Goodness, high drama on our shopping trip just now - 3 little Cavalier King Charles spaniels ran into the road in front of our car to bark at a passing dog on the pavement, the wind had obviously blown their fence down and gate open and owners were out. With leads and biscuits we managed to...

Oh poor baby. You might put down a few dog towels by the door in case it happens again, makes it slightly easier to clear up and gives her a bit of comfort (it won’t ruin her training just while the winds are high)

He does 🥺 and Carbón so rarely looks sad. But we must part, so we can meet again! How wonderful it is to be so loved 😍

This is SUCH good news! Go Coco :dug:

That’s really normal post-GA as I understand it, but it’s horribly distressing for you. We had similar with Kipper the only time he had GA and it lasted about 24 hours, fading in severity from ~6 hrs for us (but obviously individual variation, dose, weight etc makes a difference). I found it...

This is really encouraging, and explains why poor Chewie must have been so uncomfortable. Good news it’s not too daunting and hopefully has a really strong prognosis. We’ve taught Kipper to use a bed ramp, with great success - and my OH built a rather natty platform with nonslip covering to add...

Oh Chewie, he’s clearly out of sorts eh? He’s in the best place, but it’s so tough when you’re just waiting for news.

Poor Coco, it’s so awful when they’re sad and uncomfortable isn’t it. Keeping everything crossed that he bounces back very soon, darling boy. And on this We’ve all done it, it doesn’t make it any better but for Coco it will have been fleeting and he won’t dwell on it. Try to give yourself...

Very sensible, I hope Chewie responds well. The enrichment thread here is good, or do ask for ideasx

This is a good idea, we’ve done this with my mum who walks alone all the time and it’s very reassuring. It also means we can surprise her once in a while by popping up unexpectedly!

Kate, I’m so sorry. Do you have people supporting you right now? It’s a really traumatic thing you’re going through, don’t hold back from calling the Samaritans if you would like to talk to someone on 116 123. They’re there to listen for any sort of distress, don’t feel it’s not in their remit...

What a horrible, horrible thing to happen Kate, I’m so sorry. Sending much love and lambies for Nelly - I know you’re worried about her but try to coddle yourselves, don’t forget to eat and drink xxxxx

It only lasted an hour, I (just) remember the rolling power cuts in the 80s, it was such an adventure as children! We were lucky to have solid fuel and lots of candles.

That’s an amazing photo Kate, it expertly conveys Reuben’s excitement!! :rofl:

Stilton’s first proper snowfall! And Kipper in a blizzard! It’s coming in hard and heavy up on the hill tops, it’s so exciting. Now we’re having a power cut - thankfully I’ve just made a cup of tea 🫖

Happy birthday sweet Rory :dug: :partyhat: :gift: :cake:

Hmm, poor fellow. It could be all sorts, easier said than done but try to suspend judgement until you’ve seen the vet. Good luck, keep us posted!

Sleep tight Emily, Mr Emily and Ella! Goodness you’ve earned it. What phenomenal photos - it looks epic and intimidating and strange and fascinating. You did such a great job with Ella and the car, I can’t imagine there would’ve been a better way. Brava, and rest well, ready for exploring your...

What complete arsehats. I’m so sorry that happened to you and Harley, I hope her stiffness eases with some rest and you can do something therapeutically violent to get it out of your system. Those awful people don’t deserve to be given headspace, but easier said than done x

Golly Emily, it must feel exhausting/daunting/can’t come soon enough, you’ve put so much work into this trip. I keep thinking of all your planning and the emotions that must go into it, as well as everything you must be putting on the back burner until it’s done - I hope it’ll feel a relief to...
