  1. My sister has just spent ages trying to catch a brown/tan male lurcher near the roundabout leading onto St Peters Way (A666)

     

     

    He was terrified and thin.

     

    She couldn't catch him even though a few people stopped to help :(

     

     

    Police have been notified and he was last seen heading up the central grassy bit towards Bolton.

     

     

    Have looked on doglost but can't see a similar dog.

  2. I should of added that the farmland I take the dogs on is not used for anything, no crops are grow or is it used for hay making, also there are no animals grazing :flowers: If we go on farmland that as crops etc or animals grazing the dogs are kept on leads and pooh is picked up. :)

     

     

    Is it not even cut once a year? Long grass cut once a year is a "crop" if it is collected.

  3. On farmland if they pooh miles away from the footpath I leave it, I think it's better of left than been put in the plastic bag and placed in a bin. :biggrin: :biggrin:

     

     

    Well, firstly your dog shouldn't even be miles away from footpath :unsure: and secondly when I cut my fields for hay it isn't very nice to have dog poo in the hay nets mid winter. A big bale of silage would be ruined by dog poo.

     

    Dog poo is nothing like sheep/cow/horse poo :unsure:

  4. Does that give them reasonable excuse should they do it? Because its expected?

     

     

     

    To your original question; no and no.

     

    To the quote above; since when did dogs need reasonable excuses? They aren't humans.

  5. Looks like you were spot on Border Collie, I've just been back to the page and did a 'Find on this page' search and there I was (I assume it's me anyway, LOL). Thanks.

    Don't remember signing it though, old age.

     

    :flowers:

     

     

     

    2073 now :biggrin:

  6. I once read that a farmer who pulled a lot of it out by hand suffered from liver damage because he absorbed the plant's juices through his skin - not sure how true that is but it was a news article.

     

    I'd err on the side of caution if I were you :flowers:

    exactly right, they did a study at liverpool uni. 15 mins it took from skin contact to showing up in the blood. :flowers:

     

     

     

    That is defo not ragwort.

  7. Will somebody PLEASE just take the puppy to Jacky. It's hardley going to be on it's own when she is at work. 4 dogs and a cat for company.

     

     

    .................which of the four dogs will be house training poopie? :unsure:

  8. Colostrum is only needed straight after birth. They can't absorb or use it after a certain time. Googled this;

     

     

     

    The first 36 hrs of a puppies life is the critical period nutritionally. Healthy puppies will nurse right away and then every few hours. The pups must nurse from their mother within 12 hours of birth to receive her antibodies against disease. After 12 hours, their stomachs will not absorb antibodies. After this first 12 hours, if the mother does not have enough milk, or if her litter is too large, then the pups' diet can be supplemented with commercial puppy milk replacer. Cow's milk is nutritionally inadequate for puppies.

     

     

     

     

    And it was off this site which looked quite good;
