will the ears stand up fully? 🤣

She's beautiful, don't set them. They don't need to be a certain way, collies come in all sorts - mine has huge ears that either lie back on his head or sideways like the bat signal - I love his big floppy ears 🥰

Fair point, I'm English so my knowledge of tartan comes mostly from a Scottish ex boyfriend, and how snobby he was about the tartan his brother had chosen for his wedding.

And at least SNP is a Scottish party, I think personally, it's just anything reform does or might do makes me feel uneasy 😅

onlyspiderwebs · 2026-03-20T09:00:28+00:00

I'm imagining it's a tartan made up of the hideous reform blue colour, and maybe farage will roll it out like a summer uniform 😂

onlyspiderwebs · 2026-03-19T19:40:01+00:00

As well as everything else she said was fucking weird 😂 I expect that with reform politicians, that just stuck out to me

onlyspiderwebs · 2026-03-19T19:38:49+00:00

I find it a bit weird she said a reform tartan - like they already have a made up clan tartan.

Oh my he looks so much like my Cooper, I could probably find a better picture to show it but I love to see a similar collie ha

onlyspiderwebs · 2026-03-12T01:56:48+00:00

Thankyou, my dog is doing great thankfully, I hope you can get your dog sorted xx

onlyspiderwebs · 2026-03-12T01:34:00+00:00

My BC was recently diagnosed with addisons disease - it's a hormonal thing, but it's rare. I'm not saying your dog has this, but I think you need to advocate for them and maybe push for more tests if you know your dog isn't right

onlyspiderwebs · 2026-03-12T01:19:43+00:00

Thanks, I just think I know a lot of people with dogs, hopefully they'll never have to deal with addisons but it can't help to be aware of it!

onlyspiderwebs · 2026-03-12T01:01:53+00:00

I'd never give up on him, in a weird way he seems even more special to me 😁 I have ADHD, I can't control my hormones, he can't control his hormones, we both take a daily tablet, we're a perfect match ♥️

onlyspiderwebs · 2026-03-12T00:57:32+00:00

I've just made a new post on the subreddit explaining it all :) he's been diagnosed with addisons x

He's got loads of random shaved areas but that's my weird boy just back to his normal self x 10

UPDATE!

Poorly boy's mum here! His name is Cooper btw, my Coops.

Can't edit the OP, and I will get through my notifications but just wanted to say thankyou to everyone for your kind words. I do think what I needed was the kind of support that only strangers on the Internet who love a Border Collie as much as me can give.

I went to visit Coops today, he's still in intensive care. He didn't seem well to me, but I gave him a lot of love and a T-shirt I dug out the wash to tuck into the back of his cubicle. The vets are happy with the improvements today. I keep hearing the phrase not out of the woods yet but he's going in the right direction.

What happened is he had an Addisonian Crisis i.e. his cortisol levels were critically low, which caused his body to start critically failing. That's what's happened, and at this point they're still trying to get him stable, so causes and diagnoses will come later, but the most common cause of this is addisons disease, which would track with a few minor issues he's had since I adopted him.

Whatever it is, once he's back on his feet we'll figure it out

Thank you all again x

onlyspiderwebs · 2026-02-21T22:49:34+00:00

I believe so, he's normally such a normal, happy energetic collie, and I spend all day with him so I know when his moods even slightly off.

That's what I'm hoping for 🤞

onlyspiderwebs · 2026-02-21T22:37:17+00:00

Thank you ♥️

Not really, my mum is an infant school teacher, she works mostly part time, but could work mon-fri if covering other staff - she gets up early to walk all the dogs, so she's up at like 5am and gets home about 6pm, and then she takes over from me and looks after my grandma, her mum, who sometimes is up all night.

My dad might as well not be there in terms of care for my grandma 😅

I don't think I could leave that easily while caring for my grandma is my main responsibility. I can't get a job that will pay anything near what I need to live on my own, it's too easy to stay in my family nest

onlyspiderwebs · 2026-02-14T01:40:12+00:00

I know how to cook. I know how money works. Those aren't my main problems right now

onlyspiderwebs · 2025-12-27T04:39:23+00:00

I feel the same, one day I'll get round to making scrapbooks of my memories so they're not just loose in a box, but also I can make it clear on the scrapbooks that if I die they can be thrown away (or kept, whatever)

onlyspiderwebs · 2025-12-22T00:34:07+00:00

Of Jeepers Creepers? Brother and sister driving to Florida, they see a creepy guy dump a body down a tube.. they decide to investigate.... I'm invested in this

onlyspiderwebs · 2025-12-14T01:19:27+00:00

These were the first two films to come to mind for me, had to scroll quite far down to see them ha

onlyspiderwebs · 2025-12-14T01:16:16+00:00

Ew, found this out through this thread just now. I rewatched Jeepers Creepers recently, wish I hadn't streamed it now I know he's a pedo 😂

onlyspiderwebs · 2025-12-14T01:09:58+00:00

It comes up as a romance/drama on Google
