Hi all, As the weather (kinda) warms, flys..or is it flies? start to come out and be a figurative pain in the behind. We find our little roof garden seems to attract these small fruit fly type things which we've discovered can be dispatched by leaving out a small glass of apple cider vinegar...

In my humble opinion, if you are talking about a forest school where people can learn about foraging and different plants that they can source and take home to their little cottage and rustle up on a wood fire using appropriately sourced and cut wood... then I reckon that is achievable - I'm...

Won't be much consolation to your surrounding feelings, but down south Devon there are quite a few sparrows in our area, they seem quite happy with themselves. We saw quite a few bees a few weeks ago (or a couple months?) on our lavender and fox gloves.... but yeh, not all hope is lost!

Just watched a video on how to play Spoof (I don't know if I have heard of it before) Quite a simple video for anyone that also didn't know. Thank you for the heads up about that, looks fun!

+1 on this, more details/thread/tutorial required!

Hahaha same here! Our older doggo (Scottish terrier) used to growl as a past time.... Admittedly, if you hurt her or played with her feet in a way she didn't like she'd hurt back (I have some scars on my hand when I trimmed her claws to remind me of that....but I'm actually quite fond of...

Thats ridiculous and it doesn't make sense to me at all. A vet clinic is never a calm experience for a dog, they are vulnerable, placed on a table in a room full of weird smells and poked and prodded in rather private locations by someone they have zero experience with. You'd think a vet would...

That looks amazing!

Our terrier is such a softie with people* and generally much more enjoyable to deal with when off lead than on lead, possibly because her pace varies depending on what she comes across, whereas my pace will be constant, so likely more a case that I'm worse on the lead :lmao: *She currently has...

Well... I'm currently working all day every day until at least the 17th of July, so seeing some sort of sunshine or outdoors would be quite a pleasant goal :lol: My goals at some point, perhaps I should stamp that they be completed this year, but I won't hold my breath are more hiking/camping...

Kind of all comes back to the case of what are you "personally trying to survive".... If it's an enemy that are on your heels, then you need whatever can keep you alive and moving for as long as you can... If you're out having a lovely day stroll on some hill top and the weather takes a turn...

Scottish Terrier, 12.5kg! But yeh I think standards suggest 8-10.5 for them? Shes a muscly little so-and-so but has a nice shape to her (has been a barrel before :lmao: ), our older one was even bigger framed and she was 14kg in her prime from a champion breeder - go figure.... her brother I...

@August Landmesser True, but I suppose things are often done in the best intentions (road to hell and all that), in an effort to mitigate the typical ensuing chaos that will come from dog ownership. Additionally "worst types of owners" can sometimes be a bit grey.... does the little old lady who...

Which is why it's always been my opinion that certain dogs in certain hands is an awful idea and that certain people without the necessary skills to handle certain breeds are often the very same ones that are attracted to said breeds. A badly trained human can have a badly behaved cockapoo, but...

Thank you guys :) We both work with members of the public and despite having a wonderful place of work and dealing with absolutely lovely people and rarely any problematic folk, I feel like our jobs and our personal lives are actually polar opposites to our professional lives and being either...

Sorry for creating a monster thread!:banghead:

Evening all, haven't been on here for a while - Last year was up to the wotsits in work and barely a moment to breathe, then the start of the year it's been quite a slow old launch to 2024, spent the majority of Christmas and January doing up and kitting out our camper, went up to Scotland in...

@sidpost I have quite enjoyed the content within this thread, it certainly serves to highlight that perhaps banning a breed will do 1 of 2 things, 1. either make owning one even more "manly/egoy" amongst ne'er-do-wells, let's face it, if they buy one to help them in their illegal dastardly...

@Pattree I think you perhaps misunderstand...we all have fears anyone laughing at mine isn't funny to me, but I can respect that me jumping 10ft in the air over a spider is probably pretty funny to others... so in a manner it somewhat becomes quite funny. I'll then proceed to deal with the...

On the paranormal ghost hunting subject, I'm just going to leave this here:
