Talking of tv adverts - does anyone remember the one where a small dog was going along the street and lifting his leg to widdle on the car wheels when a car squirted water back at him.

Sensitive but also b minded. At least the ones we have/had exhibited this. Daughter reckons dogs are like their owners!

Aaaah bless. It is nice to see sympathy and support going the other way from dog to man rather than man to dog. That's my girl when anyone comes past although she does just manage to put her paw to the ground. I notice the pooch is a lurcher therefore part greyhound, We had lurchers before...

Our greyt girlie has pulled a muscle in her left front leg. I kept her in for a couple of days and am now taking her out for very short walks until she stops limping. She now doesn't limp when in the house but when outside every time she sees someone coming she starts to limp and if they are...

I haven't given it a really good soak. The very hot water seems to loosen the bits but they seem to migrate from corner to corner. I will certainly try yoghourt - again she is very fond if it but only certain flavours. The manufacturers also suggest baby food! Thank you Tinytom for...

I have recently bought a Lickimat for the pooch to keep her busy when I have to go out. I have been using cream cheese (as recommended and of which she is inordinately fond). She is not good at getting the bits out of the corners and the cream cheese seems to dry really quickly. I am the...

You are lucky your pooch eats. Our rescue greyhound has days where nothing will tempt her to eat. I did worry when we first got her but as the vet says she is in good nick I have stopped worrying so much

Well you are showing your age with the reference to the Woodstock festival. I thought I was the only one who remembered that. Of course I was very small in those days (I wish) and I had forgotten about Tiny Tom or was it Tiny Tim? Or was Tiny Tim in a comic strip. I do wish you hadn't...

Thank you all very much for your kind thoughts. He is coming home next week so I won't have much time to post anything but hopefully I will be back. A promise not a tbreat.

Things now on the slippery slope downwards unfortunately but thank you for your good wishes. Pooch is helping to keep me going,

My apologies for not replying earlier. My husband is now in hospital and life is rather hectic. I have tried her with yoghourt which she will eat intermittently. I have started just to give her dry kibble during the day then a couple of chicken thighs on a night (better fed than me!) and the...

I had forgotten that she is quite partial to Dairylea (mixed with crushed calming tablets) and will definitely get some Primula next time I go shopping.. Thank you so much for the suggestion. I am at the stage where anything that works is worth a try even though dairy is not supposed to be...

I don't think she would clear fencing unless she got a fright but the nearest place to us that rents out enclosed fields - perhaps I should say the nearest one I have been able to find near us - is about three quarters of an hours drive away and I can't drive that far these days. Would that I...

Thank you Inka and Hemlock for taking the trouble to reply. The only thing about her background that we were told when we got her from the rescue people was that she had been kept in a hut in the middle of a field with two other dogs and that she was the most nervous of the three. We have had...

We have an extremely nervous rescue greyhound who after two years has quite a lot of confidence in the house but who employs the ostrich solution (I am not going to look at you so you can't see me) when we are outside. I haven't yet attempted to try to train her to come as she spooks so easily...
