Just got back to this. I’ll willingly be an elf because I’m happy to participate and make it happen but living in UK makes it too expensive to send things. Once you are organised let me know my clients or get them to contact me. The batty one.🦇

Atta gurl Sweep, Kkep upp the gud wurk! Wagz frum Chancey and Nutmeg.

Chancey loves Leylandii hedges. She spends time walking along the one in the back garden and will do it out on a walk too. Now she is getting old and a bit wobbly I just let her go at her own pace and brush up against whatever hedges she wants. The friends we walk with all know her penchant for a hedge and we all stop and let her enjoy the moment.

That’s the one! or “I’ll have 100 to1 on the one in the red jacket!”.

If an elf you need Santa’s call I will heed and do my best if put to the test. The batty one.🦇

Well, I have to say “What a way to go, spinning and dancing and delighted to see you”! Whilst a dreadful shock for you, you know that in her last moments she was happy, loving you and knowing that you loved her. Frankly I could think of worse scenarios. You and many others have many happy memories of Rosie, keep them in your heart. Carol.

Miss. Jan, we ar reellee sad to read this tuday. We know that yu mayde Aidan happee and he mayde yu happee tu and yu will miss him lots and lots. We awl will. We ar sending likky kissis, Chancey and Nutmeg and luv frum Mum.

Missr. Don and Miss. Chris we ar broken ov the heart that ower frend Petunia had to leeve yu. We ar shur she hadd the besst tyme livving wiv yu. Likky kissis frum Chancey and Nutmeg..

My greyhound and most of my whippets have trashed any soft toy in minutes. Now I let Chancey “find” or “steal” a cardboard box or cardboard tube which she takes to her crate and rips apart quite happily. If she chews on it and swallows some I feel it should be less of a problem than filament stuffing. She does still have a penchant for chewing plastic so I have to watch what she “finds”. My Grandson’s Lego had to go and live in his house or she crunched it up with greyt enjoyment.

We ar keeping ower pawsis Xxed fower a speedee rekuvveree fower Sweep. Wagz frum Chancey and Nuttymeg in Reel Engaland.

I’m a member of that club!

I’m using an iPad and a couple of times I’ve been asked to sign in to post in Off Topic and both times I got the same message as Kathy although I was signed in on another part of the board. The last time it happened, about 15 minutes ago, I was suddenly signed in and could access and post in Off Topic.

I wonder what they would name a German Schnauzer? I think you spoil that boy Miss. Jan. (And why not?).

All of my dogs have loved carrots. Nutmeg is out into the kitchen double quick the minute I start to peel a carrot.

Ha Pee Birfday Aiden. Wags frum Chancey and Nutmeg in Reel England. Scritches from Mum.

Although it was a rough way to learn it, at least now the adoption group know that Sadie Rose needs to be an only dog or may be OK with a male companion. Hoping Petunia heals quickly and forgets the incident soon.

I have had Chancey 7 years now and for the first year or so I used the RGT food and she always did huge sloppy poops, then I changed her to Burns Fish & Brown Rice I think it was. I found that was an improvement but I couldn’t use too much water on it or everything got sloppy again. After quite a few years on that she seemed to start getting loose again despite being wormed etc. Then someone on here mentioned the Gain * greyhound food for retired dogs and I tried that and things seem to be OK now but I’m still careful about how much water I use, especially as she seems to have a big drink once she knows I am getting their meal ready. I use one tin or one packet ( something like Forthglade) of wet food per day mixed in with the girls’ kibble i.e. a quarter of tin on each meal for each dog - two meals per day. This way the majority of their main food stays the same but the addition makes it smell and taste different to add variety. *The Gain dog food seems to be available from only a few on line suppliers and I think it may have been the food that came with her but I couldn’t find it available on line at that time so I went for the RGT one. I find some treats will produce a runny tum so she doesn’t get too many of those, just something when I go out and leave them.

My whippet Chester would ‘bury’ his chew in the middle of the living room carpet then sit on the settee or a dog bed and watch to make sure nobody went near it. If one of the other whippets so much as moved (they all received one at the same time) then he would be up and grabbing it and take it off to bury somewhere else. It gave the family hours of harmless fun because you just had to say “I’m going to get....” and he was up like a shot and rescuing the chew just to go and hide it in full view again. He was one for hiding chews behind cushions too!

Welkum Sadie Rose, yu gotta speshul sista there and grate nyoo Mum and Dad. Wagz frum Chancey and Nutmeg in Reel Engaland.

We had that in the local area last year - a week of fire brigades from all over fighting a fire that ravaged heathland and killed countless numbers of rare and protected wildlife.

Make the most of the sunshine and lifting of restrictions Peggy. Wagz frum Chancey and Nutmeg.
