I have just had the sad news that the gorgeous Mr Wolf lost his battle against bone cancer - he was only 8 years old. I am so grateful to Ann who gave him a chance of love and a wonderful home and much needed TLC after he had been let down so badly before. He was a wonderful loving boy with plenty of character. Run free precious boy xxxxx

Hi Deb, I took her to see Chris who did the bone biopsy. As the results were inconclusive it was felt best to wait for approx 6 weeks and repeat the x-rays and monitor her in the interim and see if anything changes. Hopefully we are looking at nothing more serious than osteomyelitis which in basic terms is inflamation of the bone following injury as it looks like she has dislocated her toe in the recent past as this is showing discrepancies. She could be treated with steroids or more likely amputation of the osteomyelitic lump and damaged toe. However steroid treatment cannot be started until osteomyelitis is a confirmed diagnosis so she is on anti-inflamatories for now. I have heard from Jayne and she is enjoying her holiday in Wales which is a well deserved treat following all what she has been through recently x (hope this all makes sense!)

Our alarm clock(Dreamer) is set to 5.00am. Whether we take her out for last wee 10pm 10.30 or 12.00 she's up at 5 usually on the dot. Tom could sleep for England and sometimes needs to be prized out of bed to go on first walk.We find with Dreamer, a little drink, big love and sky sports news she'll go back to sleep, unfortuatly I'm wide awake!

Please someone come look at this beautiful boy. He is very depressed n looks like he's wasting away more n more everyday even tho he has a gud appetite. Tday he even seemed t not enjoy his walk. He his great with my boys n just needs the love n company of a family n of course another doggy pal. I hope there is someone out there for him. He's a lovely sweet, quiet boy who just wants a home of his own back. X

I too sympathise with you, Penny was a 5:30 alarm, then she went to 4:30, I tried all sorts, coming down and letting her out, ignoring, saying/shouting (!) ssshhhhhhh, eventually I took drastic action...and I did feel mean doing it...at night we make the dogs go onto their beds and say "bedtime" so at 4:30am I came down, let them out and made them go onto their beds saying "bedtime", the next time she started whining I came down armed with a water spray, squirted her with a firm "NO!" and told her to lie down, saying "bedtime", praised when she did and went back to bed. It took a week and now she doesn't need squirting, I tell her it's bedtime and she lies quietly until I get up. It worked for me, but I did feel mean doing it, but 4:30am is not funny and I really need my beauty sleep! ;0)

Happens to us too. Gent would happily sleep the day away. We used to have lie-ins at the weekend and then we got Emily...wakes at 5.30 am most mornings (got me up at 3 am when we were on holiday!) and whines until we go to her. I guess some of them are just early risers (lucky us!!). Mand x

She is such a brave girl; it's great to hear despite everything she is going through, she can still wag her tail to tell you she loves you and knows how lucky she is to have such a wonderful home. I do hope it won't be long before she is fit and well again. Sending her my cuddle today! xxx

Hi Fi Can't help, but I can empathise...since Perdi has been poorly our alarm call has also got earlier. Paddy is a happy, lazy boy, who only barks in the night/morning if he needs the loo and settles down well whenever he's left. Perdi is a little pain (which is why we had Paddy in the first place!), she (and the Cat) awake at about 5.30am and squeak (and meow) until I get up, after breakfast she'll settle again for an hour or so and then starts again...I've ignored, shouted and gone down with little success whatever I do. I'm hoping this is partly to do with the upset of routine/nerves caused by Perdi's injury and partly due to the light mornings and that it will improve over time...any advice greatly appreciated 🙂 Becky

Perdi has had a rocky road and been back in hospital again, but she's now been home a week and is walking! ok, she's a bit wobbly and we are having to be really careful with her, but she's being amazing, wagging her tail madly and clearly very happy. I'm hopeful that she'll make a good recovery and that we'll all be able to walk together again soon x thanks for all your well-wishes x x

HELP!!!!! When we had Charlie we found he was regular as clockwork waking up at 6.30 for a walk and dinner, this was fine as fitted in perfectly with work and getting ready...since havin Fly this acceptable 6.30am wake up call has been slowly replaced by a 4.40 wake up call. . . . i have tried ignoring the barking, it carries on till i go back down, i have tried letting them in the garden and then going back to bed, when i do this Fly stops barking and goes back to his bed....then Charlie starts crying till i go back down. I have tried repeatedly going down and letting them into the garden and going back to bed but Charlie just wont settle down, he cries and cries till i go down, getting louder and louder! with the winter coming up im not really keen on going out before 5am in the pitch black as i wont feel safe... any ideas or suggestions welcome! xxxxx
