merledogs Posted June 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Morning The weather's been pretty good all weekend, despite the forecasts, and today is a beautiful sunny morning. Just the sort of day to spend in the garden, not go into work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingipops Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Early start for me today.... the upside being an early finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Found and returned a lost dog to her owner this morning. Couldn't do the same with the loaf of bread sitting in our front garden and the two outside in the road - I think that the milkman must delivery bread early in the morning and the fox cubs have been having a game again.

suzeanna Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 We were walking the dogs early this morning when I realised we were being followed by a small black and tan terrier. I managed to coax it to me and went back the way we'd come to see my nutty over the road neighbour (and yes, she is!) standing by her door looking bewildered as to why the dog wasn't still in the unfenced front garden. Arghhh! We live on a busy road, bus route with buses every 12 minutes both directions, how long before the poor little thing gets run over, I wonder? It's never walked, I know that for a fact as although she told me before Christmas they'd got a pup I've never seen it until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesB Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Good morning chaps, it's a beautiful day here too. I'm having a poorly animal day. Horse vet is coming to do some acupuncture; and little Peggy Mount, the last of my three ex-batt hens, is looking a bit off-colour so we might be having a trip to my other vet later. Have been wondering how Jazz's mum and Kats' FIL are this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzeanna Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Jazz..for your sake as well as your mother's, if she can't recover I hope she has a quick and peaceful passing, waiting for the inevitable is agony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 this is when you find out who your friends are. I have more than I thought to support me which is lovely, including you lovely people xxx now then. I know the answer but dont want to agree with myself, so ill ask here. you know they say dogs can smell cancer? well... trudy the yorkie keeps sniffing freddies belly then attacking him,but he will fall over and they they fight biting faces.if shes got her head under him,he will run then fall over,see what I mean? anyway .... I had a feel ...... and hes got a lump the size of a satsuma in his belly. if I took him to the vet for a checkup, weather he said it was cancer or not,what do I do about her attacking him? it wasnt every day, might have been weeks inbetween, but now it can be every day. Im keeping them seperated if im out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Jazz i think you need to get freddie looked at.... at least you will know one way or the other as for your yorkie attacking him..... could you remove her when she does it and pop her in another room for a timeout? hopefully she will realize it is not acceptable behaviour..... my dog went through a stage of going for my dad when he went near my mum..... she learnt after the 4th time of being removed what would happen if she played up. not what you need at the moment with your mum being so ill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Jazz I'm sorry you are having such an awful time. Sending peaceful thoughts for your mum. Some dogs do have a talent for sniffing out cancer, but if Trudy is anything like Rosie she might also be interested in anything that smells gross, like an infection or similar. I think you'll have to get the vet to have a look at Freddie's lump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
