Because the poo bin is two streets away from the field, many of us leave the bags at the gate. No one ever forgets them on the way out

Most of the children where I live know Dudley. Those who don't usually ask if they can stroke him He loves the attention. Will go towards those he knows. I find adults more of a problem as they never ask and always try to pat his head, which he hates and will back off and try to hide behind...

While I can see the point of view of people with reactive dogs, some people are genuinely scared of dogs and every report of a dog that has bitten a person drives this fear. People are entitled to walk without the fear that a dog will lunge at them. I love dogs, even before I had Dudley but I...

Dudley and Kylo waiting for me to go out into the garden with them

Dudley was attacked by a border collie in our street. This dog was off lead and escaped from the house when the door was opened. Every time we walk past the house or see the dog, Dudley barks. I visit a border collie daily and I was worried he would react the same. He knows the difference and...

Dudley was a surprise to his bichon mother. His dad was a chihuahua

Dudley is an accidental cross breed. I see no reason for him to produce other cross breeds. Therefore he is neutered.

Rightly or wrongly I vaccinate. He is too precious to risk. We have had a massive increase in childhood diseases in the UK because of some people against vaccination and ignoring the lives that were lost to these supposedly innocuous childhood ailments in the past. Vaccination is not just a...

I too found this unbearable to read. Just seeing the initial photo was enough. The fine was laughable and just banned for keeping pets for five years? The other one that has stayed in my mind is the dog which was dumped in the road with his bed and he ran after his owner. Never heard if he was...

Dudley has his name from where he was born.

I wash Dudleys feet after a walk but it was easier with the vaseline. The chickens don't come in the house,!!!!!

Sounds a good idea. I used vaseline on Dudleys feet last winter. We also use vaseline on the hens feet could I use this wax on them? (serious question not a joke)

When I acquired Dudley he was 22 weeks old and had lived in a flat. He was used to puppy pads but did go out for short toilet trips. We continued with the puppy pads but also took him in the garden hourly, except at night. He got the idea of toilet outside within two weeks and has never had an...

I have a Bichon chihuahua cross. Around the same size as yours will be. (My sister in law has a shichon). Bichon Schitzu cross. Dudley has Bravecto tablet every three months. Never had a problem with it. He had been flea treated and worked when we got him. Vet suggested going through his...

He is absolutely gorgeous. Puppies are so adorable.

I do agree with you. There is space in this world for any type of dog. Dogs, by and large, are preferable to humans. Not a lot of problems where I live with dogs. Know most of them, some of them just give a nod and a hello. Others will stop for a chat. I don't believe there is a one type...

As the owner of a small fluffy dog I do object to off lead dogs in a residential area attacking my dog. Neither of the dogs that attacked Dudley were even wearing collars.

Dudley was attacked twice by off lead dogs. The thing about this was they were loose in the street. Both time owners apologised. I know the street I live in is not busy, but apart from Dudley being hurt it was dangerous for the dogs. Whenever he sees either of these dogs he barks like crazy...

There is a wonderful, extremely dog friendly place in Wales. Nine cottages, all with enclosed gardens. Three large fields for them to run in. The beach is very stony but only a few miles to several sunny, dog friendly beaches. It is very isolated, no shops. We love it. Called Bach Wen

Went to Brancaster last June. Stayed at 1 Sawpit Cottages. Backyard very small. Front garden flowers. Nowhere for I'm to just sniff about. Very small inside
