Stinky rubbish /fox poo

If we're going that road then it's dead fish on the beach for mine!

My fella loves clean fresh sheets on my bed, he goes and rolls around, wagging his tail and wow wowing, until he's got every inch.
He also likes stink!
Little bitch loves stink!

Ouch, poor bailey, hope he's ok.
We had a grass seed pop out of Tiffi's paw few weeks back, left a big hole and got infected, took ages to heal.

Fish guts and rotting seaweed are a particular favourite of the JRT. Take your eye off her for a second and bam stinky dog with a smirk on her face trotting home quite delighted with herself.

Yeah that sounds quite like my two :P

Or the best is when Jake farts he always decides to then try and roll around in the smell of it!

The Lola dobie is giving me major heartache these days. She had a slipped disc in her back last year, and it has since transpired that it was caused by an incipient tail-bone infection, from her docking as a pup. Goes without saying I'm furious about the late docking addition to the bill, letters sent and all that.

Anyway, the darned infection keeps breaking out repeatedly, with resultant fibrosis and all that, and is being treated by antibiotics each time. I saw on a documentary how a study treated a lot of persistent lower back pain with a long course of well-targeted antibiotics, and suggested to my vet, could that be a possibility for Lola? He says he's reluctant to try it, as the suggested course (100 days) is so long, and if it turned out she couldn't take the whole course, we'd have burned our bridges anti-biotic-wise.

However, Lola is losing a lot of strength with each repeated episode, so much so that her hind-end has collapsed on her a couple times in the last few days. Not sure if she is brewing another infection break-out; will bring her to the vet Monday morning to be sure, but I do know it's only been a couple months since the last, so things do seem to be worsening faster now, and not sure if maybe we should try the make-or-break long antibiotic course.

This wee dobie is such a sweetheart, everyone we know is happy to have us bring her if we come to stay. She's breaking my heart right now, as I know we can't have her terribly much longer, because this is clearly getting worse. Just wondering, would others push to try and evict the bone infection, or can anyone think of a reason not to, right now?

Tomorrow when it's really quiet in the house I'm going to have a mini photoshoot with my chinchilla Gonzo. Any sallvagable pictures will be posted in the picture thread hopefully he doesn't destroy the back drop !

This is the first time that the cats haven't been put out with us after a show, normally we are ignored for a day or 2 but they are very happy this time

Just shared it on Facebook. I LOL'd a lot :D:D

Didn't get around to photographing Gonzo after, maybe tomorrow. Moone is curled up on her bean bag with all her toys. Out of all the toys I bought for her at the pet expo the only one she's playing with is the free frisbee from aliance! Typical ! She's asleep with it in her paws haha

Max seems to have separation anxiety which makes me wonder if maybe he was dumped/abandoned before he arrived on our doorstep.
He absolutely hates being alone, at night time Poppy has her crate in our room, which is upstairs, and Cinnamon usually sleeps upstairs too, which leaves Max downstairs.. he's not too confident being upstairs often and he howls the house down once we're all gone.
We also were away for a night (afternoon till early the next morning) and we came home to find he had wee'd on our bed (all over my side).
Going to invest in some feliway next payday but I'm not really too sure for what to do other than that

Strange request but would anyone know what I could do with a few years of issues of animal related magazines? It's a shame to just throw them in the bin or burn them after spending so much on them and keeping them all but there taking up room and they have to go. Don't want anything for them obviously but has anyone any suggestions as to where I could bring them or anyone who might possibly want them? They're mostly Dog's Today, Your Dog and Your Cat, must be a stack about 2ft high :eek:

Maybe contact a few of the local rescues and see would they have any use for them? Sometimes the smaller rescues do jumble sales/car boot sales (although more so during the summer) they might be able to make a bit of money out of them.

There was a flashmob in work lol!
