So would I, Flobo. It’s having ‘Mug’ on my ample forehead that does it.

What a horrible start for the mite. Heart goes out.

Following Mabel’s dental treatment three weeks ago i reintroduced chewing treats gradually. I was apprehensive with hide sticks covered with dried chicken but she only strips the chicken away. She’ll have a chew on the hide but then discards it - I do keep an eye on her. I used to give her...

This attitude really hacks me off big time. So many people prioritising their wants before the needs of the dog. We saw it during lockdown - people not able to get out so a dog was acquired ‘for company’ and now there’s a glut of poor critters who have had no choice in the matter waiting for...

You seem to have reached an impasse with the cats’ owners. I suggest that you have every right to give the cats a thorough soaking should they place themselves in a situation which is dangerous for them. You’d be doing it for their protection. With luck, the wind behind you and three Hail Marys...

We are of the same mien, Biker John, but you’ve already made provision for her should the worst happen. Yes, she would be lost but you can’t do anything about it. Just enjoy her while you both can and listen to lovely music. I’m in an unfortunate situation currently - Mabel had five dental...

Biker John, you have my respect especially with regard to your affection for sighthounds in general and whippets in particular. However, I think that the foster approach would be the best course of action. I think you must put the dog's wellbeing first. I know that this may sound harsh but what...

That’s super. They’re lovely.

Just a lovely cuddly bear.

Many thanks, Mad Murphy. Tried that this eve - big success. However, the lemon drizzle cake was an outright failure.

No difference in size. Perhaps it’s an Apple mini iPad issue. I’ll have a try with the MacBook Pro. If that fails I’ll email it directly to you. Many thanks. Good grief, it’s done it.
