Oh Sarah, you know I'm with you on this. And you know I know a bit about how you're feeling. You are doing the best thing you can do for all of your dogs...you know you are, but I know that doesn't make it feel any better. My heart goes out to you. You are being very brave and thoughtful. I'm here if you need to chat

How lovely and stylish! It matches your collar wonderfully! You are a fashion icon!!!

***thud*** How gorgeous are they? I have a complaint however. Not enough photos of their kissable puppy tummies

Awwww! I appear to have developed leaky eye syndrome (will have glass of wine to remedy this affliction). Well done Mason! Well done hoomans! And well done Helly for already offering this lucky one a recuperating place!!

I was looking at your avatar and thinking that she looks a bit gorgoeus and beardie-ish!!! Bless your old beardie at The Bridge, my Sorrel is 5 and a half. She acts like a grand old lady and the Queen Mother though! You'd think she was 108!!!

Yes! A brown one, via Maggi/Southern Beardie Rescue! xxxx

Sorrel travels with a harness attached to a seat belt. In OH's car this is on the back seat and she would much prefer to be without the harness, but is now used to it and can lie across the back seat in the same position as she would without a harness. My car is a 2 seater sporty number, and at first she wasn't keen on being in the front seat, but is getting better. I put a bean bag in the seatwell that is the same height as the seat (I don't care about my street cred, just want my girl to be comfy!), so she can lie down with her chin on it (she is still in her harness). My car is a convertible and she prefers it in the Summer when the lid is down...she doesn't sit up and so doesn't get the wind in her eyes and ears (if she did I'd keep the roof down), but she seems to love the fact she can smell the outdoors as she's moving. Here we are being Thelma and Louise.

I'm so sorry Safe and gentle journey to The Bridge sweet Kass

So sorry. Safe journey to The Bridge King. No more pain sweetheart.

And you say she had other injuries too? Words fail me. Well done to you...there really must be two species of human beings, as the people who make these kind of things happen can't have the same genes as us. Bless her, willing her to pull through this.

Well done Ange....burning the midnight oil getting all those posted! So many fab photos! What lovely pets we Fugees have!!! I wouldn't like to judge either

OK, I've just emailed 6 photos very quickly! I think they're all a bit too small (maybe they will all look like pet hamsters ) but hey, ho, it's the thought that counts!! Paypal done too!!!!!

Oooo, is it too late to enter? Or do we close at midnight?

Oh, I forgot to say that Kate was also mentioning how stressful the Christmas situation is for dogs, and we need to be aware of that, which again was a good insight that wasn't followed through.

I watched this this morning - at no point in the interview with the mother was it mentioned that the girls didn't know the dogs were in the kitchen when they went in alone (ie, kids unsupervised with dogs) and therefore it was avoidable. The mother was very good at mentioning it was about one specific dog - but did also say that it had shown no history of aggression... What I found particularly interesting was that when Kate Garraway was interviewing Mr Numpty MP she mentioned that her little girl had been bitten by her mum-in-law's westie on Christmas Day and it was therefore not just about big breeds, he seemed to brush over that. He even still mentioned that little dogs can't do much harm, and the old chihuahua argument was trundled out. I thought it was good of Kate to bring up what must have been a bit embarrassing for her, and definitely was to her mum-in-law (she said so) to illustrate a point. It's just a shame Mr MP had his prearranged lines and was not going to deviate from his speech. Even the Mum of the girl injured by her rottie said he was talking rubbish.
