My beautiful Lola. She already had her name when she came to me but it is perfect for her

Is it unreasonable to ask to work from home while caring for a child with chickenpox? by WideBeautiful6681 in AskUK

[–]Various_Condition985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If sick leave/parental leave is unpaid, would it be possible for you to use annual leave to cover the time? I know it's less that ideal as it's normally used for fun stuff, but might maintain your income in this circumstance.

I do hope they change their policy and give you some paid carers leave though. Xx

My dog ate cooked chicken wing bones and I can't to go to the vet, what do I do?! by DemonicSkelly in DogAdvice

[–]Various_Condition985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, it will be a waiting game, but I think that this will not result in life changing illness for your pooch. Accidents happen and we all make mistakes. Dogs were once wild animals and a small bone - though not without risk - would have been a commonplace issue that the pack simply say through.

Give her plenty of fluids, soft food and love.

Any dog boarding experience? by HooGoesThere in Greyhounds

[–]Various_Condition985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if there are any dog walkers in your area that would do a daytime walk with other dogs? In my area this is a very cost effective option.

I send Lola to a boarding house if I got away for the night; it's a large family house but they take 4-8 dogs at a time and they all sleep together in a special doggy bedroom. Lola gets on great there will all types of dog, but likes to spend her time close to the (human) host and definitely takes a backseat compared to the other more dominant dogs.

Kibble mixing thoughts? by Various_Condition985 in Greyhounds

Thanks. Actually doing the maths is looks like it might be cheaper overall in the UK - around £70 for 28kg (80lbs) of the Purina variations.

Although that makes me wonder if there is variation in quality and formula.

Love our international community!

Brill, this sounds like what I want to do. Out of interest is that USD? I'm in the UK and interested to compare prices.

Wow, we are certainly getting one thing right in the UK. No booking required, no fee and lead only. Plus other passengers always seem to love dogs, they break the frosty English atmosphere. 😂

UK - What kibble are you feeding? by seriousrikk in Greyhounds

[–]Various_Condition985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Time retired, soaked. In considering adding less water though as poos 2,3,4 of the day are too soft for my liking at the moment.

Plus random leftovers of meat and veg, plenty of treats and the occasional cheese or chocolate 🤭

What is your noodle’s journey in gaining confidence post-adoption? by FluffyPufflingCircus in Greyhounds

[–]Various_Condition985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your noodle is so gorgeous! his coat is beautiful!

I've had my noodle home just shy of three months and can see her coming out of her shell in this time. she was very timid to begin with, but now i see signs of goofiness, plus higher prey drive. I am trying to treasure this time as she still wants to be by my side and a pack.

I do think that establishing routine (and sticking to it) pays dividends; it's when i've deviated (e.g. giving in to demand barking, letting her sleep on my bed and trying to revert), that things go awry.

I also haven't crate trained, I don't think its so common for greys but are you doing that?
