We dont subscribe to charities in the street or at the door. When approached we tell them that. Our charity support is made through subscriptions and charity shops. The only exception is the royalties from ‘Holly’s Walks’ which is made by cheque to local dog charities.

Stolen from a cockapoo group, but just as relevant to Labs.

We tried one of their extendable leads and it only lasted a week.

We’ve tried all sorts of seek games, lick mats, short sniffy walks, puzzle toys and chews to keep her entertained. What she wants is zoomies, tuggy and chasing balls. We had some success this morning with a gentle walk around the park and a visit to Coffi Lab. It had elements of a normal...

Day 10. Our sanity has been tested to the limit. Jazz had her stitches out this morning and is allowed ‘gentle walks’. The vet wants no jumping, zoomies or stretching for another week. Jazz’s response was to try to zoomie in their car park.

The vet wants to remove stitches late next week. We want to keep her fairly quiet until then. I suspect that Jazz has other plans!

Today Jazz had her last pain killer. She’s very restless so this morning we took her for a short walk across the lawn at the Bridges Centre to their cafe. Five minutes of sniffy walk and a stop for a quiet coffee seems to have worked; She’s now dozing quietly on the sofa between us. We might...

She had a good night. We carried her upstairs and let her sleep between us on the bed. We surrounded it with puppy fence so she couldn‘t fall/jump off the bed. She slept really well for the first time since the op. This morning she’s her normal self - following us around looking for bits of...

Its been 48 hours. Jazz’s stitches look OK with no swelling or redness. The pain killers are helping her but she’s clearly a bit uncomfortable. We had a call from the vet and were able to say that things were going well. Jazz is restless so keeping her occupied with low intensity activities...

Our first dog had a phantom pregnancy after she was spayed. She also developed a dislike of visiting the vets refused to go into the vet’s room. The waiting room had a church pew along one side. Gypsy would crawl under the pew and refuse to come out. She ignored all inducements, pleas and...

Jazz had a reasonable night. She slept fairly well and didnt move around much. We've been hand feeding her bits of chicken when she‘s awake. Its a fairly bland food in case she feel sick after the GA. Just now she had a small portion of her normal food, but we added some water as she’s not...

Weve got her a puppy onesie in case she starts licking her stitches. The vet nurse thinks her neck is too long for an inflatable collar. The vet intends to call on Wed to check on progess. The aim is for gentle walks from next week with stitches out in 10-14 days.

She’s just turned over and opened her eyes for a few seconds

Jazz was keyhole too. The fun starts tomorrow when the GA wears off.

Jazz was spayed this morning. We brought her home about 20 minutes ago and she’s now dozing in her basket. We're keeping her in the living room so life will feel as normal as possible. All her exciting toys have been hidden but we've left some of her chews around. For at least the next two...

Jazz went to the groomer yesterday for a trim. As always, she looks a little stunner when she's been trimmed, and we get lots of compliments about her appearance. Today we went into town for a walk around the park and a coffee and I decided to keep count of the compliments. All seven of the...

We had to go back for another one!

Jazz dragged us into Coffi Lab again this morning, not that we needed much persuading! Just for Easter they have a new cake. Its a nest made from chocolate flavoured choux pastry, lined with a chocolate creamy filling and with a chocolate egg in the nest. Utterly wicked and guaranteed to...

Jazz is our third bitch. Apart from one phantom pregnancy after bein spayed, we've had no problems either.
