Reubs has ceased to be a lovely easily managed puppy and become a varmint overnight , his inner demon has broken out ! Yesterday has was an angel , today he has not, in fact he has become the devil incarnate , nothing is spared from his lunacy and abject defiance , he has that cast in his eye ...

Went out for a short time , Nelly can be left in the sitting room and hallway , Reuben behind the baby gate in the kitchen , a locked baby gate . Came home to see them both looking out of the sitting room window , baby gate wide open !

Our " little " lad is five months old this week , where the heck did that go ? We returned to the forest today , same one he heard the gunshot on Saturday , as I know the guns aren't fired during the week as forestry workers are beavering away . I had wondered if he would react to being in the...

Today I took the dogs to the forest , all going well until suddenly , shot rang out , lots of shot and it seemed close . I know that sound carries , Reuben stood still but didn't look happy , then it went silent so all good until an absolute barrage rang out and he ran .Thankfully he ran back...

As most of you know , my grandson was extremely bonded to my late boy Sam , who died 15 months ago well before his time . He and Silas were together as often as possible and were from the moment we got Sam as a nine week old puppy, sharing beach trips , long walks and holidays . Silas would come...

We have been with out Vet practice for a very long time now , it was a privately run one until fairly recently when the Vet/Owner retired and a group took over , they have three other practices in our area . Most of the staff have stayed on, which is great , and I have no complaints about the...

Nelly started being sick again this morning , she also did a normal poo but with a piece of bright green sponge in it . So, off to the Vets, not long home , her tummy feels normal , Vet did a rectal exam and pulled out a piece of sponge . She gave Nelly an injection to stop her from being sick...

Thus far , Reuben has slept on the bed , which on the whole has been fine once we got past the flinging around of undies ! He would stay on the bed , not moving if a human loo break was needed in the night but for the past two night , if I get up to the loo , he gets off the bed , heads for the...

Reuben jumps up , a lot and we have really tried hard , ignoring him , turning backs etc , all to no avail . Its something I really want to address because he is already 21 kilos so the likelihood is that he is going to be a very big lad . His recall and sit is really grand , stay is getting...

For some reason , Reuben likes to poo in private ! He has never done it in the house, so it cant be associated with it being wrong in any way whatsoever , in fact when I do spy him doing it, he gets praise . At the woods , every morning he runs off the path, heading for the same places and...

Not a great start to the day ! We were due an engineer to fit a smart metre , so I decided to take both dogs to school with Silas , not one of my better ideas ! Total and absolute nightmare , Nelly being well used to this was fine, but it was all too much for Reuben this morning . First it was...

His favourite perch , watching the seagulls x

It was last Saturday that Reuben had his Garlicgate , all well there but then early evening , Nelly began to throw up , big style . She was very upset about it and clearly off the hooks so am watching her closely today . She isn't herself at all , seemed fine when she first got up and ate her...

Just come back from a very wet walk at Golitha , which was very quiet given that the rain is torrential . Nelly refused to walk , to I took Reubs and was doing some retrieving exercised, which tires him out and he loves it . All going well until a thoroughly miserable looking dogless couple...

Reuben has been teething for a while now , all his upper incisors have gone and replaced with some lovely adult teeth . On the bottom , he has lost three baby teeth, now replaced but one is hanging on, just , whilst a new adult one is coming through behind it, pushing the baby tooth forward ...

Non dog people would think me mad I`m sure , hope you don't ! Until recently , I could remember Sams face without looking at a photo , every contour , every expression in his lovely amber eyes , could remember the way he walked , ran and swam . Now my memories are blurred , and have sort of...

My poor little lamb, has spent all afternoon at the emergency Vets . We went out for an hour , on return we saw the remnants of a bulb of garlic . I rang the Vet immediately and we took him in , he had an injection to make him sick , the results showed a lot of garlic , so then a wait for the...

This mornings new trick ! Pulled a box of eggs from my kitchen dresser , ate one shell and all and was just starting on egg number two when discovered x

That you had given your dog another name ? Just musing really because honestly, the permutations of Reuben are unbelievable ! On my FB page he is called Reuben ( correct !) , Rubin , Rueben , Ruban , Ruben and even one of my neighbours calls him Rebon . Why in heavens name didn't we stick with...

Its been a roller coaster of a ride with our little big boy , and one I thought I might fall off a few times ! But , we progress ! The biting has all but stopped , just the odd gentle mouthing , he has four beautiful grown up teeth now . He seems to be more calm in the house , settles in his bed...
