Sending love to Rourke, hope he feels better very soon.

Congratulations! What a lucky boy Carbon is.

The passage from my practice room leads into the house opposite our bedroom. When I come out I see Harley and Belli's little faces looking at me. It is adorable.

We give Harley a quick groom/brush every night when she goes for her night time wee and the brush makes a little mat of fur which I have seen in a few nests.

Oh Jen, Rory is just awesome and Stanley looks so pleased with himself. My DH grew up in a family with a really nasty divorce and a number of difficulties - he was very young for his grades and was regularly bullied. But through all of that he had a bull mastiff called Rusty who was his BEST...

I did ask about the dogs running behind the car and she replied that it is their pedicure because that part of the entrance is tarred. Rehearsing what to say is a great idea. I often recommend that to clients who struggle with social anxiety.

Thank you for the replies. It has all been helpful. I have noticed that I have an attention issue - I suspect that it is because I usually walk at the end of a long day of work and my job is very mentally and emotionally draining. With the harness instead of the flat collar I feel way more...

Hello! Firstly I would like to apologize for my long absence from the forum. I have really missed this space. Quick summary and catch up on what Harley and I have been up to...very very little. I have been struggling with back problems and at the beginning of the year a very serious chest...

Ahhh, yes. I searched online and found one supplier. They don't supply to where I live but I am going to do some more investigation.

I am in ultimate awe of people who feed raw, there are days we barely manage to feed ourselves much less remember to buy, stock and prep Harley's food. You must remember that we do not have human children, we have never needed to evolve to keeping an organized system at home :) Thanks Beanwood...

Harley is a normal, beg-with-your-eyes for food lab but recently we have noticed that she seems very hungry, even after her meals. Her weight hasn't fluctuated but she is hungry. Then a few weeks ago she vomited in the late afternoon and her morning meal with basically intact. This made us...

Thank you Aunty Jen. She is getting a Perfect Fit harness for her birthday. The nosework doesn't need her to be in a flat collar so she can return to a harness, which makes us both happy.

Happy belated birthday handsome Kipper!

Harley has had some issues with her anal glands but thankfully seems to be growing out of it. We had to have them cleared every 3-4 months until she was about 18months and only once since. There was talk of removing them when we were having to have them cleared so often but hopefully that won't...

The yellow centre of our our universe turns two years old today. Two years ago, on this day, we didn't know that she would be in our lives. I know that we all love our dogs incredibly but I have to boast that Harley is also a brilliantly well behaved young dog. And on a daily basis she adds...

@HAH, I am not sure why the Birch but at least it is pleasant for me. Although I am careful to not get the scent directly on my hands. I think that may confuse Harls. We didn't have class last weekend because it was a long weekend here. Today's class went well. Harley doesn't "mug" the scent...

The large box will have a smaller scent box inside, or not. so they will start with 2 and Harls will need to stick her nose on or in the box with the scent to indicate. Then more and more boxes and up to 3 scents are added. She will need to find the box with the scent I have indicated. If...

Oh Jacqui, that is so funny! You must be hungry. Regarding the nosework, I have wanted to try a course like this with Harley for a while now but work has been really busy. But if I wait for that to change I will wait forever. I was supposed to start 2 weeks ago but I woke up on the Sunday...

I swear I am going to smudge this lap top with sage or something, I was just saying to DH last night that I am so broody for a pup or a kitten. And this is complete overshare (but if not here, then where right?) but I am convinced that it is when I am ovulating. Some women may want babies, I...

Guilty admission here - I did suggest to DH that we get her something to suckle on. Luckily he laughed at me.
