    Normal or Separation Anxiety

    Dudley gets upset if one of us goes out in the evening. Keeps looking out of the window, even with the curtains closed and just does not settle until we are both in. We try not to leave him alone. We usually shop on Thursday, the only time we go out together. Usually out about an hour and a...

    Utter Madness

    I like that, I am going to tell everyone who asks me what Dudley's breed is I shall say Boomer. It will fit as I am an old lady with a small fluffy dog.

    Utter Madness

    Nothing to do with dogs but my farmer brother in law says the same thing about bulls that are used on cows to make large beef cattle that the cow can't birth naturally

    Utter Madness

    Dudley is a cross Bichon x chihuahua. Both were seen. He was £200. The owner told my granddaughter he didn't think his girlfriend's chihuahua would mount his Bichon. He also said it wouldn't happen again as the bitch was being spayed. Dudley was just advertised as a cross breed. The...

    Reactive, unpredictable dog, please help

    We have an amazing field near us where we have a strange collection of dogs. Three months ago a St Bernard joined us, scared of people and other dogs. Field big enough for her to stay away from the others but still see them. Now she is happy to run with the others, including the little dogs...

    Muphys memoires

    I had a cardiac event which caused me to pass out in the street. Dudley was sitting next to me, my home phone number was on his collar so husband and ambulance were called. This led to emergency open heart surgery. He was my true hero and I believe he saved my life

    What do you look for in holiday cottage

    Never really complained about anything. We take, teatowels, dish sponges, towels, washing up liquid . Never use the dishwasher even if there is one. We did have to buy egg cups at one holiday cottage. Left them for future tenants. Over the last four years we have averaged five cottages a year.

    What do you look for in holiday cottage

    Looks great. Enclosed garden and parking are all we look for. Dudley won't poo in gardens so artificial grass no problem. He likes a look round when he gets there. Then is quite happy overnight downstairs in his bed.

    At my wits end....patterdale behaviour

    I don't agree with most of the comments on this topic. It is not OK for any dog to kill a cat or another dog for that matter. There are laws in the UK against fox hunting, hare coursing etc. With very large fines if caught. These dogs or hounds are bred to hunt. Most cats are in residential...

    At my wits end....patterdale behaviour

    I am concerned about him killing a cat. My daughter's neighbour had an extremely aggressive dog which killed one of her cats and savaged another one of hers causing a very expensive amputation. The neighbours excuse was the dog had to go in the garden when grandchildren visited because he would...

    We don't have a bath just a shower, but we do have a big kitchen sink which is a perfect fit for him

    Anyone else?

    There is a lady down the road who takes her Maine Coon cat for a walk on a lead. Actually it just usually climbs trees in the grave yard. She is totally away with the fairies, as my mum would say

    New Year madness

    Hope all your dogs coped with the fireworks. I am staying with my sister on their farm .Very isolated. Watched fireworks on TV. London and Edinburgh. Very impressive and apparently paid for by the British taxpayer don't believe I was asked if I wanted my money to go up in smoke

    New Year madness

    Thank you for your reply. Grandson goes back and forth to his dad quite often. First time granddaughter has been without us. They are 21 and 23 respectively, so I am sure they will have a great time.

    Lessons learned - if we are to do this again...

    Great answers. I will be 73 next week and Dudley is only three. Husband is 79. So we are quite elderly but can't imagine being without him.

    New Year madness

    My two eldest grandchildren are going to their dad in Amsterdam this year. They have been told many times about the fireworks and are looking forward to them. Luckily no animals with them or their dad

    Lessons learned - if we are to do this again...

    Looking at the answers including mine. How old is too old to have a dog? If you wait until you retire, which is around 67 now and the dog lives 12 to 15 years you are in your eighties when it leaves you. What happens then? Or what happens if you die first? I have arrangements made for Dudley...
