Popps dived into woodland and didn't come out again. I made the mistake of going to look for her when she didn't reappear and she must have come out and found me gone, panicked and ran off trying to find me on the usual route home. I've got a tracker on her and it updated to show her position...

Breakfast Do you enjoy your breakfast? I used to be able to read the paper while I ate my bowl of cereal and had a couple of cups of tea. Then along came Poppy. Lady was a very laid back dog in the mornings; even during the puppy years. Her morning greeting was a waggy tail delivered from...

Unlike Lady, who basically couldn't care less about fireworks, Poppy is a bit concerned about the bangs and pops .......... Actually scrub all that! She's just settled down and gone to sleep with it all kicking off outside. I was just about to post that we are reassuring her with calm voices...

We've got my son's dog, Nina for the morning while they get their downstairs floor finished off and they needed to not have Nina helping. We've had her for roughly 30 minutes. Two and a half hours to go! :hungover:

I should have entitled this "A Nightmare on Elm Street". :facepalm: Pops overall is doing well, I think. By way of an example, our next door neighbour is moving and they invited the immediate neighbours to drinks and snacks in their front garden yesterday afternoon. I'd just recieved a new...

We left her at a new (to us) kennel for a couple of nights on our way to Cornwall. We had a track day to run en route so she needed to be kenneled. The reviews looked good but of course we couldn't visit in advance. We picked her up yesterday and she was like a mad thing on the lead. I...

We're all off for a few days. We're running a track day at Castle Combe on Monday then off to Cornwall direct from the hotel the next day for a week off. We've booked Poppy into a "luxury" dog hotel near Devizes from Saturday afternoon to Tuesday morning. I think she'll be fine because she's...

Poppy has always, since she came to us, had a tendency to lunge at and growl at other dogs if she and they are on lead and pass each other even on opposite sides of the street. Since I've been limiting her to lead walks after her spay last Wednesday it's come really to the fore and needs...

As part of the contract when we took Poppy on, we have to have her spayed. The op is tomorrow and no food after 9pm tonight and no water after 09:00 tomorrow. Poor lamb and we can't explain or ask for her opinion but I know what that would be.

She's a teenager - need I say more? Today we were doing so well and she even recalled half way to investigating the rabbit warren in the water meadow behind the station. It's important that she doesn't investigate the warren because just on the other side of it is a spring that amounts to deep...

I really have no idea if she'll be any good as a gundog but I'm giving some basic training a whirl. I'm concentrating on recall and stop at the moment. As far as stop goes it's just it's just giving her one pip on the whistle with a raised hand when I want her to sit. The recall is also a...

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with boughtbymany pet insurance? We were with Petplan for Lady but their prices seem to have gone up by quite a hike. They are some 40% more than boughtbymany for similar cover. It could be that boughtbymany start cheap but escalate more than say...

Just fixing up a visit to see this girl. She's called Poppy and is 17 months old. She's not quite met the required grade as a sniffer dog so is to be rehomed. Hoping to see her tomorrow. I was going to wait but I'm too excited! :pull:

Rose "Sarah" And her dog "Lady"

We've got Nina for 4 whole days starting from 06:00 this morning! I am exhausted! Will report back later but I've had more exercise in 6 hours than I've had in the past 6 days.

A photo pops up from the archives every day on my phone as a default from Microsoft Onedrive. This one popped up this morning. 1 year and a bit old! 👍

I'm in a dead heat with two other people leading a photography competition with one round to go. So it all hangs on the last photo entry where I could drop out of the running or get at least third place. I've got two photos and not sure which to submit. I'm inclined to the one called "The...

We had my son's cockapoo for the afternoon yesterday. She's now 5 months old and lovely and at the "not quite fully set" stage if you know what I mean. Still very puppy squiggly. We took her for a walk over the fields and let her off the lead as soon as we were in a safe location. She's...

My son, daughter in law and grandson have a Cockerpoo called Nina. She's about 4 months old and lovely. She looks more Cocker than Poo to be honest and most people she meets think she a working Cocker Spaniel. The only clues that she's not really are her tail and also her legs are a little...

A cockerpoo booked today and coming home in about 3 weeks. She's called Nina and is 5 weeks old. We would have liked to go to see her too but of course couldn't because of lockdown. Just about to think about where all Lady's useable stuff is including crate (rather large for a cockerpoo pup).
