I use lots of this stuff and I'm sure I'm not alone

No I'm not getting a puppy, however it's nice to dream but these prices can't be real, can they? I had been reading about the cost of cross breeds going into thousands of ££££ and thought I would check labradors and I'm shocked. Now I know this is not a reputable site to buy pups from...

Cupar had to get his anal glands emptied as he was back to chewing his leg. I phoned the vets and spoke to the vet nurse, she then decides whether the dog needs to be seen by the vet. An appointment was arranged for me to take Cupar to the vets but stay in my car in the car park outside the...

Had to drop off eggs to lady in cottage, decided to take Cassie, she never gets to walk here, as I take Cupar usually on a round trip. So up and back down and she found a new lease of life when entering the field. My nearly 15 year old love, love, this gorgeous girl.

My friends 15 year old Cocker spaniel Dot went to rainbow bridge today. We had arranged to meet up today but this morning she had to phone the vet for her. She had a womb infection. They gave my friend options and because of how well she was before, she decided to operate. She got the phone...

Sorry for the long title but I could do with advice please. My OH helps a farmer out, he's elderly and he is back in hospital again. Each time he's been taken to hospital my OH takes his dog to the local kennels. However it's looking like this gentleman may need to move into care. My OH is...

After OH came home with a bigger plastic bed for Cassie, I put her small bed in sitting room. I have been feeling guilty for ages as she sleeps in the kitchen, in her bed. I had tried putting double vet bedding on the floor of sitting room, she never used it. Today, she has the new bed in the...

This is the third time Cupar has come running to me instead of chasing a hare. Walking on the footpath, fenced at both sides but the horse field fence has shrunk in height by the previous horses. Cupar was running in front of me when a huge hare darted out and ran down the field the horses were...

I let my daughters dog out for a pee today and took Cassie with me. Cassie stole a raw hide belonging to Max. Cassie was never good at leave it but under no circumstances would she give it up. So I walked her home carrying it. There was no way she was being allowed to chew that, it was bleached...

OK I've come to the conclusion, I'm a control freak. My daughter, her partner and my new 9 day old grandson are paying a visit. I can't remember Cupar ever being in the same room as a newborn. So I used the dog gate to separate the dogs from the family, allowed us all to get settled. I then had...

I'm looking for recommendations for the correct way to lift a dog or a carry strap of some kind. For our 40th anniversary in January next year, we have booked to stay the weekend in our local 'big house'. It sleeps 13, there will be 12 adults staying. Every holiday in the UK my dogs come too...

I arranged during the week to go for a walk with my neighbour and the only other dog Cupar plays with. This would have been our second walk with them. We arranged to meet at 10am but it had been raining here for hours and the visibility was bad as well as flooded roads. My friend stopped by my...

Cupar is confusing me. My goal at the moment is to get Cupar to a stage where he can walk past on lead, all dogs without reacting. My eldest granddaughter (she's 19 years old) and I walk together with her mums dog, he's a wee sweetheart Cocker spaniel. Cupar hates him, they're both entire, Max...

Love this girl to bits. A dog has no idea what age is or does to a body, although they feel pain but they don't complain. She's on painkillers for arthritis but I'm the spoil sport, as I control activities. She's no longer able to run the way she once did, or allowed to chase the ball but I do...

I have a big house in my doorstep. When Cupar was a puppy I would walk the big walks around the estate. Then the 'professional' dog walkers took over. Cupar by then being reactive I had to stop the using them. Of all the things I miss with having a reactive dog, these walks are the biggest...

This sunlounger is for Cassie to use according to my OH.

Am I the only numpty that still hides from their dog? Cupar is 5 now and most of our walks are through fields. At the moment the hedges are nice and hidable If he goes too far in front and is not paying attention, I hide. I did this when I was doing recall training when he was a puppy but I've...

Well this week has been trying but I've learned so much. Cupar growled at a human this week for the first time, a small human.( Toddler) After putting separation of child and dog in place for the week, the weekend has arrived. Daughter with two step children 3 and 7 years old, son with his...

Cassie came to us when she was 5 years old, she's now 13 and a half. She can't walk much anymore, she's only got about 30% movement in her hips but with pain management and exercise she's an absolute joy to look after. All the family adore her and what Cassie wants, Cassie gets is the mantra...
