Cardboard box from? That got you all looking LOL! I need to find a big cardboard box somthing like the old m.f.o boxes. My dog is having pups next month and i refuse to pay £50 for a whelping box. Anyone got any ideas? Removal firms only use the small ones now(H & S reasons)
Cheers
Steffi

Motorbike shop. Trust me, I'm a doctor.

steffiraf

They put bikes in boxes nowadays?

steffiraf

seriously am grateful for everyones help but not sure how seriously yr all taking this?

Karl 227

Listen carefully, because I will say this only once. Motorbikes are delivered on pallets with bloody great cardboard boxes over them.

steffiraf

I shall ring Eddy's forthwith, thanks

Karl 227

And may your puppies be all cuddly and warm. The little doggies should be quite happy as well.

I have a Harley Davidson box being put to one side this week. I thank you.
And my puppies are lovely and warm thanks

After inspecting your flaps, gash and box at a recent meet, I would relish the opportunity to have a look at your puppies Steff

Thought you were in France ATM Are either of you coming tonight

PS. Could've got you a printing plate box, approx 1.2 x 0.8 x 0.5m triple thickness if I'd spotted this earlier.

steffiraf

Cheers Dave. You may view my puppies anytime you like

We got back from France last week. I dont think we'll be coming tonight, my new wheels have just arrived and i want to get them on but Paul not home till 5
I may come back to you on the box, will see what Harley come up with first tho. Thanks

corradoboy

More new wheels What ya done with the old ones

David Lock

Are you sure puppies and cardboard are a good idea? Sounds like a chewable soggy mess I just got a base board and and screwed some wooden sides around with front cut-out so puppies could hop in and out and I am definately NOT a diy-er. Or look out for a second hand dog bed - one of those washable plastic thingies. DL

They started rubbing the inside of the rear wheel arch on the drivers side when giving it some stick round bends. Had it up to KT Greens who said the offset was all wrong, despite being assured by Kei that they would be fine on a scoob.

Thought about upgrading suspension to cope but KT's reckoned it would just happen again when it softened. So after mucho crying i got some different ones and if you know anyone that wants mine, let me know(obviously not to put on a scoob)

steffiraf

She already has a dog bed but its mainly for the actual messy birth bit, so i can burn it afterwards. Thought i was being clever

corradoboy

Would they work any better on a new-age d'ya think

davegtt

what sort of size you looking for??? got a few things here at work but you'd have to collect... looking at the leeds location it wouldnt be any good to you but you never know. nr nottingham

steffiraf

I dont think so, offset is about 42?

steffiraf

Thanks for the offer but i think i have got it sorted now. Will bear you in mind tho. Needs to be around 4ft by 2ft. Big enough for a lab to lie on her side if that helps?

corradoboy

Any possibility of laying the blame back on them for a refund, or at least a big P/X or discount against some more

steffiraf

I doubt it Dave, they have apparently never had a problem with them before. They reckon scoobs can cope with an offset down to 40? but thats not what people say on here. Anyway they wont be getting my business again

David Lock

Ah OK. We just let our bitch (Cavalier) wander around the kitchen dropping pups when she felt like it and clearing up the bits she didn't lick up! Had to plug them all in afterwards cos' mum wasn't being overhelpful

steffiraf

If i need a midwife i know where to come then

thundertiger

be careful though, the puppies will be "box"ers.....

gaffaw gaffaw!!
