See, should have had a really tight noseband to keep it's mouth closed 🙄 I hate seeing horses being used for anything nowadays. Sorry.

Weird: I'm on the periphery of a fast growing town. One footpath is a no go now as tarmced over and a cycle/footpath. Never used to see anyone on that. Now full of would be Tour de France riders. Other footpaths within walking distance I usually don't see anyone on. No idea why. No...

Rider too heavy for horse, surely. Sick of seeing it.

I've been feeling crap with a cold so have opted for flat walks on muddy tracks near hills which I have to drive to Not seen anyone. Today popped out round the block as feeling a lot better and almost immediately a complete pair of twits wanted their 2 JRs to say hello to mine. So mine is...

It's difficult to imagine an attack going on for that length of time. Those poor people. I wonder if they will get any compensation at all, I expect the dogs were fully insured. Not 🙄

Sadly long gone but a cav me and ex once had was a scream. If he and other dog were given a chew, he would take his and hide under the coffee table with it. He would then come out, go up to the French doors to the garden, bark like mad until other dog left his chew to see what the fuss was...

Nightmare!! I have a terrier, he measures roughly 15cm along his back. He has 2 very old hotterdog fleece rugs that fit and an amigo fleece rug, plus a quite thick fleece rug (a bit too small,) that I got off ebay donkeys years ago, and a couple of old weatherbeeta (again a bit small)...

I am squeamish 😁 I can't do feet of anything, stuff with hair on, gizzards, necks, pizzles or anything smelly. My terrier likes lamb skin plaits. These are quite expensive and I have found some lamb skin twists (I think it was B and M) which are just the right size for him. Coffee wood...

I wonder if it could be made to "last"?

For them yes, but not for any future events that could affect any of us with horses so I think PN has done a sterling job of outlining the steps needed to hopefully prevent any future large displays. I no longer have horses but well remember the stress and misery fireworks caused.

Oh gosh, what an awful shock. You have my deepest sympathy.

Fingers crossed for a Ratner style backlash. Unspeakable man. None of his stores near me but will boycott any I see on my travels.

Oh yes, absolutely 😂 I am just terrified of most dogs much bigger than a JR. No reason, it's just gradually evolved over the years. And this was the sort of dog I would cross the road to avoid!

On a lighter note, I just saw one of my neighbour's girls who made a fuss of my dog. I asked how theirs was (a spaniel x terrier they got as a pup from a rescue who would be about 3 now) and she said fine. I asked if they walked her much (I never see them out with her) and she replied the dog...
