I’ve gone a bit mad, basically I’m doing our Maudes head in, I’m always at home now under her feet, I briefly said I’m gonna but some chicks and a coop and raise chickens for their eggs, she brush me off with a “yeah ok sure you will”

5am this morning I was up feeding the fuckers because I could hear them chirping. 
I want a couple of Pygmy Goats but considering how quickly I went and got some chicks, she’s put the brakes on that. 

Shes agreed to let us get another dog, so all day I’ve been looking at what I want, and I can’t make my mind up, love walking in the morning and evening no matter the weather, got plenty of land at the back of the house for them to go outside.
 

Already have a Beagle who has his mad moments but is really obedient, loyal and protective of the sprog. 
So looking for a dog who likes exercise and is good with kids. 

Wife wants one of the following, Boxer, Bulldog, French Bulldog.

She can fuck off. 
Recommendations? Dos and Don'ts?

We use one in Leigh, only drawback is you are sat for ages after your appointment time because he takes so much care of his patients 😊

Which vets is that then? We changed vets a while back, but not been too impressed with our current vets.

Chad Northcott is the vet I mentioned, top bloke. When our last dog was fading with old age & infirmities the wife was able to message him even when he was on holiday.. At his own request.

Great dogs, we currently have one thats 13 and still like a pup and we lost our other 2 years ago aged 14.... We're looking at another dog now and are considering another border collie.

Please make sure they stay with their mother for an adequate amount of time. Don't be tempted to have them too early.

Will benefit them and you in the long run.

Oh no definitely not, Think our Beagle was 8 weeks but he was underweight so he stayed for an extra 2 weeks

Our cockerpoo was 12 weeks, the owner didnt advertise them till 10. Said it made a world of difference. 

12 weeks is best I would say

Can anyone help a neighbour;

Help needed. is there anyone out there that could treat my dogs anal glads. He has been struggling for a few weeks. Obviously the vets is closed and are unable to help. We have tried ourselves ( courtesy of U Tube) but had no impact. He is feeling miserable and constantly chewing at himself. I’m not very hopeful anyone can or be able to help, but thought I would mention it just in case. We are both low fairly low risk, my husband hasn’t been out except for a short evening dog walk, and I shop once occasionally twice a week and walk the dog early morning.

Rang my vets yesterday to order worming tablets. Sorted no problem; I'm surprised the person says their vet is shut.

Must be available for emergency treatment at least.

I’m more concerned at the sprog killing the chickens if I’m honest

Biggest risk with chickens is feeding them Indian Corn and one giving the other a piggy back over the wall.....

Don't be a dickhead like me and fuck up your insurance cover. Go for lifetime cover but make sure it isn't limited to £1k a year like mine is. I am now nearly £2k lighter after the pooch had surgery.

I don’t fuck about with Insurance of any kind. Especially with the dog
