Over the years Ive learned to trust my dogs ( almost all rescues) . He might know something about this person that isnt obvious. We had a dog who loved everyone and everything but he took a dislike to our insurance man. We thought the man was a nice friendly bloke. He was later jailed for...

There are various reasons why that could happen if the supply chain is not good or of your protocols are not super strict . Plus of course there may be dogs who cant tolerate it. My dog cant have beef. But I know after nearly a year of loose stools , failure to flourish and ongoing skin...

As someone with two hunting breeds I know that they walk nicely until theres a scent or a beastie running across our path. Then its tally ho and they are on full tracking/ hunt mode. If I want a peaceful walk I stick to the park or lane if I feel fit we go to the woods.. I knew it would be...

Oooh I love the boefs.. aka Bouvier des Flanders.. Max was a cross Bouvier st Bernard. He looked like a Bouvier but had the size of the st Bernard.. But like all boefs he was just a big softie and this cow herder was terrified of cows lol..

Cute. We took Murphy and George for a good long hike round the woods . They loved it, we took a picnic breakfast too.. Its also our 44th wedding anniversary.

Im not allowed to watch anything sad with dogs OH cant cope. So Pete Wicks and lost dog with Claire Baldwin are taboo. As for tech .its a no no for me. I see loads of ads for trackers and I think if recall isnt solid dont let them loose. Plus a tracker is great but it wont stop them crossing a...

I know my vet said hes never seen a case of parvo or distemper. Thats great but I have and it will never leave me. Watching a pup puke until it dies isnt something you forget. So I vaccinate its a 3 year program. The vaxx they get every year is lepto. We have a lot of waterways so lots of rats...

I'm not surprised you feel floored. This was sudden and you will not with her at the time of her passing that's going to leave you with a whole extra layer of grief and pain. But the others are right it does get easier the pain dulls and turns into an ache that you never quite get rid of but...

Pathetic sentence. What will it take for the justice system to actually reflect the violence that has taken place. They are too damn fond of saying it's just a dog.. they need to be saying you have inflicted pain and suffering on another living being. And then sentence accordingly regardless if...

Ive got a collapsable one in the car where we keep a bottle of water. Something that fitted in the car spillproof if possible would be good so they could have a drink enroute

A. if you can keep him in the same room. B. my advice with neighbours is to get in first before anyone complains go round with flowers or a card and apologise say your dog is having a bit of a wobble and you will get it sorted asap , then thank them for being so lovely and understanding... It...

We had similar problems with Murphy that first year of constant diarrhoea and trips to the vet end of it who wanted to try us on hypoallergenic food although I have to admit he was very good and when Murphy refused to eat it I called them and they said return the bag we will refund your money...

Merry Christmas from Murphy and George too...

I have an online supplier who delivers with a refrigerated van.

Last year it snowed. The path we walk on where the dogs sniff and track normally invisible things suddenly became a path full of paw prints tiny mouse and rat ones but also bigger ones like pine martins or possibly otters ( its next to the lake) plus the tracks of many birds. We are blind to...
