Strangely it isn’t sore at all, I’ve had hold and applied light pressure and got no reaction at all and she’s just eaten half a duck carcass with no problem, she’s just been playing with Bow and she’s gets flattened by the clumsy puppy but still goes back for more. Dogs are experts at hiding illness that’s my only worry.Lordflashheart said:
My word - that looks soreT_C_E said:Thanks folks, I’m hoping she’s just got caught by one of Bowyer’s teeth when playing and it’s got infected. (She does have a habit of putting her head in his mouth) 🤷♂️It’s not painful to touch, but I’m already thinking the vet will suggest biopsy/operation rather than something to let her see out her days with dignity, her sister who she was rescued with died at 5 years old so to get to her age is fantastic, we are so lucky even though she’s not been the easiest of dogs. Lol
Best wishes to her0 -
We trained Bailey in cash work, he could find my wallet quicker than my Missus before a shopping trip. 😂man_at_milletts said:As he won't be herding sheep or cattle, we've been advised to give Skip a 'job' to keep his mind focussed. His hip replacement means that long distance running/jumping is really out of the question, so we are going to train him as a scent dog.We've signed up with Scentwork UK and we are currently giving him lots to do in the garden and around the house searching at the moment for food treats. He is thriving on it probably because it's food driven, but eventually he will work with other scents starting with Cloves and Gun Oil. There is a competitive edge to this work so we are hoping to get him to a decent level while keeping him occupied.If he turns out to be good at it, I promise I won't bring him round to sniff in any of your greenhouses or loft spaces
I always wanted to try the Search and Rescue route but I wouldn’t have the time to spend weekends away with just one dog, plus Bow’s to big to negotiate rocks and alike without hurting himself.Go stand in a railway station foyer and watch everyone get back on the train as they see you, it’s great fun! 😂1 -
Yeh, I may give that a try at Dover station.While I was researching this I found out why explosives dogs stand stock still when they find what they are looking for.Common sense really I suppose ;-)1

This pair of gits decided to have a straightener in the field this morning, by straightener I mean I had to get involved. Normally a squabble is over in seconds with a bit of noise and lots of teeth so might throw an “Oi” at them and they go their separate ways, but today it escalated more than I would like so I got amongst them. I’ve got each of them by the scruff of the neck one in each hand and gave both the b@locking of their life and sent them of in different directions only for me to then stack it trying to stand up straight into the soaking wet grass. While my good lady stood there laughing and the boys happily ran off playing.I fecking hate dogs 😂

The dogs certainly look as though they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Great to see.1

That's mine above. Thrown out of a car on the motorway 10 years ago and she found me. Best friend ever.7

So, today's conversation went something like this.Mum; "Skip, you don't want to go out in this do you, it's pissing down?"Skip; "Mum, I'm a Border Collie, I'm 'ard as nails"Mum; "Oh, OK then"1

A traditional welcome for Granddaughter Millie when she visits, she knows not to leave the sofa until they’ve calmed and they know to keep all four corners off the furniture.4

There was a piece this morning on the Today programme (Radio 4) about reading dogs in schools and trials for using them to assist prisoners with their literacy problems, which might interest those who follow the exploits of @T_C_E 's dogs.

I was asked to visit one of the 3 prisons down here by one of the officials collecting their children from the school we attend. Sadly lockdowns became the norm and it never happened, in what capacity was never discussed.0

I thought this was very fitting.

Collected Bowyer from the vets yesterday after he was neutered, the conversation went like this.
*nurse….. he’s been a real gent.
me…. A bit like myself.
Nurse….*laughs* when I bring him out he’s a bit wobbly at the back end
me…. Yep that’s me again.
nurse *laughing, says we given him some additional pain relief as he had an exceptionally large scrotum.My wife. Looking at me “Don’t you bloody dare “ 😂😂

Very unexpectedly lost our boy today. Went in for a fairly routine op but suffered respiratory arrest and they couldn't bring him back. Only 5 years old but it was the best five years! Shocked and devastated. RIP Chewie.

Sorry for your loss cafcpolo. I’m sure Chewie wouldn’t have minded me saying he reminds me of Winston Churchill.1

Sixteen years young, today our beautiful Little Nell got her wings. She was a loving, loyal doggie whose passion was swimming and tennis balls. Never far from my side, I was the one who threw the ball so she never ventured far. I have never known a dog swim like she did. She would swim the entire walk as I walked the shore line. She knew if she rolled in something I'd have no choice but let her go back in the sea. Little Nell, one in a million, forever loved and never forgotten.
