merledogs Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Evening. Marion - we've had very dry hot weather here for most of the summer. But we're never happy with our lot eh? Timmy has been to the vet - his lump is a Papilloma (wart) so nowt to worry about. Vet didn't even charge me for the consult cos he took literally ten seconds to tell me what it was Suzeannea - springers are every bit as hard work as collies, maybe more so. Having said that, I've never found any of my collies to be hard work - my friend's springers I couldn't cope with at all. Griff you do attract them don't you? I got a call from the hospital today - they can see me at the breast clinic tomorrow at 4.45 pm because they've added an extra clinic session. The hospital is literally at the top of my road so not far to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yantan Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 Excellent news about Timmy Our DW says she has more trouble with Springers than any other breed - by trouble she meant bouncy, bouncy, always eager to go so lots of pulling on lead, not listening to commands. I know probably down to owners not training them right. On the other hand she walks lots of Collies and they are all no bother. Griff you do seem to attract them! You must be sending particular pheramones out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 collies are great, as long as they are trained right. they are so intelligent, when I fostered them I had them taking the washing out of the machine, picking things up, but give them food with colourings and they go nuts. the main reason they came into rescue was because they were fed the wrong food. jerry lee isn't herself. cant always jump onto the sofa, doesn't want extra treats, just not herself. merlin is lay with her we are off to bed sweet dreams xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I grew up with a springer. He was a real character - had loads of energy and was a right grumpy fart Loved him to bits though - we lost him when he was 15. Hope your appointment goes well Alex Glad Timmy is ok Your area of Manchester must be getting better weather than my part Alex - it's been rubbish here, hardly had my roof down this summer Not much to report here, am struggling with my anti malarial tablets at the moment. They are giving me horrendous heartburn, I can't eat anything without pain when I swallow and gaviscon isn't helping Can't wait to finish them - think I have another 25 days to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzeanna Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Good news about Timmy, hope all goes well at the breast clinic Alex. I've spotted a lurcher on a rescue website, they are willing to let us foster him with a view to homing if he and Rosie get on...that's assuming I pass their homecheck. He's 15 months old, lovely looking boy. I've been watching Molly cat, sunning herself ON TOP of the summer house again. I give up with that cat, I swear she can dissolve herself and ooze through the mesh! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooster Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Am tempted to stop taking them to be honest - I got about 6 bites the whole time I was over there and most of those were on my first night before I had dug out my bug repellant I am even struggling to drink tea I'm not that bad eating salad, but anything warm or hot and I just can't swallow it without pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 That's not good Jayne. Is this expected side effects or a more extreme reaction? You could very easily become dehydrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murtle Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I stopped taking them when I hallucinated elephants at our tent 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have read up on them and I think it is a known side effect. I have tried taking them with food and a whole glass of water and it's just as bad. These are a medication for acne as well, so my skin has cleared up a bit, but if the dermatologist wants to keep me on them long term when I see him on Wednesday, he can bog off I'll nip in to a pharmacy and speak to the pharmacist at some point over the weekend and see if they have any other suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
