Going to Tenerife .....so can't take the girlies Flying from Glasgow, but don't want to take the girls out of my home area as we have a late flight back and would need to collect them next morning. Going to look at Brackenbank Lodge on Saturday to see what that's like, and also looking at a local lady who doggie sits - which I'd prefer, but its a dodgy time of year and don't know how she'd feel about 2 extra dinner guests at Christmas. Any other suggestions warmly welcomed

Just to say....most of them got homes and are now doing fine. Thanks for all offers

Hi, I'm hoping that somebody may be able to suggest some good kennels in Cumbria for my 2 girlies. They have never been to kennels before, so I am a bit nervous - and very keen to find the right ones that will treat them well and not make them feel they have been abandoned All suggestions gratefully received

Thank you ever so much - but aren't you too far away?

Thanks - I have sent you a PM with my details

Can anyone help please by offering homes to brown laying hens who are otherwise going to be killed at the end of the weekend. A local farm is clearing out (which I think is required by law after a year or so) and has already sent about 2500 for slaughter. However, some escaped during the capture operation and the farmer has agreed that if homes can be found he'll let them go that was rather than for (presumably) dog food. Apparently, they are over their "time" now and he can't keep them past the weekend. They are brown layers - about a year and a half old. If anyone can offer any homes I would be very happy - not sure if he would ask anything for them - if so it'll only be a matter of pence I'm sure, as I think they are actually charged these days for removal of birds for slaughter, so hopefully they'll be free - I am near Appleby.

You are not a numpty....but all those around you are..and they want you to be prime minister I wish all my DIY was finished...

What do you wish for Ian??

Just to say that we stayed at The Arches bed and breakfast at Whitby the early part of this half term - with 2 of our girls Zara and 6 month old Berrie (who'se housetraining is....errr..shakey...) .and who can both be rather boisterous. They were met with chewsticks and dog friendly areas suggested - they didn't charge for the dogs at all - but a donation could be given to the whitby animal rescue if desired. We would certainly go back - and the breakfasts were fab!!

WWWWWWWWWWWaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down , but lacks the nerve to talk with her. Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man. He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back. "Oh my, I am so sorry, " the woman says as she pops her eye back in place. "Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you," she says. They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they go to the theatre followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his. She listens. After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast. They had a wonderful, wonderful time. The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy is amazed. Everything had been SO incredible! "You know, "he said, "you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet? " "No, "she replies. . . . " wait for it. . . wait for it. . . . . . "You just happened to catch my eye."

Brilliant!!!!
