I've passed all your very good advice onto my daughter in law, she seems so concerned she said she is going to take the puppy to the vet, although I did point out to her that there is very little a vet can do really. She's got it into her head that it's the food she is giving her and that maybe she ...

Yes lancashirelass she does go out last thing at night, I think they go to bed around 10.30pm and put her out then and she always does a pee. They do get up quite early in the morning as they have a 9yr old so she is up around 7am, but the puppy is already awake by then! They are feeding her 3 meals...

I mentioned some time ago about my son getting a puppy, well she is now about 19wks old and has been with them since the beginning of August. Thankfully they are managing, with help from us, to make sure she isn't left alone for long periods of time. However they are struggling a lot with her at nig...

I do love Bake Off too, although I think over the years Paul Hollywood has got a bit too big for his boots. Baking bread is hard enough without not being given enough time to actually prove the bread for the amount of time it needs so I'm not surprised most of them failed. I bet even the great Mr Ho...

Well they have paid the deposit for the puppy and went up to visit her yesterday, so they are definitely going to get her. My son is much more sensible than my daughter in law when it comes to this whole subject, as he was living at home when we had our labrador, so he knows how much work puppies ar...

I'm terrible for not eating things that are out of date. My other half doesn't care so if he catches me before I throw something out he will eat it. I've got jars of jams and pickles in the fridge that say 'use within 6wks of opening' and I won't eat them once they've been in there any longer, but h...

You know puppies need constant care, supervision and company Lynn. Popping back for lunchtime isn't enough, although many do, do it. Housetraining may take longer, and they can grow wild like weeds. How sad that at 3 months a baby is being left on it's own. But you know that don't you ? It really w...

My son and his family are picking up an 8wk old cavalier kings charles spaniel at the beginning of August. I'm a tad worried about how long she will be left on her own and wonder if anyone knows how long a puppy can be left alone before they become lonely or anxious. I know that for the whole of Aug...

I think that's terrible, why do people has so little regard for nature and how come it's so hard to stop them doing something like this

Well ,change what you can, reconise what you can not change , Be a wise person that can tell the difference. It would seem that you reconise the problem , maybe you should try stepping out of a comfort zone and bite the bullet , join a dog training class .The dog would be the focal point and you wo...

I also suffer with depression, brought on because I also have anxiety and agoraphobia and the lack of social interaction and being stuck in a lot can bring me down. I've been on antidepressants for years now and am too afraid to come off them, even though I don't think they really work now. I only t...

I started taking a Vit D supplement a couple of years ago as I really don't get outside enough in general, so thought it wouldn't do any harm to take a low dose, although I am thinking perhaps I'm not getting enough as there is only 5 μg in each dose. I do recall seeing a TV programme about it once ...

I forgot it was on, also forgot that I must have deleted the series link from the first series, in which case it would just have automatically recorded it

Thanks for the helpful replies We went to our local garden centre yesterday and had a look around but all of their trees were pretty large, apart from the fig ones. So I guess I'm going to have to find one online, I quite fancy a little Victoria plum as I had one in my old house and it was beautiful

We don't have any regular sized fruit trees in our garden as it's quite small and the flowers on the few trees we do have are quickly eaten by all the local pigeons. Yesterday we were in our local garden centre and we saw a small fig tree. The woman at the nursery said it would grow fine in a pot, w...
