I was probably asking the wrong person---a lady who sells them & does made to measure-:o -but her theory was a probable one..... Because we now live in draught-free heated homes, the animals no longer need to grow in a winter coat.:rolleyes: Is this fact or am I being gullable as usual? Also 6mt old pup doesn't like going…

Mice!
Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but seeing as we are not sure if our cat is the culprit, it's kind of relevant. Yesterday morning, cat saunters into the living room with a mouse in her mouth. Now because there was nothing wrong with it, and she kept letting it run away and then catch it again, we took it off…

Help - Hamster got under the floor!
Has anyone got any ideas on how we can find Mr Nibbles. He escaped from his cage yesterday and got through a gap in the floorboards. I've removed as many as I can but can't find him.

Dog grooming, proffesional ?
Firstly how much is it, ish? For a german shepherd. Secondly is it worth it ? Anything I should be wary of ? Megan is a bit heavy to put in our bath and can't be lifted easily, she's too old to jump in, to be honest I think she could do with some pampering, also her claws are getting long no matter how much she's walked,…
