Im feeling , well not smug , but vindicated. We often walk the dogs along a lane, on one side is farmland where a lot of fairly rarer field and wading birds like the godwits and curlews breed, on the other side is the lake and marsh where we see egrets, spoonbills , swans, lapwings fieldfares ...

We have quite expensive road tax by comparison to the uk but whenever I feel like moaning I just think about pot holes and how I cant remember the last time I saw one..

We stayed on a dog friendly camping. They gave us a treat bag. There was a pack of poo bags, hypoallergenic pet wipes , hand sanitizer for the humans and a little bag of hypoallergenic doggy rewards. I thought it was a nice touch and made us as dog owners feel welcomed instead of just tolerated.

Although I feed raw (have done for years) I think there are a few things to be considered when it comes to 'best food' Firstly is what can you afford , and I will say raw often works out cheaper than commercial especially if you avoid the flash companies selling ready mixed meals supposedly...

I feel for you and your poor dog . We have been down the same route incl the apoquel... Murphy is allergic to beef and we solved that with a raw diet. But by keeping a diary of food and walks we discovered that outbreaks of itching coincided with the council mowing the grass. It seems freshly...

Oh dear we sound like such an anti-social lot. But I think there is a huge difference in people who walk for their dogs and people who walk with their dogs. My walks are arranged to give my dog the best experience so we change up the walks one day it's next to the lake the other day it's in the...

Im old school too. I keep a written record of my dogs health appointments ,weight vaccinations etc as well as keeping their passports up to date. Where I am in NL there was an app called doggy dating that shows all areas where dogs can be off lead and a meet up app for owners. That meet up app...

We also did a lot of play in our driveway before going out into the world. Then for the first few walks I just traced the path of our garden but on the street side instead of the garden side. We also did a lot of praising and treats for toileting outside of the garden so that he knew that was...

We had a very similar problem when we got George he had been used to living on a long line in a garden running to the fence and barking for attention from passers by. When we got him he would bark at absolutely everything including livestock people and other dogs anything that made the other...

Cat owners drive me insane. Our last garden had no grass or flower beds because the cat poo was impossible to keep control of. The only time a cat owner became concerned was actually when my dogs went out into the garden which had a six-foot high fence all the way around and unbeknown to me...

One of the comments I received from the estate agent when I sold my house was that he would never have guessed that I had two dogs because there was no doggy smell in the house .. ( Due to lung issues we dont use air freshener products)

For Murphy it was beef, almost all commercial foods contain beef in some way shape or form he had a year on and off diarrhea and medications to help cure the diarrhoea caused by the food. The costs were enormous and the mess was disgusting. In the end I convinced my husband to try a raw diet...

My neighbour was unable to have a dog fulltime because of her husband.. But she fostered for a charity who home lots of dogs from Romania and Spain including Podenco's she said the wonderful part was seeing them blossom and helping to find the right forever home for them. Her costs were met by...

I agree they can and do dash out but when you see animals squashed in chevron/ blocked areas of road etc where cars shouldnt have been or you witness drivers swerve toward animals there is no fault on the animals part. In 40 years of driving on motorways and country roads across various...

Oh ok. I just cant stand anything nasty, we spend time almost daily removing dead animals from the roads because of careless ( im being generous) drivers and I hate the waste of life.

I'm not even going to open that video. Hunting deer with dogs is illegal in my country it's cruel for both the Deer and dog, if you get caught doing something like that here your liable to find your dog being pts

I dont have a greyhound but I have a dog with a super high prey drive and a tip from a greyhound owner led me to the houdini type antiescape harness. basically the Y sort with an extra strap to stop them backing out and escaping.

I dont dry simply shake off in the colender. And yes 180c...

I always do mine thick cut from proper spuds. . Because of OH health I do soak for 30 mins and then in clean water bring to a boil for 2 minutes before draining and putting in the air fryer. Mine takes about 20 minutes this way for brilliant crispy outside fluffy inside brown chips.

My favourite is chicken breast butterfly cut, spread with a little pesto and stuffed with mozzarella sun-dried tomatoes wrapped in bacon. It takes 30 mins and the roast potatoes cook alongside it. Great taste no fat and only one pan. ( Plus the veg one)
