  1. I don’t eat meat and am definitely not having children so I’m definitely doing my bit for the planet ?
  2. I am an animal lover, we’ve always had pets and I also volunteer at an animal rescue, but I completely agree with you that a dog barking constantly would still drive me around the bend. Dogs bark for a reason and it is the responsibility of the owner to find out what that reason is and to stop the dog from barking. It’s selfish and inconsiderate to both the dog and anyone in ear shot of the barking to just allow it to continue.
  3. That is a very specific and quite unusual case though, definitely not the standard situation for bitches.
  4. Yes that is one of the reasons, with the heightened blood supply there is a much higher risk of haemorrhage also the hormones related to the bitch being in season need to settle down before removing the reproductive organs, and there is also the risk of phantom pregnancies a few weeks after a season so sudden changes in the hormones due to surgery at this stage is very unfair on them, and if there was a phantom pregnancy occurring and the operation took place the enlarged milk glands would make it much more difficult for the spay wound to heal. It's standard practice for these reasons to spay at the correct time.
  5. That's not good at all! There are a number of reasons vets say to wait 12 weeks after the season to be spayed, the fact they don't do this would lead me to question using them.
  6. I wonder if they'll stay in it or decide it feels like living in a cold, bleak factory and decide to sell.
  7. The whole thing is an eyesore, I cannot believe they were granted planning permission for something that looks so cheap and nasty and doesn't even remotely fit with the surroundings.
  8. Our front door and the windows on the front of the house have been covered in ladybirds for a couple of weeks now. I had to look twice when I first saw them as I walked up our front path, I wondered what on earth it was. I’m glad it’s not just us this has happened to.
  9. I’ve noticed. Very odd!
  10. Nobody mentioned either way, it was another post that stated...'We're discussing medically verified honest to goodness life threatening allergy here', when actually the thread didn't state medically verified or not and neither did I, I never referred to any specific allergy only how I have noticed how so many people love to give things a label.
  11. You may be talking about medically verified allergies, but this is not how the thread started and it is the original post that I’m referring to.
  12. No I'm not talking about those people at all, I'm talking about people who make something out of nothing as we know so many people do. I have relatives who just love the idea of being poorly, even after health professionals have told them there is absolutely nothing wrong and they still go on fabricating something. I heard a teacher the other day saying how many children in their school now have allergies and she specifically mentioned dogs, so I asked why is this, dogs are not a new thing.......she couldn't really answer. So many people seem inclined to label something medically when it's not actually true.
  13. Or on the flip side why so many people abuse our wonderful NHS!
  14. I'm going to throw a very big furry cat amongst the pigeons here................ I think it's because people now just seem to love to label things, there has to be a name and a reason for everything in the same way that instead of children just being naughty, or having no discipline or boundaries from parents they have got ADHD, Aspergers etc, and how some people can no longer just be down in the dumps or a bit fed up they have to have Depression, or Anxiety or Bipolar, there seem to be so many children with 'intolerances' now to every food group you can imagine, I can never remember that throughout any of my school years and it's the same with the allergies you mention - we seem to give everything a name and then try and follow this up with pumping medication down our necks - it's all very American!
