OMG Wendy....what can one say??? I can't tell you how precious and moving your testimony about Chelsea has touched me. What an incredible dog - and an incredible owner(s). o:) Thank you for finding the courage to write it all. I will need to re-read it to absorb all the gems hidden among the...

Well Eingana...I'm lost for words :sweating: and for a writer, that is saying something!!!! (w00t) Bravo!! o:) Sadie x

Me too Jenny. I'm surprised I have favourites already! I can't stand Eric Bristow though, and was hoping he would go first. Shame about Brian Connolly.... :ermm: Anyone fancy 3 weeks in the jungle???? LOL! (w00t) Sadie x

We had two nights with Jacques a couple of months ago, when his nerves were really bad. (It was just after the dog behaviourist visited!!). He did a sprinkle in his sleep and spent hours trying to lick it away! The next night it was a teaspoon but since then he's been fine. I couldn't be cross...

We're really enjoying the nightly shows on I'm a Celeb. How about you folk? Do you think Nadine deserved to stay or go tonight?? I'm rooting for Limahl (`cos I'm from Leighton Buzzard too!), Charlie and Ashleigh `cos they seem really nice people and quite brave! Can you believe Celebrity has...

This would be very helpful Jenny as I don't "mix" with show people but would love to attend local breed or open shows, when possible. Who knows, might even bump into a K9 member or two!! Thanks! Sadie x

Many years ago we went to Mrs Norfolks' kennels in Whaddston, where she bred GSD and whippets. She said the whippet pups kept the Shepherds in-line. Is that true? Are GS pups extra naughty? I didn't ask her what she meant as it seemed she expected me to know but at 20 I was very wet behind the...

OMG Eingana! What time do you start each day???? You sound like my sister-in-law...she shops for Xmas in the January sales!!!! LOL! Seriously, it is good fun, despite the queues and shortage of cash most years. We had Xmas pudding a couple of Sunday's ago, as we fancied a change from trifle. Now...

Thanks Eingana! I never thought of yogurt! I put chicken pieces in the Kong last night, and Jacques spent nearly an hour wandering around the house with it in his mouth! Just like prey!! He is a lucky boy in lots of ways. We "hide" little treats under cushions and covers throughout the day and...

We invested in a Kong on Sat and have stuffed it with chicken/salmon paste etc and Jacques loves it. Takes him 10 mins or so to lick out the contents but I'm wondering if we should have frozen it first?? Aldi do some super chicken pieces that aren't expensive and both Jacques and Sam loved...

Don't forget, if you have a favourite photo of your hound/s email it to me and I'll run off 4 for £1.50 including PP. All money for either JR Whippet Rescue or Scruples. You can either donate yourself thru PayPal or donate thru me... annetteshowler@yahoo.com After a good start things have...

Look at the whole picture. How you feel about the extra work that will be involved having another dog around. How your partner/family at home feels. If your remaining canine would benefit from a companion. Extra costs etc. If there are more ticks than crosses, then the timing is most def...

We dropped the midday, small handful of Wilkinson's `meaty dog treats` yesterday, and last night Jacques slept from 11.30pm to 6.30am this morning without stirring. (Sounds like baby talk doesn't it?!!) This is one reason hubby won't consider another dog, as Jacques gets him up 1-2 times most...

Is this a record, I ask myself!! For me it certainly is! How are the rest of the group doing, re Xmas 2012????? (w00t) Sadie x

We have noticed when ever we feed Jacques tit-bits or biscuit with added colouring, he never makes it thru the night. Even chewy sticks - anything that has been added to makes him loose and `needy`! Has anyone else noticed this? Sadie x

I feel for you Benchester. The pain you are feeling, is the cost of love. It feels wonderful whilst you beloved is with you, but when parted....it's really hard. I lost my darling Hannah aged 16, fifteen years ago. She was my best friend. The most gentle, loving whippet ever. So loyal and...

I have started meeting two of my 5 grandchildren from school as they pass the end of our road. I often have Kinder eggs or some new, small toy as a treat for them, but I often feel uncomfortable whilst standing wating. Just a Nana waiting for her grand kids but the stares and odd looks make me...

I have a friend who belongs to a local "Dog group" that go pack walking on a Friday. Now this is something to consider, but it would be a huge step both for Jacques and me! Co-incidentally, `Scruples` have a lovely three year old bitch in just now (Tilly, a cream whippet) who I would love to...

I'm not looking just yet but it is always useful to know how things are going! Thanks for the info and all your hard work in getting Misty settled. Sadie x

I did send you an email a couple of weeks ago Haycroft, just to get more info on the situation but you obviously didn't get my message. Glad Misty has found her forever home! :luck: Sadie x
