Glorious Miss Molly! Happy happy birthday to the most beautiful of senior ladies :partyhat: :sun: :inlove: :gift:

Thanks for all your good wishes, frens! We’re have deflation - soon be back to normal.

It is fascinating, from some angles he looks like an English bull terrier!

Poor Kipper has been bitten by something - I suspect an insect or spider - and his whole nose has swollen up quite substantially. I took him to the vet this morning to check it wasn’t anything else like a tooth or abscess, but we’re pretty sure it’s a bite reaction. So we’re on Piriton...

Kate, I’m sorry this happened and sorry for you and Reuben that he was let down by the vet nurse’s handling. What a shame. I agree with Alison’s advice re the vet coming out to the car; we do this with Stilton, who’s been nervous going into the consulting rooms since he had ongoing ear problems...

Cor, you’re earning your wings! How lovely you were able/willing to help out. @Beanwood ’s suggestions plus variations on a theme - he’s bound to be a bit unsettled so scatters, slow chews (autocorrected to chess - might be possible for a collie? Kipper finds it too boring), lick mats etc...

A sheet of grief is such a visceral description. I don’t think it’s surprising the you’ve held off grieving losing your dad in May, it’s such a short time away. It can take years for the deep realisation to take hold, I’m sure at some level it’s self preservation while you get through the other...

What an utterly horrible time for you @Loraseal , and I’m so sorry darling Hunter is in pain as well as whatever has happened to his (suspected) shoulder. Sending you huge sympathy in your grief for the one year anniversary of losing your mum, and also for Hunter’s injury. I’m glad your son can...

No sorry needed, and thank you for the message - you’re absolutely right that it’s mindset change and this puts it beautifully; as we both know, there’s a whole spectrum of directions this could go in, so we take it a day at a time and work out what we’re dealing with x

Oh Jac, I am sorry you have this weight and beautiful Lilly is struggling in these ways. Emily puts it best, that you know Lilly inside out and will do what is best for her. I think that in this situation, you can’t separate out all the other factors you’re needing to consider; so I don’t know...

Oh, this is horrible - I completely understand the guilt. I think the thing we often overlook is that these charity collectors are very trained in extracting money/pledges to donate from people, because it’s their sole motivation. Not really criticising them (much), but that’s what they do - so...

Thanks all, much appreciated. None of this is new to us with Kipper’s joint issues, so we’ll take it step by step and manage as best we can. It’s simply that mourning for a different life that's a bit tough right now.

We took Stilton to the physio today to have a look at front and hind limbs, as we've noticed some changes in motion and wanted to check them out. It does look like he's got inflammation in both his elbows. I'm really sad about this, but not suprised - ever since he was a few months, we've...

Do you have a ball with a bell in it? I wondered if that would give her added fun, having a sound element!

Ooh, square poo!! Looks like a great trip for children and Labradors 😍

6?? That baby is growing up!! He looks really happy, clearly he had a great day. The cake is fabulous, well done 👏

Bored is a luxury! Fingers crossed stitches removal goes well.

Oh @Mrs UB I’m so so sorry for your loss of beautiful Harvey. He was a wonderful soul and so very, very well loved.

Hooray! Well done Carbon, what a boy :inlove:

Stilton has one of these, absolutely loves it! But is only stretched out on the floor in this heat - I completely agree it’s too warm for most pups right now. As soon as it cools I’m sure she’ll give it a go, hopefully it’s a winner.
