We feed ours on James Wellbeloved, it is a good quality hypoallergenic food. They have the Lamb and Rice one, but there are other varieties as well. They also do a sachet food which we sometimes add to their kibble as a topper. http://www.wellbeloved.com/products/dog_food.aspx

I have my fingers crossed for you too and hope and pray that is the outcome of the surgery. I am so sorry Sophie has this, good luck for Tuesday. Keep us posted on how she is doing.

Just thought i would bring this back as i am now getting site is safe. So i presume Norton has cleared something and now it is showing as a safe site again.

Mine is still the same too and i have cleared all i can.(i think) I do trust that the site is okay now but i would feel a lot more comfortable without the site unsafe pop up everytime i come on here. Thank you for trying to put it right with Norton, Heather.

Thank you Eileen.

I don't really want to put any other info on here other than it is the newest version of Norton that i am using.

As this seems related just to Norton, could it be a problem with that?.... i don't get why none of the other anti virus things are picking it up. I am still getting the same threat on here and to be honest it really puts me off being here. I only click on this thread now. It didn't come up for anything in particular on here for me so i don't know what i did to get it to come up to start with, it is always just there and doesn't change. I don't get this with any other site. I hope someone can come up with a reason for it and it can be put right. I miss looking round on here.

The history and cookies get cleared quite often on here so i think i am fine there, also our Norton has only just been renewed so i think it is still at the default settings. I am now on Firefox and still getting the same Norton warning as i do on IE, 298 threats. I think i will stay off here again for a while until it is clear and safe again. I am scared to click on any other threads now except this one.

I am getting the same site unsafe as Megan, it still shows 298 threats on here now. It comes up on all the forum sections i have been in, i haven't clicked around much though as i don't like having the site unsafe on as i don't know hardly anything about these virus things.

I am sorry i am late seeing this.... I am very sorry for your loss Liz, run free Flyboy.

I am so sorry, run free Bear.

I agree, i wasn't offended by your post either. To be honest there were a few other comments on here that did offend me though, then i went out played with my dogs and realised it doesn't matter really what anyone thinks of what i do. I am as safety careful as i can be and both myself and my dogs enjoy it a lot. Liz: i am glad Quinn is ok, things do sometimes just happen no matter how careful we are.

I have to say that i honestly never get fed up playing ball with my two, i really enjoy a walk around the park with the dogs and my dh, watching Holly & Zac run around and have fun is a good thing to see imo. I have never been bored watching them have fun. They make me smile and when you meet up with other people there and pups it is really nice. We do vary the way they play and what we do there but they always have a good run. I personally think it helps keep then fit and healthy, they can't run like that here as our garden is too small. We meet other dogs, we walk round the lakes sometimes, so it isn't all run and fetch. We only go two or three times a week and the rest of the week they get walked, garden play and come out with me a lot. Going to the park doesn't make them want to run like that everyday but they love it when they get to go. I do get that they might get hurt running for a ball but they can also get hurt having zoomies round the garden or playing tug with each other in the house. My two can be quite boistrous with each other when they play tug or when they chase each other round the garden.

Ours do a mixture really, sometimes just plain fetch, which is either Holly first followed shortly after by Zac or they both go together at the same time. They have seperate balls although they do swap and get each others sometimes. They also do the wait and fetch, we usually use a ready, steady, go with that and they can't go until the go word. They actually seem to like you to repeat the ready and steadys or mix them up a bit before saying go...so they do actually listen for the go before they do go. As i throw the park used ones out pretty often they never actually get that worn or dirty and the ones in house are clean apart from some dog slobber, so that is probably why their teeth seem ok. It would be cheaper though in the long term for me to get hold of some of these chuck it balls as well as being better for them.

This is what i can imagine my two doing, i am still going to try and get hold of some though as they are better for them and i can clean them. We haven't got a dog park but where we go a lot of dogs go, this is a public park for all but there is always someone who doesn't clean up after their own dog... which is partly the reason i chuck so many balls out after we go there. I do wonder though on the teeth thing whether it is just some dogs who have stronger teeth or is it because they chew the balls more and that causes the damage. I had never thought about it until i joined this board and Holly was already using tennis balls then. I have kept a check on her since and can't see any worn bits. I don't know whether it is because we mostly use the kong ones and they are better than an ordinary tennis ball or she and Zac have just been lucky and don't seem to be affected by playing with them. I know some dogs destroy them as i often see a chewed up tennis ball at the park, Holly & Zac have never done that..... yet..
