Well done for navigating such a difficult decision, and for drawing on your network - I hope it brings you all (and especially you) some proper relief. Sounds like a great plan to get your friends on board to help with getting Hunter’s weight down xxxx

Right, so in my mind - number 1 priority is: make the new flooring area a safe place for Maxx. Not only because he’s obviously quite upset by this and you want him to feel better, but you don’t want this to have other unintended consequences that could make Maxx nervous in other situations. Plus...

So pleased to hear - this made me laugh, poor sweaty eagles! I bet they do get sweaty sometimes too, having to lug deer carcasses across mountain tops. I’m glad you’ve landed and can perchance have a shower at some point. I put it to you that el savi senyor is simply happy to be with his...

What do you do for entertainment? Do you read, or listen to podcasts? Or plan world domination?

You were sunk from then on in!!:rofl:

Oh hooray, I bet they’re lucky to have you! It’ll be a whirlwind to begin with but you’ll soon find your feet. And if you don’t take to it it’s not the end of the world, good on you for giving it a shot. Good luck!

Well DONE @Loraseal , and I’m so pleased your OH came along too. Now you can try to rest your heads for a bit - it’s a really difficult time you’re all having, hopefully the clarity is helpful. Go really gently with yourselves.

Well done, you’re working so hard on all of this

Is it an option to see your friendly vet in Utrecht as a second opinion, if your unfriendly vet in The Hague doesn’t give you what you (and your husband) need? It’s probably more travel, time off, inconvenience, stress etc but might give you a fuller picture of your options and help you unite in...

How horribly upsetting @Loraseal , or you and poor Hunter. Hold onto that not knowing how to feel, and try not to despair - you don’t know for certain yet what it is, we’re all with you while you wait. Sending you all huge love and support xxxxx

It’s a good thought, and one I’ve mulled - I only know two boxers, and they’re both reactive. It’s not the most common breed round here, so I’ll keep an eye out for well adjusted looking fellows and see if we can set up a comfortable meeting.

Ah poor Nelly and you, it’s stressful to manage seizures especially when they’re unpredictable. You’re doing absolutely the best for her. There’s no point in testing if it wouldn’t change her treatment, so well done to you and your vet team. Have a super trip to the beach, it’ll do all of you...

Darling little Nugget, he was very well loved xxxxx

Oh look at you gorgeous creatures!! :inlove: This is joyful

Today, Kipper, Stilton and I had POST!! From the lovely @Candy and GGJ, who sent a fabulous card and present of moon chews to brighten our day after Kipper’s nasty incident on Sunday :inlove: Kipper says thank you veryvery much, and he was gracious enough to share with Stilton who said thank...

Thank you, I think you’re absolutely right that most of us will experience something similar at some point. You’re kind to say I was brave and quick to protect Kipper, that makes me feel better!

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the messages! I’m working through the stress response with occasional tears, and Kipper is a blooming Trojan - we did another village walk this morning (he’s had a stiff back so we’re taking it gently and doing minimal car ramp activity) and he trotted along...

On our village walk earlier, we came across a couple with an older boxer and a spaniel. Both off lead, so I left Kipper off - I prefer to match whoever we’re meeting, and Kipper is so chilled these days there’s normally just a sniff and move on. The boxer approached us, I thought looking...

And I’ve accepted, baby! Lovely to see you over there 😘 I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it - the more people you ‘follow’, the less dross you’ll be offered. Look at my follow feed for dog people ideas if that helps? And message me any time over there, it’s likely I’ll have an idea or two if needed.

Carbón is famous already! This is from Daisy’s Instagram account :inlove: For what it’s worth, I think doggy Instagram is a fabulous corner of the internet. Instagram itself is slightly frustrating as a platform ands is sadly part of the Meta empire, but as we’ve already chatted about, I’ve...
