I was taking daughters Labrador for a walk. She pulled me into some bushes as a result of which I dislocated and fractured my left shoulder! Heavens!! This dog walking lark isn't as healthy as it sounds. Goldfish sound much safer.😉 I hope you're feeling a little better now.

Hopefully being small and elderly (the dog, not me) should mean he'll have his work cut out to drag me off anywhere.🤞 Edited February 28, 2021 by AnnieC 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let us know how it all goes and good luck with staying upright. I hadn't thought of that.😂 Not wonderful at all - I am allergic to all exercise apart from (moderate) walking, so an older dog suits much better. His owner was an elderly lady, living alone, who died recently; as a consequence he distrusts all men. I shall make no further comment... (apart from to exclude the men on here from what I am tempted to say)😂 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecttr Posted February 28, 2021 #16357 Share Posted February 28, 2021 All the best for your recovery Jean. My neighbour fell over at home and broke her hip a couple of years ago. They brought in a top surgeon from London to do the op and now she walks without a stick, drives etc etc and she is now 82 or thereabouts. If I had a dog it would have to be a smallish one, preferably trained to pick up and seal its own plastic bag! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted February 28, 2021 #16358 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The weather round here is 0.c but with the sun up I think it will climb up and burn off the frost on the grass . Good morning everyone on logging in this morning I thought I had logged into Cruise Casualty I never knew Wowzz had taken up Greyhound Racing ? Better to let them race each other and just watch them run . It warms my heart to hear that Annie's going to give an old rescue dog a home. That's wonderful .. I once took in a rescue dog that had belonged to the village blacksmith when he passed away .When I got the dog home ..He made a bolt for the door !! I called the dog "Fag " and every night we would go out for a quick drag ,to be fair I could have called it anything as it would never came back to me . I have been trying to re-home a dog for over a year now. It's a small Yorkshire terrier, and tends to bark a lot. If you're interested, just let me know and I'll jump over next door's fence and get it for you. everyone and stay safe 9 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey16 Posted February 28, 2021 #16360 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Kalos we have one off those dogs living next door to us , it absolutely goes berserk when someone walks by with another dog it smashes it’s face against the window barking and showing it’s teething, the people walking buy just laugh because they know what’s coming, what really annoys me the most is the owner doesn’t correct it until 2/3 minutes later , it lays on the windowsill waiting, it seriously needs anger management course 😡 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neighbours are apologetic and say they have tried everything but it will not stop. I did suggest to them try burying it which did not go down to well . Regarding the dog that lives next to you , I think I know what's up with it . Years ago one of our kids was a bad tempered nasty sod , bawling ,screaming.. peeing all over the place , turns out that was teething too. We bought some Bonjella ?? stuff and problem sorted . So if you have a dog sat in a window teething maybe your neighbour could buy it a tube of Bonjella to chew on , it could just work . 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshirephil Posted February 28, 2021 #16363 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Another nice morning here, warming up nicely after a frosty night, lots of people out walking, Birds are singing, very spring like, unfortunately the trees must have started shedding pollen as I have had a sniffle for the last 2 mornings and my eyes have been a bit itchy. Sorry to hear about your fall Jean, hope all goes well with the bionic leg, you could maybe take up greyhound racing, if they give you enough start you should be fine😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted February 28, 2021 #16367 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Morning everyone. A frosy start down here, 8oC at present but expected to make it into double figures later. Daffodils are all in flower and the tulips are in bud. Nothing doing again, another groundhog day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't call it balmy John but where we sit in the bottom of the valley it is always a couple of degrees warmer than the surrounding areas. It is a bit early for tree pollen and is probably the catkins as Splice the mainbrace pointed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that because they recommended a total replacement due to my age and fitness i had to wait a couple of days for the big cheese to do it. If I had been 85 say they would have done a partial, ie just the ball and not the cup. That doesn't last as long . So sorry to hear of your accident. Hope you get better soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare DamianG Posted February 28, 2021 #16372 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I consider myself a lousy sleeper but compared to the early risers Avril, Angel and Annie my 8am awakening today was a long lie in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eddie99 Posted February 28, 2021 #16373 Share Posted February 28, 2021 There was something in the air last night. I’ve been awake since 2.30. Sleeping till 8? 6.30 is a bonus for me. But, no point in moaning - the more you stress, the less you sleep. It’s yet another beautiful sun-drenched day. Difficult to believe it’s still (just) February. We went out for a long walk pretty early - the pup has come into season (😬my poor little baby!), so we have to do the purdah shift, so as not to be a nuisance to those with entire male dogs Its the penultimate appearance of my Xmas rib of beef today - only one serving left. It’s kept beautifully, frozen flat in plastic bags. We’ve earned that after the walk Have a good day everyone. Special thoughts for Jean - hope you are comfortable and not bored to bits 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
