Simple and cheap as possible - want any money to be spent on enjoyable things for the family I leave behind. Dh and I have wills and life insurance as we have two little kids and want life to be as easy as possible for the adult left behind caring for two littlies. Hard enough for the adult...
It's interesting as his books come across as quite balanced, but it seems his tv shows (which again I've never seen , so can't comment on) don't so much. It's funny how you can get one view from a book, but another from seeing him in action. One of the many reasons I don't have a telly -...
Yep, get something specifically for cats to break down the smell - if you don't have anything special then I've found using dettol and then a few drops of tea tree oil in a little water can be good. Two main reasons for cats messing - habit and stress / other cats. So, if it's habit, then...
Hi
I've not watched him (no telly here either), but I have read several of his books after hearing such love it / loathe it comments re him on the internet. I agree with Lurcherman that instinct with dogs is great, but if you (like me) were getting a dog not having had one since childhood -...
I've been on here quite a lot in the last few months and you guys have been very kind and helpful. I finally have some decent pics of Sam to share. She is a 6 month old whippet and this is her at our recent trip to the racing for a wee run up the track (thank you STPWRC).
Poor Sam hates the car and drools like mad after only a few minutes. She usually throws up even after only a gentle 15 min drive. This is an improvement - she no longer whimpers nor drools while the car is stationery ;) . Hopefully, with age this will get even better (she's only 6 months)...
I worked as a waitress as a shy 17 year old. I found it tortuous, speaking to people, smiling, being friendly with customers. But, I needed the money and did it and did it well. The thing is, after doing it for a bit, I started to enjoy it and liked working with people, helping them, making...
There's a sort of park near us - it used to be scrubland with birch trees, very old industrial site. Then the council popped some nice paths and some seating in it and a good fence round it. It's like a dog paradise. Most of the dogs are off the lead and people generally speak. When Sam...
Daughter asked Sam the whippet to jump into empty pushchair while son was running around. Sam did, then sat there, quite happy, waiting to be pushed, I think. She'd had a big walk and fancied a wee rest on fleecy blanket.

Blimey, I've had sore knees from sitting on the floor at this forum, and I suppose you could get sore eyes from reading it too much, but an unwanted sex change seems a bit much, really. Thank goodness you are back to usual Susan.

Breeder recommended by 2 other breeders and then several chats on the phone and visit to house to view pups and parents at 5wks. We wanted a rescue for ethical reasons, but felt that with no experience of dogs (since dh and I were in our teens) and 2 wee kids (3.5yrs and 7yrs) a puppy would be...
We went whippet racing on Sunday and Sam had her first trial run. She did chase after the lure, but a bit half heartedly. Blooming freezing, then back home a lazy day playing games with the kids (dh at work in the afternoon).
