I understand where you are coming from - if they say no, try and negotiate 2 half days if that would be any good to you.

Internet explorer cannot find page, etc grrrrrrr

Smug people with brilliant ideas

Do you really want it now you have read the Ebay section of this thread?

I think I will join you. The cold weather, bugs, viral infections and colds, people coughing and spluttering and spreading it around. Traffic jams now the kiddies are back to school and back to work in general!

Good luck for the future Liz

Thinking of you all and sending positive thoughts x

What a fabulous pair! One doggie and one human that have both been through so much and come out the other side. Sarah you have worked wonders and your patience and kindness will never be forgotten by Parci. Here's wishing you both a healthy and happy 2008 with many more to come

Sorry, but that is just too funny for words on a Tuesday evening we are in fits here

Thats a polite way of putting it The man is a complete moron and actually scares me with his comments. He is on the radio station that we listen to and both OH and I switch it off if he is on.

What a beauty

That one has us all choking on our night-cap

What an absolutely fantastic story and how fantastic are you for doing this What a fab looking sweetie she is. Happy 2nd Gotcha Day

Fabulous news and great pics - more, more, more Congratulations and wishing you loads of happy times together x Welcome Home Peggy

After reading some of the comments I feel we are very lucky with our vet, I was always sure we were really. Our vet has been qualifed for 39 years and that makes him in his late 50's early 60's. He is still there most days and always in demand as he is so good, but employs three other vets - two Australian girls who seem very switched on as well. They always advocate getting insurance in case of accidents, but we tend to have a vet savings fund ourselves which we don't dip into for anything other than that - I know it's easy if you can afford it, but we are both working and make sure we do it as a priority. However recent charges have been:- Bitch spay £130 plus VAT Microchip £22 plus VAT 2 x-rays £50 no VAT Consultation for Ollie (nothing wrong) £8 plus VAT and calcium tablets 1p each Booster £22.50 plus VAT Repair hernia under GA £110 plus VAT To be honest we never know what he is going to charge and the only time we were shocked was when he sent x-rays to a bone specialist for comment and they came back with a £110 fee for a 10 line comment. The local out of hours place charges £65 standard turning up fee.

"Why oh why did Mr Kipling have to make them exceedingly good for humans?"

1. People who tie their dogs to the pushchair! Both my husband and I have once each had to come to the rescue of dogs and toddler because of this stupid irresponsible behaviour. 2. Owners who tie their dogs up outside shops. 3. Owners who wander around the woods with no idea where their dogs are or what they are up to leaving you to hang on to them whilst calling out "can you come and get your dog" because it is getting over excited around your own.

Did I just sit and watch that?

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous looks like you all had a brill time
