Thank you for the replies. I haven't been googling 'tailgate' - couldn't think of the word! Barjo don't make one to ft a Kia Rio, but I am trying the other companies that googling the right word produced.

Can anyone help? I've googled all the word combinations I can think of, but all that comes up is a barrier for preventing a dog jumping over into the front of a car. I am looking for a company that custom-makes iron mesh gates that are fitted to sit under the back door of a hatchback car...

Well, I said I'd keep in touch about this, so here goes. I went away in the caravan to Lucy's favourite beach in Galloway, and, as its usually deserted, I could dry out loud if I wanted to, and I did. Several other doggy people I met were so sympathetic, and often I got them weeping for their...

Shewbert, your post is dated 1st November, and thank you for it, but if you look back in the thread you will see that my beautiful Lucy was put to sleep on 11th September. I did say that I would keep posting, but after almost two months I am still not handling the loss of Lucy very well. I have...

Bless! Only 10 weeks old and virtually house-trained during the day. That's brilliant. Folk may disagree, but I would just accept that as she is far too young to have control of her bladder for a whole night, and as I wouldn't want to be up all night, I would take steps to ensure that she...

Thank you Parly, I will keep posting about this, and about other things on this lovely forum, because writing here and receiving so much kindness from people who understand has helped. It's still hell, but the rational bit of me knows it WILL get better with time.

Sorry if this sounds a bit too easy a remedy, and I haven't had this problem myself, but I once read somewhere that you should clip a short lead on, say, in the garden, don't pick it up yourself, but just let her trail it round while she's playing. The idea is to get her used to it without...

Empty the smelly bean-bag. Buy the thick big memory foam mattress and lay the smelly bean-bag cover (or a piece of it) on top. With a bit of luck she'll scrabble the smelly bit out of the way in no time .

Chatterdog, thank you for that. It is so generous of you to think of me when you have your own past and future losses to bear and deal with. I will think of you too.This was taken quite near the end and the radiotherapy-bleached fur is visible on Lucy's poor neck, as well as the licked-out...

Was that a grey lurcher, and was his real-life name 'Tramp'?

Thank you all so much for your kindness, and I hope that you will all find more strength than I did for that final terrible decision. My dearest girl was put to sleep on Friday, and I am distraught and inconsolable. After I sent my original post she remained pretty much as I described then, but...

Hello, I'm new here with the worst problem of all. Everyone says 'You'll know when it's time - but I don't. My beloved Lucy has had a tumour in her jaw/throat which stopped responding to chemo some months ago. Her oncologist advised euthanasia 4 months ago when she could do no more, and there...
