Ohhhhh Marion tempting offer ! My Aunt has just given us her old tent so we'll be doing a bit of camping later in the year-do you have a big garden ????????????

Not on our caravan site-I checked !!!! :cry:

I'm an addict too !!! :laola: You are all soooooooooo right you know I'm having a week away in cornwall (17th-24th May) and I'm already thinking about how I'll miss this daily chatter :nerwy: Addicted nah ! More like obsession !! :roll: Well at least we're all in good company !!! :beerchug:

Yes I have to confess we do it too !!! :oops: They look at us in disgust sometimes !! :o The best one is when they're on the sofa and you crawl towards them and rio's huge tail starts thud..thud..thud.. :sweetCyberM:

That's sad I have known 2 children who have battled cancer :( it makes you feel so helpless and when you watch them singing and acting in the nativity it nearly breaks your heart. Both these little guys are in remission now though so fingers crossed. :)

Debbie, I couldn't have said it better myself :angel:

Lovely :(

Bensam, I think you're probably right I think it's just a matter of time before we start to get harsher legislation. :roll: It's so sad :( I keep thinking of all the dogs I know that it would probably affect.

I agree debbie it's cheaper to buy the dvd than for us to go as a family :roll: so if we really want to see it we buy it !!! I would rent but thats 1/3 of the price of the movie anyway !!! :Dog_run:

Surely the dingo's were there first !!! :roll: Even if it was them attacking livestock-and it sounds like it isn't-surely it's down to the farmer to protect his livestock ! We moved onto their land they didn't ask to be invaded !!!

Thanks everyone for all your replies :) I've really enjoyed reading them !

:roflt: Oh Courtnek you kill me !!!!!! :roflt:

.....You look for a jacket and find a dry one !!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Courtnek :roflt: That nearly had me in tears mine do that too :lol:

:roflt: :roflt: :multi: :roflt: :roflt:

Me too !!!!! :drinking: It's becoming an obsession :o I used to do housework !! I used to switch off the computer !!! I used to talk to my husband !!! Oh F*** it this is much more fun !!!!! :laola:

Mine are disgusting too ! :grab: Rio will eat poo but only Ellie's !!! :eating: Yummy !! and quite often when we go for a walk in the woods they will snack on horsey and bunny mcnuggets !!! :lol: Ellie just loves to roll in fox poo and boy does she stink !!!! :oops: Remind me again why we love them ???????!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok a made a mistake !! :-? I found the article-Heartworm is pretty much unheard of over here still but it is making it's way over from europe unfortunately so I guess it's only a matter of time :-? ,yes it is stronghold that has a built in heartworm preventative. :) The worms that can be picked up from slugs and snails are [b]lungworm[/b] (my mistake -sorry) Quote:'Angiostrongulus vasorum has been present in small isolated areas of mailand Britain(cornwall and later south Wales) for more than 20 years, but recently cases have been identified outside these areas. The parasite,A.Vasorum is known as canine lungworm or 'french heartworm'. The adult worms which are about 1 inch long and slightly thicker than a human hair,live in the right ventricle and pulmonary artery(this is the side of the heart that pumps blood from the body into the lungs) If there are sufficient worms living there they may cause the dog to suffer from heart failure.......' 'The larvae must be eaten by an intermediate host where they can continue their development.Several different cold blooded creatures can act in this capacity-including species of slug snail and frog. When development is complete,the larvae patiently wait inside the body of their intermediate host (e.g. a slug) until a dog comes along and eats the host.The dogs digestive system breaks down the tissues of the intermadiate host freeing the larvae.These larvae now migrate through the walls of the intestines towards the liver and on to the heart where they complete their development and become sexually mature adults.' So you can see although they are called 'lungworm' they cause all the trouble in the heart-that's where I got confused- sorry cassie it's an old article (august 2001) so my brain was a bit rusty :roll:

Just for your info ! There's was an article a few months back in 'dogs today' magazine which warned that heartworm is rare in the uk but it is around. There is evidence that slugs and snails can be carriers so if your pooch has a snack on these from time to time :roll: it might be worth investing in a preventative-I'll try and find the article. I have a feeling that stronghold spot on guards against heartworm along with fleas.

Poor poor petal :( I'm so pleased she pulled through :) You are going to be exhausted keeping your eye on her all the time. Hope she makes it cos she's so gorgeous :iloveyou:

Hi starfox ! The only thing I could think of is to arm yourself with a hose when you go out there. :o That should get rid of any naughty doggies :Dog_run:

It's not fair [b]I[/b] want to see the funny ads ! :multi:

Shara no-one can make that decision but you. You have to be 100% sure too.

Oh god i wish I hadn't looked ! :cry: What the f*** is wrong with these people ! :evil: I'd like to get hold of them and do the same to them the sick freaks. God I'm so angry,what can we do ?

My friends dog had poo like that and he had colitis :-? I'd get it checked out if it carries on.
