    Is It OK?

    Still in Scotland so we thought we go to the beach today as it's a beautiful sunny frosty 3 degrees today. Is that too cold to let Hattie & Charlie go for a swim? Sorry for the question but it's not something we ever get to do. Thank you xx :)

    Do Dogs Sleep Walk?

    Last night we were watching a film, both dogs fast asleep on the rug when all of a sudden Hattie got up walked around and bumped into the wall, turned around and curled up on the rug and went back to sleep. I'm puzzled, so do they sleep walk? Thanks xx

    Slide on ID Tags

    Another ID tag has fallen off Charlie's collar, a new one at that. I am going to have to buy the slide on version. I think someone on the forum uses these, so are they any good and don't fall off? Thanks xx

Last night I could see him paying a little too much attention to it, he then bit off a piece of what looked like...

    Hacking Up :(

    Over recent weeks at night, Hattie is making an awful hacking up noise. It sounds like something is stuck in her throat but there it isn't anything. She only nibbles on grass so it's unlikely to be that, she is eating, is totally her normal self exercising and playing absolutely nothing out of...

    Ticks in December

    I cannot believe I found an engorged tick on Hattie today. I usually stop flea/tick treatment in October, but am having to treat them both today, just in case. It's so mild they are still thriving :mad: x

    Training in Scotland - Charlie

    We are in our Scottish house for 9 days so we went for a wet but lovely walk today in the forest and I must say Charlie was a star. He did some running but kept an eye on us returning to me regularly for squeezy cheese. We did lots of 'find' it and 'scatter' games which he loved. I practised A-B...

    Ignoring Pheasants - LAM

    I have been working for a long time with Hattie on ignoring pheasants, not easy as, well she does like to chase them :eek: and there are plenty where I live in rural Hampshire, although not that many this year.
