iPhone pic … Chema wins!!! 😂 This was before the cleaning team had reached this kennel in the morning. As you can imagine, it takes a while to get around 😳

Haha, he's pretty ripped from the competition all the residents of that kennel have, seeing who can jump the highest at the gate every time anyone walks past :D

Today's special guest is Chema, a handsome little Bodeguero, just for @Emily_Babbelhund! He shares a kennel with four other similarly-sized dogs, and all of them are feisty little things!

Today's model is another from the hospital ward. This guy is a tripawd, missing his left front leg just like Ginny. He also has lots of other wounds over his legs; I'm not sure what his story is. He was very inquisitive as I was sat on the floor snapping away and came up to me, shoving his face...

Bonus time! I found out earlier that Travis is going to be adopting sweet little Salma in December, flying her out to Chicago to join the rest of his gang - taking him up to seven galgos in total! The man is clearly addicted :rofl: What wonderful news for this lovely lady!

What a face! Gorgeous!!

Oh, Karen, that's just terrible. I'm so sorry for you all :(

Here's the model of the day, young Pegasus. He is a proper bouncy boy, could be considered a little over-friendly, but he's just really excited to have company. Once he's calmed down and isn't jumping higher than your head, he will lean against your leg and lap up all the neck scritches you...

Right? It makes me well up every time I see it. The love and pain of loss is tangible.

I mentioned elsewhere that this weekend I visited a shelter in Seville to meet with a photographer that I look up to. He has a bittersweet story, but he attributes his first galgo, Leena. to saving his life, and is passionate about helping the breed. He is American and has founded a charity...

It’s the start of the hunting season now and that has prompted more dogs to be brought in. I’m not quite sure why, it seems weird because what you say has always been my understanding. This shelter is definitely like Fort Knox. Coiled barbed wire on top of tall brick walls, and a heavy-duty...

This is in the south of Spain. They're hunting dogs that are no longer wanted. The shelter I'm visiting takes them free of charge, with a smile and thanks, because otherwise they would be killed. It's hard to wrap your head around, and some of the things would break the hardest of hearts, but...

I was at a shelter today that has over five hundred dogs. While I was there, I saw about eight dogs being brought in by different people - I don't know how many arrived while I was in other areas of the shelter. One of the people I was with said that one day he was there, he saw sixty-one dogs...

Precisely.

If you're cutting the quick, the chances are that you're taking too much off at a time. Use really sharp clippers and take off the smallest sliver - think the thickness of a pencil sharpening. Doing this will both reduce the amount of pressure you're putting on the nail, which can cause...

One of the things I notice when my socially inept dogs are muzzled is that it makes me relax a lot more, and their interactions with other dogs go so much better because of that. We meet other dogs so infrequently that there's no real chance of "rehabilitation" as such, but it's also far less...

We had a little photo shoot with our Dex this morning. He always looks very serious in pictures - he's really not, but he's so keen to please, he's just working out what we want. It was nice to get one of him being a bit of a goof!

Shadow rolled off the nap time bed and hit his head.

Willow was telling everyone they were having TOO MUCH FUN and the best type of fun was sensible academic endeavours with strict boundaries and never, ever, ever in her space. Or within a twenty metre radius of her space.

Squidge ate all the other kids’ crayons and vommed a rainbow over the quiet time rug 🤦‍♀️
