Aw I feel your pain 😂 with my lurcher about you cannot leave any kind of food unattended. Ever. I moved my air fryer into the utility room as it was cluttering up the kitchen and annoying me… she’s only figured out how to open it and lick any crumbs/grease off the inside 🙄 Definitely have the...

He’s fine now, thank goodness ❤️ Yes if it had been me I would have done, I’ve advised my mum to do the same now, she wasn’t aware. Maybe as it’s now nearly been killed the owners will take it more seriously… (but probably not, based on that tragic ending of the story TP posted 😢) He has...

2 in one day yesterday!! There’s a house near à field I walk my dogs across, they have two dogs and one keeps escaping. It hears dogs nearby and comes through the fence; it’s run up to my dogs before - it’s friendly thankfully, just excited. Owners fully aware yet continue to allow it to...

A yard I worked at had a young section D in on livery, to potentially be brought on and used in the riding school. Except he was a section D, a bit sharp and green as grass, and nobody really had enough time to put into him to bring him on. I absolutely fell in love with him - he was so...

My terrier howls in his sleep occasionally too! And I agree, very unnerving, especially waking up to it in the dead of night! My lurcher growls in her sleep sometimes. No idea what about, possibly dreaming of the terrier after a toy or bone? That’s the only time she lets out à very soft growl...

Bank Farm (Shropshire/Worcs border) used to do adult camp for mixed abilities, bring your own horse or hire one. Not sure if they still do, they definitely do some great experience days though: https://bankfarmequestrian.co.uk/

I think from memory I filled in the forms and sent to my vet, who then sent it across to insurance emporium with all the info from their end. But yeah best to check with the vets.

If you want to get REALLY cross and/or lose the will to live, read the comments on that article. Honestly, I'm beginning to think most people shouldn't actually be allowed to have pets!

My little rescue lurcher (we are her third family in her short life) made me very proud the other morning - we walk on a public footpath past a field that sometimes has loose dogs that like to come and bark at us through the fence. She now anticipates this and wants to go rushing over - and can...

I knew this thread wouldn’t disappoint when I saw the title 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I bought my old boy terrier à lovely cosy bed with a built in blanket (he has to be covered at all times!), thinking it would help him - and me, as he paws pathetically at his blanket and then just stares at me until I wrap him in it! (Manages to wrap himself up fine when I’m not around though...

I’d suspect KS personally. So common in ex racers. What makes me more suspicious is that he goes ok without a rider… the added weight of the rider can make the already-close spinous processes impinge more, causing pain. You’ve done the right thing booking the lameness work up, it’s horrible...

The wonder dust seemed to work for me! Worth a go, I’d say, especially if she’s getting antsy about messing with it now.

I think 15 is a grand old age. Better à week too soon than à day too late. I’m so sorry you’re facing this decision. I absolutely agree with your thoughts rhat you don’t want the end to wind up as an emergency vet visit scenario, which would be so much more traumatic for you all. Hope your...

🤢🤢🤢 One can only hope their dog threw it back up on their carpet when they got home 🤣
