I would love Fig to measure in to small, but she’s going lanky.

Luckily I didn’t have to be there until 12.30!

I was kind of invested by then - two friends were running their young dogs so we all helped each other out and had a good laugh.

And my last run - yes an elimination - was at 6.15pm. The other ring still had about forty dogs over two classes to go at that point! Not a day of glory - Rew was seriously off the boil by his last run.

Show opened at 8.30, they’re averaging 30 dogs an hour - my first run was 3.30pm! 🤣

Well done both and I hope small dog doesn’t have any soreness tomorrow. KC show for us tomorrow.

There are worse things than death. Such a tough call to make, but totally understood and supported.

Mrs J do you have anymore crumpets in the freezer? Crumpets with butter and marmite are delicious, Mr StR has just told me that the best way to do them is slice in half, add marmite and grated cheese, bit more grated cheese on top, then sling them in the air fryer. He’s just told me they’re...

I’m sorry for your loss. Mine was pts as an emergency at midnight a couple of years ago aged 31, I’d had him 26 years. Waking up the next morning without him was surreal.

We generally feed at 6pm, last walk is around 11.30pm though so 7 is okay - she will often poo in the evening (outside!) and sometimes again at 11.30pm, she just can’t go (or just doesn’t try, or prefers to shit indoors) all night. Wearing. I do feed at a similar time each day, but sometimes...

Fig had her first go at an agility class last night - there was a spare space so she joined Rew and Mr StR came along as dog wrangler. She had lots of fun and was mentally exhausted at the end, having run through a 5m tunnel on a curve (only done a straight 3m before), a line of puppy bumps...

I think mentioned up thread as border collie x whippet.

She came on frozen which she wasn’t fussed about. She doesn’t mind wet, and tbh she likes her dry, she’s just not food driven. She is crated to eat, fed at the same time as Rew. She would like to get in his bowl, so she ignores her food while he eats (a few feet away, within earshot), once he...

I’ve tried most permutations of when to feed, sometimes she doesn’t eat until 3pm, which obviously pushes the evening feed back. Awkward little creature! I can’t go to one feed a day at her age - ideally she’d still be on three but she won’t eat that often.

No, I am not a dachshund lover. She’s 3/4 Italian greyhound and 1/4 whippet.
