Now that I have come up from the boxes for air I thought I would share this event with you. Whilst walking in the forest early during the week Charlie was mooching in amongst the trees checking back regularly. In the near distance I could see a very BIG Stag, full on antlers, he was massive...

Over the last few days Hattie has been licking her rear end quite a bit. On investigation I found a lump about the size of a grape with a slit in it. It has no different colour to it. Also there is bigger mass next to it. I am very worried and am taking her to the vet tomorrow. I know I...

After a lot of disappointment over the last 6 months or so with a moving date we are finally moving to Scotland tomorrow. We have had so many things get in the way it's been so frustrating. Most of our belongings are in Scotland so just packing up the car with some final bits and pieces, Hattie...

I'm not sure if this is something I should be concerned about, but over the last couple of weeks Hattie has on some mornings picked at her breakfast. She gets one scoop as always but is leaving some. She is weeing/pooing as normal, exercising very well as normal, playing with Charlie and all is...

The vet that microchipped Hattie as a puppy has closed down and I will have to change our address soon. I have Charlie's details as he was chipped at the rescue centre which is with Pettrac. Does anyone know how I go about changing Hattie's please? Thank you. xx

I bumped into a lady with her 19 week old Springer Spaniel, a lovely calm well behaved puppy. We chatted about training and she told me she was going to a Gun Dog trainer that I went to about 6 years ago with Charlie. I had one session, didn't like her outdated harsh methods so didn't return...

It is 8 years today that Charlie became one of our family at 9 months old as a very untrained rescue. It's been very tough, fun and a very steap learning curve but worth every single second. We have cried, laughed and been amazed at how much Charlie is capable of, he has come a long way. He has...

Today whilst Grace was on a walk during the day a Badger came out of a hedgerow, Charlie went in after it and they had a fight. Much screaming from Charlie and the badger. Charlie grabbed it by the nose and dragged it, it went for Charlie then tried to run away but Charlie went after it. It was...

Charlie has had a recurring shoulder injury since he was a puppy before he came to us. Now that he is 8 1/2 years old it is troubling him a bit more, especially if he runs and turns in a certain way. Straight running/retrieving and swimming are absolutely fine. I have taken him to the vet...

My lovely girl is 12 years old today, how did that happen. Hattie continues to enjoy very good health apart from a few age related ailments. She is full of zest for life, still trains every day and hoolies around with Charlie :tail: She is slowing down just a little so our walks are now around 1...

Sorry another Charlie question :rolleyes: For about a week Charlie has woken up around 0245, he's startled/frightened, his raised bed ends up across the floor he then runs down the hall curls up in a ball by the front door. When we get up to him his eyes tightly closed and won't open them. Last...

A little background information. I sometimes meet a couple in the forest with two male fox red labs, a bedlington terrier and another terrier. All four dogs continuously bark at everyone and all dogs. The two terriers regularly do a disappearing act sometimes being left in the forest over night...

Thomas just got back grinning from ear to ear after taking Charlie for a walk in the forest. Charlie was off lead the whole time and didn't leave his side, no cues, no treats he just stays with him, it appears out of choice. Thomas did a little gold panning as he's ever hopeful of making his...

Sea Treats on offer just in case anyone needs anything! :) xx Dog Treats (2) I'm interested in views on their dog food please. Thank you xx

Can anyone recommend good sun shades please? I have a Volvo Estate so they need to be a decent size. Thank you. xx

So this is Charlie's most favourite, favourite toy and nothing trumps it. I paid £1 for it in Wilko's. For 3 years I have been working on it becoming 'high' value and it's worked. I took him to the Loch this morning and oh heavens above he can't get enough of retrieving it from the water. We...

I have been looking for one of these pouches for David but they have really gone up in price since I bought mine. I did however come across this website. Now if you don't mind black (lots of other colours too) they are only £10 + P&P but still a lot cheaper than other sites. :) xx Training...

At last, at last, at last Charlie is obsessed with something. He is doing so well with water retrieving, he LOVES it, he's bouncing around me for more, comes back every time, delivers his ball or dummy to hand since I sorted out the running off with ball. I am so happy that finally he has found...

Thomas took Charlie on a wonderful 3 hour adventure in the forest in front of our house. He packed his rucksack and off they went, this is what they found :sun: xx

David took Charlie to the forest this morning and we noticed he had a slice of fur missing on the side of his face and his eye is a little swollen. He is not keeping it open properly and it is runny but clear. I have cleaned the missing fur area with boiled cooled salted water and tried to...
