a couple of messages so can't really do much else other than hope she calls back. Quite sad really, just want to make sure he's ok. Been unite productive while trying to take my mind off him so maybe that's a...

    Didn't expect that to happen....

    Good advice Broodle! We will definitely do that if we ever manage to get through to them!!

    Didn't expect that to happen....

    No!! Have rung quite a few (!!) times and no answer. She's either working or has already rehomed him. Although if it was me I'd have maderised available to take calls from interested people. Strange. If he is still available we've hatched a plan to stay at a friends house so we don't have to do...
