Re: Dog Park "Right of Way"
I'm not in the US, so I can't account for 'local custom', but I agree with Jacksdad. People with dogs who can rub along together shouldn't have their dogs' enjoyment curtailed by dogs with different needs. Apart from anything else, there aren't enough hours in the day to walk to the dog park, see an...

Re: Teeth
Thanks Nettle :D I need it to get hot and sunny again so he can lie in the sun panting! I'm going to get some dog toothpaste and have a go at brushing them anyway. I did it in the past and once I found a toothpaste he didn't spit out he didn't object... though he didn't make it easy as he just wante...

Re: Teeth
I think I panicked yesterday with the thought of Jasper with toothache and the joys of going through treatment... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48486828107_2399fccf53_c.jpg Maybe it's just down to it being overcast today, but it looks a lot less red than it seemed to yesterday. Just possibly, ...

Teeth
When he was basking in the sun today, and panting a little, I noticed that Jasper's gums towards the back of his mouth looked red, with a redder line running along the gum margin (one side only). One of his back molars looked discoloured - but I had thought that was just build-up of tartar. I notice...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
It should be fine...... We're so used to avoiding potential problems, and because he can flip from 'I love you and can I have your wedding cake?' to... well, yeah.... :shock: so quickly, we err on the side of safety, especially when children are involved. Actually, I think all the children will be G...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
DS2 & GF have fallen in love with a wedding venue about 40 mins drive from home, with the event running from Friday morning to Sunday lunchtime, where there are lots of self-catering/B&B rooms for guests to stay, surrounding the courtyard where they'll no doubt be carousing into the small ho...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
The instruction manual for mine is an online pdf over 250 pages long :shock: I struggle with focusing. I'm getting better and have managed a few cracking photos of bees on flowers, but I was trying to focus on a shield bug sitting on some catmint that was swaying in the breeze yesterday and it insis...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
Very nice pictures.... must be a good camera? Yep - DS2 is into photography and he recommended it for me. It's a compact digital and has more controls than the Space Shuttle console, but he reckoned it would give the best results even if I just point & click. But now I feel it's wasted on me, l...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
I'd love it if I could persuade Jasper to use a paddling pool in the summer to help him cool off... I've taught him to stand with his front legs in a shallow trug (I'd need a much bigger trug or a proper paddling pool for him to get all four legs in at the same time, but thought this would do for st...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
Interesting... OH is back at work today and Jasper is a lot less whingy, even though when OH was here a fair share of his whingeing was directed at me. As I work from home he's probably more used to the fact that I'm 'unavailable' for much of the time - and as much as he likes OH being around, he ma...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
I hope your knees get better too, Nettle. It's such a pain when your life revolves around walking with the dog, isn't it? I've just cancelled our October holiday in the Purbecks (just half an hour from home because of the geriatric cat), despite only getting about 50% of the cost refunded - OH would...

Re: What are you and your dogs up to today? Part 2
Whinge, whine, whinge, whine.... OH has been on holiday the last two weeks. Jasper starts the day whining for his walk as soon as OH has finished his coffee, because that's what he expects. Once they're home and the day has warmed up we get wall-to-wall whining because he wants to be in the garden b...
