I had to take a very sick 10 month old puppy to the vet this morning, he was vomiting diahorrea

The daftie had swallowed stones, one lodged in his colon and the other blocking his small intestine.

£1200 plus VAT or thereabouts for x-rays, blood tests, operation etc!

I dont pay the bill but I cant help thinkng I wont be getting a Christmas card from Guide Dogs this year.

Looks like a good way to get attacked by a territorial swan or two to me . I bet you can't get out of it in a hurry either.
There is a well-known swan around Cambridge who is so aggressive that he is known as "Mr Asbo". On the other hand, there are other dangers in masquerading as a swan in Oxbridge. I'm sure that many of you know the limerick.

Sorry to hear about the pup Ken. I hope he makes a full recovery.

What goods a guide dog that vomits diahorrea, especially if its owner can't see to clean it up Doesn't sound like a good candidate for a guide dog to me

You wouldn't need to see it, you just smell it.

There are some lovely walks in this area but unfortunately you couldn't throw a stone without it landing in dog poo.

How is the wood pile HG?
Stocked well thatnks Gwyn.

Just back from London, went down (not 'up' as the southerners say!)for the flotilla and concert.

Saw bugger all of the river thing due to a tall g*t with binoculars, but Honesty managed to get a few hundred shots on the K200.

The concert last night was great, we were at the back, the four people with two Pentax DSLRs,you couldn't miss...

... no wait a minute, you could miss us, but look hard, very hard..

Good beer down there now as well.
Cheers, HG

So did any of you see the transit of Venus? It was (and is) chucking it down with rain here so there was no chance.

Not that I could be bothered to get up early enough to see it any way.

Just clicked on an advert on the right had side of the forum page: Pentax at Comet, where I thought Ah, there may be a bargain to be had. Alas after looking through 9 pages, Pentax were not to be found

I did that as well. I do hate ads that hijack a theme.
I also hate the sites that google finds that do the same when your looking for something and have to wade through dozens of wannabees with nothing to offer

regards
Bernard
