houndzrus Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Morning Woke up to a power cut Found a few torches/lamps but think we must be a bit more organised in future. Power has been restored, but is a bit flickery. Cherry stayed by the gas fire, but Jack carried on regardless Need to seset all the clocks and timers now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel n Hardy Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 just been on local news a dog has drowned on the Taunton-Bridgwater canal after falling in and being trapped under the ice. How very tragic, but why do people let dogs offlead if there is a frozen pond/canal nearby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 morning. I watched an owl this morning while I unlocked the kennels. It was only just starting to get light so presume it was after a meal before sun up. Everything still white and frozen here. Ive had enough of playing skating on ice each morning just to unlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I noticed Wispa staring intently at a point just above my head while I was eating my breakfast. Aargh, descending harvestman spider getting ready to abseil on to either me or the cereal Thanks, Wispa, your good deed for the day Very strong wind here, and we are braced for a blizzard this afternoon and another one at 3 in the morning. Then complete thaw from tomorrow EFD has put on a bit of weight thank goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yantan Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 A man drowned in a river in the North East on Sunday after his 2 dogs went thro the ice. He fell thro after he went to rescue them. Passers-by attempted to help him by holding out a large tree branch but he refused to let go of his dogs to take hold of it. They all perished I cannot understand anyone letting their dogs onto the ice George had a seizure in the early hours of yesterday - that's 2 in less than a month which is a bit worrying given the level of medication he is on for the epilepsy. The meds do seem to have stopped the cluster attacks so at least that's something. He did recover quite quickly too and even managed a short walk yesterday. Owl it's good to hear that Vicky is improving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spins4me Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 How very tragic, but why do people let dogs offlead if there is a frozen pond/canal nearby Last week I met a couple walking three Springers off lead alongside the lakes in the park. Through gritted teeth I mentioned how dangerous the lakes are with the ice and dogs etc. Did it quite gently so as to get a hearing and not have them stomp off. Told them about the little dog that went through the ice and drowned in the lake last year. The woman then pointed at one of the dogs and said, quite cheerfully, "Yeah, he's just been in! The trouble is if they get into trouble then we'd have to go in and get him and that could be dangerous." FFS!!!! I could not believe what I was hearing. OH dragged me away at that point. There's notices up all round the lakes warning about the ice - maybe they should have a picture of the poor dog that drowned last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 to my fluffy friend George, glad he made a good recovery. Wispa's Stress-Less magnesium tablets arrived, and she has an almost feline skill in extracting such things from any titbit they are hidden in. I pounded a tablet up and mixed with butter and she sucked the butter off and spat the magnesium out. Eventually a mixture of soft cheese and tripe worked. Must get out for a while with her before this afternoon's promised blizzard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemstone Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Morning. I will tell Darren that you all think he is stupid. Since the incident with Toffee, we have avoided the pond or kept the dogs onlead near it but you don't always think of these things in advance....

Julia, there is a big difference between being caught out, it happening and then you taking measures to make sure it doesnt again, and people who are very aware and are blase about the fact they will have to deal with it if it happens. Many people who arnt dog lovers would probably say Darren was stupid, and the rest of us would probably do exactly the same and go in after our dogs. But now Darren is aware of the risks, he isnt taking your pair back for the same thing to happen again. There lies the difference between stupid and caring owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
