    thanks Lisa xx We have known for some time that it wouldn't be far off. We had a last holiday with her last summer and a last Christmas with her. We got her a new brother last year to help us all through it, so at least we will still have him. Now we have made the decision it feels better in a...

    Hi Doggy people just wanted to share my sad news. We have made the heart breaking decision to have our old staffy cross put to sleep.She is 16 and we have had her for 14 years but she has really gone down hill since Christmas and we can't bear to see her in pain any longer.I will miss her so much.

    What does your username mean?

    My hubby's nickname for me is Gromit (as he looks like Wallace) and it got shortened to Grom - he never calls me by my real name. And at work everyone calls me H - beginning to forget what my name actually is!!!

    O/T - any ideas on getting a puppy to "sleep through!"

    We had a puppy last year and we left him in his crate with blanket and toys etc with music on very quietly (James Blunt was always a favourite). No matter how much he cried we just ignored him - if you go to her then she has won and will keep doing it. After a few nights he was absolutely fine...

    My boy is a definite cross - very long legs - but a real staffy temperament. He was picked up as a starving stray - like a skeleton apparently - and from what we can gather from his micrchip, he had spent most of his first year in and out of dogs homes. You would think that would make him mean...

    what a spoilt girl! My young boy has Iams as when we got him from dogs home he had been a starving stray and needed serious building up. he did so well we have kept him on it. My old girlie (she is about 16 we think) has special food for her joints - so i suppose mine are quite spoilt too...

    HOW DID I DO THAT?

    No not at all! Firstly, surgery isn't the huge drastic operation it used to be these days. It is a relatively quick keyhole procedure which doctors are viewing more and more as a cost effective, more permanent way to manage morbidly obese patients (like me!) I have spent all my life being...

    The band does stay in for life but I have opted for the bypass surgery. When I first started looking at this as an option I thought the bypass was really drastic and only for people who weighed 50 stones etc and even before I had my consultation I was convinced I wanted a band. However on...
