    Bailey jumped into the river this morning and one of the weirs got swept back a bit with the current(!)... he ended up under bushes fighting against it and was slowly making his way back up but I was close enough to reach down and pull him out - glad I got that harness with the handle on the back even if it is a bit big for him!

    One of our cats fractured her paw. What on earth is going on the past few weeks? Agh!

    He probably would have been fine tbh but I just decided to grab him - last time he got into difficultly in water like that he pulled muscles and it took months to get back to normal!

    The second one reads a bit like something is grammatically wrong with the sentance that I cant put my finger on, so I vote for the first one.

    I like them both but should the second one read ''Our home runs on love, laughter and an Irish Setter''?

    Oops you're right I fixed it!! :D I agree - I kind of do and don't like it at the same time lol - It's American...and normally about coffee lol - like 'Our home runs on love laughter and strong coffee" but the first one 'a house is not a home...' is so common place I don't think I like it?

    I might go with red setter instead of irish setter or even Irish red setter lol.. Gah it's so hard!! :D

    It'll be a framed tree slice with the words stamped on.

    Came across a new dog food in tesco called vets kitchen, has anyone else heard of/used it before? Just from a brief look at the package it seemed like a pretty decent food, grain free 80% meat. I requested a sample of their cat food from their website!

    Which one is 80% meat? The grain-free pork one is 22% dried pork. http://www.vetknowhow.co.uk/vetskitchen/products/vets-kitchen-adult-sensitive-grain-free-pork-potato

    Unfortunately hamsters can get pregnant again as soon as the give birth, so if you didn't separate them straight away you may have a second batch on the way!

    We think she had them the day they were separated but not entirely sure.. Basically what happened was that they had been squabbling a little for a few weeks before but nothing out of ordinary - it seemed like sibling stuff but then last Tuesday evening they were attacking each other for hours, going tooth and nail and so we monitored it and when it got vicious, we separated them immediately - the days afterwards, we heard the squeaking and saw weird behaviour and then Saturday, we decided to check and saw the wiggly pink things (which now have fur now) so I am really hoping that she had the babies hours or a day after they were separated...

    But I do know they can get pregnant immediately and I am concerned about that :/ She is a tiny dwarf hamster, I assume the runt of her own litter and so I am worried about what a second litter would do!

    Fingers crossed we can get through this first litter anyway! She seems healthy and active as anything though :D

    No bother, I was less being cantankerous and more being really confused. I thought I had just got my maths dreadfully wrong or something...

    Has anyone used this before? Despite daily salmon oil, both Peach and Cream seem to be getting quite bad dandruff, so I thought maybe a different oil would help?

    We've got a Canicross event on in Lough Boora Parklands, Co. Offaly tomorrow, Dogs In The Bog :D and I've been making dog biscuits to go in the goody bags. Loki managed to get a whole tray of them last night, which means I have to do more, and had to clean the kitchen floor this morning as his stomach obviously couldn't cope with the overload of food. :(

    I was thinking about the lupoderm, I was just more inclined towards the other one because of the squirt bottle! I'm just desperate to get this dandruff under control!

    Sat out in the sunshine while my almost 2-year old throws all of Opie's toys for him. One or two have holes for treats and she loves to put her finger in them so he licks her when he takes the toy. Every time he showers her in doggy kisses she absolutely breaks herself laughing. Hearing her say "Awwwww Opieee" just warms my heart so much. Opie was born in June so they are barely 3 weeks apart in age.

    Then I realised that she could be 11 or 12 when we lose him and I spent about 10 minutes hiding my hysterical sobs from them :pac:

    Mo's reactive dog classes have gone pretty well. There's nothing massively new in it, just desensitizing the dogs to each other. What's really helped is that the other owners are all on the same page and we can all keep our dogs at a distance they're comfortable with. We did have an incident on the way to class where we passed one of his classmates who let us go ahead through a gate, only a few seconds after we passed the other guy slipped off his lead and jumped on Mo. Poor Mo was on his lead trying to fend off the loose dog. No bites though just lots of snarling, piles of treats for Mo as soon as we separated them. I felt sorry for the other owner though as he never made it to class in the end.

    Well apparently ignoring and quietly passing a child makes my dogs 'dangerous'! No missus imprinting fear into your kid is what's dangerous! :mad:
