My advice to new owners would be, if you want to enjoy walks with your adult dog, start teaching your puppy leash walking and recall in the home and not wait until you can walk them outside. I taught a brilliant recall but I didn't teach on lead walking, I taught him how to lunge and pull on a...

Oh thank you both for this post. Very helpful.

I didn't know you had used suprelorin. Am I right in saying Shadow is dog / dog reactive? If so did the chemical castration affect that? I really am just curious and hoping for some miracle, that by removing Cupars testosterone, he would magically like dogs. I have so many questions.

I don't wash my dogs, I hose them down after most walks. At the moment Cassie is not allowed in the fields, as muck seems to grow on her.

Oh Murffi is the most gorgeous dog, he's so good looking and so beautifully chocolatety, that's two spaniels I'm in love with, something I never thought I would say. My other love is my daughters Cocker spaniel, a beautiful looking but has the heart of an angel spaniel, Max.

You have my sympathy. I'm feeling blessed right now as my two don't chew but I remember the days when even the walls weren't safe.

Google small dog syndrome. Wow nearly a million results. If I hear that one more time, I think I shall scream. It's not a condition, it's a behavioural problem, the same behavioural problem I have with my labrador, but in all small dogs owners eyes, my dog is aggressive, he's not allowed to...

I'm so glad you found the thorn as if it had been left it can cause problems. I didn't know about the raw honey, learn something new every day. My go to is an epson salt poultice.

Wow £200 for a gunky eye! Any time I've taken Cassie I've been charged consultation fee of about £20 and the cost of eye cream. Green tea or plain old black tea is what my vet recommended just to help keep her eye clean, I've never heard of human eye drops being used on dogs, personally I...

I don’t think much of my detective skills, it’s taken me months.:computerrage:

I’m so pleased with the responses, thank you. Coming up to Christmas we hear of the puppies bought and the old dog thrown out with the tree and I just wanted to share how wonderful our oldies are. Cassie doesn’t know she’s old, she’s smarter and she proves , you can teach an old dog new tricks...

Cassie came to us when she was 5 years old, she's now 13 and a half. She can't walk much anymore, she's only got about 30% movement in her hips but with pain management and exercise she's an absolute joy to look after. All the family adore her and what Cassie wants, Cassie gets is the mantra...

Thank you all for the lovely welcome. I had popped back in to TLF and found everyone gone, it felt so lonely and I did feel sorry for new posters with no one to give advice. So here's to getting reacquainted to all the ones I remember and getting acquainted with new members.

Thanks to whoever (the post seems to have vanished) on TLF that left a clue to where all the regulars had gone, I have found you, whether you want me or not. So hi to anyone who remembers me and my two yellows, Cassie and Cupar
