	Looking for people who travel with their dogs My wife and I created www.GoPetFriendly.com to make it easier for people to travel with their pets. I recently started a blog post series about people who travel a lot with their pets. We interview people whose lifestyle allows them to spend A LOT of time on the road. Then, we share their stories in hopes of inspiring our readers. Here is a link to the most recent post in the series. We know you live in the UK, but I don't think that matters to our predominantly US readers. The common denominator is that you travel with your dogs and encounter the same challenges we all do. I am hoping to find some one willing to do an email interview with me. I would submit questions for you to complete at your convenience. There is no deadline. I hope you will say yes!

	Advice on agility dogs with missing toes! I have a very talented 4 year old collie who has a 'live fast, die young' attitude who recently, whilst chasing a ball, sprained her outside toe on her off fore. X-rays show she has damaged the ligament quite badly and, after referral to a specialist vet, we have been given three options: 1) A prosthetic ligament, 2) fusing the joint or 3) removing the digit completely. My vet has recommended the third option as this would offer a complete pain free remedy as she would never go lame on it again. They do not think it will affect her agility performance as it is not a weight bearing ligament. However, i'm sure you'll all agree this is a major decision to make as once removed you can't put it back! I would be grateful if anyone has any stories and or advice on this subject. Thank you. Isabel. (23/11/10) Contact: Please call or email Isabel on tel. 01638 665509 or email: isabelmonk@yahoo.co.uk

	Advice/suggestions re: spayed bitch incontinence Bonnie is a 12 1/2 year old Westie bitch. Been on propalyn for ages for the above. Always seemed to do the trick until recently when the problem became much, much worse. She wets wherever she is - awake or asleep. Vet suggested a possible infection and prescribed anti-biotics. Must admit these seems to have helped a bit but she still urinates in her bed every night. Apart from the pain of having to wash (and dry) the bed at this time of year - her fur is stained -probably permanently - and her aroma is not too good. As I said, she's a Westie so constant bathing not a good idea. The vet now talking surgery. Want to avoid this if I can. Does anyone have any other solution that they know from experience works?
