    Rainbows. Standing on the edge of a field, watching my kids and dogs all larking about together in the middle of nowhere. Snow

    I wish that were true! I had my bitch spayed at 11 months old. She never even came into season. She is a big, fit, healthy bitch ... but she's got attitude by the bucket load. Keen is an understatement. Spirited? Yes indeed, to the point of driving me mad. I can only imagine what she would've been like if she weren't spayed! It changes nothing imo

    I have both young kids and dogs .... and most of what Moll and Skycat applies to both Positive training is very useful. But without an understanding of consequences, positive training is moot imo. For instance .... at my son's school there was a very wayward child. He would regularly kick off: ripping things off the walls, throwing things, kicking kids, climbing up things etc etc. The other children were simply told to ignore him and if they didn't do that they were bollocked (very wrong if you ask me). So one day my son, then 6, came home and had a tantrum of epic proportions. Very out o

    Oh crikey :laugh: :laugh:

    Wxm, she said that to me with a totally straight face. My solicitor put her hand on my arm to keep me from kicking off ... but I did let go of an epic tirade about my feelings on what she'd said. And when I was done she shrugged and said it to me again, made a note and granted access. That's courts for you.

    Scot, I did move heaven and earth. I had police reports, photos of my injuries on various occasions.... Proof that he'd had no input or contact and had never been a father to them. But like I said, they believe a bad father is better than no father so none of that mattered. He wanted access, they gave it to him. So what's best? Even if I'd tried to leave the country, they'd have found me. Then I'd be in jail. And what good would I have been to my kids then? It's the worst possible situation to be in.

    I very much like the look of her ....

    It's a mind blowing situation when all you are trying to do is raise your kids well and do the best by them and the court gives access to someone who will hurt them - physically or otherwise. I lost so much sleep over it all, I was stressed to the max. Even sitting in the same room with him made me feel like I was going to vomit. Whilst we were sitting in court the clerk actually said to me 'a bad father is better than no father'. Seriously. That says it all really.

    No idea the ins and outs of this BUT - if the court orders access and there have been no charges laid in the past there isn't a damn thing you can do but let the kids go. Or face jail. My ex was given access - he wasn't physically abusive but in every other way he is detrimental to my kids. And if I had breached the order I'd have gone to jail. Thankfully he breached his own order by not complying and seeing them when he was supposed to and he no longer has access. My advice would be photograph and document EVERYTHING. Get the kid to the doctor so there is a record. Report it all.

    Freezing here today too. I was out with mine today, and we got an epic downpour of hail My hands were numb, I couldn't see .... dogs didn't seem to notice tho They only started shivering when I brought them in to dry off.

    My whippet is soft - comes in the house and curls up right against the gas fire. And then when I'm going out or to bed, he goes out in the kennel and curls up in there with the lurcher. No problem at all. He only shivers when he's stood around in wind and rain and cold, like when we're on the school run and waiting at the gates. And my 26" rough coated grey/saluki/beddy/BEARDIE cross does the same damn thing. Kennel them out, keep them in, do both ... whatever you do, so long as you keep them well they adjust to what their life is.

    Well Mack I think we've had the Ontario conversation before. Nepean is a nice place but cold as the proverbial witch's tit, as you know. Having lived in Ottawa for a few years I can say two things: I like it a lot there. And I will never go back to that city I've tossed around the idea of going back home a few times ... part of me wants to, part of me not. If I went back to Ontario I think I'd head up Perry Sound way, Georgian Bay. Bloody brilliant up there. LOADS of snow, but brilliant none the less. It does take some getting used to, the long cold winters. The heat waves in summer
