    Wizard our 15 year old flattie died 18 months ago. Since then we have been dogless for the first time in 40 years. About 2 months ago we applied to the Independent Flatcoat Retriever Rehoming people for a flat coat and he arrived a week ago. His name is Archie he is 6 years old and a lovely dog, except he hates cats - a sight of them and he is off so we have to keep him on the lead when in the garden or elsewhere. The rehoming people are providing a trainer to help us get a recall into him, here he is

    No idea its always been in vans, it slopes back and front so Im guessing at a 4x4 or large estate. I cant get my boys in it. But smaller Sheps or females fit no problem. Already getting lots of interest so be quick. ;)

    If you can't sell, let me know mate and I'll ask about for you. Sounds like it'll go with no problem though 👍🏻

    I was told a lot of dogs like coconut water and that it is a nice refreshing treat for them in moderation. I googled it and it seems it is refreshing and good for their breath, general health and coat.  I saw some pure stuff today, no additives, 100% pure in Tesco and thought JJ and me would try some. I didn't give him much but he loved it. His tail wagged as he drank it. I tried a quarter of a glass at the same time and I thought it was vile. I drunk as much as I could (most of it) and gave him the rest.

    I have been tempted to try one of the chicken treats he loves out of curiosity, but have changed my mind now!

    Watch it, too much coconut water like with us will give your dog the “two Bob bits” we regularly feed coconut paste in food or directly to the skin on hot spots etc. But coconut is certainly good for them. 😉👍

    All our dogs have them daily, ideal for hiding any medication in them. 50p a tin in B&m 😉

    Is that human ones? I get the doggy ones from Pets at home. Are they the same? Could be saving some money if so :) 50p a tin! Haven't needed to hide medication yet, but my mum uses mortadella - dogs scoff that down ultra quick.

    Yep, ideal for training treats as is Iceland cheap and cheerful cheese.

    Devastated - had to say goodbye to my best mate Scooby today - 15 year old Springer Spaniel - his back legs had slowly got worse from around summer last year - last 2 weeks he deteriorated very quickly - his weight loss was alarming, particularly around his back half - last night he couldn't even stand - made the call to the vet this morning that nobody wants to make - he died in my arms

    Life is never going to be the same again

    So sorry to hear about your loss. Dogs are an important part of life for dog owners and a loss of such a pet is hard to take. My Border Collie is 12 and has aged in the last 12 months. I dread the moment when we have to say goodbye.

    Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

    Had Bob go last, it’s heart breaking, I feel for you. The worst bit is getting home to an empty house. Found Magnus in Jan, and he has filled the gap, will never replace Bob. 

    Time me is a great healer.

    Literally the thought of this fella not being there in the evening when I get home from work terrifies me. 



    Rest in peace Scoob. He sounds like a special boy.

    All the best in learning to live with his loss.

    This young man is fearful of dogs after being leapt on by a Rottweiler owned by his Grandma. It took me 10 minutes to get him to approach Bailey, then Bailey works his magic. 40 minutes later he’s being walked the lad. 😀🐕

    Having had to say goodbye to our beloved Springer Spaniel Scooby last week, we decided that our house / our family has to have a dog in our lives, so as the saying goes 'if you fall off the bike, you get straight back on', welcome to Chez Flashheart Buster and Bodie - 12 weeks old - causing chaos - love em to bits - put a smile back on my face

    Good for you, lovely boys. Be warned training siblings is hard work. Concentrate on the more dominant one and hopefully the more submissive one will follow his lead. Good luck.😉

    Thank you - they are doing really well on house training - very friendly - happy around other dogs - took them to Folkstone on Thursday in the Land Rover, and they were fine - just slept - my only 'worry' is getting them 100% on recall in due course - our Scooby was a nightmare to train, especially on recall, and it took a long time to get him to come back to me - a few hairy moments where he just ran off with me chasing him - Springers are inquisitive by nature, so I do understand what the issues are - the problem is chasing 1 Springer is bad enough - chasing 2 will be a challenge !!! 

    Its all part of the joy of having dogs though - I can't wait to take them on a canal boat holiday next year
