Quick q for anyone with experience of spending the large APG's - Henlans I see you have lots!
I have a £20 one to spend and I am scared of trouting! I'm thinking of spending it in George maybe - I wonder if this would be easier.

I haven't had any problems with large apgs as long as I spent them against large shops. IMHO if you present a £30 apg for a £35 shop it will ring alarm bells but use it against a £100+ shop and you should be ok. You can always buy clothes or start stocking up for Christmas.

I have a very sad doggy at the mo, we lost her companion last month:(:( I just don't know what to do to make her happy again:(:(
We have thought about getting a new dog, but really can't commit to training a new puppy.
We have thought about getting an older dog, but with small kids around, we would rather know how it has been treated etc... If my kids were older, I would in a heartbeat rescue dogs from all over the place:eek::eek::eek:
Since our old boy has gone, my gorgeous girl has developed blocked anal glands (sorry if that is too much info:eek:) for the second time. I don't know why this has happened, as she has been perfectly well for 7+ years:(:(:( and has completely gone off of her food.

Any advice please? What would you guys do?:A:A

Nearlysorted, I am so sorry that you lost your old dog and that your new dog is so sad. Some dogs do fine as an only dog, but others really appreciate a canine companion.

I totally understand your concern about an older rescue dog and not knowing how the dog might react with your children, but this shouldn't be a problem so long as you go to a reputable rescue shelter that properly assesses the dogs behaviour around children.

I wouldn't recommend getting a rescue dog direct from an owner who is looking to rehome a dog as they may not be honest and just want to get rid of the dog BUT the last thing a reputable rescue wants is a dog not settling in its new home and "bouncing back."

Taking on any dog is a big commitment so I would really take your time and maybe go visit a few local shelters to get to know the dogs in their care. If you don't feel up to that at the moment then many shelters now have details of dogs that need homes on their websites.
You could even just call then and explain your situation and ask them to keep you details on file until a suitable dog comes in? You will need to take your kids and other dog so you can all meet the potential new dog and see how everyone gets along.

I adopted a dog aged 8 who is an absolute darling with children. She came into the shelter with 2 other dogs because the couple had got divorced.

If you want to search for local shelters in you area, this database is handy (scroll down until you find the county you need):
http://www.veggies.org.uk/acd/europe/uk/rescue/rescue.htm

If you don't feel ready to take on another dog until your kids are older, then do you have any friends or family with a friendly dog that might be able to visit or go for walks with your dog?

Regarding the anal glands problem, you could try giving her shredded wheat, bran flakes or weetabix for her breakfast meal. These are high in fibre & will bulk up her stools which will in turn press against the glands and keep then healthy. (sorry if TMI all!)

Your dogs loss of appetite may have affected the consistency and frequency of her stool and can in turn affect the glands.

Give her some gentle hugs from me. x

By the way Hi everyone! :wave:I am new to this thread but not new to MSE and am normally only browsing on my phone so a bit fiddly to post much! Though I do hit the thanks button as much as possible.
I love the friendly nature of this thread and the fact that you help each other out. I have managed two successful shampoo shops a few days ago, so a big thank you to everyone who has posted details of their shops. I am now laid up recovering from wisdom tooth surgery (ouch!). :eek:

Bye for now (sorry for the long first post!:o) & Happy Shopping all!
MM x

Edit: I just read through the posts after your post and see I am repeating what other's have already said! I am a bit slow with the the old typing lol! x
