A friend of mine has 5 labradors and those that can have regularly donated to the Pet Blood Bank. She recently shared a post on FB that I popped onto our own page. In fact, it was Elaine who first introduced me to The Old Place, though she wasn't an active member. None of us know when our dog...

@Sophiedoodle , Lilly, Oreo and I have just set off on a 4 night break (without OH!) To a little place near Ardfern on the west coast 20 miles South of Oban. We are planning some nice walks, some RnR and a bit of wine consumption. Meanwhile back at the ranch our roof is half off and the workmen...

Has anyone had a pet portrait done, and can you recommend a particular artist? We have one of Lilly, but the lady who did it seems to have dropped off Facebook so not currently active. There are loads of people advertising but a recommendation is always good!

Now we have topped up our collar supplies :angel: Just wondering what your favourite collar TAGS are. I like the non dangly ones though like a bit of bling now and again for a "party collar". My favourite is the Indigo Collar Tag.

I don't know if anyone has used this website but it's pretty handy. Driving with Dogs We stopped over here at The Moat House in Staffordshire where there was a pleasant walk beside a canal (with ducks) and a lovely area outside the front with benches where we partook of some (non alcoholic)...

Sneaked this in here, looking for some Top Tips for a long weekend in Munich for me and OH in a couple of weeks. We have so many well travelled and knowledgeable members, looking for some ideas. So far, we have got as far as a City Tour bus. I'm sure there are many things to do we haven't really...

OK, so after being worried about Lilly almost choking on a bit of beef scalp a couple of months back - it was stuck in the roof of her mouth, possibly some down her throat....not exactly choking perhaps, but not quite the prolonged chew I was expecting - thought I would try turkey necks as she...

I was wondering if any of you guys had used one of these? The Tractive GPS Tracker sounds the most affordable with good reviews. I guess it is dependent upon good mobile phone coverage :hmm: I got to thinking about them after bumping into a chap in the woods with 3 Goldies, all wearing...

Any one else get these. I have had 2 in as many days. Lilly is shedding buckets so guess it's that.

Sorry for the inconvenience of today's forum absence. Unfortunately this was due to events outside of our control, and issues related to the host at their central data centre. Happily we now seem back up and running. Some of us have been wasting our times meanwhile on Facebook, others have been...

Saw this on FB and shared to our group. For those not on FB apparently a big discount using PUP1 at checkout.

So.....any suggestions for dog friendly accommodation anyone is willing to share for Cornwall area? I spotted Beaver Cottage already. Think we might need a 2 bed place and an enclosed garden is a must.

You know when you can't un-see something? I was innocently looking for some pretty dog themed socks (of the kind santa might stuff in your stocking) Wasn't expecting these

I like the look of these. Fishy Advent I always avoid commercial Christmas things for dogs particularly as so many contain doggy chocolate. I just don't do that - goes in the bin. These have a BOGOF offer on them too.

20% off until Monday night I think." A little treat for the weekend...... 20% OFF Labrador & Spaniel Bone China Mugs Simple enter code: MUG20 when you checkout before midnight tomorrow! Inspired by Darcy

I was thinking about Kongs earlier on today and thought this a useful thread to start. Lilly's favourite filling is anything, but most often I stuff her Kongs with: Banana Ice Cream (Smashed banana, a spoonful of natural yoghurt, a teaspoon of peanut butter) ALWAYS a winner!! Soaked kibble - I...

We were a bit alarmed yesterday when we spotted an inflamed "lesion" on Lilly's undercarriage yesterday afternoon. She is often lying on her back and legs akimbo so I don't think it had been there for long. Lilly has been spayed (she was done before her first season at 6 months) and I admit I...

I know it's early for Christmas, but I just spotted some lovely cards on FB which reminded me of our new friends Cooper and Stanley. I bought a couple of lovely labrador felt hangers for Christmas a few years back - one for Lilly and one for cousin Georgie. I thought it might be nice to share...

Not really fitting the brief for this part of the forum, but thought I would like to rekindle a bit of a dialogue on what we are reading for pleasure. I love to get other people's opinions and recommendations, I find it really widens my reading repertoire. I have just finished a classic for our...

I noticed that Black Retriever X Rescue FB page had this site recently shared on their page. It struck me as a very useful resource, full of information for dogs and their owners with arthritis. I liked their pyramid approach with the following steps discussed in detail Owner identifying pain...
