    Lylas first season..

    I think it maybe depends on the dog... i was so nervous about Jess coming into season and worried and worried and expected we would have all the neighbourhood dogs at our door - at that time we lived in a house that backed onto a local park that was always full of dogs and i was sure it would be...

    Measuring for perfect fit harness?

    That's good - glad you like them. I am using the perfect fit after all - with a bit of adjustment it fits ok and he doesn't mind wearing it now, so that will work for the time being and I can keep looking for an actually perfect fit harness later!

    What made you smile today?

    I hope you joined in? I love to howl with Jess, it's very therapeutic. And she actually holds a note, which sounds ridiculous but I swear is true. She looks at me and sings while I sing and stops when I stop and together we make a harmonious(ish) and happy howl. Brodie gets too excited and...

    Measuring for perfect fit harness?

    Thanks, yes I would consider a made to measure though also need something soon...i was looking at a company called space k9 or space textiles. Have you seen them? I quite like the design but they are obviously a small scale operation so not sure what the quality will be like.

    Measuring for perfect fit harness?

    The harness has arrived, its not the right fit which is annoying - too tight behind his legs which is exactly what I had asked about and explained with the measuring so a bit irritated that it has to be returned. I'm also a bit underwhelmed by the harness generally, very flimsy clips in the...

    A very agitated Bear - and effects of Suprelorin

    I've no idea, I'm afraid, but didn't want to read and ignore it! I think if it is causing him distress - and Monty, who must be finding it difficult too - then it is worth exploring your options. But I have no practical advice or experience of this. Am sure someone more knowledgeable will...

    Homer's tooth

    I hope all goes well today. Dental work is miserable for humans and can't imagine it is any more pleasant for dogs but it will be so much better for him to get the teeth out and dealt with now than let it deteriorate and possibly cause really serious infection. It just has to be done and...

    The Labraventures of Carbón, Spanish (ex-) foster dog extraordinaire

    That sounds really hard and I hope it does pass quickly. Carbon will be just fine - I think our dogs are much more adaptable than we give them credit for, and if he had a busy and active day on Saturday then a quiet day or two is nothing at all to worry about. (Kate has just posted her message...

    Measuring for perfect fit harness?

    Got a reply from them - they have suggested M-S-L pieces, have ordered and will see how we get on.

    Puppy School

    Your puppies always look so chilled @Sophiedoodle , even the tiny ones. If I ever get another puppy (not imminently likely!) I'll send it to you. Until it is at least 1 😁

    Measuring for perfect fit harness?

    Brodie has grown out of his harness (petsafe) and the next size up of that one is too big, oddly. So we need a new harness. I think he is an odd shape as he has a deep chest and a very long back so perfect fit seems like a good idea as we can buy the pieces separately. But the perfect fit...

    What made you smile today?

    In a similar situation a few weeks ago, I actually waded in to get the ball 😂 Brodie was looking at me with such faith and desperation that I couldn't let him down. Of course as soon as I went into the water Brodie jumped in too and I couldn't find the ball in all the mayhem so we just got...

    What made you smile today?

    Congratulations - very exciting! And great that you already know people that can do trades stuff. I'm impressed with all the DIYers here but I am firmly in agreement with @Xena Dog Princess that the cheapest way to pay is with money. I don't mind some basic work but my absolute worst...

    Bee sting

    Oh no! The bees do seem to be waking up at the moment, I keep expecting this to happen to Brodie when he is marauding through the undergrowth near our house. I hope Annie feels better soon.

    Sore tummy

    I tend to agree with you - but Brodie's hypoallergenic food is soy-based and has no animal protein. So I suppose that makes it a vegan diet? He seems to really like it, to my surprise!
