Congratulations, that’s great news! 😀

No words of wisdom from me as I honestly thought that delicious treats could make a Labrador do ANYTHING. Hopefully you can boost Odin’s confidence and it will be a temporary thing. My last puppy (many many years ago) went through multiple objects to be terrified of but with time (not too much...

He absolutely agrees with you :giggl:

If you do this, you may end up with Señor Carbón - Hawaiian version. 😆 In California, I used to put little homemade sandwich-board type signs on myself when I went out with my fosters: “Adopt my foster dog!”. I don’t think I got a single dog adopted that way (doing photo blogs of each dog was...

Thank you for the pov of someone in the trenches. I’d not considered ‘brain drain’ out of the UK. 😳 And thank you @Jacqui-S, @Cath, and @Jelinga for the kind words. :hug:

I’ve said this before - probably multiple times in multiple places 😉 - but as someone who uses vet services in a variety of places, I’ve had the same experience as @Cath . Other EU countries (France, Spain, Italy, Germany) where I’ve been to the vet are exponentially cheaper than the UK. The UK...

Don’t blame you - that would creep anyone out! I hope the anti-rat measures work and you can relax.

Well that’s good news! I guess he figured he’d spread his gardening skills around for more of the neighborhood to enjoy. He IS very hard-working! 😆

Carbón has been reunited with his beloved stuffies after a three month absence and, boy howdy, was he happy! We’ve had Monkey with us (carried around in my backpack on all our adventures) but the rest of his stuffie amigos have been safely tucked away until this morning. Now he’s having an...

Th They always seem so happy , not to mention fit. And oh this Scottish beaches!

My ears haven’t been so clean for seven months - no one does it like Reuben! 🤣

After a 9000 (yes, nine thousand) kilometre adventure, Carbón and I landed at Upper Deck (our favorite house in the world in our favorite place in the world) yesterday evening right at sunset. The TARDIS was messily unpacked, Carbon’s healthy dinner was made (and enthusiastically eaten), my...

What a sweetheart Finn is with Odin. 🥰

I’m sorry to hear you’re worried about your beautiful GGJ and that the news from the specialist wasn’t the best you would have wanted. i know you and GGJ will solve this together, but it’s a lot to digest right now. Hopefully you’ll have a good cuddle, a long talk, and it will get if not easier...

Carbón was so cute when we got to the pet check in station in Coquelles: he knew suddenly just where we were going and his bounce came bouncing back! He was quite unhappy to leave Spain, so it was really a relief and joy for me to see. The old boy still has that puppy spirit! 🥰

And both Carbón and I are through customs and waiting to board! I planned for the storm disruption in both motorway traffic and the Eurotunnel and there was none. Not even a hiccup over the new UK visa system for. Non-Europeans. Quite unhappy looking UK border agent but as long as he waved me...

We’re crossing with the Eurotunnel so (knock on wood) hopefully we’ll be fine. You never know anymore: when we left the UK it took nearly 4 hours to cross due to delays. My guess is tomorrow will be busy as a lot of people will shift off ferry service and onto the trains. Nothing to do but...

We’re spending our required night in Germany tonight and crossing tomorrow. Very oddly we’ll be ‘camping’ on Romney March tomorrow night and then visiting @Granca early Saturday before the last big drive down to Padstow. Carbón and I are both dead to the world tonight (it was a rough 9 hours...

That sounds hopeful. ❤️ Sending you and sweet Finn lots of Lambies. :thelambiesarecoming: :hug::thelambiesarecoming:

Ooooh, this is exciting! I try to get my courage up every year to try in Cornwall and then fail miserably. I see so many people (especially women) go in and think they are amazing! Are you going the full equipment route or the jump in with nothing but a swim suit approach? My friend in Ireland...
