Don't even mind the names so long as the people buying them are providing good homes and that's not a given for pedigrees either - seen a wretched husky today that spends its life either in a pen in the garden or on walks tied to a child's double buggy. :( I've had two crosses (lab x whippet and...

That's it! Kobolds! Dankeschon...back on the shelf in my brain again.

But were the salt and pepper ever seen again?o_O (There's a traditional German household spirit believed to go around stealing small objects...can't remember the name of it...appears to have been disappeared from my memory banks.:confused:)

Well on the good side our local Sainsbury's is refusing to sell fireworks this year. :) Let's hope it's the start of a trend.

Yeah I don't ever feed the hoggy kibble but buy tinned- though they seem to prefer Chicken Whiskas to virtually everything. Oh and ripe fruit...they like the brown windfalls...they like the big fat slugs on the brown windfalls...:eek:. You can construct a hoggy feeding station with bricks and a...

Lucky you! I used to overwinter underweight hoggies for a rescue. The deal is as already stated good quality meaty pet food (not fishy!) and/or special hoggy food. The one thing that everyone with a garden can do is provide exits from their own patch into neighbouring ones. Just a a small hole...

Oh should have added a 'confident' dog can be actually very anxious and is trying to appear bigger, better, 'arder in a strange place. He may rein it in once he realises he's home. Good luck.

I have two males and there is a bit of bickering over food, beds, toys etc. It can sound terrible but they've never actually harmed each other. If you feel you resident dog is stressed you could offer a 'safe place' where the newbie doesn't go. Maybe only the older dog comes in for sofa time in...

Fingers crossed! Best to get the full service while under. ;)Feet are the one thing our cocker is really difficult over!

Went to Anglesey last week- blue sky, warm breeze, beautiful people surfing and a nice German couple walking the coastal path who complained about the heat. They'd only brought woollies! Mild but showery on Wirral today- that's why we have weather not climate, I guess.

I think Jack Russell Lover has already made the Lancs/Manchester point. All I know is 40 years ago in this village (on Wirral) an elderly man had two black-and-tans that he was VERY clear were Manchester heelers- not Lancashire. It's very close to the start of the Manchester Ship Canal here so I...

There's a little terrier called the Manchester Heeler that is very like what you describe. Very rare now but I think were bred from your basic ratter just like JR's. So maybe a throwback?

OMG - Just couldn't do this. Banana cake sounds dreamy. OH is on a really low carb diet (there's diabetes in his family) so not a cake nor biscuit enters the house:(. The other night I had a really vivid dream about Bara Brith (it's a Welsh thing!) Was actually tasting the sultanas when I woke...

Could be allergy- a plant ,say, that he's walked through and trodden in. Though would expect a bit of itching. If you've stayed somewhere new could even be a cleaning product. Good luck with him anyway.

Emergency professional dog-sitter? (Will cost for a good one, of course :confused: )

Yeah I've noticed it's a good year for nuts- should be excellent sweet chestnuts soon too. Not a good year for squirrels though- there are fewer about, so wondering if it's another disease knocking them back. (I know people hate greys but it's not their fault they were brought over here and I...

The spaniel smells of some sort of fabric, cotton, linen something like that. Definitely a natural fibre. Sisal maybe? The corgi x smells of the last thing he rolled in.:mad:

:(

Ah but the things you like aren't reality but orchestrated TV. Big difference. (Love salted caramel too!)

Reality TV is no better than gentlefolk going to Bedlam in the eighteenth century to laugh at the deranged.:p
