taylor

Taylor has dragged a back foot today for the first time ever, dragged it so the top of her foot scraped the ground .... so immediately she was bed resting for at least 2 days (she is diagnosed hip and back knee arthritis) the little un still needs walking , which means leaving Taylor alone. How do you guys deal with differing walk needs without feeling guilty ?

Thanks guys. It really helps hearing others opinions particularly as ones own head can start accusing self of being a terrible mother Im much like the rest of you I shant go out and leave them after work ever ! And even when Im off for the day if I leave them for long I get tetchy (so many that are not parents think its "sad") One of my friends that works in the previous job is going to do a little with them when shes off during the week and I got up at 6 today walked them for 30 and when I got in from work at 4 they were spark out I also think they will benefit from a steady routine rather than odd hours here and there. I want them to be happy cos lets face it they give us so much I want to do my very best by them. Thank you again I studied your replies like a hawk

Guys, Im whining again I have just been offered a job with a fledgling business that promised to be a big business. At the moment I work for a big business but very unsocial hours. However the hours are very good for the dogs at present as I work into the night or from very early in the morning shifts. 6 on 3 off. (have to mention here the existing jobs hours have just been changed to a different start time every day of the week. ie earlies = 7 , 10, and 9 then 1400, 1200, and 1615 The new job is 9 to 6 monday to friday which is bringing forth the possibility of a social life for me (and dogs lol) but Im once again , worrying about them. What do you think? they would be on their own 5 days rather than 6 in a row ... it would be throughout the day rather than early or late. The positive is we would have set days and evenings off so I can do social or training classes with them and there would be more of a routine. I would be able to let them out at lunchtimes and pay a walker to come play with them or take them out a couple of times a week, walk them in the mornings and after work I hate to think I am letting them down in any way but as it stands just now all I do is work. Do you think they would notice much? Am I being paranoid or do you think I should stay put. I NEEeeeeeed some lovely fugee wisdom before I drive self crazy with worryings

I hope youre ok , im thinking of you and crying for you all at the same time

Just wanted to say hi Amanda and welcome, and well done

My eyes is wet Happy Day Barney boy

shes lovely

I hope your moms ok

Paddywacks ok today , poor little thing . Im not going back there for a while just to let him get over it. Thanks for all your good thoughts guys. I have recieved no reply from the email I sent to the park as yet

Iv written a letter to the park , see what you think ? Dear Sir or madam I am writing in the hope that you will rectify this situation as soon as possible. I was walking in Warley woods on the afternoon of April 27th and my little dog was attacked by a dog belonging to one of the people taking part in your cleaning up the woods programme. My dog is not the type to cause problems and was innocently walking past a bench where your “helper†was sitting with her dog. Her dog then launched itself at my little dog and gave him a puncture wound in his back before pushing him to the ground, banging his head off the concrete and making him scream with fear. As I looked towards the owner confused she explained it away by saying “ he came too close to the bench which she was sitting on†I am disgusted with her response. The excuse that she made for that behaviour is sickening , does that mean that if a toddler wandered up to her and said dog the animal would be justified in attack. It is a public park and I expect myself, and my innocent animals to be safe in that park. I am considering taking further action against either yourselves or the guilty party. I am very angry about the fact that you allow such irresponsible people to act on your behalf I will await your response

What do you think of this guys ? Walking the dogs today Paddywak was dragging behind a bit and got attacked by a dog. It had him on his back on the floor and really got him till he screamed. The reason ... because It was sat on a park bench with its owner and he got a little too close. I am so angry , it really upset him and he now has a puncture wound on his back. I looked towards the owner who said "she was guarding the bench" ... not a "sorry" or a "is he ok???" Im too nice and now wish i had punched the woman square in the jaw I feel like going back up there and attacking her !

Hows it gone , any news ?
