Hi all,

As some of you may know I managed to break my bloody ankle two weeks ago and this has meant that I can't walk (except on crutches) and I am in effect completely useless.

So Mrs. Losos has had to do everything for me, carry stuff from room to room, prepare all my meals (I usually make my own breakfasts) do the shopping, walk the dogs, clean behind me (She says she's u...

think this is the first working D/H litter in scotland they are 16 days old one is going to the police and one to the Military and if my wife has her way they will all stay here

I've had a bit of a trauma today...mummy only went and left me with Nanny Parrish while she took her car to be MOT'd

I've met Nanny Parrish a couple of times but I don't really know her..not like I know and love my other nanny and grandad in Essex...she is very nice and gives me big cuddles but she has got two pussycats that scare me cos their eyes go all big when they see me...and the...

We got Boo back from the vet this afternoon. Her spey operation went fine. She was a bit of a naughty girl though at the vets. Apparently she was kennel guarding really badly so the vet had to catch her with one of those poles.

I did warn them she is fear aggressive (especially towards men, so luckily the vet was a woman). The nurse asked me to get her out of the kennel because she'd been s...

Well here they are my little fat squidgy pups, all doing fantastically well, even our little man who is now 1lb 6oz!



Mum Jasmine is fit and well, and being an excellent mummy!...

does any-one know what sort of person could abandon a 3 month old rottie bitch.By tying her to a fence in the freezing cold snow n frost?????????

I just love showing off my lovely springer pups Yep all eight of them all with loving homes to go to but here goes with some pics )

We took Boo and Bryan to the vet today. They were pretty well behaved in the car. So much so that we're thinking about taking them for a little drive into the country tomorrow to play in the river.

Boo was brilliant in the vet's. She wasn't scared and stood nicely to have her microchip put in and her vaccinations. According to her owner she hasn't had a season so we're getting her speyed on...

Is aggression more common between bitches when one of them is in or has recently been in season?

One of my bitches started her season three and half weeks ago. It seems to have finished now, but the two bitches (who normally get along well) seem to be fighting over bones / toys more frequently at the moment and quite aggressively.

They are field cocker spaniels, nearly three years old ...

Hey all my puppy is now 9 months old and he is a labrador/rotty. he has a small problem ov when he is told to do somerhing he does not want to do he will tinkle ! or when he is over exited he will tinkle ! . Any tips to help ? any one else had this problem before ? be great to hear from you...

My 8 yr old dog threw up several times today, and is not interested in food or water. what could it be?...

Today we have a totally different Boo!

After we'd been out this morning for an hour, I fed both dogs then had a stuffed kong ready for Boo and a biscuit ball for Bryan. I asked Richard to keep an eye on them while I made our breakfast (yep, the dogs get fed first in this house ).

Once they had finished with their Kong and biscuit ball they started wrestlin...

Boo and Bryan had a bit of a scrap today. She just gets so excited and wants to play, but she's too rough. She gets on top of Bryan and he doesn't like it. So I have keep stopping her playing with him. It's really hard to distract her though - I've tried food, toys, removing her from Bryan, getting her to sit. It's like she goes deaf - but only when she's trying to wrestle with Bryan.

Anyw...

Our new foster dog arrived yesterday afternoon. She's a 7 month old black lab cross (possibly a collie). She's quite small, just about an inch taller than Bryan. She was much too frightened to come to us on Wednesday and had shown some aggression. So they assessed her at Dog's Trust and found she was fine once she'd got to know them.

When Lou got her out of the car I ignored her. We walked...

As some of you may know, I have this lovely noo noo..he's in the shape of a tiger and I take him everywhere with me..I can't leave the house or greet people without having him in my mouth..he's a great comfort to me and since I've had him he has become all limp and spongy. The neighbours love it when I walk past with him in my chops..some passing vehicles have people in them that look in astonish...

Ok, Well I thought I would show you some finished pics. If you go back through my blog entries you will find the before and during shots if you are interested.

I got a phone call this morning from Sam at Dog's Trust. The puppy that was supposed to be coming to us today is too traumatised to go into a home, especially with another dog.

They picked her up yesterday and kept her at the veterinary suite overnight. Apparently, they can't get a lead on her because she snaps at anyone who comes near her. She's so terrified of everything. It sounds like s...

Guess who rang today? The Freedom Project

They have a seven month old, black lab cross, bitch for us. I can't remember her name She sounds pretty well trained, not aggressive, knows two commands, has good recall, doesn't chew but does dig in the garden (Bryan will teach her a thing or too about that ).

They're going to bring a crate for her to go in because she's so...

I've been having a mini-break from fostering for the past couple of weeks. We were invited to stay with friends in Stafford for a long weekend and because Pudding went home it was just easier not to get another foster dog until we'd been away. Bryan came with us and spent quite a bit of time hiding from small children who wanted to stroke him to death

I've recently set up an online sho...

Thought I would let you all know that my darling Jasmine is due to whelp around the 1st June 2009. This will be her final litter. 2 years ago she had a singleton pup, our darling Flora, who stayed with us. This time I'm pleased to say she is definitely having more than one......as you can tell by the pictures below!

This was her scan taken last week:

Well, there seems to be a lot of debate at the moment in the forums about the 'theory' of pack structure in human/dog relationships, dominance etc. I, for one do believe that humans should occupy the alpha positions in the relationship. In my experience, you don't have to work hard to maintain that position with a well brought up and socialised dog. Probably with a dog with 'issues' you would h...

Pagan's pups are now over 9 weeks old and are running rings around the rest of the pack.

Most have gone to their new homes but one is being kept for someone, one I am keeping and there is just one remaining to find a home for.

They are really bold, confident and naughty puppies - they love nothing better than tugging at my washing until the pegs ping off the line - then they race down the ga...

Helloooo people!
I'm Romeo and my mammy will have probably have mentioned me loads on here ( whatever 'here' is ).
My eye is funny at the minute, i dont know whats wrong i just know it hurts and this smelly gloopish gloop is coming from it and it feels better closed.
So yesterday i just slept :/

Hey
Lately i'm training my dog to go place. This is when people enter the house and i tell Romeo to go to his cushion ontop of the stairs and then allow him to greet people on my command.
I was doing this because we live on an estate with a busy road and he could dart out if he saw a cat and then poof no more Romeo.
Anyone had any luck with stuff like this?

I took my Boxer, Harley, to the vet for his annual check-up. The vet detected that he has a heart murmur. When Harley was a puppy, a heart murmur was detected but disappeared until now.

Harley is 5.5 years old and full of energy. However that energy fades quickly. It takes him forever to cool off, he pants forever. Harley has also dropped 7lbs in 1 year. The doctor said the heart murmur coul...
