This could soon turn into a camper van thread😁. Tiddly, what is yours?

I have always taken mine. He just loves it. Pre campervan I used to hammer a tent peg right into the ground with a loop of string attached to it that I threaded his training lead through. It never failed to hold him (9kg terrier) and believe me it was often tested as his enthusiasm knew no...

Many many years ago, one lovely summer evening, a friend and I were sitting outside a pub. She was wearing a lightish yellow top and got absolutely covered in insects. I think they were aphids. It was hilarious, well for me at any rate 🤣

Research nutrition for lung health. I find lots of leafy greens help me.

I can't sufficiently express my contempt of this individual. Your OH was I dare say correct. Anyway it was clearly all your fault for being there 🙄🙄 Many years ago a couple of GSDs pinned my shrieking Labxcollie down in some woods. I told their owner to get his effing dogs off mine. He...

This is just stuff out of a bull's bottom. I feel for you. I have been given 3 dogs over the years. Non of the previous owners wanted any more to do with them! If she couldn't jell with the dog first time round, why does she expect to now? As you say, still same dog, same owner and...

My dog is very popular with strange dogs apparently, his owner less so😂 I might have been called a horrible old cow a couple of weeks ago as I yanked him miles away from a couple that were striding purposefully towards us with their JR. Honestly, just what is it all about. And they get...

It's only saying hello 🙄

I have hacked out mostly with youngsters. My sister often had under 6s and we often did a 4 and 5 yo. I remember going on 1 hack from the livery yard I was at 12ish years ago was another livery and our two 5 year olds. We were out for quite a while in different places and any problems just...
