I know, I have thought about that, but I can't even be bothered to cook for myself quite often! And can't order the dogs a takeaway when I've run out of food. Basically I think I'm too lazy for home cooked dog food. I do really like the look of the butternut boxes but our kitchen is small and...

I'd never heard of butternut box before! They look amazing. I'm quite sure Brodie would prefer that to 8 weeks of soya. But we only have a small freezer and don't have a microwave so storage would be a challenge. Also, the price is proving quite elusive on the website, which can only be bad...

The pups are gorgeous :love: How many boys/girls?? Are you keeping one? (sorry if i missed this elsewhere)

Yes I don't often buy treats for Brodie but he gets a little piece of cheese or potato or meat after our dinner and he always gets a corner of my toast in the morning and he sometimes gets a bit of tuna on his kibble and hmmm maybe he does get quite a lot of treats :$ We did go through a...

Thank you @Atemas , that's helpful. Hills was my OH's choice actually so maybe we should just try that. Hopefully a HA food will help us identify the problem- the risk otherwise is that we just jump around from new food to new food and make the digestive problems worse. Brodie will not...

Brodie has always had very soft /sloppy poos. We changed foods to Skinners' salmon & rice, but this hasn't helped (has probably made matters worse). He had giardia as a puppy, but is now testing clear for giardia but positive for campylobacter. He has just finished a course of antibiotics...

He really is! Netflix are probably offering him a series now!

"I'm not a cat" made me laugh till I cried. Also the comments saying "that's exactly what a cat sabotaging judicial proceedings would say" :ROFLMAO: On the very slim chance that you haven't already seen it:

I've recently finished George Saunders A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, and loved it. It's based on a course he teaches on Russian short stories, and each chapter looks at a different story by e.g.Chekhov, Tolstoy, Gogol. The story comes first so you read it, have your own readerly thoughts about...

The tutus!!!! 😂

On a more doggy theme, my dad's puppy Blue retrieved his first partridge today. He is so proud of himself :inlove:

I know! It's completely barmy. But I did actually laugh out loud.

via the guardian, I discovered Toyah Wilcox and Robert Fripp have been making absolutely bonkers & weirdly compelling lockdown videos and gave me a very welcome laugh.

Haha @HAH ! Very familiar . You forgot "will the build incorporate wildly expensive windows, leading to a nail-biting installation and delay the project for months while they wait for replacement panes of glass"....

This is very very similar to our experience with Jess. I think @Charlie's approach of always using a lead and combining that with games and training to redirect attention is probably what I will try to do going forward as even though our problem dog next door has moved on, Jess and Brodie have...

Your proposal is better than ours as it is a much bigger buffer space and also allows for that space to have its own identity - for YOU to use it and hopefully delineate it from next-door's territory. It is worth a try. Ours was just a case of boxing off the corner of the fence as there was...

I think we did this! We (ahem, my husband) built an extra fence to put a bit of space between Jess and the nasty dog next door. Our gardens only overlap in one corner so we fenced off that corner with a solid wooden fence to ensure at least a couple of metres distance between the dogs at all...

I'm sorry too, such an awful and shocking thing to happen. I hope her dog finds a loving home.

My first seeds of the year have germinated! Dahlias, free with gardeners world magazine :D🌱 I sowed some aubergine and chilli at the same time but nothing happening there yet. Maybe my windowsill isn't warm enough for them. Still, spring is coming!!

The photos are lovely - he looks so relaxed and happy. To answer your question about behaviours I want to see in an off-lead dog - for me the owner is more important. As long as I see that the owner is watching their dog and managing the interaction, I feel fairly relaxed. When we meet...
