    Go on the jackers! I have a very good ratter here and she seems to be passing on her trade to Little Dude

    Yep jacks are fab... The yoke was nearly as big as jazz but no problem to her, they seem to have a system going now, Minnie flushes and jazz catches and dispatches, fascinating to watch in a creepy Yeuch kind of way :D

    I've seen my lot working as a pack to hunt things and totally agree, amazing to watch but quite creepy! Ellie manages to dispatch them all by herself but she has the patience of a cat and literally waits for hours to get them

    My niece's playhouse has (had!) a little chimney on top. I was woken up at 5am by the sound of it complete with all the felt on the roof attached to it smashing into the dog run :eek:.

    No need to disassemble trampolines completely, they won't go anywhere if turned upside down so the wind can't catch them ;). Safety net's would need to be taken off though.

    Never thought of turning them upside down, this one was one of the big ones complete with safety net attached. Said he had it well tied down last night, it's gone now anyways I'd say as the legs were all bent. So lucky it didn't go the other way towards the main road or across another few fences and through the neighbour's conservatory. That wind was scary though, never seen or heard it as strong as last night or this evening in the 7 years were here. :eek:

    Do share, I have the flu, have an exam to study for and hair standing on top of my head so have no intention of going to the shop to get the paper. Guessing it's dog related? :-(

    Oh no. Bloody rags, bet I can guess which one too. Bet it'l be the usual tripe in it, no disrespect meant to the child I don't like hearing of anyone attacked but it'l be the usual bullsh*t in it.

    That's exactly it, obviously it's terrible the child was hurt but the term devil dog really riles me up.

    Ah it was on dailymail yesterday - brilliant comments thou as always from the readers...well most of them anyways.:p They run stories like that all the time with their file photo of a rottie with it's mouth open probably to catch a ball or treat or something - wow vicious :rolleyes: but the comments on a whole are more sensible and well rounded than the paper's point of view

    Posted this on FB a while ago, in regards to our adopted cat Blackie (who we now call Brickie since he is a big solid square cat).

    Wondering how to turn a semi-wild, shy and startled outdoor cat into a friendly, naughty, house-exploring pet cat? Smoked salmon. A tiny scrap of smoked salmon. It's crack cocaine for cats. We can't keep him out of our rooms, or the kitchen, now. He's been on the kitchen worktops and knocked things flying, been in boyfriend's room at five a.m. and caused a crash, wandered into my room while I watched TV, curled up in my lap and clawed my ankles, scratched the stairs, got into the kitchen dustbin and is now asleep under boyfriend's bed. Three cheers for Brickie and his salmon addiction!

    Blackie wandered into the kitchen really shy, when I was making smoked salmon for lunch (50 cent reduced to clear, can't argue with that), he gave a little meow, and I was so proud of him for being so brave as to come into the kitchen, that I rewarded him with a little sliver of salmon. Then he was rubbing against my legs and purring, so I bent down and gave him another little piece. Then he turned into the monster described above!! Love the Brick Cat!

    Aaages ago we were talking about dog guards and I mentioned I had a halfords one and I liked it. WELL.. am I glad I got that one - the other evening I jumped out of the car to open the gate, went to get back in and I was locked out, engine running, phone and bag inside :eek: Luckily my mum was home and I had the spare key in the house..went out but no joy with the key in the driver side door so I ended up getting in from the boot lol! So I was glad of my easy to remove dog guard!! Also I was glad that I drive a big jeep with a huge boot and I'm short because it made things a bit easier too!;):p

    Horray for being small! It comes in so handy so often, almost makes it worth putting up with being called "tiny", "skinny" and "shorty" all the time... almost! I make a point of not squeezing into small spaces for the ones who make fun of my small stature when they need me ;)

    I hate locking my keys in my car!! Glad you had that particular dog guard too!!

    I miss my dogs! I've. Even away since early sat and go home tomorrow ( mon) but I really miss my dogs!
    I do this trip regularly to see family in the uk and bring my daughter to the orthodontist but my jazz is under the weather at the minute and I'm finding his trip really tough :(
    Think I'm driving my dad up the walls as I've rung him twice each day to check how she is.... It isn't anything serious (hopefully) but while she's on medication I should be the one administering it :o

    That's heartbreaking!!!! I think if you bring all or most of the pieces into Central Bank they'll replace it.

    Really? Is that in Dublin? It'd cost more on petrol to get there!

    Well my springer Boe has surpassed his previous record today... We have had 16 poos so far :eek:

    Poor guy seems to have a touch of colitis back, he hasn't had a dose in about a year... Bland food for him for a few days :mad:

    Jazz is also in the wars but with her it's a temper thing, there is a dig who occasionally comes to training who she absolutely HATES, her way of displaying this is to do everything she can to kill him, she got herself so worked up she snapped at her best friend! That earned her 10 minutes in her crate with me ignoring her, she is spending the evening now in her home crate so she doesn't take her bad mood out on the rest of my lot :mad:

    :( I saw a thing on tv once - a dog in the uk ate a wad of cash - it was still legal tender if they had the water mark thing and some other part so the guy collected all the poos in a bucket of water and fished out the bits he needed!! GROSS lol

    So today, coming up on two months in, did dexter finally realise that his kennel might be a nice place to nap during the day. he's been having his breakfast and dinner in there every day to get him happy to hop in and out but he's been sitting at the glass door all the time, and never uses it for shelter or anything. finally, today, something has clicked, hopefully it might dawn on him to start using it for shelter now too.
