I caught me heel in uneven tarmac lane, the tarmac at one small place was not flush with the ground this morning and ended up flat on my back with enormous bump on my head. Ended up in A&E which is the last place I wanted to be. 111 made me an appointment and it was well organised. I am OK so...

I have developed a cold today which is disconcerting as I have been nowhere, except over the fields and the only person I saw was my friend. We kept the social distance, didn't touch any gates, didn't see another person. I haven't seen Sue for four days and apparently she developed a cold a...

Not sure if this is acceptable, so please delete if it isn't. I am arranging Mike's grave stone and wanted some help/ideas as what to put on it. Obviously treasure memories of.....born...died. But what to put on after that. Don't want to put Father, husband etc. He liked the hymn/song...

I have just heard the news that Boris is now in intensive care, feeling very worried about him.

Mike died this evening at about 6.15, all rather sudden. A very big thank you to @Beanwood and @Selina27 for the practical help they gave me and their kindness and @Granca and all of you, for being there and caring.

Saw specialist orthopaedic yesterday and Rourke has been diagnosed with tendonitis, he is to stay on the lead for SIX MONTHS, I cannot bear the thought of that and it isn't even certain if all that rest will heal it. It means I cannot do any of the summer sundog training or walk with my friend...

When I got up this morning, Rourke could hardly walk and looked very sorry for himself, he then vomited and did not want to eat anything. A friend came and we took him to the vet (I have a new Honda Jazz automatic and find it very scary, have never driven an automatic before). Vet thinks it...

Has anyone's dog/s had these? Rourke's arthritis in his shoulders has not responded to laser treatment; Metacam and Previcox make him sick, so now vet is trying Cartrophen injections. If you have, did you find them effective?

Rourke has spent most of his life on Arden Grange Lamb and Rice kibble which suits him well. However, as some of you will know, Rourke has been diagnosed with arthritis in both shoulders and has been lame for at least a year and NSAIDs cause him to be sick, so he cannot take them. I bought a...

I seem to have to keep logging in today, why?

Rourke has been lame for a year, sometimes imperceptibly and sometimes more pronounced. He has been seen by a vet three times since then and non of them could work out which foreleg he was lame on. So I decided to have him x-rayed, the vet I saw this morning could see he was lame but...

A year ago my beloved Drift was put to sleep, he was only just 11 years old. He was put to sleep in my living room with his pheasant dummy in his mouth and me beside him. Feeling very upset.

I have had to miss many posts as the forum is very slow at the moment (last three days) and unfortunately I don't have the time to wait for ages, so frustrating. :cry:

I have a lovely photo of Selina and Cassie taken when we had a walk at Brockhampton to day, but despite my best efforts I cannot download it!!!

Does anyone have experience or thoughts on whether 'Cold Coats for dogs' are helpful in the hot weather, or whether they are a gimmick?

Not sure whether this will work. Photo of Selina.
