At the moment Asda seem reasonable and offer a 10% discount on each policy if you are insuring more than one dog. Going to decide between Argos/Asda today I think. Thanks for all the input :thumbsup: Oh, can I ask anyone taking out insurance, or in fact doing any online shopping, to...

I saw your earlier posts, and know that living in a flat with no accessible garden means that some sort of 'paper' training is the only way for you until he is fully vaccinated. Peeing on paper (and I'm sorry to be a bit graphic here) makes a noise and can cause the pee to splash upwards...

I know exactly what you mean Janis, it is one thing 'dressing your dog up' as a fashion model and another entirely to dress your dog according to its needs :thumbsup:

Rifle has never needed a jumper/coat/pj's in the house and only wears an outdoor coat for lead walks when it's really cold or wet. Having said that, Rosie is a different matter altogether, she has a much finer coat, is very slight and gets cold very quickly and does sometimes need a little...

:lol: I now have this wonderful vision of all these Whippet puppy owners shivering through the winter in their sleeveless jumpers!! :lol: I have a very strange sense of humour ;)

The more I look into it the more I think that there is a huge scam going on. It seems to be quite common that a company offers a quote, at a realistic price, you stick with them for a few years and suddenly the terms change.... They know you will find it difficult to change insurers...

Thanks.... I expect things to be a little more expensive for a 5 year old dog, I'm off to compare prices and benefits.....

hollyvictoriab, I was involved with horses for many years and remember the nightmares people had with E & L, yet still Horse and Hound carried their adverts! Sorry to hear you got caught out by them. Most of the vets in my area will only accept direct payment from PetPlan, I think they get...

Rifle has been insured with Healthy Pets since he was a pup (he's 5 now). We've had a few claims and I've been more than happy with the way they've been handled so I was devastated when his renewal arrived in the post today, with an increase from £18 (or thereabouts, can't remember exact...

Happy Birthday to Sada :wub: ....... fatty sardine indeed, you can't call her names like that on her birthday! x

I know this is from 1941, but there was a diversity in size and type even then ;) http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=12476

It is a pity that we cannot all just accept that people are individuals and have individual reasons why they were attracted to owning a Whippet (or other sighthound) in the first place. We all share a common bond though and that is our dogs, and it was owning a sighthound that probably led us...

:D Me too... I tried knitting one when Rifle was a puppy, an epic failure as it ended up fitting my friend's labrador :wacko: I'm going to give it a go though as Rosie is so tiny and really feels the cold.

That's gorgeous Sue, thank you so much. I've just picked up a pattern and some wool to have a little 'experiment' myself (I used to knit a lot at one time) but I really like the shape of the jumper you have knitted :))

I was lucky enough to buy quite a few rabbits for the freezer from the local youngsters who have got into ferreting. It took me a while to persuade them to clean them for me but once they realised that I would buy them on a regular basis then they decided they 'needed' the money... £1 each for...

I'm sure I saw some modern 'quirky' whippet prints on ebay recently, Dianne Heap was the artist I think?

Probably to do with the licensing regulations. Drug companies can afford to go through the complicated process this entails. There are many herbal remedies that carry such a caveat, simply because they cannot afford to go through the licensing process.

:thumbsup: Billy No Mates gets a big thumbs up from me, I've just recommended it to a friend who has had a problem with ticks on her Lab and her Collie. As Annie says, the Resist from CSJ is also amazing stuff. Rosie was quite 'itchy' when she first came to me and after some discussion with...

:( Oh dear!! They say things happen in threes, so hopefully that is your run of bad luck over. Hope that the boys are all ok.

What a difficult time for you, but I think you are right to let Badger be the judge of what he feels up to doing. If he feels like having a run about then he is clearly happy and that is the main thing. Thinking of you x
