Our front garden is just grass at the moment, and open to the street. On several occasions we've noticed a lady with a dog on a lead standing there while her dog goes to the toilet in the middle of our lawn. The other day my husband was out walking Skipper and caught her in the act, so asked...

Skipper's new coat arrived yesterday - just in time for the gale force winds and driving rain - he seems to really like it, and looks cute as well! Here's the back view...

There's a lady up the road with a beautiful old lurcher called Ollie. Skipper often barks at Ollie just like he does with other dogs. This morning he wasn't barking continuously at Ollie when we bumped into him, just in fits and starts. Because of this, she suggested letting Skipper actually...

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...

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...

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...

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...

We've taken a few more photos now Skipper has settled in, and now we've managed to lay a lawn for him. We finished laying the last roll of turf, and he trotted over, lay down on it and went to sleep, completely oblivious to us all giggling at him!

We've had our rescue greyhound about a month now, and while he had a couple of accidents in the first few days, he's settled in fine now and seems happy. Then last night we'd been upstairs and came down to find he's weed on the carpet. It was only a small amount so was wondering if it was...

When we brought our greyhound home, we were told to make sure he doesn't have too much protein in his diet and I've read the same in a few places, as a retired dog obviously doesn't need as much. However, how much is right? We've been feeding Bakers kibble and it's down as 22% protein. Is...

Thanks for all the advice people gave a while back when we were making decisions about getting a dog. Yesterday we picked up our new dog from greyhound rescue, and he's beautiful! His name is Skipper, he's blue and white, and will be 6 in July. He was in a foster home for a few weeks so is...

Myself and my husband have always wanted a dog, but we were/are worried it wouldn't be fair on one because we both work. Having chatted to several dog owners who work recently, we're starting to wonder if its possible to juggle both - obviously with a lot of planning and work to make sure our...
