While the weather has been so hot , Reuben has taken to lying either on the kitchen floor ( cool tiles ) or outside on the garden path which is in the shade . He now has callus on his elbows so I wondered if anyone could recommend a good cream or balm to apply please ? There are so many to buy...

When Anna brought Reuben back just now, she told me about a lady owner of a dog new to the gang who was supposed to be having his first day at Playgroup today . The reason I said ` was ` is because the owner changed her mind at the last minute due only to Anna`s no food rule . Apparently , when...

At some unearthly hour of this morning , Reuben woke me coughing and chucking up white frothy stuff , this went on all night . I rang the Vets and made an appointment for 5 p.m. but he got worse after lunch so they got us in earlier . It is Kennel Cough and he also has a lot of gas in his tummy...

To the forest as usual and parked the car , we had passed a couple walking a little way before and as I got the dogs out of the car , they were there taking the same trail ( no dog ) . As Reuben got out , the woman screamed , really screamed and began to run round our car waving her arms around...

Last night I sat in the garden with the dogs , Reuben was enjoying ball games when suddenly something landed on his rear end . I think it was a horsefly , it bit him just as he was picking up his beloved ball . Now, he wont look at his ball , wont play games with it at all , he hasnt had any...

Nelly has suffered from a degree of OCD behaviour since she came to live with us four years ago , she still chases lights to the point that we keep the sitting room curtains closed in the mornings other wise the sun reflecting on walls sends her into a frenzy , like wise torch light . One of the...

Reuben is off to the Vets in ten minutes , he has split a nail right through . We are due a gas check so Paul has to take him, its a good job Reuben loves going to see the nurses and Vets x

Never have a owned a dog who can change so much so quickly, but I love it :heart: At home , with just us, he is calm ( yes I did say calm ! ) soppy , cuddly and sweet . When we have a visitor , especially Auntie Emily , he becomes a lunatic almost puppy like in his behaviour, but when I take...

Reuben woke me in the night but couldnt make it out in time , he was very sick but went back to bed and seemed on top form this morning . He has just been out in the garden and thrown up again . I think its a side effect of the Loxicom given to him be the Vet, supposedly to take for a few days ...

Every spring , Reuben digs a hole , in the same spot . I fill it in, he digs it out, I even sowed grass seed , covering it over with a big basket , he dug it out . Sam was not a digger but he dug this same place and Labrador Tess before him too , might just have to dig down and investigate xx

The one thing that Reuben always excelled in was his recall , no matter where we were or who was around, he would respond quickly but its all gone to pot . Its always when other dogs are around, he just wants to go and play but I`m very mindful that not all dogs want to play . I think it is most...
