    I too had to Google prong collar. Anyone who uses something like that on their dog should be locked up. I have problems with choke chains and frequently tell people that there are far better ways to control their dog and do they even know there is a right way and a wrong way to put them on. :mad: I think a head collar is a far better way to control an unruly dog.

    Hoping Ted improves fairly soon Jane. My little dachshund had a ruptured disc two years ago and we decided rightly or wrongly, not to have it operated on. He had steroids and pain killers and rest, rest and more rest. At first he took one step, then two and just gradually built up. Once he could walk better I took him for short strolls and before too long he could go out with the others. I have to admit we thought we would loose him, not because he would die, but because we could not give him a quality of life. We researched wheels and there are lots of other aids available. He walks in an odd fashion, but never the less he walks and it was just sheer will power that got him through it. Throughout all of it he never lost his appetite or sparkle in his eyes.

    Meet Lyka and her owner's young son Kushan who ardores her. She was spayed using my £12 donation to Dogstar. I wish £12 could do as much good in the U.K.

     

    It took me a few days to work out how to post the link.

    Sam you have both given so much to Dogstar that your holiday is certainly well deserved. Hope you both have a great time. :pinkie: The next six months will be work, work and more work while you are running clinics, fund raising etc. I can't think of any couple that I admire more than you and Mark.

    We have sun now :pinkie:

     

    snow - here's the link to mail order trees: http://www.mailordertrees.co.uk/ and if you want old fashioned fragrant roses, I can recommend the David Austin ones which are lush and truly stunning. The website gives you a rating as to how strong smelling they are, but you can also get them other places slightly cheaper (like the Garden Centre Group) :flowers:

     

    Thanks for the links. I was going to ask you to repeat them and Snow did it before me. I had spent ages looking for the thread as I hadn't bookmarked it. Maybe I only imagined you had given the link previously.

    Yantan - you have my deepest sympathy as I am suffering with loss of memory too. :ohmy: I can remember starting school and things ten years ago, but often don't know what day of the week it is! I survive by writing lists. If I can't remember, at least I can be organised. :) Lists are my survival plan, how sad is that.

     

    I also have osteoarthritis in both knees and degraded discs. You would think when they were dishing out the aches and pains they could do it a bit more fairly. Lots more ailments as well, but what doesn't cause me pain doesn't exist.

     

    Must have had a great youth because I seem to be paying the price now.

    Forgot to say griff, you can pay quite a lot for a small plant, but I use mailordertrees.co.uk where you can buy a 10L plant for the same price as a 3L elsewhere. You will pay a tenner for postage on top so factor that in.

    I can't get this link to work. It says that the domain may have been overused.

    if anyone has a spare 10 minutes can you look at our new online shop and tell me if you find any bits not working or acting odd, its not finished yet but I did a bit last night and I think it working ( ish ) I have more items to add on including our very soon to be delivered car stickers which I am very excited about

    The car sticker is the same as my signature by the way :)

     

    It's working fine for me and will sponsor a spay when I next have the £12.00 needed. I think my husband is growing tired of hearing me tell him of the wonderful work you are doing.

    Just caught up with the topic on poor Bruno. I hope he is feeling much better now. Sending gentle hugs.

     

    I read up on the practice Joe Inglis works at and thought it was great, apart from the fact they do not do 24 hour coverage. I wish all vet surgeries were this progressive.

     

    I remember the original program when they were all doing their training. I particularly remember Trude vaccinating a dog and the needle coming out the other of the scruffed part of his kneck!
