My cousins daughter came to London 18 months ago. She stayed with us at first and I helped her get a job. She’s now with us again as she packs up and gets ready to start a new adventure in Australia. She painted this as a thank you for making her dreams possibilities.

Butternut Box dog food had a stand in the shopping centre this morning so I went to find out more. They offer chicken, turkey, beef and lamb. Homer gets the runs with chicken but they said this is because the chickens are grain fed 🤔 I’ve cut out beef and lamb from Homer’s diet due to his...

Last year we successfully escaped most of the fireworks over Bonfire season by taking Homer to France. This year we are thinking of taking him to rural Scotland, hoping that we can find somewhere remote enough and that the Scottish are not as keen on bonfire fireworks as our neighbours are in...

At just after 5am this morning I heard some noises, and Homer growled. I told him to shhh as I knew our neighbours had visitors and may be moving around their house. Then I heard more noises, stomping footsteps louder than before so I got up and went downstairs. As I came down the stairs I saw...

I took Homer in for his rabies renewal injection on Thursday evening and he's been a bit under the weather - to be expected but he's not been himself. On Friday morning on our usual walk there was a lot of loud works going on the corner of the common for the Thames Tunnel. Homer's been quite...

Homer showing how to open presents!

Homer often licks other dogs ears, recently this appears to have become more obsessive behaviour. On our off lead walks along the tow path we come across many other off-lead dogs generally all are friendly. The dogs will greet each other in a friendly manner but after an initial greeting Homer...

After getting fed up with being annoyed at only ever finding one shoe at a time and tripping over the unfound shoe in the least (now most) expected places we’ve decided that placing shoes around the house is Homer being creative. I therefore will proudly present Homer’s creativity.

He's come on such a long way from the dog that wouldn't go past the front door because the day before a lorry had gone up the road. This morning Hubby and I took Homer with us to do some chores on the main road and then I'd take him on along the main road a little bit further to the common. So...

Homer was sick about five times last night. And when I got home he’d been sick again. So not a pic of Homer but a pic of the carpet after i’ve cleaned it up as best I can. I need to get stronger carpet cleaner.

Do you ever wish you could bottle it up & keep it forever? The smell of their head, their velvet ears, when you kiss them 💋 A love for them that actually hurts ❤️ Our 🌎 This was posted on the lab forums Facebook page. I couldn’t post this comment on Facebook but i’m posting on here where we...

Shopping for Homer is just too easy! I'm just ordered this on a whim or Homer. All For Paws Interactives Fetch N Treat - Dog Toy I've looked at other ones before that launch a ball out which I didn't think he'd like but seen a video for this one where the ball just rolls out then dispenses a...

How much time do you spend training an older dog. Homer is 6 years old going on 7 years. Since he achieved his Gold Good Citizen award 18 months ago I haven’t really done much with him. I’ve done a bit of playing Gogs Trust Sounds Scary tracks while playing ball games with him, but been a bad...

I'm sure I've ranted about this before... ( I feel like I have too much to rant on about at the moment.) Too many owners of little dogs let their little dogs get away with murder, or at least aggressive nasty bad behaviour. Today, as I was walking with Homer on lead along the pavement just...

I'm now in full on rant mode! We've had a continuous barrage of loud fireworks every night since the 15th October until tonight 10th November when even the heavy rain hasn't dampened the Lord Mayor's firework display! We are able to take precautionary action for one night needing to heavily...

Does anyone know where to find guidelines or laws of how long a dog should be left alone? My parents live in a private estate in South Africa. My mother has recently taken on the task of looking into the home owners association regulations for keeping dogs. At present two dogs and two cats are...

This morning just after break and I was about to start a class, my phone rings, i ignore it as usual, is on a very low tone, but it keeps on ringing. “I have your dog” says the voice on the other end. “Oh - &h!t” I say in my head. Luckily very helpful assistant walks in, with another job to do...

I'm thinking about changing Homer's diet from his usual lamb and rice kibble. My thinking is along the lines of a changing his diet may help with his anxiety. I've read articles about foods that may help to calm him and also read about warm and cool proteins, lamb being a warm protein which may...

I'm having internal flutters of panic. On 3rd September school starts again and I'm back to work, which means that Homer's back to the old routine of him waiting for his dog sitter to come and pick him up in the mornings. Homer's spent 8 months of this year either with Hubby or me being...

A delicate subject... Private messages welcome I’ve had a conversation with hubby about booking sessions with the new dog trainer and the inevitable “how much will it cost?” question came up. Hubby’s saying that Homer is just the way he is and that this man won’t be able to help any more...
