Decomposing porpoise is a whole new level of disgusting. Well done Bert! Somewhat dissapointed you didn't attempt to volley it back out to sea in proper P&B fashion though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the opposite issue whereby we were forced into booking a kennel space, although it turns out that I'll unexpectedly be home, but my other half still wants him to go so not to cheese of the kennels people that we've never used before (but may need to in future). Maybe best just to pay them for doing nothing. Edited May 12, 2023 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Personal (and maybe perverse) perspective. A home boarder, I agree - if you’ve booked the space, use it. I’ve never used kennels; I’d rather stay at home with the dog. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Shug's dog walkers were asked if they knew of anyone who would take a female 3 year old lab..... Shug isn't all out anti but obviously his space has been invaded, advice on next few days from those who've introduced new dog to fold?

They'll settle down fine once they suss each other out and get used to the idea of living together. Just make sure they have separate beds to go to for some chill out time and remove opportunities for either of them to start guarding stuff (no toys lying around, feed separately for first wee while etc). She's a pretty one though, good for Shug picking up a nice young yin for himself! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieKTID Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Last year around this time I gave a crow a bit of a dog treat and he/she would meet me at the same place everyday and follow me for part of our walk, about a month ago he reappeared and follows us right round the park, yesterday a woman asked if the crow was with me I replied yes, she laughed as if I was joking so I bent down with a treat in my hand and he took it, the woman was suitably impressed, I feel like I should name the crow, any suggestions? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She slept in her bed last night so that's good as he's sleeps on......well in...under the duvet at times! Had them both out at 6am, was visiting a friend this morning, her mum passed yesterday so suggested a walk. Left shug at home to have some chill time. Had a flash point earlier as she tried to mount him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

54_and_counting Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 By f**k the rescue centres don't make it hard for you to rehome a dog do they, they constantly say they are reaching capacity etc yet when you show an interest in the dog, the fact you had a sneezing fit in 2003 goes against you lol (seriously though, we'd love to give another dog as long as possible in a good home, just getting one is really difficult and the missus is struggling as she was so used to having finn with her during the day all the time) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
