    Rather Large Hairy Varmits

    Usually you have to vote with your feet Im afraid or do it yourself. I have been on a yard like this and stayed because of the wonderful hacking. I ended up replacing fencing and door bolts. Once I moved away onto a properly maintained yard I marvel how I stood it !

    Just going to have a rant

    Just going to have a rant

    He is with us to socialise though he's not a puppy. He does get on with most of the other dogs although he is very bargy and has sent my Gordon flying a couple of times as she is very pottery on her back legs.. He suddenly seems to have taken a dislike to her, she doesn't have a nasty bone in...

    Have horses ruinned your looks?

    Bent first finger (haynet tieing syndrome) dry eyes most of the time in winter from wind and shavings blowing in ! I don't look in the mirror either unless I am meeting someone for lunch, usually about every 2 months, then I get a terrible shock :D
