Your poor son , he shouldn't have been put in that position. I know its frustrating for people with service dogs having people distract them but this lady was totally OTT. I think the advice Judy has given is really good.

When we got Remy he was about a year old he didnt know his name, not surprising because we gave it to him. So to get him used to recall and his name I put him on a light but very long line and used very high value sausage treats letting him sniff and play then calling him and when he resonded...

Ive also signed. Such an awful thing to happen.

Me too..

I just googled it.. omg half that stuff isnt even legal here. Aversive old fashioned and out of date. I second JudyN .. please stay clear of these kinds of products..

Thank you. I think Murphy and George are the most photographed dogs around..

LoL have you forgotten where we are? Its as flat as a pancake round here.. But I get it. Thanks

After seeing the vet this week he mentioned that Murphys knee felt a bit unstable and I wondered if a knee brace would be an option to help him on walks. He seems ok now btw, we are not letting him jump, run or climb and keeping the walks relatively short but this isnt what hes used to. I have...

If you find out let me know. George has been out in the car almost every day for 6 years and he does exactly the same. Whines all the way there not on the way back ... Some days hes more talkative than others. He does stop if I touch him but thats not practical for every journey.

The first dose of painkiller was last night and Murphy had a good sleep , he seems a bit brighter this morning but we are making sure he doesnt get over confident.

Well we are back from the vets 96 euros out of pocket. But with guarded but good news. The vet does not think that George has pancreatitis there are certain symptoms which does don't fit and the fact that he has been helped by the omeprazol seems to suggest it's just overactive stomach acid...

Dogs...who'd have them? Well me,, but honestly they are terrible for causing us grey hair, A little while ago George started getting up really early (4,30) and wanting to go out, then he would eat grass until he bought up yellow bile.. So off to the vet and she suggested later feeding time...

Crates are a tool . When used well they can be good safe places. As for the blues, well with everything you've been through its no wonder you are blue, adding a puppy to the mix is just the icing on the cake but it will pass. Even having the best pup ( Murphy was housetrained at 8 weeks)...

@JoanneF. Lol I didnt mean you... I mean those people who think the only way to use an extendable lead is fully extended even when they're in a busy shopping street or along the main road complete idiots.. I once had somebody open their front door just as I was passing on my motor scooter the...

I've used extendable leads for 40 years on various dogs. My dogs were all perfectly well able to walk to heal although I don't see the point in taking a dog for a walk if it's just going to be walking at heel. my dogs are both hunting breeds and the extendable lead gives them the chance to...

You know yourself as an athlete there is a big difference between a jog and a sprint when it comes to your breathing and control. If he seems overly out of breath slow things down oh and stick throwing is a risky game...

Id have said the same. We started out by playing ball ( just rolling it gently) in our driveway with Murphy . Then we walked just the length of our hedge. Then to the neighbour who he knew and she had treats ready for him... It made the world less scary and got him used to his harness and a...

@JudyN So we know you like bugs, do you like the habitat as well? We are replacing windows and found this long abandoned wasp nest.. I love the complex engineering of it.

These are a couple of shots Ive taken, none of them are with a flash I like the effect I get with my little torch. https://imgur.com/lUWO2DC

Sometimes I use a flash but a lovely way to photograph fungi is actually to light them with a torch. I will have a look for a couple of photos..
