That is a lot of poo! Thanks @Jacqui-S for the ‘puppies poo more’ explanation - it’s been so long since I had a puppy that I honestly didn’t remember picking up so much poo. 😳 Diet does make a massive difference. I fed raw for my first two Rottie boys as pups, long before any pre-made raw was...

I know you @Karen said Cassie dropped the kong almost immediately but Cath may be on to something here with a ‘only when you go out’ treat. Carbón gets peanut butter in his puzzle bowl (lick mat works too) when I go out. I swear he sits around HOPING I leave just for that reason. 😆 I’ve been...

Just catching up on this whole thread which I’d not seen before - poor Red! I was relieved to read that her last surgery went well and no more teeth needed extracting. Those big back ones were already a lot! It’s disheartening when you’ve cared for her teeth so well to still have dental issues...

Probably? That is certainly the case in Carbon’s homeland of Andalusia - and it does make a big difference in summer! Of course some of the lanes in Regensburg are narrow enough to touch each side as you walk through and they weren’t building to stave off heat. There it was more the poorer (in...

Back in Istria after a six hour drive, reunited with Monkey and Elly in a comfy bed. Qué bien! Buenas noches, amigos.

Amigos, a few more from Šibenik before we drive up north today. De verdad, I am glad to be magically transported in the TARDIS for the entire day as my leeeetle paws are tired from all our adventures lately. I will lay on my comfy bed and have a deleeeeecious siesta until we reach Rovinj. Pues...

Well, to be fair, the way Carbón does more running in the water than actual swimming, it’s highly unlikely he’d get chomped by a shark. It’s more about the sneaker waves. I’m paranoid about those as I’ve seen what they can do. All sorts of reasons to appreciate Cornwall. 😉

I saw this one a couple days ago and did a search to find it again - there are many (dozens, hundreds?) of clips that came up of GRs just chilling on their backs in the middle of a walk. Who knew? 🤣

Heh, heh 😁 https://youtube.com/shorts/4fehS0Vkkjg?si=9Q1dyuX_FQCAYX44

She may let me play ball on the beach in California at Christmastime too. But she does not let me go onto the water because sharks. 🦈

Yep, this is why I’ll likely never have one. Labs shed too of course but long -haired breeds turn the dial up to 11. I need a GR grand puppy or nephew like Sully that I can just borrow. 😉

Um, ‘obsessive desire to please”? My Labrador is clearly defective and needs a factory reset. 🙄 Maybe I already have a GR. 😆

He is so incredibly cute and a Very Good Boy too. Most puppy training classes are too much excitement for retrievers. Their brains kind of leak out their ears as puppies! I did loads of puppy classes with my Rotties because frankly they are easy and fun. Want a five minute downstay? Want to...

Dios mio, we have now seen multiple of these ‘Dog Beaches’. Wear a leash and a muzzle? How do I chase my ball? Pues, no matter, because all dog beaches in Croatia are apparently mandated less than 10 feet wide. Qué lastima! ML says I can swim in Venice again if I want, and of course it is not...

Šibenik: the town so nice we have now seen it twice!

The TARDIS is a key participant in our adventures but never gets enough love. Entonces, here are a few shots of our entrepid machine amigo. Waiting for the ferry to leave the island this morning. Teeny TARDIS on the ferry, lower right. Today in Primošten, we accidentally parked directly in...

Holaaaa amiiiiigos! After nearly a week, we finally have good internet again. Pues, that means, get ready for the photos and stunning modelling! Maybe not so many words, because my leeeeeetle paws are tired, but vamanos with the photos before I fall into my nightly puppy siesta. Morning walk...

This is so funny! Even after only being here for 3 weeks, to me that sounds quintessentially Croatian. 😆 By the way, the landlady of our island apartment wouldn’t take payment for my last night of accommodation because, “Why not? Who cares?” A very generous - and typically gruff - character!

Oooh, I - Spanish gentleman Carbón that is to say, love a good pharmacy. Our usual pharmacy in Regensburg went out of business recently (after 400 years in the same location, qué lastima de verdad) but ML tried a new one and I LOVE it because they had a big box of cookies just for me. I’m glad...

You’re not alone thinking this. The funny thing is that I think this all the time about Carbón - that he’d be happier in a house with multiple dogs and people. I feel really guilty about it. But when I read your post, I instantly thought, “ How could she possibly think that when clearly Snowie...
