I voted for you, although I also put a vote in for the dog currently in 5th place, as he is lovely too. Nicky

My uncle Brian wrote a poem that was etched on a bench there after they had a competition - he is one of the rangers :)

Awww...beautiful photo! I really must start taking my camera out and about more - most of my dog photos are Skipper on his back with his legs in the air! :D

I have to admit my husband does most of the cooking in our house. He actually quite enjoys it so I leave him to it! :D

Skipper seems to have taught himself a new trick! He'll eat most of his meal, then very carefully pick the bowl up out of its stand, carry it over to his bed, gently place it down, then lie down in bed to finish the rest of his food. He's done it a few times now...just need to teach him how to...

I must admit, its something I've been wondering about myself - we got our greyhound in May so haven't had a winter with him yet. He currently sleeps in the kitchen - we had a quilt folded in half but its quite thin, so we got a large dog bed to put on top of it its just like a giant cushion...

Skipper loves eating cat poo, and occasionally stealing slippers or shoes to take to his bed and lick. Skipper hates next doors cats, and being disturbed when comfortable unless you have a lead in your hand...

Luckily we get on fine with our neighbours here, and have become close friends with one side, but we've had nightmare neighbours in the past so can sympathise. We had a 'care in the community' couple next to us once, and she had a screaming fit because we had a barbeque - just one of those...

Thanks, I think we went on the dunes there once before we got Skipper but didn't make it as far down as the beach - we used to go to Godrevy a lot, but Skipper can't go on the beach there, and the cliff walk has too many dogs this time of year so he barks lots! Hadn't thought of Carn Brea, as...

Thanks, we haven't found that one yet! We've been on the beach at Penzance, which was nice. Also Perranporth but decided not to go back there in the summer as too many other dogs and Skipper got very stressed! We're supposed to be introducing to him other dogs gradually... We mostly go to...

Saw the tiniest of articles in the paper last night, misleadingly titled dogs banned form beaches. Most of our local beaches already ban dogs between Easter and Oct 1st. However, as of yesterday, several beaches including our local one Portreath will now allow dogs after 7pm and before 7am...

Wow, thanks for the pictures of Claire, she could be his sister they look so alike! Skipper hasn't tried getting in the pond yet, although he does occasionally drink from it... We ended up stopping him going on the settee as he got a little too possessive of it, but he has a huge comfy bed...

Nah, told him to leave the paperwork with us and we'd think about it! :p

We had a guy from the bank come round tonight as my husband is thinking of getting life insurance. Anyway, he set up his laptop on the coffee table, and Skipper walked right over and cocked his leg over the laptop. I managed to shout no and give him a shove before he got going, and took him...

Thanks, the problem is we did do this at first, but we got a little worried as he tripped over it once, and he has a habit of running up and down the stairs at speed - we were worried if he did that with the trailing lead he may come a cropper! He didn't attempt to jump up on the settee last...

Well we've been keeping him off the settee when we're home, and we've been making a real effort to make sure we go through doors and gates before him, although its tricky! He did jump up on the settee last night when I popped into the kitchen to fetch something, and I got a quick growl when I...

Thanks, that sounds a great idea, we'll try with the lead. We also started tonight making sure we go through doorways first, and both ate biscuits from the top of his bowl before giving it to him - hopefully he'll get the idea. Do you think we should still try the putting him in the kitchen at...

I always presumed my husband would be viewed as the alpha, it never occured to me it could be me! I'm usually the one that feeds him, especially in the morning, as I get up early and take him for his walk before my husband gets up. I always eat my breakfast before I give him his, but husband...

We have just the one settee, and Skipper is allowed on it on the understanding he moves when myself and my husband want to sit down, although he can then sit in between us if he wants to. He has a bed in the kitchen and one on the landing, but at night when we go up to bed he tends to get on...

Hi Helen We've had ours for 2 months now and he is exactly the same although we are making progress. Some owners are friendly and have medium-sized to large dogs so we introduce them and allow them to have a sniff at which point the barking stops. However, most owners are wary as soon as the...
