    Hi Flash699. Regards dogs, our Australian border collie, seemed to 'know' that the Alpha Dog was injured. I think dogs have this kind of sense. He was very respectful around me, calm one would call it, in comparison to his normal level of excitement/anticipation. He's not been a problem at all...

    HI WFD, Thanks for the reply. I have a bladder, that's what I'm calling the thing that the water runs through, it's a knee version but admittedly is not as large as I'd like. The thing I'm struggling with in this regard is what to use to keep the bladder off my skin (it's too cold to put right...
