    Stopping pee burns on grass

    Hello everyone - not a problem for me, but my daughter wants to know whether there is a solution for burnt patches on the lawn where her dog pees? Does anyone here have any experience?

    Sorry for being away!

    I've come back onto the "Welcome" forum because it feels like I've been away for ever! Sorry I've been so absent - work got really busy and there were various other distractions, so I haven't checked back here for ages. Pongo is furious at me for keeping him away from his frens. I'm going to...

    Delicate question....

    With apologies to sensitive readers...… do dogs have wet dreams? Pongo was having a very exciting dream last night (paws flapping, lip curling, wuffing etc) and when I looked later there was a little mark on the carpet under his willy where Something had apparently been.....ejected. It didn't...

    Pongo proves his worth

    I've just spent half an hour giggling. In lockdown, Paul can't play golf. So he has cleared a tee spot at the edge of our big field (3 acres) and is using it to practice hitting balls. My job (because I am such a good, loving wife) is to stand out there in the field, spot where each ball...

    Suggestions to build a doggy friendship?

    We have just got a tenant for the house next door (which we bought last year) who is lovely and perfect for us in every way. Dog lover - in fact she has just got a rescue dog. He is Boris, a basset hound (she loves basset hounds). We've said she is very welcome to use our field to let Boris...

    What goes on in his head?

    Pongo is not allowed upstairs, and NEVER goes upstairs. There is no gate to stop him, but he never, never goes upstairs. We went out for lunch and left Pongo in the house, snoozing as usual. He'd had an exciting morning because one of his favourite hoomans had visited and gave him a huge dog...

    Good news!

    Just felt I had to share this, although there is a huge chance I'm talking too soon and will jinx it. BUT.... For years and years now Pongo has had recurrent itchy ear problems, especially in allergy season. It's not a major life-threatening condition, but it is horrid watching him shake and...

    Lost dog - please help! **NOW FOUND**

    Not Pongo! But a friend of mine. I know it's a long shot, but if any of you have any networks or friends in the relevant area, could you please share? Lost dog from postcode SA11 - between Merthyr and Swansea. Bella is a yellow Labrador, slim and friendly, with a distinctive line down her...

    The adventures we never hear about...

    Most of the time I (sort of) know what Pongo's doing. But he sometimes has adventures that I'll never know about. See what you think of this one, and what story would you make up about it.... Pongo has been spending a couple of days with his "other" pack - his dog-sitter and her little collie...

    Canal party OMG

    We've been invited....WITH PONGO....to a day on a canal boat. This will either be lovely or......my mind boggles. Will report back. (Do they make scuba gear for dogs?)

    What does this mean?

    OK forum friends, help me unpick this one.... Slightly long story here, but I want to give the background in case anything is relevant. We went trailing yesterday. For various good reasons, interactions between the dogs are not encouraged, so Pongo is not generally allowed to say hello etc -...

    Poor old Pongo

    I know it's nothing compared to some of the traumas our forum dogs seem to be going through at the moment, but I do hate it when the big Pongster is under the weather. Just back from the vets because he was worrying at his ears and normal drops didn't seem to be helping. Sure enough when she...

    Mantrailing - Pongo's new game!

    Has anyone else tried this? Pongo and I went on an "introduction to mantrailing" session yesterday and it was a hoot. There were just four dogs, and each worked individually (which was quite good for Pongers, because he finds it really hard to concentrate if there are other dogs involved!)...
