Coco is five today. Bad dog mum only remembered when Facebook reminded her.

Oops...just checking when Meg(an) Sparkle's boosters are due...I missed her birthday 2 days ago. She was 3 on Saturday. Happy birthday Mad Meg!

Horrible horrible walk this morning. OH had Coco, I had Meg. We were walking in single file along a narrow pavement. Spotted a lone woman walking towards us. OH stepped into the road, I said "No. this will mean Meg passes next to the woman" so we remained on the pavement to "force" her into the...

Both dogs have had very loose, urgent poo last night. They both had to go out twice in the night. Then Coco got up for a third time, he didn't want to go out, he didn't want a drink he just shuffled about looking forlorn. I had a prod around his tummy, seemed OK. A gave him soothing words and...

SkiPatroller on TLF has lost her beloved Tilly on Friday to haemangisarcoma. So sad.

Aldi have some cheapo agiltiy stuff, toys, beds and other stuff (Feb 21st, but loads left on line (free post for orders > £20.......you could combine it with your wine & gin order, just sayin')

I think I've got to the bottom - so to speak - of Meg(an) Sparkle's loose poo! There was no dog training last week so she didn't get her usual training treats for over 2 weeks - roast beef and beef & pork-derived sausages, she's mainly had fishy treats (she did have a couple of tiny scraps of...

Fed up of waiting for daylight, I bought a couple of really cheap LED collars from eBay. For the price, they are fantastic! Coco has a green one and Meg has an orange one, we used them this morning in the semi-daylight - very bright. You can have static ON, or 2 speeds of FLASH. I would never...

Does anyone feed the Fish4Dogs kibble? I'm beginning to despair of Meg(an) Sparkle's bowels, and thinking of changing food. I just picked on this one because I like their treats and they are competent with delivery. It's such a minefield swapping food...we went through this with Scooby.

Ms Sparkle came to us with a bit too much of a duvet covering her ribs, on 500g 0f Chappie which we dropped to 400g immediately. Once she was off the Chappie (which she ate slowly, and often left some) & on to Skinners Duck & Rice (which she eats with gusto) we dropped her weight. We started on...

I shouldn't...but I am. I had Coco at Dog school last night, they didn't get a run around first which burns some energy. Why not? Because Coco was "shouting" at the trainer, "demanding" the ball. So no-one got go. I walked Coco up and down the arena while everyone socialised. Then we started...

Woken at 3AM by a horrible dog-dirty smell. OH went out into the hall, immediately stood in it. Flicked the light on, poo everywhere. Poor Meg. She's fine in herself. Up in the loft the fetch the Vax down. Agghh! It won't pump the water around the head. We're still bleary-eyed wondering wtf is...

Meg came to us on Chappie chicken kibble, 2 scoops a day - which worked out as 450g (I prefer weighing). Her poos were massive, formed but soft. Her ribs could be felt "as through a duvet" so I went against the guidelines ant cut her immediately to 400g. She ate it, but rather slowly, hard to...

Thought we could have a place for favourite collars plus, more importantly, collar shopping sites. I've ordered Meg her first new collar. I love the Ruffwear Hoopie collars at the moment. Coco has 2 (so far), a blue one and a red one. Meg is getting this fancy one..

Just ordered a heart shaped ID tag and a TagLock for Meg (Coco has the Pumpkin tag - they do christmas ones nearer the time...:xmasparty:). I thoroughly recommend this company for ID tags, the engraving is superb. They do the slidey-on ones too. The TagLock attachments are fab for those of us...

Sorry to say, Meg has a bit of an obsession with shadows & reflections. OH has just snapped her out of one such episode (the light reflecting off her ID tag) by calling her to him, and she was able to come and is happily going to sleep on Coco's bed now. @kateincornwall , how did you deal with...

So now I'm starting the exciting period of dog-stuff buying - I've ordered a bed the same as Coco's for Meg (it was Scooby's old one) (we went to the pet shop where we got his, but they hardly had anything - so much for buy local!). We (Coco & Scooby that is) love this bed. It repels muck, has a...

We're going to see this lady tomorrow. First I read she is a 2 year old Dalmatian x Labrador, I later read she is 50% Collie too. I will find out tomorrow. There are others interested in her, and we are going to see whether it would be practical to take her with Coco. We have to be very honest...

Gosh, it's 3 years and a couple of days since our gentle giant lost his battle. We had him for only 10 short months. 10 months of love and fun. Still miss you big Scooby, you great Moddey Dhoo.

I am off work today....Me & Coco are going to catch the train to the pub, have lunch, and walk back. HAVE LUNCH! Just me & Coco. This could be hilarious, embarrassing or it could be a non-event.
