I've always wondered (well maybe not always) why dogs don't cry near chopped up onions

I've never had any luck even with pints and pints of very strong salt water and mustard with Purdie (she drinks it willingly and doesn't even retch) so I've made a note of the washing tablet idea as she's got into so many scrapes like this as she's so resourceful (and others around me so careless with what they leave lying around), thanks for the tip. Hope your norty doglets are fine and well.

*slinks out of thread quietly, realising her and Purdie-Monster don't quite belong here...*

Should be fine but if in doubt ask your vet to ring the Poisons Bureau and they can calculate it exactly. for you, I've no doubt they'll be fine as it's such a small amount.

So very sorry Wendy She was a special girl

Safe journey to the Bridge Maddie

Looks like fun even if you've invented new rules! That's the main thing!

Blimey, that is great news

That's great Jessy, thanks. Do you have any advice as to how I'd find a reputable walker?

Holy crap. Don't suppose you recorded the phone call and got the name of the puppy-drowing man did you? Gobsmacked, and not much shocks me on rescue boards anymore.

Good work!

Hi there, does anyone here have a dog aggressive dog that is walked by a walker? I'm thinking this could be a big problem but if not, how much am I looking at paying a professional walker (I'm in Birmingham) daily and what should I look for? Purdie would learn to accept most dogs given a bit of time with them but I've no idea what dog walkers are prepared to do (I'd also need to check (s)he knew how to handle potential situations with other dogs, how do you "interview" a walker?) Thanks.

I agree with this, even a qualified vet reading something like this on an internet forum could easily give the wrong advice. Sending healing thoughts for King

One of Purdie's is Trouble by Pink too

Great pic of Charleyfoo at the end

That's interesting, not what Purdie has though (no water involved, she won't even pee in the rain!) - she gallumphed off my lap - someone went to the kitchen - and landed badly against the coffee table. Very scary but fortunately not broken * She seems to be getting slightly better and her attempted wags are a bit higher than before when she realises she can't wag properly, so fingers crossed she's on the mend. *her tail, not the coffee table I meant

How upsetting for you Sending healing thoughts for her

orr mebbe yew av gott myne now?

Purdie did this to me once when I was away and had left her with my housemate, she ate 5 days' worth of food in one day, very worrying. She was hungry again by the following day but it took a few days for her tummy to go down and get back to normal portions! So worrying for you, glad she's okay

Happy birfday gorgeous lad
