When I'm feeling glamorous, it's Coco Mademoiselle. However most of the time I'm not, so I smell of spam,cheese and kabanos when I've been dog training- I even found some spam in my hair the other day! (w00t) That is sooo NOT glamorous. P.S. I know my user name is MR Whippy but I'm actually...

I think some people are just too quick to try and put others down. My dogs don't work but I do appreciate a fit, healthy dog that is fit for more than parading around the local park. I have a (presumed) bull cross lurcher and a whippet. I recently met a guy who had a saluki/greyhound cross who...

That's pretty much why I didn't explore these kennels further. I didn't know they used shock collars but had my suspicions as their website states that they do stock training and after ony a few lessons, a ridiculously short time IMO, they claim your dog will not chase stock. To achieve this...

It's a poor shot (the light quality wasn't great) but a young buzzard literally kept buzzing us on our walk on Monday. It kept flying off and re-landing about 10 feet from us. The pictures were poor but the memories are great. Even my dogs had the respect to keep still and quiet (most unlike...

I've just had an idea that may be of interest, Charlene. People who holiday with their dogs are sometimes restricted in what they can do because dogs aren't welcome everywhere that tourists are. Holiday cottages that are dog friendly also may not want dogs to be left alone on the premises at any...

There is actually a small kennel in the north lakes that already offers a similar service although they board fewer dogs than you suggest, it's run by a dog trainer and they assess all dogs before they are taken on to see if they are suitable. I discovered this place while looking for kennels...

The weather has been soooo beautiful here recently. There's something about the sight of daisies and buttercups that compels me to get the camera out. P.S. My dogs do run, lots, but the action shots aren't included as they aren't as good a quality as the stills. If ANYONE has any ideas...

Upsetting telemarketers is my OH's hobby. :lol: He has a variety of ruses when they call, probably the best to date was when he warmly welcomed their call and told them he was so glad they'd rung as he was selling his car, he then proceeded to give a full run down of the cars features and...

I thought some of the wording sounded dubious to be honest. It was supposed to originate from British police yet referenced an American murderer, it also referred to the baby being heard 'on her porch' which is an American phrase. We would say in or outside the porch. But as with all of these...

I agree with FeeFee's advice. I have a rescue lurcher who also mouthed and again, although he didn't mean it to, it hurt. In my case I'm fortunate in that he is so reserved he only exhibited this behaviour with myself or my husband. It was literally like he tried to grab attention. His main...

The fantastic weather has inspired me to play with the camera and try to sum up my relationship with my boys. We're inseperable and they are literally my shadows so I've tried to immortalize it through photos in our favourite haunts...

Sorry to hear Sally's poorly,I've only just found out. I've got everything double crossed for a happy outcome. Dogs can be so resilient, we thought we'd had a death sentence issued when we were told our darling Bagga had cancer at the age of 14. After the inital shock we went into action...

Both my two like to gently prod when they want something. However my lurcher,Captain does this more than Presley the whippet. Presley also licks but Captain never does. I used to be woken each morning by Presley prodding me in the face as he stood by the side of the bed. Unfortunately he got...

I like it!!! :D :D :D My hubby is away ice climbing in Norway at the mo with a group of friends who were described by the oldest in the group, as ranging in age from 28 to senior secret. I luurve that sense of playfulness that some oldies get - it's what I aspire to. It reminds me of that...

That is such a beautiful shot. As said before the light quality is fantastic and the colours of the background and Blue all complement one another. Stunning!!! There must be something about skinny little sticks and skinnny little dogs at the mo because my two are totally uninterested in sticks...

Lovely coats and lovely dogs. It's a good job it isn't a bigger breed wearing them, imagine a larger dog appearing out of the undergrowth dressed as a tiger, it'd be enough to scare the bejeesus out of a person. :D

I think we'll be going. I feel I need to give MDH something back as they gave me my best pal. (Bagga - who sadly went to the bridge aged 16, July 2007). Me and the boys'll walk it in her honour and to give another little one a chance of a happy future. :) We live in Cumbria but my family are...

...and you think 'fleabag' isn't a rude name... :lol: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was always meant affectionately. :wub: She was a beautiful girl who only left us this summer at the age of 16. We had agreed when we collected her from the pound that we'd name her after the first thing she...

I had a dog named Fleabag, it quickly became shortened to Bagga but to the uneducated ear it sounded for all the world like we kept shouting 'Bugger' when we recalled her. The looks and comments we got over the years were priceless. (w00t) (w00t) (w00t) You can just imagine the scene, " Come...

The pics are of St Bees, it's the easiest for me to get to from the Cockermouth area. As to not having a wasted journey, I look at the tide predictions on www.easytide.ukho.gov.uk it has a handy seven day prediction table for the low and high water times. :)
