    Exactly the same here! I know all of our breed representatives and am confident they’ll behaving a ball 😊

    We’re a very numerically small breed. In all of the newsletters we ask for people, who have dogs who are happy, confident and happy in a bustling environment to volunteer for these sorts of breed promotion events. We do tend to have a core number of people who have done it before and whose dogs...

    MAYDAY, MAYDAY!!! I can’t find my pretty fancy feathery show number arm clip thingy. The judge is DEFINITELY going to withhold now 😳🙄🙈😂 Looks like I may have to interrupt my discover dogs day on Saturday with some shopping…

    Insuring the older dog

    We’re in the same boat, Dalmatian will be 14 this year. Paying an extortionate amount but she has a lifetime policy and is still fully covered bar a 20% co payment. She had a mast cell tumour removed in 2020 with no reoccurrence upto now. She’s totally deaf now, has lost a fair bit of muscle...

    I feel you on the weight thing- I dared to go on holiday for a week at the beginning of Feb without him and he went on hunger strike. He was already fairly lean as it was the end of the shooting season. Amazing how little time it takes for him to resemble a hat rack, but the struggle to get it...

    Are these safe to leave a dog unattended with?

    The black kongs are the ‘extreme’ ones and supposedly really tough. I’ve had these and the red ones for 5years, used multiple times a week and they’re all good as new once they’ve been through the dishwasher Mine aren’t crazy mad chewers though. I only bought the black ones as Ivy was finding...

    Are these safe to leave a dog unattended with?

    We like the ‘ribbon’ kongs- they can’t get their whole tongue in but still keep them occupied. We fill with either gravy bones, carrot sticks or can fill with wet food and freeze...

    Grooming has also begun- Poor Erik has said goodbye to his topknot. Had some fun with it first 😂 And my personal favourite ‘Erik, the westlife era 😂’
