I’m afraid it has been confirmed – I heard the staff talking about the “pretty one’s” visit to see her mother with my own ears. Not that I don’t trust “my poncy brother” you understand, I mean he is as honest as the day is long, I don’t think! After his recent jape regarding our trip to see “the bloke who sticks needles in us once a year,” you can’t be too careful. So she is off at the end of the week, and we are being left in the less than capable hands of “the one I don’t trust.”

“This could work in our favour” said Ginger Tail. “What do you mean by that” I said. “Blackmail” she whispered furtively.

Unfortunately, as dogs age, they become susceptible to the same degenerative problems that we do, which means that arthritis among older dogs is extremely common. In some cases, this can lead to excruciating pain and can become crippling. The most common drugs prescribed for canine arthritis are NSAI (non-steroid anti-inflammatory) drugs.

Sometimes we are carrying items that don't allow us to open a gate or climb over it. That's where The First Years Hands Free Pet Gate by “Learning Curve” comes into play.
