I will ask her and I am willing to bet my vaping gear on it that she has She is in Devon, but has lived up north etc, I will give you some clues, see if anything rings a bell and if you know her. so childish I know but I am childish Here goes-she and her husband have always had/shown/bred rough collies, they gave up showing for a bit due to health, she and I met six yrs ago as we bought litter mates Australian shepherds, she showed the Aussie a lot more than I did, sadly Pebbles died young of epilepsy, my girl has petit mals and hopefully it will never go full. Their Prefix is............. Sharrain, so you know her? Not personally but have been at shows where they were (big shows) l am sure that Rifflesea know her and visa versa, in the near future l will be starting on a life long pedigree for Rifflesea from the first dog she ever owned upto the present day (hopefully) and this will take some real brain work on my part so the dosh l save from the e cigs will be well invested

Many years ago I had a Rough Collie (Lassie dog), he was called Duke & I loved him to bits. Wow! That's spooky Chrissie, a picture of my bruv as a young man with Duke our family rough Collie. Beautiful boys the pair of them were. I live in Yate Ripple . . . but I'd be happy to collect Batty and drive us over to you, hopefully he'd know where Midsomer Norton is . . . I've a horrendous sense of direction, even with Sat Nav. Am pretty tied up this week with one thing and another . . . but could probably do a day next week? That would be lovely if you could both come over and l will help with fuel cost in exchange for picking both your brains You will get to see how mad i am about the collie's as soon as you walk into my house, You let me know when suits you both and l will be available, l really appreciate this, Thanks to both of you

Ive now gone all gooey over the Collie pups lol. We had one when i was 13 and me and that dog used to walk some miles, the only reason we havent got one is because hubby doesnt like them. I never thought the ecigs would work for me but so far so good, with the good advice from the knowledgeable people on here i got a vision 900 kit. I have even got my 74 year old mum on a skycig at the moment although she is still smoking with it but no where near as much. WoW Good for your mum !!

I'm also hoping it will work for you Ripple. I used to be a very heavy smoker - averaged 50 a day used to wake up on a night time gasping for breath & a constant cough. Tried everything else to give up/cut down but would just end up crawling up the walls till I bought my first e-cig. I can now walk up a very steep hill without getting out of breath at all. Lol Dogwalker, I've also gone all gooey looking at the collie pup pics How long did it take you from the first time you used the e cig until you did nt have a proper ciggy again can you remember? l want a puppy

Hi Ripple welcome to the forum. I have the start of copd after smoking since i was 11 even though i am asthmatic (yes stupid i know), and i started on ecigs back in July of last year but sadly they weren't for me. I found with being asthmatic too they seemed to make me cough as much if not more than the fags. I persevered on until February of this year when i had to give up everything, ecigs and fags and took to the champix. You will get great advice and help on here and i wish you every success on your vaping journey. Thankyou so much, l am hoping that this will work as nothing else has so its pretty much a last ditch attempt
