    Pip

    Pip, an Irish Terrier, lived with her Dad down the road from us. She was one of Homer's special friends and only about three years old.

    Can dogs eat mussel shells?

    We had mussels for dinner and Homer crunched on a tasty mussel shell. He crunched a lot so I’m not concerned. Just wondered if your dogs ate mussels.

    What goes in must come out? Poop Warning

    Over the last month or so Homer has not been producing a lot of poop. He's been on the same food, same amount as always but his poops are thinner, and more soft that usual. He'll do one smallish normal one, then two or three soft fingers, not much more than a mini poodle would produce. This is...

    Please don't eat the bees!

    Silly dog! I do my very best to save the bumblebees that get trapped in our little glass extension. Then Homer comes along and snap, snap gulp and he's swallowed it. How can I save the planet with a bee eating dog, he's obsessed with them. I don't usually wish harm on my dog but I'd love...

    A new world

    I’ve quite enjoyed the peace and quiet of lockdown and not really looking forward to things going back to normal. If we could have a new normal what would you wish for.

    Homer’s got a wound on his leg.

    I noticed this on Homer’s back left leg. He gets rubbed down regularly and I don’t think it was there yesterday. He might have been licking it last night but hasn’t been fussing about it much today. On our walk he was favouring that leg slightly and limped a few times. There’s a button sized...

    Magnetic clips for leads

    The french lady in the apartment next door has magnetic clips for her dog leads. I’ve never seen these before. They worked really well especially for her to clip leads on to three friendly golden retrievers with a broken finger. Has anyone used these? I can’t find the same ones on the internet.

    Homer has expensive taste

    That’s now the third cashmere cardigan he’s chewed through! All because I changed out of work clothes quickly to take him for a walk and left it on the bed. Moral is to walk your dogs in cashmere!
