Not dog-related, but as part of my Big Clean, I put a bunch of things out on the street to give away. It’s a German (or Bavarian ?) thing that whatever you don’t want, no matter how much, you stick in the street with a sign saying ‘to give away’ and most often it will just disappear. I had some...

Maja had a very big and stimulating day yesterday and got exponentially worse with Carbón. This was interesting to me, because I would have thought that it would have tried her out and mellowed her out (“A tired dog is a good dog”) but instead it was more like dealing with a toddler...

I can very much sympathize with the cat thing - I’m afraid to touch any cat, for any reason, based on similar experiences! 😬 To do Maja justice, she only play-bites with me. All she wants when she’s on her back - really 😆 - is a tummy rub. When she’s mad at me, she snarls like a wee beastie...

Spectacular @Jacqui-S !

She’s pure evil, Candy. :devil:

I have wondered that too!

Come down to Cornwall and meet young master Reuben. He will makes sure your ears are clean with GREAT enthusiasm. 🥰

Big trucks and hairpin turns? Nope, nope, nope for me! :scared:

That’s SO good to hear, @kateincornwall - sounds like he’s finally found his groove! 🥰

He really is SO good. This experience is reminding me just how chilled he is 98% of the time! He’s also big and squishy and cuddly and has never ever tried to gnaw on my nose or wee on me when I put his harness on. I never properly appreciated that before. 🤣

Isn’t great though that there is a dog breed for every human personality? 😁 Personally I’m still trying to wrap my head around having a Labrador, even after 6 years. I still think of myself as a Rottweiler person who somehow ended up with a ball-obsessed food addict. I mean, I’m VERY grateful...

Yes, I hope so too! Funny thing is that when we went to pick her up from her 2 hours in the shop, she and Carbón greeted each other like best friends: tail wags and kisses all around! You would think Carbón couldn’t stand her by now, but he appears to be infinitely forgiving. Of course then he...

The whole thing - sister PLUS tunnel driving - sounds pretty stressful! Good for you to take it on and tell the tale afterwards. I’m a strictly solo long-haul road-tripper. I just can’t relax or concentrate as well with someone else in the car. Maybe if I had more practice driving with another...

Not sure WHY she likes me, but I’m grateful she does. Without that much, we’d be sunk! 😆 She had her first season back in June. I must defend the noble and brave chihuahua and say that I’ve had quite a few as fosters and they are cool little dogs. Most are VERY clannish: infinitely loyal and...

She got Maja from an experienced chihuahua breeder, home raised, as a puppy. And they had a black Lab in the household, so she was around other adult dogs from the beginning.

To be fair to Maja’s ML, she has pulled out all stops to help Maja from behaviourists to trainers to puppy classes to holistic supplements. Considering her first dog, Fine, was a puppy who required none of that and was an exceptionally chilled adult dog, it’s really admirable how she has sought...

Well, tomorrow will be one week down and one week to go with Miss Maja. We have a routine of sorts now, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. Happily she still seems to like ME even though I regularly put her in doggie prison for brief stints, but her hatred of Carbón is completely unchanged...

That last one’s a bit random? 🤣

How’s Flicka doing? Everything safely…erm… passed through?
