I found a few references to this on a search, but no threads, so starting one. Sully is just starting on those journey at 7 months, having done some initial Gun Dog training which accelerated very quickly. My DIL had the first session on Sunday and no 1 was ditching all slip leads which of...

Lilly 💔 1st May 2010 - 30th Sept 2025 The bestest girl.

A proper introduction to Sully my "Grandpup". Born on 5th June and been "home" with Scott and Eilidh since 7th August, and clearly already wormed his way into everyone's hearts. He is a golden retriever. Coming home on Mum's knee cos he was a bit big for the puppy box 😂 Hyper after meeting...

I haven't posted much about Lilly lately as there seem to be more negatives than positives and I'm worried that her time left is short. Probably over the last year her mobility has slowly declined and it seems to be more rapidly progressive over the last couple of months. Apart from her...

Lilly is really struggling with her arthritis and mobility, as well as her bowel control. It can all be quite hard. She does still enjoy her walks but doesn't really manage very far. We are away for a short break, well a week, in about a month, and I have been considering whether a buggy may be...

I know this has been mentioned a few times on the forum and the snatches I saw seemed quite positive. Just looking for opinions on it for those who have used it for a while With Lilly we have gone through the usual NSAIDs, Pardale V (co-codamol), Tramadol, Gabapentin, Cartrophen...

Wasn't quite sure where to put this. Is a trip to Crufts a shopping event, about dogs/training/showing, or a holiday? Perhaps a bit of all the above. Looking for advice as a visitor without dogs. Going on the Sunday, not sure if we get kicked out at lunchtime for the final judging bit (although...

OH and I are on a short break. No dogs, no kids. Home today, later this afternoon Any guesses?

So sad to see the passing of Edward this morning on FB. Wendy and Edward were real ambassadors for labrador rescue. Rescuing of humans as well as dogs. I think he had some serious liver problems as well as mobility and joint issues. Run free Edward 💔

Millom Coastguard Rescue Team posted this on FB and it has been shared by many. Could rock up in other places too. I hadn't heard of it before, they look just like parsnips.

Shamelessly stolen this from a FB group. And go.......!

If anyone is interested. "Up to 50% off". Not quite at the "only if you are a size 3.5 and don't mind bogey green" stage just yet. Tempted, but not needing a new pair right now. Muck Boot Sale

We have been clearing out the Dog Cupboard and wonder if anyone uses Previcox and would maybe want ours just for the postage? We aren't going to be using it for Lilly any more.....low dose not working and full dose upset her tummy. It's well in date. There is a full box of 30 tabs (Aprill 22)...

Couldn't resist this

Has anyone been in touch with Lara, and our friend snuffly Pig? Missing stories of snufflings, weaselsings and toad licking. Last seen on here in December and nowt on FB. If you can hear me @Lara_Pigletina do check in. Willow must have sat her A levels by now. It's been a long year....

Had Lilly at the vet today for a checkup after asking for a further prescription of Rofecoxib (Previcox). We started her back on this before Christmas as we felt she was a bit flat on the Tramadol, so weaned her off her steroids for her lupus so we could retry NSAIDS. Her lupus incidentally...

Watching something earlier about the top 10 Christmas Films/Movies. I missed the first half. Currently watching Love Actually (it was on the list, not convinced I have seen it) So, what are all your most favourite FEEL GOOD Christmas Films? I need to make a list.....

This isn't new. I know it has been discussed before, but one of the reasons I never liked the spot on treatments (oh yeah ........and the fact they don't work well against Ticks for us). I know Bravecto orally has its issues, but it's still my poison of choice. I thought this article in The...

So this morning we headed off on holiday with the two dogs and the Mother-in-law (she is staying for a few days then going home on the train). Helmsdale is around 50 miles from John O'Groats, and on the North Coast 500 trail. It is a very pretty fishing village and our cottage (Kate's Croft) is...
