Thank you to everyone for my birthday wishes. My mum has spoilt me today, I have had a pilchard cake, which I shared with my brothers and sisters and mum also made some yummy cheesy biscuits which I might share. I have been racing around the garden, the others can't catch me it's great fun. Lots of love Iris xxxx

Thanks all for your reassurance...I've gone over what happened and I did nothing wrong, I was more annoyed at this woman who looked to be the same age as my Mum, not taking responsibility for her and her dogs actions. Poor Penny, she doesn't try and get at other dogs, doesn't bark at them, is happy if they aren't too close, I work hard to be calm and reassuring...just hope this doesn't bring out The Terminator in her from now on ;0) I'm pleased I'm not the only one who finds some dog owners frustrating! x

Hi thanx for all the advice will give them a try. the door is a glass panelled 1 so even tho it's shut he can still see out, didn't really want to use a gate on the lounge because of the cats, the 3 of them would attack the cats if they got into the lounge n the cats are always trying 2 get in. The cats spend most of the day outside just coming back in when it rains or for food, but they're inside overnight. He only whines/barks when we 1st leave or when we 1st get up in morning or get home n dont go straight into the room 2 them. He does settle down after a time. Would love to take him and Mystic 2 a training class but there are none local and we dont drive so cant get to one. Jen n gang xxx

Such terrible news, but Belle had the most fantastic, albeit short, retirement which is all a grey could ever ask for. Sleep tight little one xxx

Oh Tash, don't get me started on this subject! From one crazy lady to another, I've lost count of the amount of times mine have been jumped all over by an over exuberant or indeed the occasional nasty dog, and the owners just yell (usually from a distance) "don't worry he's just saying hello". I'm a responsible owner and as such my poor petrified Moo is muzzled and on a short lead, but this still doesn't seem to make much difference to some people. Glad Penny is ok, and hope your heart rate is back to normal now xxx

Hi Cindy, thanks for the lovely update. as regards the arthritis, my Monty dog ( who was not a grey ) had arthritis and he had to have medication and yet he was a very active happy and fit little man right up until cancer took him at the grand age of 15and a half. he used to come to the kennels and 'Monty test' the greys and walk with them right up until he died...so please don't worry about your gorgeous girl not having any quality of life she can be as active as the rest of them :)...its lovely to hear that she is doing so well and even more wonderful that you are considering a brother for her, hope i shall be there when you come to visit so i can say hello to you all and have a snuggle with your lovely girl. love to you all...Ina xxx

tell me about it...so many nightmare owners about...all mine do not like being pestered by dogs off lead and will bark and growl as they feel threatened by them, i have told owners over and over that they are the ones not controlling their dogs as they have them off lead and have no recall whatsoever, mine are on a short lead and i am in control, i no longer muzzle mine as they feel totally unable to defend themselves and have been in a situation where they were attacked by others and they could do nothing, makes me avoid parks and areas where there are so many irresponsible owners, and yes i will also rant at them if they cannot control their pets. wish there was such a thing that all dogs have to be on leads in public areas and the problem would be minimal. lots of love to you and Penny and the boys. xxx

I can sympathise, I dread it when I see a dog coming towards us and our two are on the lead. Your reaction was perfectly natural given what happened and possibly with hindsight, the Collie wasn't the only one to eventually walk away with a tail between it's legs! Mand, Gent & Emily

Aaaaaauunnty Ruuuuuuthieeeee....mummy has spotted that I have a very big corn in one of my pads and as much as I love my vet he's not confident in what to do with them as mine are the first he's seen! (I know!!) Do you think if we came to the kennels you'd have a little look at it for me? Thank you. Big licks. Roxy Raz xxxxx PS - Mum says thanks to Mand and family. 🙂 xx

I have to agree! Charlie is fantastic when he meets other dogs on leads but he seems to panic a bit and starts crying when they are off the lead! Other dog owners say dont worry my dog is perfectly ok with other dogs and poor charlie has to but up with dogs running at him!!
