I’m so sorry and can empathise with the heartbreak. You took that step to end Tyson’s discomfort. He would have thanked you. As I’ve said before, it comes with the territory. Thoughts with you.

Was it “The Dog Academy”? Didn’t think it was the ‘90s. Perhaps a bit later but I could be wrong - no longer a spring chicken.

Thank you, JoanneF. Will have a look.

Apart from those already described in the Forum, can anybody recommend an ‘upmarket’ dog friendly eating establishment near Bath where some friends (plus) whippet could meet for a lunch?

I can can but echo the Forum’s comments. We’ve all been there and can feel the pain. Afraid that it comes with the territory. I’ve only had rescues and I shudder to contemplate their previous lives. However, they’ve all given 150% back in love. Yes, it’s a void when they’ve gone but deservedly...

Like excuseme I get suspicious with regard to the buying and selling of pups. Just hope that the outcome benefits the pup and lessons have been learned.

My apologies. I can appreciate that it was a rant out of frustration with which I can empathise. I had major problems initially with my rescued whippet but those have abated to a great extent. Just a question of getting her trust but there’s always something ticking away in her mind - probably...

This is where I may be shot down in flames. You’ve stated that your dog would not display destructive behaviours infront of strangers and just be a perfect dog. As a result JudyN has made a pragmatic suggestion of making videos of his ‘normal’ behaviour when you’re in charge which would serve as...

Heart goes out to you. It’s a void, I know. We’ve all been there. As others have said, use the Forum if it helps - we are like minded.

I bought some “Burt’s Bee Balm” from Boot’s. Forgive the alliteration. Not sure whether it’ll help your situation. I use it to soften Mabel’s pads before I remove her corns. Sorry, I’ve just re-read your message. It’s not ‘specific for dogs’. Mea culpa.

What more could he possibly want? He’s a happy chap - what more could top that? Be happy for him (and yourself).

May have mentioned this before. I apologise if I have - our vets (part of a corporate) quoted me £800 for Mabel’s dental work. I went to à recommended independent vet who charged me £580 for the whole procedure. Furthermore out of hours emergency procedures from our (corporate) vets are carried...

Brilliant news. Congrats all round.

How’s it all going with Rosie and the little ones?

You could place the required weights in freezer bags.

Honestly, you ladies make me blush.

I’m not an expert but our whippet gets itchy during the grass season so I give her half an Apoquel tablet daily from March until October. This does work as, without it, she was scratching like mad and within a few hours of the first tablet the scratching stopped. Cheaper to buy a prescription...

Afraid that in my neck of the woods it’s the wild boar which present a nuisance. I’ve taken to avoid certain areas to walk Mabel in Spring. There have been casualties with dogs. When does control become cruel?

Happy birthday, Timber.

Collective noun for whippets - tangled bagpipes?
