You need to have undergone a tragedy or had someone with significant illness to get on there! Hopefully they re-home in between programmes to average non-tragic people! I think the last one I saw recently was from 2021, they must have them stacked up.

Same, I love the happy re-homing stories, it's why I can't stop watching Doghouse, even tho the receptionist is like a kids' TV presenter. :(

I saw some pretty nasty stuff about AH taking over, but the idea is that Battersea remains high profile. I think they had popular dogs, a cute puppy, a chocolate lab, a nice cocker with a sob story, all of which helped, but tbh, she seemed fine, really keen on the dogs and everyone will just get...

Doesn't Clodagh have that in her house?

My mum once took the house guard dog to the shops and forgot to give it the command word to come back with her. She had returned back to the house by the time she realised he wasn't with her and had to go back, give the word then the dog came with her. It was the headmistress of Rodean who had...

I do wonder what owners would say if asked why they have a type dog or why they're walking them without muzzles. My OH made off in the opposite direction to one this week so I was very wary going to the same place but Mitch can't yet go to the woods and the other park is full of kids doing...

What à handsome lad!

The only staff I currently come across is a tiny bitch who comes pelting up for strokes in the woods. Really easy going, sweet and teeny brindle girl. I’d say it’s a great choice. Any dog can knock over a toddler. Goose’s tail would do that.

Going round a fairly remote part of the woods today and heard a guy calling his dog and putting on a lead, so I did the same, called Goose, stuck him on the lead, got off the path to give way. Guy had a 4 month old dobie puppy who was fine just ‘jumpy’. Given Goose was running free-never out of...

See, this would and did pi$$ me right off with the neighbour’s son’s dog, it would go nuts at mine and mine would go nuts back. I think mine should be allowed to be in their own garden without being harassed by a visitor’s dog being aggressive. This was the dog that attacked Zak in the carpark...

Conversely, Goose went back for a check up on his gammy paw, which the vet pronounced to be ‘looking good’ then charged us £42! They then sent us a survey and I had to write that I was not thrilled to be charged when check ups/follow ups have always been free there. First time I’ve been charged...

This terrifies me. I don’t think I’d cope with a small dog in case it was attacked. Saying that, my two are extremely submissive so any aggressive dog would cause damage, I doubt they’d fight back (and yes, I had a very DA dog, 2/3 incidents in 11 years and countless hurried exits from the park...

Thought I’d seen a responsible xl owner this week, being walked on a short lead, muzzled, towards the park, but no, the minute it was in the park, off came the lead and the muzzle. Fair enough, it was being entertained by the two young women walking it who were throwing sticks, but I didn’t...

Crossed the field to avoid a big barky brindle thing that the owner had issues controlling. I was longlining Mitch, didn’t get more than within 100feet. It reminded me of having to make a swift exit with puss cat. Dunno why people get big dogs they can’t control, although Mitch is strong and...

My stupid fat feet finally fit in ‘normal’ slippers (not massive blokes’ ones). Goose immediately decided the new fluffy things were toys and dicked off with them. Then I dropped the waterproof tape for Mitch’s dressing, sneaked off with that too. Sure I’ve told this anecdote before. Brig, on...
