Sorry to hear about Lady. They leave a huge hole in our lives but also a lot of happy memories. Cherish the memories.

This afternoon I tried to teach Holly to roll over. She would roll onto her back but couldn't quite get the idea of going all the way round. I decided to demonstrate it to her. Holly and I were both on the floor with limbs in the air when Ruth came in to see if I'd like a cuppa. I think it...

When I was young my first Lab, Tammy, ran off into the sand dunes in Southport. She wouldn't come back so I had to go off looking for her. She'd found a courting couple .....

Astroturf?

Ruth and I fully understand. We went through a very similar stage with Cocoa, or last Lab. During her last year she was quite happy to follow us around the house and garden. She liked to be taken to her favourite places, but would only walk for a few minutes then just lie and enjoy the...

Poor girl. I hope she‘s sensible and takes lots of rest.

Ruth and I managed to clean and wash half a tub of strawberries before Holly realised we were in the kitchen.

Otter looks so excited while waiting to be released.

We've been testing Holly's hearing while she recuperates. Today I found out that sliding a yoghurt lid half an inch along the kitchen bench can wake her up in her basket in the living room.

She's moving much more easily, thanks. We've been taking one or two short walks around the estate each day to give her some air and a bit of mental stimulus. Now that lockdown rules are easing in Wales we're thinking of taking her to the Dog Dip tomorrow. Its about an hour's round trip with a...

You Tube.

There were no sore spots on her back. I'm inclining towards a small problem with knee or hips. We'll stick with the vet's advice of gentle walks and keep an eye on her.

Her back seems OK. Normal mobility, quite happy to bend and squirm. There are no lumps. The nails are worn, but no different to the back right. I think this is a watch and wait for now. She's seven years old and active, not in a manic playful way but she loves long long walks and swimming.

Holly's finished her week of enforced rest and moved onto light walks at the weekend. Today we did 30 min of gently sniffing walk around the estate. It's nice and flat, and there are plenty of grassy patches for her to sniff. Front right seems to be moving nicely, but her back left is doing...

A long walk can be researched as lots of short walks. The reader will never know.....

I'm here to help.

I know what you mean about the delay. I think my proof came by rowing boat.

It sounds like there's some interest in the idea. Everyone have a think about your all-time favourite walk in your area. I'm happy to act as editor if people agree. If @snowbunny agrees we could use the royalties to contribute toward the running costs of the forum, any excess going to a dog...

I thought I'd leave this thread to settle for a couple of weeks before making this suggestion. How does everyone feel about trying to do a forum book 'The Best Dog Walks in the UK'. We could also try an international version 'The Best Dog Walks in the World' but that could be construed as...

Cool mat and fan, and I‘m STILL feeling too hot!
