  1. We're not far from MK and could pick it up for you.
  2. Happee Gotcha Day, it's mai Gottcha Day too. Ave a luffy time. Luf fwom Huni
  3. Happy Gottcha Day Honey. Can't believe it's been 4 years. So far she's spent the morning helping Dad in the garden and now she's just chilling out. Treats to follow. How different to the poor frightened little girlie who arrived 4 years ago today.
  4. You can get a cold calling block from BT called preferential calling. The details of how to do it are in the front of the BT telephone directory. I'm sure you can get it with other phone providers too. This has stopped 99.9% of these types of calls to us. In the last 2 years we've only had 2. When we told them this was a preferntial calling number they hung up very quickly because they can be fined very heavily if they call your number.
  5. Well done Teddy & Lyndsey. I remember the first time we met on a transport, you were just about to enter your first competition with Teddy. Hasn't he come a long way?
  6. Going into MK this evening, will keep my eyes peeled.
  7. So pleased he's found his forever home. We met him on a transport down the M1. He really is a lovely boy.

    Shelties

    My SIL had a sheltie many years ago and was advised to to stick the ear flaps down, I can't remember what with, nothing noxious though or I'd have remembered, but it didn't work. Other pups in the litter had naturally turned down ear flaps.
  9. Thanks for your advice it's gratefully accepted. Will see if we can invite a "friend " to visit. She is very obedient and we can stop inappropriate behaviour with the cats quite easily with a firm "No!" even when they're stealing her food. We have always been a 2 dog family before. She was very traumatised when we first had her and the rescue told us that they thought she might not be re-homable. At that time I don't think she was ready or able to share as she used to growl at any dog who came near us on walks. We would love her to enjoy the companionship of another dog, but the last thing we want for her or any dog we take on is for the re-homing to be unsuccessful.
  10. Our dog loves meeting other dogs and playing with them so we have been thinking about adopting a companion for her. She was a very insecure girl when we adopted her and is very devoted to and relies on OH. She becomes jealous of the cats when they sit on his lap, but this is only displayed by grumpiness. Although she enjoys meeting dogs outside the house, does anyone think there would be a problem if she had to share her home and Dad with another dog? What can we do to ensure a successful introduction to the family?
  11. I was charged £97 for a consultation excluding medication or treatment on Christmas day for my cat by VetsNow. Our vets don't do emergency cover and vets Now is the only emergency vet in the town. In addition the emergency surgery that had to be done on the same day for a urethral blockage was £650.
  12. Don't have the words to say how very sorry I am.
  13. I was thinking along the same lines, they do look well colour co-ordinated don't they?
  14. Here is HRH Princess Honey sitting on "her" swing seat in the garden being princessy on the bed Her maj Queen of the Nile (note the very modest tail) The only time she's really norty is when Baggins wants to sit in "her" dad's lap in the evening. She can be quite grumpy with him. Note the nose out of joint look on her face because she doesn't want to share "her" dad with anyone.
  15. So sorry to hear this. Run free Nancy.
  16. Glad you had a good day at show. Did you know that Ginga reported you to Chief Inspector Clint
  17. So glad you've got your foster lab, Elaine. I met the lovely but large Lenny today, he sure is the large economy size at the moment.
  18. This is Rastas (the handsome boy in the middle) who we delivered to his new OC foster family today.
  19. Would love to come and visit and meet your hounds.
  20. Sorry to other people if this is a bit long but this is for Mrs Oook. John's family moved into your house after doing a swap for their bungalow in Malcolm Drive for your house in Abbots Way with the retired couple who lived there. They had 3 young sons and Dad worked as service manager at Express Lifts which was behind your house where the new housing estate is. It was a happy family home and my in-laws were a real love-match. When Dad died aged 80 we found a letter he'd written to Mum (to be read on his death) telling her how much he loved her and giving her all the financial information she needed to know about bank accounts, etc. Until they were quite old, in-laws always had a dog in the house. OH & his brothers grew up with Spot a beardieX who I knew as an old gent. After he went to the bridge they had Joe a yellow lab. Mum never worked after her marriage and made a career of being a mother and home-maker. Even when the boys were at high school and grammar in the town they cycled home for lunch with their parents. Oldest brother also worked at Express Lifts as design and development manger and the Tower, at the end of the road, (or as Terry Wogan used to call it the Northampton lighthouse) was where he tested high-speed lifts. Until he took early retirement he still called in for lunch with his parents even though he and his wife live only a mile away. After Mum died the house was sold to the son of b-i-l's neighbour who built the extension where there used to be a single and a double garage. Three boys all had cars though rather ancient ones when they were young. The house has very happy memories for us and one of OH's favoutie photos was taken in the front room. It is of him, his brothers and Spot. It really was spooky to see the house on your post. When we met you on a dog transport a few months ago you asked us where Sainsbury's was, well it's quite convenient for Abbots Ways isn't it? We still aren't far away in a village just a minutes from junction 15. We both wish you Gook Luck in your nooo home.
