All of the above plus..... I have a 6 seater leather sofa yet I still sometimes end up sitting on the floor..... It's p....ing down with rain, we are all soaked to the skin after our walk but the dogs get first go of the warm fluffy towel..... I can be sat watching TV and be gasping for...

As kids our family had dogs with surnames AND middle names ie Dougal Aldermarston Paterson and Paddy McGillycuddy O'reilly!

I changed to Alfie from Kemo ( I know it's not spelt the same but sounds the same as 'chemo'!) and to Dillon from something that I can't remember but it was one of those stupid- name all this months dogs beginning with a W- names. Pie was Pie when I got her, Lizzy and Jesse had no names and my...

I've been getting the Greek Animal Rescue newsletter for a while now and it's really grim reading. I think the difference over there is that strays are routinely poisoned or shot and left to die in agony, there's very little veterinary care available and even less animal welfare or rescue...

1316879409 seconds, and 1 attempt to find the Pit. YAY! And I don't even like them much. I think could be fooled by the chunky ones that have the cropped ears but why most people picked the Olde English Bulldog I've no idea as it's nothing like a Pit

Come the day of reckoning when I get my AK47 and cloak of invisibility(OK it's just a recurring dream) these 2 can go top of my list....and it's a loooong list. Yes I think the dogs have to be kept pending the court case as with the RSPCA. Dogs removed by them can't be rehomed unless the...

You've had a rough time on here so I hope you can let it go and just be with your baby and ignore people posting their suspicions when all you asked for was an idea of what to expect and how much it will cost. Unfortunately folks for some people cost does come in to the equation and for anyone...

I don't know the full details of Chloes complaint so luckily I can't get drawn into the the debate but you sound genuinely upset so I'm sure you're not just having an 'itchy' dog pts. whether to take the dog to the vet or have the vet come out depends on how the dog is at the vets. It makes...

I didn't know that but still think it could have been done cheaper and more spent on maybe a large plot of land for more rescue places or 10 more inspectors or a massive education programme. Lots have people have bad tales to tell but what the hell would we do without them! What happens to...

Sorry Smartie, didn't realise the stuff with your delightful sounding aunt was such a long time ago. She must have some sort of mental problem to work for the RSPCA and behave like that surely? It seems everyone has such bad tales to tell about the RSPCA but I've had nothing like that at all...

Sorry to 'preach' but reading your original post you say you watched your aunt beat a horse until it collapsed, repeatedly hit a horse in the stomach with spurs wrapped round her fist, saw on a horses mouth until it bled and punch a horse in the face, so by that I assumed you did nothing. If my...

Agree, it's how all animals in slaughter houses are killed, or stunned to then have their throats cut, so if it's good enough for them....... Of course we all like the idea of an animal slipping quietly off to sleep and personally I wouldn't have it any other way for my pets but faced with...

What would you do? Ignore it?

If a relative of mine was doing stuff like this I'd go to the ends of the earth to stop them and if all the above is really true then you are as guilty as she is for not doing anything about it!

My dogs names get lengthened rather than shortened when they're bad, a bit like my mum did when I was little So Liz becomes Elizabeth Lemonson Alf is Spiny Alf Dillon is never bad so he's my Colliewobble Pie is Weaselshmeasel or That Bloody Stinking Gypsy Dog! Jesse is just Jesse but...
