That’s a cool onesie although I’m not sure Reuban would agree :happy: I’m hoping as I’m so late catching up that by now Reuban is back to himself and causing trouble because he’s bored of being restricted.:fingers: Even though I’ve not had chance to post I’ve been thinking of you. Now the op is...

@Naya I think letting Harley decide what she wants to do is the right thing to do. If she fancies a walk or just a mooch in the garden then a snooze it’s up to her she’s earned the right to choose at her age. When Murphy got to the age were he wasn’t fussed to go for a walk every day or run for...

Sorry I don’t believe in variety. Having had experience of a dog with chronic colitis once I find a food that suits I stick to it. Fish protein is often recommended for dogs with sensitive stomachs. My first lab with the colitis couldn’t eat salmon it was too rich. He had a white fish kibble. He...

@kateincornwall Oh Kate I’m so very sorry. It really isn’t fair on any of you. I don’t think anything I can say will make you feel any better but Reuban is a fit, strong dog he’s got through this before I know he can and will get through it again. I’ll be thinking of you all. :heart::hug:

Brilliant progress. @Jelinga a few weeks ago you didn’t know if you’d get Flicka to walk down your lane. You have and with your help she’ll continue to get braver and make progress. Just keep doing what your doing. :clap:

@Naya Poor Harley and poor you. :hug: You are doing the right thing though. I hope now her painkillers are increased Harley will start having more fun days which will make you all feel better. You must‘t blame yourself about the pain killers. There’s no way you could’ve known. You were doing...

@kateincornwall I’m keeping everything crossed for tomorrow Kate :hug:

@HAH thank you. It’s well over an hour since it happened now and doesn’t seem to be bothering him. I checked it for swelling and he didn’t react to me giving it a bit of pressure so :fingers:

I’m glad Ella is ok. Coincidence @Emily Hunter has just been stung by a wasp. It’s absolutely chucking it down here. I’ve just nipped him down our lane which is like a river, went over to my aunties with the post and while he was sitting on her step like an island because our back yard is quite...

Fabulous news to catch up on on this miserable, wet, Monday morning @Jelinga. Flika must really be starting to bond and trust you. Wonderful :clap:

@Naya I’m so sorry about Harley. I can appreciate what your going through wanting to do what’s best for Harley but not knowing what that is. It’s just the most agonising position to be in. I know longterm antibiotics could cause other problems and doesn’t sound like a suitable solution but is...

Thank you all for the advice. @kateincornwall I will be keeping the new dummy for retrieving only and I think I’ll start indoors like you suggest. Hunter will usually retrieve to my hand inside. I do think bad habits have been learnt outside. Despite my efforts other people like to play chase...

Glad Reuben slept for all your sakes :wink: I’m sure his big, booming bark will be back in no time. It’s got to be said Labradors do have an impressive bark.:happy:

Tuppy did fantastically @Granca. All of my previous dogs have had fatty lumps of various types and sizes. Murphy had a lump that suddenly grew and burst. It was removed but that was still just a fatty lump when it was tested it had just become infected probably due to a grass seed the vet said...

@Granca that’s just lovely. Sometimes I think our dogs can just sense how to behave. For example Hunter has never jumped up at my 88 year old aunt who we see daily as we share a back yard even though he’s always super happy to see her. My other aunt however who is much younger gets the full...

You brag away @edzbird you all did brilliantly. :clap: I have to admit nail clipping is not something I enjoy doing at all.

Poor Reuban. It must be very confusing for dogs after a GA. Glad his teeth are all ok and he’s now getting over the trauma of it all. :clap:

For once I have a simple question if only the answer could be simple :happy: What is the best way to build and keep desire to retrieve a dummy ? I have a new dummy arriving tomorrow. Hunter has plenty of desire to retrieve something new but once the novelty has worn off he gets bored and...

@Jelinga Flicka is beautiful. I’ve just caught up with your thread and it’s lovely to read the progress your making with her. She’s so lucky to have got such a patient, loving home with you.:heart: @Joy that is brilliant advice and a great way of looking at what can be frustrating, confusing...

@Parodius, @HAH, @M.F. Thank you all you‘ve made me feel a lot better and the next time it happens, which could well be tomorrow who knows, I certainly won’t worry knowing you’ve all experienced similar. Like Neo Hunter seems to prefer to throw up on the carpet although this time I did spot the...
