Nice to see you took a pic of Ruby's "best" side
-
Lovely pics RT

It's not just you ! I still can't - how on earth can I stack them all vertically to save space, if I can't even fold the stupid things ninja style !
-
ok, I've been doing number 40 for the last 10 minutes and I can't get it to work I am not a ninja
-
You'll be fine ! I'm far too girlie to play football, but I'm 34 and run marathons. You'll love it once you are out there. Enjoy

crisps AND pot noodle now there's posh.

pfffttt - chip fat ? No wonder Fife's ears are crooked, and Ruby has very short legs for a lurcher The local store does a pretty good deal on the oil, to be fair - my wages don't stretch that far !
-
Me too ... to be honest when im grafting the dogs to the max I don't feed rabbit there isnt enough in them for my liking,I like plenty of fat amongst my dog scran and even then I buy blocks of lard and add some of that ... seem to look and run ok anyway and my last two were 16 and 14 year old when they went so no long term health issues? Same as that with the lard mate, mine also get every leftover from roast dinner to apple pie and custard !!!......anything we eat that is leftover is put in with their grub Can't beat melting a big block of lard over the whole mess when the weather is harsh

No, it's not illegal - just bear in mind that some insurance companies won't recognise non-vet jabs, and some policies won't pay out if your dog isn't vet jabbed. Also, kennels won't accept non certificate jabs. If neither of those things are likely to apply to you - crack on. I get mine done for £15 a dog at the local pet shop ( Pets at Home ) - for £15 a year, I know it is a proper, in date vacc that will be signed onto the vacc cert by a qualified vet. Personal choice.

I don't ( my choice ) I gut them.

Wouldn't feed Chappie at all - better with a few tins of sardines/mackerel - with pasta/bread/veg.... I mix the complete in with the raw/veg/pasta etc... They have fish and oily fish tins, pasta etc normally anyway, but for the odd day when I have had a blonde moment and not taken stuff out of the freezer, 3 large tins of chappie fills a gap in 5 lurchers - is cheap, easily stored, and just for emergencies !
-
Yes, freeze them first for a good 2-3 weeks - they still need regular worming though. I use a hand crank mincer and chop the meat into small enough pieces that the mincer ( and me ! ) can cope with - extra long handle, and it burns off a few calories, but it was £3 from a boot sale, and not £100s + for a mechanical one.
-
Sounds good. I found one of mine a little fussy with some bits of the raw initially - and I then cooked it ( let it go cold obviously ) and each time would cook it less and less, to the point where he would eat it raw. I don't tend to add dry ( nothing the matter with adding it, mine just are not fussed, and happy with raw ) but I keep a few tins of chappie in the cupboard for emergency meals if I forget to defrost anything.
-
Mince it, and feed it raw. Mine have a mix of minced rabbit and chicken, and then whole raw stuff that they can cope with. I freeze the rabbit for a few weeks first, then defrost and feed.

It's a big change going from inside with people to alone in a kennel, and a long time alone ( all night, then daytime between morning and evening walks ) for a young dog. He'll need time to adjust. If he is warm,tired, comfy and has something to do ( chew toys etc ) he'll settle quicker. Please don't turn the hose on him though, his kennel should be a place he enjoys to be and can relax in. Good luck - having a noisy dog and intolerant neighbours is not easy.
-
sleepy dog !
-
I can't see how it would be any different - the dog is still a "pet animal" and not a farm animal - it is the farm animal that can have treatment such as rings, tails etc - not because it is a farmer doing the treatment as such. Tending to small wounds and putting the odd stitch in here and there is fine - anything more than a few stitches, and you need local or general anaesthetic - which needs to be done by a vet. (edited for terrible spelling)

Great to hear - I bet you are proper proud

The feeder is a metal treddle one, and I only put in enough for the day, and then wash it out and put it in the garage overnight, while the chooks are in the coop. The rat is coming in through a small gap between the closed board fence post and the brick wall of the shed, which is where I put the bait box. I can fence off that part of the garden to stop the chooks getting to the trap. Thank you for all the advice

Great pics. Some of my favourite memories are being out with the dogs with my Dad and Grandad.

Sorry to hear about the young pup - it's certainly been a nasty bout going around this winter.
