    Beautiful Bella

    As spaniels go, I think she's pretty easy. I think she lulls me into a false sense of security :D

    Beautiful Bella

    Bella continues to make us laugh with her little ways. We’re slowly making progress with calm behaviours instead of her losing her shit with everything that is exciting in her world - which is pretty much everything. It seems once she understands the outcome of the process happens in time, she’s...

    Weather

    Next time you're looking to replace your tyres, give me a shout. We use all-weather Michelins that are designed primarily as winter tyres, then the "all weather" part added to that, which is the opposite to how they're normally made. Our tyres actually out-perform most dedicated snow tyres and...

    Nisha and Talía (Negreta and Lulú).... a journey.

    An update on Talia: she's staying with N and family, as it seemed daft to bring her back here, only to have her go back again. She's coming along really, really well. The weather took a turn for the worse with a few days of torrential rain, and although N lives only half an hour away from where...

    Seville shelter trip

    Big day today! Little Sky was adopted to a family who have been visiting him and walking him to gain his confidence. They look like a lovely couple, so I'm SO happy that he has found his way to them. And Salma has arrived in Chicago to start her life with Travis and the rest of his gang! So...

    The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

    I’ve been AWOL but catching up with you globe trotters! (Four times that autocorrected to “glove” trotters - I dread to think 🤷‍♀️) Photos of Florence, please! Once you’ve caught your breath 😁

    Cockerpoo v Labradors

    Bella is totally bonkers and always ready to GOGOGOGOGOGOGO, but she switches off during the day (not much option, I'm really boring when I'm working) and is so food motivated that she's easy to train, as long as she's not so excited she can't engage her brain. OMG A SINGLE PIECE OF DRY KIBBLE...

    Beautiful Bella

    A little update on our little Nugget: firstly, she is now officially OUR little Nugget!! The day that Dexter left, we also signed papers to adopt her. We're muddling along with her bottom issues. There's something else cropped up where, because she doesn't have control over her muscles back...

    Nisha and Talía (Negreta and Lulú).... a journey.

    Bella is fine - she wasn't enamoured with the puppy anyway LOL. I will go post a couple of photos over on her thread. Squidge was a bit put out that her buddy had disappeared for a while, but she's stopped looking for him now. She nicked his teddy that we forgot to give to his new owners, so...

    Nisha and Talía (Negreta and Lulú).... a journey.

    Hi Cath, Talia is currently on her holibobs! We obviously can't take her with us to Andorra, so we considered whether it would be best to board her somewhere, or have whoever stays here take care of her. We had a word with N, the lady who did some work with me and Shadow before the Covid crap...

    Seville shelter trip

    I don't know, I didn't ask. I'll see if I can find out. For the weekend I was there, 27 dogs arrived, and I saw three sets of visitors looking at the dogs. However, they do have shelters in other countries who they work with to rehome some of the dogs. Travis took four (I think in the end)...

    Toxic plant on beaches - Millom and St Bees.

    Wow, scary that they smell like parsnip, too. Easy to imagine someone, or some dog, eating it 😬

    Seville shelter trip

    Today's Doggo of the Day is Sky, a Podenco Maneto. We don't get this flavour of Podenco up in the northern regions, they're the Andalusian variety. Sky is a bit unsure, and with good reason. He was in a terrible state when he arrived in mid October, with a metal cable embedded around his neck...

    Medicating anxious dogs

    Depends on the puppy, depends on the adult. Squidge was the perfect puppy in terms of the other dogs (total arsehat in other ways 😂) and never, ever pushed them. The twins were twats nonetheless. Squidge didn’t need them to learn her dog manners: she was born with them. Despite knowing I could...

    Seven…

    Yes, it all went smoothly. Dexter was a superstar, they took him for a little walk without us, and he went off happily. Jumped all over all three of them, no shits given. He didn't bite anyone - result! They're clearly very keen to do the best by him. The Dad asked if we would be interested in...

    I realised that I hadn't updated this post since getting the news... Dexter heads off tomorrow to start his new life with the family that found him. I'll be taking him to the shelter for the adoption paperwork and handover at noon. I'm so pleased for him, without a hint of being sorry to see him...

    He is very sweet, and loving, and inquisitive. His body is scarred, but his heart is pure.

    Seville shelter trip

    An insider secret: I write the posts for my FB page ahead of time when I have a few spare minutes and schedule them for release. I'll then come on here at some point afterwards and post the picture for those people who don't have FB. I just scheduled Monday's. Oh, my heart... :heart:
