Suspension from workYes I am confident that I have nothing to fear and any complaints are unfounded, but my quibble is the way it has been dealt with. I plan to go to the CAB on Monday morning and if necessary phone acad, as I am sure that they have not followed correct procedures... I'm fed upViewDate:

Collies - [DELETED_MEMBER]Thank you for the dietary and supplement tips, I will be sure to try them out and see if there is an improvement... I'll update you Lionel. I hope that your dogs continue to enjoy good health for a long time to come. I am unsure of how I will react when Ben leaves us.but I think I will have a broken heart. Yes dogs generally have always been a preference over children especially those aged 5 to 21, no I definitely would swap too haha . I am sorry to hear about your wife's illness Lionel, it must be very hard for you, but I can imagine how the dogs are with her, they have a genuine "I love you " look in their fixed gaze that can't be denied and I know from personal experience that it is very comforting and relaxing to stroke them, the affection can be felt radiating from them.... I love collies..... XxViewDate:

Collies - [DELETED_MEMBER]We have a border collie, Ben,or should I say he has us. He is ten years old and the best dog I have ever owned, I doubt we will ever find another dog so well behaved and loyal as he is with us, he is a joy to have round the house, and I can honestly take him anywhere with me he is so good. Im just hoping he will be with us for a good few years yet... Thing is when he is out on field he shows no signs of age ,he dashes about jumps up into the air, generally acting like a dog of 3, then a few hours later he finds it hard to jump on the couch and rise off his back legs from lying down, sometimes he limps a bit then the following day he walking normally, all the symptoms of old age seem to hit him for a few hours, I'm not sure if the vet should examine him or it's just old age,I have started taking him out every other day to slow him down a little,as I have never lived with the same pet for 10 years I am unsure, I would hate to think of him being in constant pain, though he shows no sign of discomfort before our walks/runs, I have noticed he is slowing down and it takes him longer to get up, but only in the house, he is like a pup when he is out on field . Yes, collies are much better friends than people are.
