    Holly's done it again!

    We finally got a poop this morning :poo: Now we can start to get her back onto normal food. She should be back to normal by the weekend for the SW pack walk.

    Holly's done it again!

    She had a good night last night. Today she's been having a quiet day with a gentle walk. Hopefully the small meals of rice and chicken will sort her out.

    Holly's done it again!

    Thank you all. She's feeling a bit miserable now that its tea time.

    Holly's done it again!

    Thanks, Kate. She's a terrible scavenger. I let her off her lead yesterday and she ran off to guzzle some horse poo. We reckon that was the trigger this time.

    Holly's done it again!

    She's been eating things again and has been up all night with diarrhoea, and brought up her breakfast this morning. We've been to the vets, and have started the familiar routine of starving her for the day, keep up fluids, give her the gut medication and feed her on rice and chicken from...

    Dogs in cars

    Holly has the tailgate all to herself. It has a plastic lining and we put an absorbent dog liner on top for the muddy water. It also has a dog guard. I let her jump in but we've never allowed her to jump out.

    What made you smile today?

    We met @Woodwoman today for a walk. Weve missed our weekly walk and natter for three weeks because of holidays and other interruptions. Holly and Pip walked straight up to each other, wagged and had a friendly sniff. It’s heart warming to see how far Pip has come since we started walking...

    Goonlaze Cottage, St Agnes, Cornwall

    We've just had a week in this cottage so we thought that a write-up would be helpful. Location: The cottage is located at the edge of St Agnes with two pubs, a Chinese restaurant (& takeaway), and two cafes clustered around a mini roundabout within a two minute walk. The center of St Agnes is...

    Otter's Journey....

    Not entirely true. I spent this morning picking blackberries for Holly and Pip!

    First blackberries.

    This is extremely healthy. Trust me.

    First blackberries.

    Put the blackberries in a bowl. Add the same weight of sugar. Cover them completely with dark rum and put on a lid or clingfilm to keep out germs. Leave it for several months while the rum absorbs the flavour. We have a proper rumpot for doing this. It's a cylindrical china pot with a lid...

    First blackberries.

    Don't forget blackberry rumpot. A few spoonfuls over ice cream gives it a real kick.

    Slim on 450g a day....

    Holly is on about 200g of kibble a day, supplemented with fruit and veg treats during the day which she loves! Have you ever seen a whole carrot go down in three bites? This has kept her weight around 27-28 kg for the last few years.

    Red

    They're such a worry when they're unwell. Hopefully its something simple. It's encouraging that Red is still eating enthusiatically.

    Harnesses for very long walks

    In a few weeks time we’re having a walking holiday on the SW Coast Path. Last year Holly did a lot of pulling on our long walks with lots of exciting smells! We were worried that she might injure herself with so much continuous pulling on her collar. As a stop-gap we got her a very wide...
