    Happy birthday Molly

    Some 3 years ago, we bought this little thing home. She turns 3 today but in many ways is just as much of a cuddly pup as she was then. A beautiful girl and a constant delight. Happy birthday my sweet pup

    DIY allergy treatment

    Molly get's allergies in the summer. I know there have been other threads about this, is the cause food or environment etc. but this is more about how to ease the problem rather than the cause. We may have to go back to the vet in due course, if it gets worse, for steroids or whatever but in...

    Easy clean, comfortable bed

    Molly has, so far had about 4 beds, none of them cheap and she's only just coming up to 3 :rolleyes: I've tried to get good comfy beds but what I keep failing to find is a bed that is easily washed. The bed she has at present is lovely, deep, warm and clearly comfortable BUT, it's the very...

    Springtime banner

    I've only just noticed it - beautiful, encouraging and cheerfully looking forward to the sunny spring and summer. How do we manage with those down under, now going into winter? Tricky :unsure:

    Role reversal

    Well, this morning, during our usual early day play, Molly tried a new trick, instigated by her. This involved picking up her rope ball and throwing it to me :oops: She then backed away waiting for me to pick it up and when I threw it for her, she did the same thing again. Now, only able to...

    Not my proudest moment

    I took Molly out this afternoon, OH having taken her this morning. He returned singing her praises, what o good girl etc. etc. It was a good walk, allowing for hail and a serious wind, until we were starting for home and I noticed a couple in the distance heading our way with a small dog. I...

    Eyesight or lack of

    I may be getting over anxious about Molly, what with one thing and another but I think I need to talk to you folks about something that is worrying me more and more. In the past several months, Molly has taken to barking at anything that approaches in the lane when we are out for walks, not...

    Hotspot

    Over Christmas Molly developed a matted damp patch under her ear. At first I thought she'd rolled in something gooey and washed the area and thought no more about it. However, it didn't wash away and gradually spread and became wet and when I wiped round the area, there was a little blood in...

    Posting a video

    I've tried to upload a video - admittedly an ancient thing - but I get the message 'uploaded file does not have permitted extension' or something like that. Does that mean it's too old a format to upload?

    The village walk

    Our village and 2 others within a couple of miles arrange a village walk twice a year, spring and autumn. This is no pussy-footing totter, it's a serious yomp over hill and dale and usually attracts around 25 + villagers. At the end, we gather in the village hall (of the one with a church and...

    Raw, combination or no change?

    Following on from SteffiS's thread concerning anal glands, I'm wondering about changing Molly's diet. Having read the info. in the links some of you helpfully posted, I'm wondering if a switch to raw would help. Molly has had seasonal allergies since she arrived with us at 11 weeks old. We...

    Antihistamine

    Due to Molly's sensitivity to grass, pollen and other possible stuff, she has had to take steroids and antihistamine on a couple of occasions. We have managed to avoid these meds in the main, using coconut and salmon oil to keep her skin and coat soft. These have helped prevent the dry...

    Itchy Molly

    Molly has had sensitive skin from the start. She was prescribed 3 courses of steroid by the time she was 4 months old and the vet said she is probably grass sensitive, even allergic. We have been able to keep control of her itchiness with a combination of salmon oil and coconut oil - she was 2...
