That is so sad to read Karen. I am very sorry. What heart break.

Tennis balls hold a lot of scent. I use them a lot to train hunting with my spaniels.

One of my previous springers went a little senile in her later years and was prescribed Vivitonin. It helped her a lot. Barking and restlessness in the middle of the night was one of the symptoms. I think it’s called canine cognitive dysfunction these days.

What a sad story. But Bella is gorgeous with such a happy little face. I’m glad you are fostering her Fiona. Best of luck and I hope you can find a way to soothe her tummy.

Every bit of food came from my hand. Nothing out of a bowl.

My advice would be not to give her the opportunity to practice running off. She was probably never taken on off lead walks when she was with the police. Build on getting the bond with her her super strong first before attempting off lead walks. I hand fed Amy for months and months when I first...

Good luck. Hope it all goes well.

Glad you are liking your new hats. I have also got the Denim.

I have heard quite a lot of positive reports from people whose dogs are having Librela injections (two of the owners are vets) @Jacqui-S would this be something to try with Lilly?

She is gorgeous. I can’t see any ‘poo’ in her she looks very cocker like. If you think she is nuts now just wait another 3 months. That’s when the real fun will start. B)

I have a fairly new vax. It’s large and a bit unwieldy and very noisy but it does a great job. I even used it recently when my kitchen had flooded to suck up the standing water.

Our neighbours are getting a labrador puppy! A little black dog pup from a litter bred by a friend of mine. I will probably spam you with puppy photos when he is here.
