For anyone who tries/ tried to access the Snip Closing FAQ article, unfortunately we didn't know that it is open on a member of staff's laptop who has a migraine today, so we can't publish it while she is in it. (Hopefully sleeping all day today will have stopped the migraine and she'll be back tomorrow and able to publish.)

I will paste it here for those who need it:

Our Shiatsu/Cavalier spaniel cross would whine, whimper and run back and forward from her basket to the front door.

When I open the door she'll look out and then walk back to her basket if it’s raining!

Funnily, she loved having a bath, especially when SWMBO was in it!

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

Your Grandson must have worked very hard to achieve such outstanding results. Congratulations to him.

Our little lodger is reputed not to ever walk through puddles. I think it's because she was carried over them as a puppy, she's only a little scrap of a thing. When with us she doesn't mind getting her tootsies wet in the slightest. Much to her Mummy's dismay she will not suffer wet feet when she's back at home & will not venture out in the rain.

My dog hated water…he used to walk round puddles. Congratulations to your grandson. The family must be very proud of him.

Congratz on staying upright Beth & to the grandson too.

Well done to your grandson, Beth. a very impressive result particularly as he is a mature student. It is harder to go back to study after a break.

Oh Beth8it, I hope you are feeling better, it's no fun having to look after those wonderful entertaining (for us lot) pup's when you don't feel good yourself. I hope you manage to get your trousers changed soon.

Also well done to your grandson.

Congrats to your grandson! What will his MA be in?

Bet you loved having wet puppies running inside, thinking "oh no, what are they going to soak?" But the water play sounds like so much fun.

My parents-in-law's dog Freda does not like water. She refuses to swim in the sea, even if her ball ricochets from the pebbles into it. She just stands at the edge of the water barking at it.

If a walk includes puddles, she tiptoes through it. It's funny to watch. Also, if it's raining she refuses to go outside and if it starts raining while they're already walking her, she whimpers. But as long as it's not too heavy, the ball can distract her from her pain of getting wet.

My best friend's guide dog Jean also doesn't like water. She's trained to take my friend around puddles, I get that bit, but she won't play in it during free time either. She runs away from the hose and if she gets muddy you have to keep her on the lead and use a bucket of warm water to wash her off. That's the only temperature of water she'll allow. She looks at you with sad eyes while you're cleaning her though.

Mrs. F. My son's Aussie grandmother-in-law is 97. She has lived alone, with family support since her husband died. A few weeks ago she fell, getting out of her chair, and broke her femur. Not wanting to bother the family, late at night, she lay there until 6 am, then phoned and told them. She had an operation to fix the break. Next day her hip replacement popped out, so she had another operation to fix that. She's now having physio to get her back on her feet again. She's adamant that she wants to go back to living alone again. It won't be possible, but the family are going to have a battle on their hands. She's an amazing lady!

Good luck both.

My friend struggled for ages in agony with her hip. She kept delaying it because she didn’t fancy having the op - I told her that she had to have it sooner or later, so why be in pain for years first? She finally went private and had no more trouble.

Hope your second cataract operation goes as smoothly as mine. As you are probably aware already the difference to your vision is amazing.

Also hope the hip operation goes well too. A friend of mine kept putting off his until he finally gave in. Afterwards he said it was so much better he couldn't wait for the other hip to be done.

Good luck to both of you.

My mum had her hip replaced 18 months ago at the great age of 89, she hasn’t looked back since!

GrumpyGran, that's good news too. I hope that the new hip gives you a new lease on life.

Best Wishes to both of you. Good to have this done before the Winter.

Congrats from another GG! I heard yesterday that i'm finally getting my hip replaced on the 16th August! Double-yay!

That's good that you've now only got 3 weeks to wait. I'm sure it will go smoothly.

Nice to hear Gg, not too long...

That's great - really quick, isn't it?

Great news, I hope everything goes smoothly for you.
