    Next breed of dog……

    Don't get a greyhound puppy they can be a nightmare, I'd for a failed younger racer with no chase and then you're less likely to get one that wants to chase terriers lol! or a whippet, more of a fan of sighthounds than terriers (had both).

    Man dragging slow old dog along, should I have spoken up?

    I would have gone and petted the dog and then started a conversation about the dog if you could and ask a bit about it then maybe mention he looked to be struggling a little

    Trying to put weight on a poor do-er over winter?!

    linseed oil V micronised-calories

    I switched to Omega Rice from micronised linseed - horse can be fussy and doesn't like overly wet feeds (was dampening it down), now wolfs it down and hold weight much better, I did speak to Omega about it and they said more calories in the omega rice than straight linseed (micronised), if that...

    Silly question re Butcher shops

    My local butcher did before he retired, also ended up with a bag of goodies for the dog too! You can also buy raw frozen bones from most pet shops that often stock raw food or the bigger ones
