The only answer i can give you is "dog's stuff" Myself and soon to be mrs pudding have a cat . The cat will sit on one cuboard at 1 side of the kitchen but not the cuboard on the opposite side . To the best of our knowlage the cat has not fallen off the "nasty" cuboard, STBM pudding ask the same kinda question about the cat . "cat's stuff".

I hope someone somewhere will give a more "sensible" answer than me.....

 

all the best yis yp :ph34r:

I have only had one jack russel and he showed that same comical trait, but the thing that I remember most about him was that he suffered painfully with the effects of stinging nettles on his pads especiallyaround early summer when the nettles were low growing and particularly potent. Although a tough little dog, I can remember him being in a lot of distress after a days shooting and unable to rest because of the nettle stings, until one evening I stood him in a shallow tray of vinegar, which

solved the problem immediately. Prior to this, I thought that a dogs pads were able to withstand anything. Ive never had this problem with any of the springers that Ive kept but have heard of other J Russel owners who have noticed the same. By the way, vinegar gives rapid relief for nettle stings on humans, the acid neutralizes the alkali.{as if you didnt know}

brooktrout, this Jack doesn,t go near stinging nettles, he rarely gets his feet dirty. :lol:

 

The vinegar tip, is a good one, I have used this in the past.

I,ve also heard that regular wiping of the pad with vinegar, can harden the pad, making it less sensitive to stings, thorns, etc.
