Mum says she didn't think of it like that - she may be going to let me stay! I know Dad still loves me - he made me a futon base for my bed so it isn't directly on the cold floor. I've been so warm and cosy the last two nights. Just in case though I'm busy making friends. The nice lady in the...

Harri was also the chilled sort - still is really ( he's a Welsh terrier - not a breed known for being chilled). We had short periods of high activity and then find him asleep on the floor. The breeder also gave us the amount of kibble to feed which was a lot less than the amount suggested by...

Is he growing and putting on weight? What are you feeding him - is he interested in your food? Lethargy and lack of appetite can also be a side effect of some of the new oral flea treatments. Google the brand you are using and look up whether they are listed. I got Harri off the kibble at 3...

Yes you can buy it - Amazon

It's very simple - I had some really grubby beeswax that someone gave me from their hives which was too dirty for use in a candle or in a human skin cream but was perfect for this. 2 tablespoons of olive oil 2 tablespoons of coconut oil 1 tablespoon of shea butter 1 tablespoon of bees wax...

I've made some paw wax to protect Harri's paws. There's a lot of salt down on the pavements this morning

Do you want me? She is really mad at me this time I think. I didn't think she'd be worried when I ran off this morning after a wonderful smell. She says she had to crawl under a barbed wire fence and through a huge bramble patch to get on to the golf course after me. Even then it took her half...

Going into hunter/tracker mode. He is completely deaf and blind to everything else....

Mum says I'm a little toad and up for adoption if she can find anyone who will have me :(:(:(

I would love a border collie but both the ones at Harri's dog class have behaviour problems. I really don't think they are suitable for most people - including me. They are working dogs still and need so much to keep them occupied. I did know someone who had one as his guide dog. She was lovely...

He'll get there. Honestly! Take him out every half hour if you need to. Harri always needed to go during exciting play sessions ( took him out every 15 minutes then!), as soon as he woke from a nap (urgent!) and about half an hour after a meal. It's only been 2 days - you'll soon catch on to...

Probably a sighthound of some sort. Natural couch potato by inclination interspersed by bouts of high activity!

I wouldn't want one of the "designer breeds". Most poodle crosses etc come from puppy farms where the breeding stock are kept in terrible conditions and the puppies churned out to meet the demand for whatever is fashionable at the moment.

Sadly I can never say we're 100% sure of being firework free. A couple of the other cottages nearby are long term rentals and not all the tenants are country folk. There's always going to be a risk that one set will have fireworks without even thinking of the effect it could have on the...

They do not look happy!

Bought - Welsh terriers in rescue are few and far between. If a girl turns up then I will be applying to adopt. The cat is secondhand. He belonged to someone in the village and needed a new home urgently when her circumstances changed. Somehow he moved in with me temporarily - 7 years ago. I...

Anything I'm eating as long as it isn't fruit or veg. Current favourite is Greek yoghurt - he gets to lick out the carton!

Here's to a good nights sleep for everyone!

I've wanted a dog for many many years but both my partner and I worked stupid hours. If we'd had a dog it wouldn't have seen much of us nor would we have had the energy to want to spend time walking and playing with one when we were home. Having quit the corporate rat race and becoming self...

With such a young pup I'd ring your vet.
