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 🤣

I sold my mare last year and - despite missing the routine and daily horsey fix - I’m so glad I did it. Prices of everything shooting up, there always being some compromise on a livery yard, other horsey people being mentalists, never quite knowing whether you can trust your professionals… the...

I really rate Canagan. My fussy one eats it reliably, it’s fine for his sensitive tummy, and it’s the only food my lurcher has been on that ensures she has healthy, non-sloppy poos.

Aw I’m sorry to hear about Eira 🫂

Are you on Facebook? There’s a “sight hounds and high prey drive” training group - I don’t have Facebook any more so can’t link to it sorry. Lots of free resources on there that might help you though. If my maths is right he’s about 9 months old? He’s a high energy adolescent. He will come...

I saw this and honestly it just made me so glad I’m out of horses now. Nothing surprises me any more; it still breaks my heart though.

If you do send him to retirement livery, just make sure you’re able to visit to check him regularly, and preferably unannounced.

My cleaner told me this week that her on-lead dog got attacked by an off-lead dog (which has attacked multiple dogs before), and the owner screamed at her and said it was her own fault for having her dog on the lead 🤯🤯🤯 dog has a puncture wound and was very withdrawn for a week or so after it...

Passed a woman with a beagle on a lane today. Mine were in a heel as we passed, beagle lunged across the lead at end of lead barking at them. She said “ooh what’s that about” and other things the dog wouldn’t understand. Fairly sure I’ve passed her before, somewhere else, and it did the same...

My mum’s dog got an abscess following her yearly booster - think it happened two years in a row actually. Looked just like that. Can’t actually remember what happened/what treatment it needed, was def a vet job though.

Always wanted a Dobermann, knew I couldn’t give one the time or environment it would likely need, discovered Manchester terriers, had terriers in the family before (and swore I’d never have one 🤔), decided on a Manchester terrier. Absolutely love the breed. Seem to have a “type” - short coated...

“Should have got a lab” is what I mutter to myself constantly 😂 clearly just a glutton for punishment aren’t I!

Me 😭 lurcher bogged off after a deer and was MIA for half an hour. She had been absolutely perfect up until then. I’ve done all the right things, built up gradually, from extending lead when I first got her, to long line, to off lead in certain places only (starting with enclosed field) - she...
