Does Your Dog Have Kennel Cough?

There is the presence of Kennel Cough in a couple of dogs in our village at this time.

Kennel cough is an airway infection that causes a dry hacking cough in dogs and is highly contagious.

Kennel cough spreads by direct contact between dogs, in the air and on surfaces (such as food bowls and leads). Dogs with kennel cough should be kept away from other dogs and public spaces while they are coughing, and for two to three weeks afterwards.

Symptoms of Kennel cough usually take 3-14 days to develop and then last for 1-3 weeks. Most dogs develop a hacking cough and stay otherwise quite well, but puppies, older dogs, and poorly dogs can develop more serious symptoms such as:

  • A reduced appetite
  • Low energy (lethargy)
  • A high temperature (fever).

Treatment is usually anti inflammatories from your vet.
Vaccination is the best way to prevent kennel cough, and is especially necessary if your dog spends lots of time with other dogs or goes into kennels.

For further information on treatment and care – please visit the PDSA website HERE.

Drimpton Film Club – Tonight, 7pm – “Sweet Bean”

Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm showing of “Sweet Bean” (PG), a Japanese film with sub titles directed by Naomi Kawase.

A struggling street vendor needs to pay rent on his stall and trade is bad.  He makes little pancakes with a sweet bean paste but he knows his paste is not as good as it should be. Help to turn his business around comes from an unexpected source and that is where our tale starts.

This is a beautifully made film, no excessive dialogues, so time to hear city life, the rustling of the trees, nature and the seasons and three lonely people coming together for mutual benefit.

A wonderful book. A wonderful film.

  • Drimpton Film Club Members – Free entry.
  • Guests – £4
  • Refreshments available: Wine, Beer, Tea & Coffee.

For any queries, information etc. please contact Diana Leake on 01308 867172.

Drimpton FC Thrash Ilminster FC, 8-1

Drimpton have moved into the semi finals of the Jack Venn Cup after an emphatic performance and result against Ilminster.
Match report:
The Greens wasted no time in getting their passing football going. Some of the passing was exquisite causing the visitors numerous problems early on. Adam Cody Boucher gave the hosts an early lead but were soon pegged back when the ball took a nasty bounce catching out the home defence and the Ilminster No 9 ran on to the ball poking home.
Drimpton then went up another gear and effectively finished the game with 2 further goals in the first half.
3 – 1 Drimpton half time.
The second half was a dominant performance with Drimpton playing some of their best football of the season. The one time passing and the movement off the ball was a joy to watch. Further goals were added by Adam Cody Boucher who got himself another hat trick, Pawel Ciereszko 2, OG, Josh Cousins and Frank Symonds completing the scoring.
Manager Andy Loudon added ” That was a very pleasing performance with us playing some lovely football. We were very ruthless in front of goal tonight and progress into the semi finals of the cup “
The club have a very important fixture coming up this Saturday (9th April) when they host Shepton Beauchamp, the Greens will be hoping to get the point needed that will crown them champions of Divison 2.
Football
Kick off is at 14.30 and they would love to see as many people as possible cheering the Greens on.

Good Luck Drimpton FC!

Tree Planted For Queen’s Canopy Project

Yesterday (Friday) afternoon a tree was planted in Bernards’ Place as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy project.  

Chairman of Broadwindsor Fun Group, Adrian Gray planted a crab apple (Malus sylvestris) ‘Freya‘ by the ornamental cherry tree currently in blossom.  The project and site of the tree had all of David Leader‘s support and he was remembered once the tree was planted.

Crab apple trees do bear fruit.  The sweetly scented blossom is pollinated by bees and other insects. The blossom develops into small, yellow-green apple-like fruits around 2–3cm across. Sometimes the fruits are flushed with red or white spots when ripe. The fruit is eaten by birds, including blackbirds, thrushes and crows; mammals, such as mice, voles, foxes and badgers and we humans too.  They have an exceptionally high pectin and acid content which makes them ideal for setting fruit jams and jellies. They are sour when raw but have a tart and tangy flavour when cooked.  Raw crab apples are toxic to dogs.

As well as inviting the planting of new trees, The Queen’s Green Canopy will dedicate a network of 70 Ancient Woodlands across the United Kingdom and identify 70 Ancient Trees to celebrate our Queen’s 70 years of service. Read more HERE.
