    Just a little excited

    Don't put the dogs in the washing machine by mistake ;-) Very useful. I imagine boots and alsorts will get cleaned in there, even dogs

    Good grief. Cage?😂 ( she has a cage at work and for travelling but not at home, we share, we just 'shared' a cake I dropped).

    Things that annoy you (about your dogs).

    My terrier refuses to toilet in my garden so has to be taken out. The outside my garden area is crawling with dear little hedgehogs cunningly disguising themselves as molehills with little flashy eyes. My terrier is obsessed with them and has to check the whole area (on a lead) to do a count...

    I may have done something not entirely reasonable. Help and advice appreciated

    Crikey, my terrier would set about anything that had 'her' ball, then flirt with intent with any large, intact male. She's not good at team games.

    Weathermen forecast an early autumn

    I am expecting an early autumn. The big spiders are coming in a month early and the swallows are filling up and flying off. My garden birds seem to have done an early moult as well. I have never seen as many wild raspberries as this year and the blackberries are nearly over. If you believe...

    Rescue Roulette: Dogs from Abroad

    A colleague of mine has announced he will be acquiring a young foreign rescue dog which he will be using as a therapy dog. Photo of dog shows an alsation type with very big feet. I queried health tests and he told me it was all clear, he obviously hadn't heard of any the diseases I mentioned...

    What is the worst thing you could possibly do to upset your dogs?

    Allow the mobile phone to bleep, she leaves home! It has to be switched off, which reminds me.... Leave her at home, on her own, ever (I do, but the tragic lying around pretending to be dead is just so over the top). Allowing others to sleep in my/our bed. It is the only one in the house so I...

    12yr old homebred sold and then changed name - is this not confusing for him?

    My father rode lots of different horses and called them all Moses (or a cuss word when they weren't concentrating). Their stable names were irrelevant once he was on board! They all knew who he meant. And all cars were called Deidre

    Mum guilt after daughters fall

    I can't tell you the amount of times I was, quite literally, scraped from the floor and plonked back on ponies. I fell off endlessly. If I cried, or made a fuss they threatened to sell / give the pony away😂. Once, semi conscious and completely winded in a minimus jumping competition after the...

She was a loyal, faithful fun companion who lived until she was about 15. She was also wilful, happy to bite any strangers on our command, took umbrage very quickly with...

    3 legged foal

    I have seen the story on seven, the premature foal. Following it, I felt the breeder thought she might get a good outcome for him? She hasn't, and I cringe when I see him. Yes, that poor three legged foal should have been humanely euthanized at birth.
