Wow. You two definitely had a special loving relationship. How lucky you've both been to have found each other, and to have loved him enough to let him go when he needed to. The happy memories will start to come and make you smile again. Be kind to yourself...
My mare laid her ears back at me and pulled a stupid face if I didn't leave her alone to eat. BUT she never ever followed through. Most times I'd give her space to enjoy her food, didn't worry me to do so. I like to eat in peace too. Occasionally, if I was in a hurry, I'd start to muck out...
When a Lab refuses to eat, then be very worried. This happened to my Lab and it turned out she had got a hole under her tongue from trying to eat a stick earlier in the day, and we hadn't realised...
I think it's like having your first baby. You get goose bumps at the thought of them waking up and needing attention, so it is when you need to go see your horse, the excitement is fantastic, and even though I had my girl for 20 years, I had to keep pinching myself that she was really mine, a...
I think there is good to be had from various methods. Monty Roberts Join Up, parelli etc, just take a good look at different demos on YouTube etc, and try methods you think will work for you and your horse. I am a huge fan of Buck Branneman personally, and would love to meet the guy if he ever...
My oldest dog is 15.5 yrs old and has enjoyed going to hydrotherapy for the last few years, just once a month. Last Friday she seemed to collapse after her usual gentle treatment. Fortunately there was a vet close by and he checked her over. Sadly he discovered my lovely girl has a heart...
Such a joy to read. Your post has made me cry, but tears of happiness to know that another dog has finally discovered happiness in its life. The photo of her smiling says it all really. What a wonderful kind, patient and caring person you must be.
Does she have a forever home with you now...
I guess it's a personal thing whether or not you believe in the Rainbow Bridge. If it brings someone some comfort to know their beloved pet is in a beautiful place, pain free, and hopefully waiting for the time they can be reunited again, where's the harm? No different to saying a human...
That really is great customer service. Perhaps we should have a thread of companies who do give good service and who you would recommend, something like the local magazine we have occasionally which lists recommended services?
How very sad that you put your faith in someone, and they seem to have abused it...has anyone else experienced similar with this particular trainer?
When you're trying to teach her agility, are you doing it on your own, one on one, or is she in a group/class situation? She might relax more if...
