    Flicka

    An update in Flicka. She is now 15 months, has just been spayed and is a changed dog. From the nervous, cowering puppy, who if anyone came to the door would squeeze herself into the smallest space of her bed and hide, now rushes to the door, very excited "oh it is someone to visit me". After...

    Joy's eyesight.

    That reminds me @Atemas, that my first dog, many, many years ago would always know when we got about half a mile from Mike's Mother's house and it was dark and about 120 miles from our house, we live in the West Midlands and Mike's Mother lived near London. She would be asleep in the back of...

    Keyhole Spay

    Am free! Interesting that not walking stiffened me up and contributed to some measure of depression, I feel much better already, unless it is just a good day and tomorrow I will be back to square one! We have had two walks on long lead for two days, today it was off lead and back to our usual...

    Joy's eyesight.

    Dogs power of scent is much much more than ours, so maybe she can scent? I have no idea though. I do know dogs can detect dead bodies in deep water. My only thought is that she might recognise body language/shape with the minimal sight she has.

    Say Hi to Sheba!

    I put my 2 GSPs in very good kennels and one would not come out of the kennel and when we finally arrived home you could see her breath a sigh of relief "thank heaven I am home" so I never left her again. It is a shame my daughter's dog has Brucellosis Canis otherwise she could have gone there...

    Say Hi to Sheba!

    No unfortunately, she has two old dogs and works 6 hours a day and has a very cold house! I thought she wouldn't be working still but has to go on until she is 67. One of the dogs from Romania has Brucellosis Canis, so she cannot go there after all.

    Say Hi to Sheba!

    Did Sheba settle in straight away? Just worried that when I die, Flicka will have to be rehomed and it does worry me about how she will feel.

    Often it is good to stop an aspect of training and give it a break.

    Vets of today

    A friend of mine who is a retired vet, did some costing over the weekend, whether to join the health plan at new vet practice and said it came out as cheaper not to join. It is a new independent vet, we went to open day on Saturday, very well kitted out with up to date equipment and of course...

    You must miss his presence and support so much :( However, knowing he is happy with Aunty Kate and his pals must help a little x

    Not yet! Though I did take her for 10 minutes on the lead down the lane this morning! Of course it is raining and they are not to get the wound wet or dirty She is so full of beans and is difficult to keep her quiet, well impossible. She has all her toys out of the toy box (cardboard) and...

    Hoopers

    How wonderful @Selina27. I have heard of Hoopers and a neighbour in next Close used to do it, but the class is about an hour away. There are no interesting classes round here, there is scent work and man trailing but very, very expensive and again have to travel distances. So back to gundog...
