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

    Amigos, we have arrived in rainy Venice and here is Monkey waiting for me to come to bed. It was a big day with lots of driving and having to leave our tiny TARDIS across the lagoon with Elena. She remembered me from last year and gave me kind pets, and gave the TARDIS a special place amongst...

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

    I guess little Italian kids have high fake gore tolerance! šŸ˜† And I love how chill the pig is. He’s just got shot through the ear and is having the same ear being bitten by a dog and he’s got this ā€˜Blue Steel’ model face happening like he could care less. I’m thinking that young artist’s...

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

    Yes, it’s for an art show, but it gets…weirder? ā€œPigs and Dogs: exhibition for small and large children: Art High School Duke Buoninsegna: 5th level sculpture class: Car Park in Saint Agatha road.ā€ So maybe that image is student art, but why pigs and dogs? And why choose that for a sculpture...

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

    I am indeed just as guapo as ever, but I am de verdad a leeetle tired these days and long for my comfy sofa in Cornwall. ML says I have worked very hard as a Top Model and deserve a rest, so today we had only a short excursion to Siena where we mainly sat by the cathedral and watched people go...

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

    Pee ess. ML has told me that I must confess eating loads of (frankly deleeeeeecious) poo in the pine forest and then vomiting up my dinner (multiple times) yesterday. And what of it? Any touristical connoisseur worth their salt partakes of the local food culture. For me, poo is food. A food...

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

    Ooooh amigos! It has been a busy week and my leeetle paws are tired! Vale, Monday we stayed home and ML did laundry and the dreaded ā€˜paperwork’, but Tuesday we were back in Florence. I climbed a hill and played with a couple senior lady maremma shepherds in a pine forest. Weeee, I had super...

    Really good to read that Reuben is also nearly back to himself. How are they doing now? Is Reuben going to be able to go back to playgroup soon?

    Annie's eye

    Oooh, that first photo after Annie’s op looked rough - what a big area! But very glad to read in that she’s taking gentle walks and eating, and that Fred is giving her special care too. She certainly looks like she knows how to rest up and have a good snuggle in her comfy blankets. šŸ˜ How is she...

    Poppy

    What a rollercoaster of emotion for you! I’m very glad to hear she is still having good moments that you can spend with her. She looks beautiful and content in that photo. 🄰 Hopefully you are also finding a way to take care of yourself, as it has to be having an effect both mentally and...

    Harness - worth persevering or not?

    This thread is an education for me - and also take my earlier comment to keep trying with this grain of salt: I’ve never had a dog that hated or was scared of a harness. I’ve pretty much just slapped them on either as puppies or older fosters and that was that. The most I’ve dealt with is trying...

    Harness - worth persevering or not?

    Maybe give another one with a different design a try? There are so many out there - which I guess is good and bad. Like @edzbird said, if they could just tell us what feels icky, it would be a heck of a lot easier. Do you have any local charity shops or humane societies/rescue groups that sell...

    Lambies for Red please

    Carbon’s dental stitches hung in for quite a long time too. Thought for sure I’d have to take him in again to get them removed, but one day they were just gone. Hope Red’s are easy too! Aren’t they funny on which ones are ok to brush and which not? Carbón will lay there with his mouth flopped...

    Better out than in? šŸ˜‰ kidding aside, very relieved to hear that he is on the mend. I hope your appointment went well and maybe you can relax a bit more now. :hug:

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

    Ah, but in Germany - as it was explained to me - the multiple first names are NOT first and second, but equal. For example, if I was Jane Sally Smith in Germany, I could legally be called Jane Sally Smith, Jane Smith, or Sally Smith. I know, who cares, right? Just part of the weird world of...

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

    It’s much quieter out here in the Tuscan countryside. But in Florence it was bonkers. I took some uncharacteristic (for me) crowd photos with you in mind. šŸ˜‰
