So did I. I loathe the cold and swear the hunch back I have, is because of always being cold.

How long does that last for? What is the weather for each season? When I remember the winters growing up in Scotland, I know they were nowhere near that temperature. I do remember we had one source of heat, a coal fire in the sitting room and the bedroom windows had the most beautiful patterns...

Well that made me think. No would need to be the answer. He's had 3 separate encounters. The first was over quickly and happened in the dark, so only saw what looked like two dogs on hind legs but no cuts, blood spilled. Second time was with him on lead, to a dog he has known since a pup, both...

We don't have to worry about the river bursting its banks as we're too high up but I never thought I would live in a time, when anyone had to make a contingency plan because of the weather, in the UK.

I have a serious question. My heart goes out to all the people who have had to move out due to flooding and nothing brings it home to me, is when it involves people with animals. Watching the news, the reporter was pulled down a street in a boat and introduced to some of the people who have...

@snowbunny thank you for such details, it's much appreciated. It gives me hope that it is possible for Cupar , with help, to live with another dog. I haven't got around to muzzle training Cupar and did think I would be more comfortable with him not being able to do any damage with his mouth...

@snowbunny thankyou for this, I have always wondered about how you managed to get Shadow to a place where he could live with other dogs. I think Shadow and Cupar are very similar. Cupar dislikes puppies and he is getting better walking near some dogs without any reaction. Did you use a muzzle...

Sorry for the long title but I could do with advice please. My OH helps a farmer out, he's elderly and he is back in hospital again. Each time he's been taken to hospital my OH takes his dog to the local kennels. However it's looking like this gentleman may need to move into care. My OH is...

Cupar could be fixated on his ball if I let him. I have to be careful with the amount of excitement and exercise he gets as Cupar has in the past collapsed through too much exercise. Cupar is the first dog that I have ever managed to teach STAY. We have only managed to get me being able to walk...

I can only add these , thanks to the skill of the people who fly these planes and the men and women that sail a boat , ship or ferry into port safely. If you have decided to fly instead of use the ferry, you might have second thoughts. Plane lands sideways on at Heathrow in fierce crosswinds

Who here would get on this ferry? Ferry crew praised for berthing lurching ferry

I took Cupar to the fields today to play with his friend and forgot to put my water proof trousers on. Result was two sodden feet as the heavy rain soaked my trousers within minutes and the water then ran down into my wellys. Everything is sodden, I had to wash the leads, the collar, my gloves...

I've just ordered this book for my daughter. It comes at a difficult time as she's being diagnosed with post natal depression and hopefully while reading it to my beautiful grandson, it may help her be kind to herself.

Och well, you know how I like to share pics of Cupar and his bits, since your all sharing.

That yoga video, brilliant but did that dog have three of them? Balls I mean. Cupar has what looks like dirt but is freckly on his. Please feel free to check on one of the many photos I post of Cupars balls, in the 'view from my chair'.

I don't know whether there is any benefits using stuff that claims to be good for gut health in dogs. However I have a routine for my two. Their Kongs are dipped in 10% fat Greek yoghurt, ( it's thicker than normal yoghurts so doesn't drip as much) I buy a couple of big tubs a week and dip the...

I braved the wind and took Cupar on Cassies walk, so he's had a runabout with his ball and sniffs. Then he sneaks through to the sitting room as OH left the gate open and plonked his not entirely clean body on the sofa.

My garden is full of water and there is to be NO reprieve from the 50/60 mph winds and the heavy rain, until Tuesday night at 9pm. :eek:

OH and neighbour had to tie down our new neighbours hut/shed tonight as it was moving about his garden and he hasn't moved in yet. P.S. Don't tell my OH but I changed to the the 13"5 tog quilt today, I'm hoping he won't notice. ( It's usually the 4.5 tog summer quilt)
