Pets Corner

... and 30 minutes later, Van is still in his tree House as the clouds moved away, but the CCTV caught Munchkin on my chair in the filtered shade ...Van is in the fronds top right.

Bella gets food as and when she wants it. She would refuse to eat it if I gave it to her at any other time, and when she wants it I just give it to her, otherwise I'd get no peace ! Her eating times vary from day to day but she tends to eat more during the night.I only put a bit in her bowl at...

If he does it in the garden, then try and keep him out as much as possible or block off some of it.Our dogs don't go in the garden but get 4 walks a day and last thing at night they go round the corner for their last toilet.

The Cinnamon Trust is a great set up, I walked a dog for a lady for several years through them, but they do not "rehome" dogs. They long term foster them. If they decide you are a suitable dog carer, they put a dog with you, to care for as long as necessary, covering some of the vet costs, ie...

After Oscar we had Sarafi who lived four doors away but spent most of his time with us when we were around. Now that he has gone we get visits from Ollie who is a bit aloof but getting friendlier.

I’ve emailed Pets at Home (3 days’ to get a reply they say) and I’ve emailed the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, who regulate the drugs that vets at least are allowed to dole out, asking if they can help to possibly save a pet’s life.Apropos of nothing, if anyone is in favour of assisted...

Barley and Berry's ears are still going down, so it pays to just wait awhile before doing anything, i still watch them so that they don't rub their heads when upside down on the carpet.

I remember when I had my dog and I let the flea treatment lapse, she ended up with a tapeworm that was resistant to a lot of the common worming tablets. Apparently fleas can carry tapeworms. I wouldn't do that again.

Golden retriever puppies 11and a half weeks, she does a lot to train them for their permanent homes.

The doggy chocolate drops are ok for dogs, I'm not sure what the difference is but any dog I've had has always had a certain amount of ordinary chocolate and never come to any harm by it. Just another modern fad, probably aimed at chocoholics who stuff their dogs with it because they stuff...

No you don't, we just have a ordinary 3 bed house and we had 5 at one point.

Yes and no. I certainly induced fear for a few moments after he bit me. I was drawing the line and making it abundantly clear that I don't accept that kind of behaviour. But after the shock factor wore off I made it equally clear that I was no threat as long as the boundaries are respected. Like...
