I had a dog flap, into a secure garden but never knew what I would find when I got home. One day, when he was nice and comfy on a chair on a divet cover I didn't recognise. It had been a windy day and it would seem that next doors cover blew over into our garden. He obviously took a liking to it and got it though the flap to sleep on. Another day he pulled down the curtains and curtain rail. Don't ask me how he did it but he got the whole lot through the flap. He must have spent all day working out how to get a 4 ft pole and curtains through a 1ft hole.

  That would be a great onYou tube, plus a dog flap would fit a burgler as well!!
Funny I was told that even for day care I would need planning so I gave up, especialy due to the B&B but we are not doing that now........also, a company wanted to open day  care place in Alloa but were not allowed, same with 2 women I spoke to on a dog walk.....I was told Clackmannan council is much more difficult than Strling where no planning is required...anyway, I gave up on that idea as I could not see myself running after a mad dog in Devilla Forest...so I intend to foster some dogs!!

She's in Alloa, doesn't take them into her own home so no planning issues at all.  She walks them from their own home or place of work.  But I suppose you can't walk dogs on lead with your hip problems.

Sounds hilarious seeing curtains being dragged through the flap! My dog didn't have access to main house at that point as I had already got fed up with her spring cleaning. Even managed to jump a 4' stair gate to shred anything she could find upstairs!


Settled down with a companion but I went self employed after a couple of years and now come home every lunchtime to walk them.

Not got hip problems.....   my hip was put back in place a long while ago, its back problems I have...........mind you, my joints get some strange goings on too!!!!!!
I think about dogs pulling and do not like the idea of taking out dogs that I am  unsure of as I do get off balance due to my back, the lower spine is badly twisted and cuts off my nerve supply with sudden movement........I have no probs with my dogs as they are very good on the lead...but a lot of dogs are very very bad, you should see my brother in laws springer!! it lives up to his name
