Yep looks like its gone, there was a fair bit of carp on there i agree, and i often wondered why people would slag off another persons dogs without seeing them work. There were some people who genuinely just wanted to argue. However i used to really enjoy some aspects of the forum, some of the write ups on ferreting for example were very good. Hey ho, along with Countryman's weekly, and Trout Fisherman another field sport source ends. Cheers. Aled

LOL, 😄

Blimey....i wish i understood what you guys are on about...yeah i know English is my second language but i did pass my GCSE English Language......

Ah well i never knew that!

😕No idea what you guys are on about, but we still can't access it.

A situation we as a family are facing now, my aunt is 94 years old is in a home, and is not terminally ill, she is old full stop. She flits in and out of reality, my Mam called to see her last week, she told my Mam, that she prays every night for God and Fred (her deceased husband) to come and get her. If she could take a route out of life, she would. Take what you want from my comments.

Thanks both.

I know there are a few The Hunting Life forum members also members here so.... Anybody else unable to get on to the forum? I've been offline for a few days due to Storm Darragh and web site now appears unreachable. Cheers. Aled

Another childhood hero has sadly passed away. RIP

I really don't know i'm afraid.

Thanks Marsh Man, i was reminded of how my body felt on a Sunday morning during my final 2 seasons of playing rugby (retired aged 37),...i was stiff everywhere except where i wanted to be stiff! ...however smarmy joke aside, Celt is back to his old self this morning, i think a bit less silly food to help him reduce his weight, and an acceptance that he'll need rest for 24 hours is the way forward. Plus you move supplement and fish oil! Cheers All. Aled

The Labrador we had when i was a child would move to the front window to look out for me coming home from school, usually about 5 minutes before i came around the corner.

Thanks for the replies guys, dog still eats his food wags his tail toilet function fine, and is happy. This evening, a nice trot trot walk with the tail wagging. So it seems rest and good food was the correct advice. Vet did say when i took him for his kennel cough vaccine that joint supplements and fish oil would be a good idea he is approaching middle age. Celt (my dogs name) has two long walks a day one in the morning and one during the evening, and a short walk lunch time. We go out shooting once a week, when rough shooting we are working hedgerows woodland etc, when wildfowling the walk to the site is quite long (but no further than his morning walk) but we are not hunting cover and are stationary when shooting. Cheers. Aled

Hello All, OK looking for some advice. My Lab cross NZ Huntaway is 7 years old he has been neutered He seems to have aged immensely this year, we had an hour and a half rough shooting yesterday, and today he is completely inactive, does not want a walk, has lain on the sofa all day, and basically done nothing! Now when he saw me open the gun cabinet yesterday, he couldn't wait to get going, and he worked well, but at 7 i did not expect this level of lethargy the following day. My previous dog was 10 before this happened. He is slightly overweight. Is this normal? Cheers Aled

Sat in a pub today with 2 medical professionals, both mentioned that primary health care and local patient knowledge was not as strong these days as it once was, therefore decisions on care were often made on "medical/scientific" knowledge, not "patient" knowledge. Both claimed this could make this issue a lot more clear cut.
