I had a cat with toxoplasmosis. It lost all motor function to its back end. He was a wonderful companion and putting him to sleep was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make so far in life. He was like a dog cat cross. He longed for companionship and was faithful and protective like a dog bit was independent like a cat. Best of both worlds.

I know this sounds daft but rivers. They can be deadly. No matter I where I may be in the world I always gravitate towards the river or sea, but I'm always conscious of the power they have.

Spoke to a woman this morning who's just had two dogs very badly injured by Boar up in the Dean............I think it's mating time for them, and that's always dodgy with large mammals................

Both the dogs have survived, and she freely admits that she's allowed them to chase Deer and Boar and that they're out of control when on the chase; her own fault then, I reckon....................atb mac

It's a shame that the dogs had to suffer because of her.

As my grandmother used to say whenever I had a scrape or an illness of any kind, "You'll die after it!"
As a child this used to scare me to death- almost. After passing my allotted three score years and ten, I'm beginning to hope that she was wrong.

How/where did it bite you? I've had them strike at a boot and bite my dog. I'm always wary of hand holds when climbing out of gullies.
