Well Scottishlass, did any gentlemen offer to help you?

I'm glad it didn't fly into my house!! What size was it?

Cheers Jacob - i have a load of carrot seedlings ready to go in some of the bags. Iv'e already got some beetroots planted in some of them and they seem to be coming on well in all this rain and heat. Hopefully they will do ok in the potato compost. I keep finding little pea sized potatoes among the compost, i'm just wondering if they will grow and maybe produce more potatoes. It is very interesting to watch things grow - nothing beats picking stuff from your own garden and cooking it fresh. I can't wait for the tomatoes to be ready next!

I bought it a few years ago to treat a terrier who had scabby weepy skin. I had to buy the whole kit for about £30 including special shampoo etc. Indeed i forgot all about it until i saw this thread. I tried using it - the dog licked it straight back off and it was all very messy to use - i felt using Vaseline would have been as effective. The write up on their site and in the magazines made it look like a miracle worker but my dogs skin cleared up when i washed in in good old Head & Shoulders shampoo - more convenient to use and a hell of a lot cheaper - i don't want to sound stingy

What do yous all think about the attractiveness of someone with a fag hanging out of thier mouth? Do they look/smell less attractive or more attractive?

Well done to all who have managed to give up and good luck to those who are still trying

Grass snake in me garden
littlefish replied to swanseajack's topic in Wildlife and General Photography
Brilliant photos. Did he just sit there and pose for a long time while you photographed him? What sort of camera did you use? When those snakes move, do they move very fast? -
I have just harvested my first two bags of potatoes - i got almost a full bucket of potatoes from four seed potatoes and am very pleased that they grew. Thanks to everyone on here who helped with my questions about growing potatoes. Now another........... I grew them in bags because my garden is all concrete. There is still a lot of compost left in the bags but it is full of little rooty bits from the potatoes. Can i use this compost to grow something else in now? I don't want to waste it or just use it for growing flowers - i'd rather grow something to eat. Is it ok to maybe put

You could try using old towels/sweaters/curtains etc - they would do for the dogs to lie on and might not be as exciting for them to rip up as stuff with fluffy filling in such as dog beds and duvets etc. When they are minging you can just throw them out and get more from friends or charity shops? I used to buy quilted dog beds but one of my pups used to chew them up then piss on them - very frustrating. Now they get old stuff to lie on but i make sure buttons, zips etc have been removed.

And Gordon Brown still insists that the UK would be better with eve closer links to Europe - F**k that I say! Bunch of savages!!!

So Ditch - do you feel you have 'come home'? I must say, Leitrim sounds a lot more civilized than what you described there on th mainland.....

Aw now, have ye not tried it with ginger ale? Jameson's or Bush with ginger...........go on...........give it a go! Oh no, glass empty - must go and pour another!

So how old are those eggs likely to be? How long of a delay is it possible to have between the eggs being layed and when you start to incubate them or put them under the hens? How long does it take them to hatch and how soon do you know if they are males or females? It sounds like a real interesting past time but a pity i don't have room. Good luck with your eggs.....let us know what happens with tem.

Good luck with your pup, take good care of her - the effort you put in now will show in the future. And well done the members who have given good encouraging advice to this lad, who is obviously young and will appreciate the help and encourgement.

Dogs Rolling In Shit And Vile Things: They 'All' Do It:
littlefish replied to a topic in General Talk
My bitch is very enthusiastic about rolling in stinky things, dung etc. She usually finds the weirdest things on the local beach - dead fish, hedgehogs, seagulls and even shitty nappies left behind by dirty b*****d tourists. The oddest thing yet was a dead dolphin that was decomposing on the beach, its abdomen was burst and there she was in the distance rolling like she never rolled before, looking up when i called her before diving in again head first. I then had to spend about 20 minutes throwing sticks into the sea for her to swim and retrieve to try to get her cleaned up a bit before the -
Thanks for that Miles - that looks pretty much like it. The bunny is still runnning free. Thinking realistically that rabbit is probably about six times as heavy as the rabbit!
-
I saw that before, so did not sit and watch it again. From what I remember it went on for quite a long time. It's probably a risk of the job...... If that was my job i'd probably prefer to have a colleague standing by with a gun rather than a camcorder!

Mine's the same! I think if they are allowed in the house, you just have to get used to it. Mine gets combed everyday outside. Also i've noticed his coat is much improved and casting less since he started getting oil of evening primrose 2-3 times a week at Xmas time. I try to keep mine in parts of the house where there is no carpets and furniture to climb on. I wouldn't be without the wee git, he's a real character but I do see the attractions of a dog with a darker coat.

That's good news. Glad he wasn't run over by a car or stolen.

Firstly, sorry I don't have any photos but maybe if I describe what I seen this morning, some of you folks could help? I was looking out my window this morning at about 9 am when a bird of prey landed on my fence about 15 ft from where i was. Now, to me this was a fabulous and fantastic sight. I had never seen a wild one up close before. I live in the centre of a town but round here there are areas of trees (with crows nesting) and people have shubs etc in their gardens and there are lots of small birds - sparrows, starlings, tits, finches etc about at the moment. It sat still for about

As i understand it, a farmer only has to think that a dog may worry livestock on his land and he is entitled to shoot it.

Ditch - that is such a sad, sad story, a real heartfelt tribute to somesones little scrap of a dog, i'm sure she will be missed. I hit a dog one day in my car, a farm collie, it just ran out of a hedge and under the front of the wheels. It got up and ran on home, but I tell you, I was in a state of shock. It can happen so quickly with such tragic consequences.

Don't know about the numbers you can keep but if you dogs are causing a nuisance it CAN be a problem, especially if you live in a terrace/semi. You say they don't bark, but are you sure they don't do it while you are out? It may be worth setting a tape recorder a few times just to check for peace of mind. Also your dogs should be under control and your place kept clean and hygenic, that way if the council officials come to call you can smile and show them your well cared for, well behaved dogs in their clean environment . People who lived along my street had two unneutered collie dog

Good luck with your decision. If I had to, i would prefer to have a dog and a bitch living in the house, from my experience i find this more harmonious than two bitches with their bitchy hormones, competing to be boss. By the way, to make to easier, if the dogs are in your house GET THEM CRATES TO STAY IN - IT WILL SAVE YOUR HOUSE AS WELL AS YOUR NERVES GETTING WRECKED!
