    Did you listen to it sing first?
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Been wrangling with dogs who are being difficult about flea and tick "sweeties", even Bonzo the Hoover/Labrador is being picky despite their being wrapped in beef mince.    Minstrel pussy has added to the fun by being sick all over the rug on the sofa........

    I'm sure dogs know that if they spit the pill out they get more treat when you try again.

    Not here.  I'll be ramming them down their throats when OH is home to hold them for me.  The rest of the mince is now simmering away as a sauce for spaghetti.

    Our dog was an absolute master at spotting, and spitting out, tablets.  Try hiding it in chicken, and chicken was the only thing he would snatch because he loved it so much, and seconds later chicken would be gone and the pill would on the floor.  Likewise if hidden in his food.  After many battles we discovered by accident that if we made him sit and give a paw, he would take it straight away.  Dogs!!

    We had a dog that hated peas. Even if the peas were mixed in, she could empty the plate without ever touching a pea. They would a be in the exact position they started but on a horizontal plane.

    Does anyone know how seed packets are priced? Do garden centres stamp on their own prices or are they stamped with the RRP? Is it worth shopping around?
