Whilst walking my 2 greyhounds at a popular local dog walking spot this morning, we were having a lovely time & the dogs were, as usual, enjoying meeting & sniffing & having a wee play around with other dogs who we met on our way. Then they shot off after a spaniel-type dog & I called Max (the...

Thank you :) Right now they are in my bad books though :angry: : We had a power cut last night & I went to light some candles, only to find the dogs had had a good chew on them & obviously eaten some - now that explains the curiously waxy stools the other week! Honestly, is there...

Thanks everyone! Hearing of others who have done it successfully is really inspiring. I think I'm veering towards starting up on my own =) I've had a look at the Business Gateway website & booked myself onto some free seminars on business start up & taxes that are running in the local area...

Thank you both for your advice. Zahra - these are really useful links & thanks for your kind offer of further advice should I need it. (I'm sure I will!) Jx

Hi there, I was hoping I could ask you fellow doggy people for some advice... I want to start dog walking to earn some money. I already do this voluntarily for a local rehoming charity, have 2 dogs of my own & have a longterm interest in a career working with animals. I have been offered a...

I don't feed my dogs barf but I certainly freeze veg (both raw & cooked) for my own use with no problems. Hope this helps. =)

Just to update you on how my 2 are getting along... On Saturday they had their first walk without coats for several months as Spring hit East Lothian with a big dose of sunshine! :D They loved frolicking around with the wind on their backs & even went for a wee swim in the river together -...

kat & cara, i just wanted to reassure you that i don't think size will be an issue. although greyhounds are 'big' height-wise they really don't have much 'meat' on them & do love to squeeze themselves into the smallest of spaces on the sofa (at least mine do!). my partner & i live in a small...

Echoing Debbie b's thoughts about greyhounds.... They do make fantastic pets, especially for older people & although they are 'big' in height they can still squeeze themselves into the tiniest amount of sofa space! despite popular misconceptions they are generally very docile & loving. & there...

We've not been getting anywhere fast with our Molly's recall training. Sausages seem to do it for our Max, who is progressing quite nicely & will now come to a whistle (for a sausage reward!). However, Molly just didn't seem interested in whatever treats were on offer, the joy of running around...

Aw, Max & Tiny are both gorgeous! Sorry to hear about their health problems. Max has had his share of them too: when we first adopted him we found a lump on one of his paws that turned out to be a tumour (a histiocystoma). It had to be removed & the surgical wound got infected. It ended up...

thanx for the welcome guys - nice to meet you all! your dogs are all beautiful. how do you get the pics of them in your signature like that? (apparently i'm a bit forum-challenged! :lol:

Hi there, I'm new here & thought I would introduce myself & my gang! I live in Midlothian with my partner, Martin, my greyhounds, Max & Molly, & my cat, Angie. Max is a beautiful brindle boy. He is 5 years old & we adopted him from Borders Retired Greyhound Trust 9 months ago. 6 months later...
