    Primula cheese holster.

    I use Primula cheese for training sometimes. I need to have the lid off for fast delivery, often resulting in a cheesy pocket. No longer. I picked up a knife/torch holster from an army surplus shop today. Perfect.

    Booster time for Meg

    The stress we went through last year is still fresh in my mind. She's booked in for this Friday morning, I'm waiting for a call back regarding giving her a tranquiliser beforehand. The boosters also include a health check. Meg has never been examined by a vet since we've had her. Even when I...

    The Aquasorb Towel

    @Boogie always recommends these...and wow! Today I used mine. It's been in the back of my car for 5 or 6 years, untouched. Came home today with such muddy dogs and it just popped into my head. I scrabbled about and found it and WOW! I got most of the mud off two dogs*. Brilliant. A quick was in...

    Scent Work

    Oh my goodness! The dogs were just badgering me to "do something"....considered pacifying them with a Likki mat, I went to get them & noticed some scent mice in a box of catnip. OK I'll try these instead. Coco had a go when I bought them a couple of years ago but it didn't float his boat at the...

    Chicken.

    Do dogs become sensitive to foods? Meg doesn't have beef as it gives her massive loose poo. Her regular food is duck & rice kibble with salmon & potato wet, duck & rice wet - and this last 2 weeks turkey & rice wet as the duck was out of stock. She has a turkey dentistick most days. She's always...

    Meg's Tummy

    I'm sure you all know of Meg's delicate tummy & the vomiting problems. She's been on wet food (salmon & potato and duck & rice) with cooked sweet potato & green beans for quite a while...and been mostly fine. She vomited one day a couple of weeks ago - I think the day before she'd had a piece of...

    Private field

    I have booked a private field, not far from home, for an hour tomorrow morning. I'm going to take both dogs for my first visit and mix up walking and playing. It will be nice not to be on edge about meeting other dogs. If it's a suitable as It looks (I'm sure it will be) I will book individual...

    Here we go again...Meg.

    Sick yesterday. We'd only just restarted Kibble the day before after a middle-of-the-night puke in the bedroom a week or so ago. It's always kibble that starts her off again. She ate the sick and it stayed down. I sent a text to OH to say she'd vommed. He replied "Oh...I wonder if it's the...

    Squits :(

    Both dogs have got the squits now. perhaps to wasn't the chicken after all. Just got in from work, and I was making my way around the garden, dousing all the liquid poo with water when Coco squats for a runny one :poo::poo: I've had to keep them both off school tonight :shake: I spoke to the...

    Chicken Carcass

    Bloody Meg! No sick since vet visit. I left her inside while I went out to do a little retrieving with Coco. Next thing she's out spoiling it so we went in to find OH clearing up the remnants of the roast chicken carcass from the floor. Bloody Meg has pinched it from the side and eaten most of...

    Sikki Meg

    So it's till going on. Yesterday evening she sicked up a small square (a bit less than 1cm) of something not quite as hard as a stone. I've saved it (yuk). Tomorrow we see the vet. That will be a whole trauma in itself. Maybe she can be examined in the back of the car. She's just had me out in...

    Meg Food

    She's difficult. Can't eat beef - it gives her very soft stool. She eats Wainwrights duck & rice, and salmon & potato wet food. She has this with Skinners duck & rice kibble. We often have vomiting episodes. They occur hours after she's eaten usually. She'll often eat it twice over then give up...

    Nigel

    Monty Don's lovely boy. “I am very sorry to announce that Nigel has died. He filmed every moment of last Friday’s programme and right to the end was happy, healthy and his usual calm, lovely self. But he was suddenly taken ill with violent, unstoppable seizures and despite everything that our...

    The Target Stick

    Just had a super game in the garden with Coco & the Target Stick. We did "around" where runs around it & comes back, then we did "target" where he runs to it and touches it, but he doesn't know what to do next, he might go around, he might come back so I quickly threw a "STOP" in - reward...

    Meg sick...again

    My poor girl does seem to have a very sensitive stomach. She'd gradually got back to a normal diet after her last bout of sickness - kibble & salmon wet food. On the very day I was thinking of letting her have her duck wet food - I get home to sick (eaten by someone). I gave her a reduced supper...

    Sicky Meg Again..

    Aggh! She's fine in herself, but she puked her dinner yesterday, re-eating it then re-puking a bit later. Didn't give her supper last night or breakfast today.. she's desperate for food. I gave her a small spoon of slushy rice & white fish mid-morning which she devoured with gusto. Just now she...
