    Thank you Bubbs, yes I am feeling a bit better thanks. I have pushed myself to do more today so I'm pleased because up to this morning everything (even simple things like getting a shower) has felt like a huge effort and I was starting to get a bit worried.

    Anyway I've done some hoovering and laundry and ended up going to DD's so I could vacuum the car on her driveway, then I sat in her garden in the sunshine for a while. Little things, but a big improvement. :)

    Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear this. You must be devastated:o we will never know why she reacted this way but she's obviously very fearful and it must make you feel very nervous Susan ....can you even trust her again? It doesn't bear thinking about if it had been a child:o

    Where do you go from here...you obviously want to do right by her but what about Berry and Noela who look to you for their security.
    What on earth are you going to do?

    Susan, I'm sorry to hear this as she seemed to be going in the right direction. Mind you, taking anything of a strange (to her) dog and taunting is in my book asking for trouble.

    Just hoping that you can get some answers and help for her as she deserves a chance. Hugs to you sweetheart, try not to fret too much, help is out there xx

    Many thanks everyone. What a day I've had. Friends telling me I should lock Emily in a crate in case she attacks me - she slept on my bed cuddled up against me as she has all week for at least part of the night - all evening last couple of nights. No agression to me whatsoever and I feel that I am safe with her. Today, she haven't had much of the pushy behaviour towards my two so not so bad there

    But I have been trying to sort it all out. The lady she bit got on to me and wants her destroyed. She has changed her tune on how it happened, forgetting that she repeatedly said to me that it was her fault for putting her face so near a fear agressive dog, now saying that Emily had tasted blood and would always now bite to get more blood (totally untrue or police dogs would be after blood all the time) So we have chased up contacts we have and sorted a placement out for her. Under instruction from a lovely lady from Stoke area who deals with many dogs with behaviour problems, I sent a message to the lady saying that Emily had been signed over to this Stoke rescue for assessment and possible rehabilitation so ownership is now transfered to them, giving her full details so she could ring them or give these details to police if she gets them involved. Just have to arrange transport for the poor baby and they will take care of her. She will NOT be destroyed. If she can't be rehabilitated, they will find a place for her where she can still be happy, but not in a home

    I can't take her out for walks now as if anything happened I would be totally at fault - plus of course not forgive myself - but luckily she has started to use the garden more

    Evening All,

    Has anyone had problems getting a refund for substituted items?

    12 days ago, all 10 sharpies were substituted for others worth £50 so I claimed a refund as they were not the ones I wanted.

    Got an email not long after to say my refund was being processed and I would get another when it had been. I've not received an email or refund, email says it can take up to 3-5 days but well past that now.

    Thanks,
    Sad_Dad
    I refused five subs recently, only £15 refunded, still up on the collection so I let it go.
    Does anyone know if, for instance, a £30 shop is paid for using £20 of evouchers how is the refund made? I recall there used to be a problem when recycling.

    Second favour please, as I'm up near the £100 for March, can I do a collection, check on price promise and not claim until April?

    TIA.

    Hugs 3Dogs (((X)))

    If police get involved don't think they will be happy when they know reason why Emily attacked woman. I would never put face near a dog eating nor pull its chew away from it.

    Will the lady in Stoke keep you updated on how Emily is getting on ?

    Glad Emily been using garden more :)
