Tell me please, where can I get replacement bamboo strakes from. Our Greyhound, adopted from the Greyhound Adoption Program, had a puppy moment and chewed, ate, consumed and devoured what I had pulled out for two builds. It took less than 2 minutes to turn the stuff into tomorrows Greyhound you know what!
I am sure it was because I did not take the 11 year old teenager for a walk when she wanted it because it was to hot. But then, given Dog Years, I find it hard to please my wife of approaching 60 human years! So, probably, I am in strife either way!

Shaky Hi Shaky,  I`m wondering if the dog realises how uncomfortable the next doo doo is liable to be. Hoping no harm comes to the dog, but it may be a painful lesson learned.  My best suggestion for replacement would be back issues if available or maybe take a look on ebay.com. (There are several issues with lots of bamboo in them) Hope all comes out Ok, I mean for the dog`s sake.  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi Shaky, so sorry to hear of you little mishap and unfortunately cannot advise on any suppliers from your neck of the woods.... Derek's suggestion of trying to order back issues to replace your bamboo strips is as good as any suggestion I can make.... Will say however, my having finished planking with the bamboo has left me with quite a lot of bamboo strips left over so providing you have been prudent with the strips you have used so far you may find you still have enough to complete the hull..... Good luck with resolving the problem,,,,
Regards
Alan
