    Climatising A Plec

    Well I havent got any problems with anything like that, he looks healthy enough which is a surprise! His colours are very nice, and he looks good...Although I dont know much about his internal health yet, and to be honest, im not expecting him to live for a long time (he is supposedly 8-10yrs...

    Climatising A Plec

    He is still alive which is good, wasnt sure how he would go with the change of both temperature, and conditions!

Ive not smelled anything so bad except in woods or something...I couldnt leave the guy like that It was as if he was forgotten about, just fed on goldfish flakes at times!

    Climatising A Plec

    Large Angel

    Your not the only 1! But to collect him would cost me either a fortune in petrol, or a fortune (£200) to get a courior to get him...was gutted too as he is the exact same as the angel I have had since I started in this hobby! I lost the rest due to my own stupidity, but no matter how bad it got...

    Just the thought of losing her brings a lump to the throat, as although she really annoys me sometimes, especially when she has her "Im not going to listen to you or anyone and do what I WANT, not what you want" days, but I couldnt bear to lose her as I do love her to bits! The £40 to help calm...

    She is so sweet looking! its hard to imagine mine was that size when we got her at the start of last year, although for some reason she is still relatively small, but could be because she was bread as a gun dog more than a working dog There is only 1 thing I have to say I hate the most about...

    Stormy

    Cheese is a great way to teach labs! Everything they do when it comes to training is repetition, with rewards of cheese! Apart from barking, my Lab learned every command by both voice, and hand signals All by the time she was 8 months old! Cheese is good for them, less fattening than alot of...

The filter sponges in the stingray are...

    Rage Against The Machine For Xmas No1!

    There is a HUGE downside to this though, and thats that Simon Cowell wont be too upset, as Rage Against The Machine are signed to Sony Records, which is part owned by Simon Cowell! So either way he will still be getting money! But the good thing is, maybe it may make him think twice about the...
