we have shingle out the front next to the drive and ever neighbourhood cat seems to want to use it as a toilet so we are permenantly clearing up. Knowing the dog waste bins just get sent to landfill with the rest of the general waste i just bag it up and put it in the black bin. Is this right?? Just in case the nightmare neighbour comes out and starts having a go i want to make sure im doing the right thing and can justify (not that i should have to) my actions.x

I have a rash all over my neck, and lower face, its looks like nettle rash just raised bumps, started on Sunday but today it goes between tingling and numb, very odd as I havent been rolling in nettles - as far as I am aware. Anyone have any ideas?

And what was going through my mind as I dwelt on her slowly diminishing figure? Yes, you're absolutely right - I was thinking, "Where does she carry her poo bags then? I hope she picks up after that dog."

Sad but true. Is this the sign of advancing age?

First disaster - water pouring through ceiling on sunday Second - car hit my wing mirror today and smahed it to pieces

What is the third?????

They also had an exhibition on about the holocaust (not recommended for under 14's as showed some VERY upsetting stuff) which again, was so interesting. I must admit i came out in tears, but i really think its so important that people realise the full extend of what went on and the suffering that people had to endure for their beliefs.

All in all a fab day out on a lovely sunny day in town! x

Of course all of our dogs are perfect in our eyes - but if you could design your perfect jack russell what would it look like? Coat type? Colouring? Shape? height? nature? etc etc....

My car is also sitting in the driveway with a blown head gasket. My brother-in-law is going to repair it, but the day he was going to pick it up he was involved in a car accident (which killed a man) and his shoulder is hurt. August was not a good month.

He was playing with her and he hid her bone but when she went to lunge for it he blocked her out and she growled at him. He shouted at her saying "No growling!" and then he moved positions. She did what she always does if shes in trouble and tries to lick his hands with her ears and tail down. So he keeps going "Lay down. Stay!" so he makes her roll on her back and stay there while she looks like shes crapping herself because for some reason the man who she listens to is telling her to submit. Why? She doesnt know! She has forgotten about it now. All she knows is she licked his hands and now she is being made to submit.

I told him that theres no point in having a go over and over as she doesnt know what she has done now. He just said "well she clearly does she has her tail and ears down" He really annoys me.

Ive told him loads of times that its better to reenforce good behaviour and to not create bad experiances by shouting. Yet he doesnt listen because yet again. He is always right!

AHGHUIBISBKJBG Cant wait to move out when I take her with me!

I didn't come on here yesterday as i didn't really have anything to say. I've calmed down but the tears are never far away. So i'm keeping busy doing little jobs round the house. My friend and i are still not talking and it looks like it's going to stay that way for some time. Which has really upset me but i'm trying to put it out of my mind for now. Although that's easier said than done! My OH Garrys been brilliant his really been there for me this week. I have to be on the ward for 7am on thursday. So it's an early start and of course no food or drink from tomorrow evening. So tonight he spoiled me with a movie, a meal and bottle of wine, followed by strawberrys dipped in chocolate and cornish clotted cream icecream. I don't know how i would have coped without the surport from you guys and Gaz over the last week. I just wanted to say a big "THANK YOU" to you all for helping me to make a decision and stick to it!

Kind Regards

Got back last night from 2 nights stopping in Seascale on the west coast of cumbria....yes just next to sellafield....it was quite pretty and the beach was ace for Sammy to run on!

We got there Friday night, took us about 2 1/2 hours to get there from home, it had been a really pleasent journey right along the coast road (A595). Sammy had been really good. We got set up on the campsite which was brilliant, really modern facilities etc. Took Sammy to the exercise field to have a run and do his business etc before bed.

So he stops in the bedroom compartment with us, he tends to just kip on our feet or in between us which we dont mind coz he is extra warmth! So bearing in mind, he had a 2.5 hour journey, then after a run in the field in the pitch black, then another 7 or 8 hour cooped up in the tent.....

Saturday morning, he woke us up which was fine, I opened the door of the sleep part and was laid chatting to Adam, hadnt twigged that Sammy had got out of the tent altogether, he has snuck out the sides, I forget he can squish himself flat when he wants to!

So I got out the tent and saw him playing with another dog at the other end of the field, I shouted his name and he left the dog but ran full pelt at another lady walking across the field and jumped up at her. I shouted him again and he came pelting back at me and jumped at me.

I got back in the tent and told him off at which he did his usual apology stance! HOWEVER lady that he jumped at had come up to our tent and shouted at me that he had hurt her leg and that he was jumping up at another dog and that I should keep jim under contol....I felt about 1 inch tall, I was so upset!

Admittedly, 12 months ago, I probably would have been annoyed tooo never habing had dogs and also being quite afraid of them, but never would have thought to go and have a go at someone like that. I couldnt bring myself to come out the tent for about 2 hours after that!!!!! I felt so guilty about it and feeling shamed that I havent trained him very well etc.

anyway, didnt see the woman again thankfully and the rest of the weekend was quite peaceful. We got Sammy a harness as no matter what I do to stop him pulling on the lead doesnt work and he seems fine on that so pleased with that. Had to also get him a new extender lead as the clip as broken on the one we had. so we got the RSPCA one from Argos, my goodness it its huge! but its 8m long so thats good. The old one, we cut the lead out of it and used it with a tent peg to give Sammy some length to play without us having to keep an eye on him all day.

sorry its long, was just so upset from Saturday but then it turnde out quite well in the end. Em x

Why on earth, didn't the judge just say: "Case adjourned until a correct vehicle is used in the reconstruction"?

Yet another miscarriage of justice... Here is the full story.... [news.uk.msn.com]

Maybe Judge Timothy Clayson would feel different if the dead woman was his mother, wife or daughter.

Nearly half the traffic to my Garnie site comes through the forum - and thank you all for your on-going interest - I am sorry not to have added anything for ages (I blame the forum for being so interesting it distracts me) but will be doing so soon

Because of this I though a few members might be interested to look at the feedback I get from my hit-counter which is through Google Analytics - I have just done three pages for the trafic I have had since I got the plud-in for the data in March.

Info is all furthur broken down - for instance a map of UK or USA showing cities/towns where hits are from

In the unlikely event that anyone would like to see more just ask

Does anyone else use GA for feedback on their websites? It seems to me that it provides you with so much info and is free!
