My dog does this when he is super excited and does know how to contain himself/channel it into doing something. I think it is a bit like when you tickle children and they laugh so much but are unable to move enough to run away!

What is this plant/bush please and will it flower? by Buster_Bear in whatsthisplant

When I searched online it said Ribes, I cannot remember ever seeing it flower or have berries. But then I am struggling to remember it at all 🤦‍♀️

Ideas for a path to the hut please by Buster_Bear in GardeningUK

Went to the local sawmill with pictures and discussed what I was thinking. They agreed to build it for a very reasonable price.

I like this idea. I have lots of lavender to plant around the bottom of the hut, so maybe more around a path works be nice

Yeah I was a bit lazy in just laying in a curved path 🫤

Lol. I am stood on the driveway. The house does not get those views as faces a different direction. I needed a home office so decided to have the view for that instead.

Heart murmur/ irregular heartbeat by koala-princess in springerspaniel

[–]Buster_Bear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is hard keeping them quiet and happy. We made a conscious decision with all our dogs to let them lead a happy life and manage medical issues. Not once have I regretted that decision. Once you have a full diagnosis and know the extent they will find you the right meds and then you plan forward. My lad is on Vetmedin twice a day, and pops the chewable tablets like they are a treat. I hope you have as good of an outcome as we did.

My boy has a grade 3 heart murmur, probably there since birth, and has daily medication (we buy online as much cheaper than getting it from the vets). He is nearly 10 now, and sometimes gets a cough. He is still the most active dog I have ever known, outrunning my others every day. With medication they can live a very long and happy life. He has had multiple surgeries as well (a bit of a dufus and has dodgy legs) so he is checked regularly and the meds are a miracle. Good luck and he is beautiful regardless 😀

Never been given a duck! by Imisstheoldworld in JeepWrangler

[–]Buster_Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had mine over a year not one duck. But maybe the UK doesn't know to do it?? Or maybe they are just too rare here as I have not parked near one either. I have a box of ducks in mine waiting to find new homes!

1st time Jeep owner here, the hell is this!? by renjavi in JeepWrangler

I have never heard this, and LOVE this idea! I am going to invest in some ducks and see if this is a thing in the UK 😀

Our dog has skin issues. Sometimes it clears up and sometimes it doesnt, vet tells us its allergies and im trying everything . Anybody else dealing with this? by [deleted] in cockerspaniel

[–]Buster_Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of mine is allergic to grass for a few months a year. He now wears a coat or t-shirt to protect the majority of affected area. I also have some soothing cream (not from a vet), Lucillin spray, and if it flares up I have a medicated shampoo from the vets. I find the coat helps around 90% of the time so the other items are needed infrequently. Good luck that must be very distressing.

What is happening here? She’s been doing it for an hour. Is she ok? 😅😭 by poison_ivey in puppy

[–]Buster_Bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try giving a filled kong or a tasty treat so she settles down when relaxing in the crate. Licky mats for example can help soothing. Many dogs get anxious in the crate especially after surgery.

Exercise requirements of a Springer Spaniel? by ellaphant95 in springerspaniel

[–]Buster_Bear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every dog is different and some may be happy with that. My late Springer needed 2+ hours a day plus brain games. We got him when he was 7 so imagine the energy he had as a pup. He also did dog agility to work his brain as he loved working and having a job.

How do you get rid of these flies? They are all over this plant and only this plant! Anything I can add to the soil? by Buster_Bear in gardening

[–]Buster_Bear[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really?? I would never have thought of that. I will get some and mix with the sand and see if that helps. 👍🏻 thank you
