Our dog was really licking her legs and chest the other night. On closer inspection there were lots of little bumps under the fur. Probably 20-30 on her chest, about 10 on the top of each front leg and same again on her back legs.
It was driving her nuts so off to the vet who said it was an allergic reaction and prescribed antihistamines and some cream that sorted the problem. Now she has a bald spot where each bump scabbed and fell off. The fur is growing back already, but now we can see all the reactions were on her chest and at the front of her legs and all were on the top part of the leg and not the bottom.
This would suggest some sort of plant that she ran through that was over a foot tall but less than head height as she had none on her neck or head.
Any idea what could have caused it so we can avoid it in future?

Another vote for salad cream.

My son already had a Class 2 lorry licence he got through the Army. His boss offered to pay for him to do his Class 1. (Not sure what Class 1 or 2 is called now.)
Day 1: Arrive at driving centre 09.00. Check licence and driving lorry out of yard by 09.10. Driving all day till 15.00 with a break for lunch.
Day 2: Same as day 1 but spent an hour reversing between cones and learning to hitch/unhitch.
Day 3: 40 minutes driving round town followed by test. Passed and home by lunchtime.
I thought it would be a much longer process, but well done all the same.

No. You don't need anyone's permission.

The absolute best way to get up their noses is to tell them their English isn't very good and you can't understand them. They pride themselves on being master criminals with flawless accents.

She's a vile woman but it wouldn't make any difference if my sentence was reduced or not. I wouldn't carry the can alone while all those sex cases watched on

I'd sing like a canary if I was her.

A thought has just popped into my head . I wonder how many people are still licking envelopes with their tongue , and how many times covid has been passed along from this in the last few weeks ?.
I licked all my Christmas card envelopes with my elbow.

I'd be looking for a new vet.

Seems like very odd advice from the vet.
Most in-house dog squabbles are food related and if they had been similar size dogs, the damage wouldn't have been so horrible. I fail to see that a dog attacking another dog over food makes it dangerous to humans.
I don't think the question can be answered without knowing the full facts and previous history.

Surely that is high priority as it's a live cable flapping round..
You'd think so. Western Power don't.

I'm surprised they managed that long. When the XR lot "went on hunger strike" in London, they all just went home when they got a bit peckish.

Friday at midnight the top of a tree broke off and crashed onto the low voltage power lines to our house. Despite a live cable flapping around the garden we weren't considered high priority as it was only our house affected and didn't get power back till Sunday night about 23.00.
Luckily we have woodburners so we were warm but we have a borehole so after a few hours of no electric, we had no water for anything. We had to take a full chest freezer to the nearest neighbour and plug it into their barn.
A crew of tree surgeons arrived after dark last night and finally got the problem sorted. Great lads. Climbing a wet 40ft tree in the dark with a chainsaw in minus 1 temperatures is a job I wouldn't fancy.
To the tree surgeons: Well done boys. Stirling work.
To Western Power: You stink.

Spit, like in diver's masks. I thought the heated rear screen button cleared the mirrors too.

I used to be with the Met. They are pretty good at opening tickets once the subject has the appropriate experience. I doubt he'd get one going straight from targets. Probably after a couple of years of live shooting they'd reconsider. I don't believe they'd ask for a mentor for a rimfire, just a closed ticket.

I hear your wife used to keep parrots, or was it she had a cockatoo?
Heard you went to Florida with your family, Tampa with the kids?
Is that banter?
No. Family are off limits in banter so not a good example.

Whatever happened to " sticks and stones"? Grown men crying over words is pathetic.

You've seen the movies, that can be a nasty little finger cutter
Exactly. The scheme is not to remove dangerous weapons. It's to remove any knife that people feel may be a threat to another human. It's a weapons amnesty, in the form of knives.
Any knife could be construed as a threat to another human. Where do you draw the line short of handing in your cutlery drawer?

If we don't know the breed, how do we know it was a grim animal?

I've been selling woodburners for over 25 years now and in your situation you can have both-sort of. find a two door stove (new ones are very rare now, mostly single door) you can have the doors open to sit by the stove and shut the doors up when you are not in the room. stoves are about 80% efficient and open fires about 10%, but open fires keep drawing air from the room when its not lit potentially sending nice warm air up the flue. I personally don't think open fires fit with modern life. I grew up with open fires as a kid, hopeless at heating a room effectively.
This ^^. Best of both worlds.

Yes they can turn up and no you don't have to let them in if it's not convenient, but why aggravate them if you don't have to?
Unless I knew who they were, they'd be kept waiting at the front door till I'd checked they were genuine.

As you say not much around this time of year. Nettles don't normally penetrate her coat. I'm wondering if it was some kind of spray or weedkiller.
