Dog not happy...
I'm looking after my son's dog, a male chocolate labrador built like a tank at 14 months old, for two weeks while they are away. My dog Lucy is fine about it and just warns him off if he tries to nick her chew bones or food. But Jack is being bullied unmercifully. Gets his bones taken off him if I'm not quick enough to…

Can any one help with my dog, please?

He hasn't been treated very well by at least one of the…

rescue animals
I am looking at getting a rescue dog and I know they do a lot of checks etc. Does anyone know if they ask for proof of home ownership? I know if you rent they want a letter from your landlord to say they agree to you getting a pet. Thanks in advance

New puggle.......
So, we have a new member of the family, a three year old puggle. We've rehomed him, and he's joined us tonight. He's a great little fella, very loving and docile. He's a bit bewildered, which is understandable, but seems happy enough. Just taken him out for a walk and he's great on the lead, and he's had something to eat.…

RIP Fuzzy-Peg
I found my guinea pig had passed away this morning. She was standing up like she was alive but she had gone :( She hadn't shown any signs of illness - she was 5 so I think it was just her time to go. It's so sad, she was such a lovely GP.
