Across the North Yorkshire Moors on holiday in the slowest car in the world; a C5 diesel packed to the gunwales with camping gear. Dogs are enjoying it though, even if they don't entirely get on

No you haven't, they're the ones who put them in a pram when there isn't a need. Nowt wrong with using one to enable him to get out and about and keep being a dog.
Mobility scooters; at a park I saw a chap on one taking his dogs for a run, larger, speedy dogs, that moved at a heck of a lick having zoomies in a straight line. It was raining as well so he had a clear plastic cover over the scooter - think mobility 7. I'm not convinced it wasn't modified for speed, at the very least it must have been derestricted.

Do they agree to disagree mostly and tend to avoid each other and stay apart?

We’ve had this lovely ex-racing greyhound girl about 3 weeks- we were more than a bit nervous getting another dog after Chiefs aggression towards Toby, but we didn’t need to worry as she’s been brilliant. She’s called Missy and is getting on really well with Toby. He’s a different dog altogether having another dog in the house, even though they don’t cuddle in, and quite often sit separately, he’s just much happier in general
Had our first drama today, took them to an enclosed field for a run about and she’s managed to rip out a dewclaw- greyhounds are famous for being absolutely fannies with pain but she wasn’t even bothered. Shot on a bit of wound ointment (dog savlon) with a dressing and some cohesive bandage and she’ll right as rain

‘Ello ‘ello ‘ello. DI Mark Blundell reporting for duty.
On Monday 18 December 2023, I done proceed in a northerly direction to chateau mik, what done be in Scotchland. Here I done observe what be, in fairness, a dog related accidental injury, as it were, right there.
During this event, I done observe a mostly black, but also partly tan German exocet missile be launched themself from an upstairwardly direction upon the instruction of an IC1 male, one Mr mik, of Scotchland, following the verbal instruction of "come on - all of you out to the toilet" as it were. The german exocet missile done arrive at the scene at some considerable speed, and when done attempting to stop on the hard floor surface, done get into a slide and subsequently collide with a sort of crunchy slam into the foot of said IC male whilst still moving at some notable velocity.
At first, this incident done seem to be, to be fair, an simple case of clumsy bastard from mrs Gerrman exocet, but upon further what done be investigation, I done conclude that mr mik done now have an 'ole punched in the side of his foot by the sizeable toenail of the animal. There was, to be fair, quite a surprising amount of blood eminating from the human foot. But none from any appendage of the dog.
IC male mr mik I then done witnessed voicing "fucking dickhead" before compressing said foot to stem the bleeding, applying a plaster, and sodding off to his bed.
At this point, to be fair, I done exited the property and went home, after - of course - issuing the German exocet missile with a warning in regard of observing appropriate stopping distances - particularly under more slipperier conditions.
Over and out.

Isn't the right question why your foot was nekkid, thus inviting injury upon itself? It can hardly be the fault of the canine companion, can it?

Sounds like she nailed you good Mik. Those big dogs can be dangerous, makes you paws for thought.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: 4 Paw Dog Drive Fleet running report
Had to take our choccie lab to the vet today and say the final goodbye.
She did superbly to reach (about 6 weeks over) 15.5 yrs - which is no mean feat for a Labrador - but her quality of life has been heading downhill for some time (with sight, hearing and motability deterioration rather than any specific health issues) and when I had to carry her outside last night to go to the toilet - we knew the balance had tipped.
Being 100% confident that you are doing the right thing for them doesn’t make the process any easier though
She was a fucking epic dog - RIP sausage.

Cheers Alex. I’ve been pretty good all day, but when I fed the other two tonight I had to clean her bowl from this morning and set it to the side. Broke me.

Can imagine that. It'll be a tough time ahead, but take time to grieve.

Aw feck, sorry to hear that
I know from the support you gave me before, during, and after <wee beastie how in tune with her you were and how complete a life she lead. +1 to all that DeskJockey says. R.i.p. Sausage.

Re: 4 Paw Dog Drive Fleet running report
Apologies - she wasn’t called Sausage - it was just one of the names I used to refer to her in later years - she was Lola. As far as I am aware, she was not a show-girl.
