    Another fatal dog attack

    I'm looking forward to seeing kennels full of dangerous chihuahuas, as we all know they are way more vicious than any muscle dog.

    Round here they don't do mud so I usually have anything not tarmaced over to myself 😂😂 In my street of 6 households with dogs, only myself and one other woman wear wellies. She takes her 2 lovely lurchers over to the playing fields across the road every single day, and always has in the 15...

    Camping with a dog

    I have always taken mine. He just loves it. Pre campervan I used to hammer a tent peg right into the ground with a loop of string attached to it that I threaded his training lead through. It never failed to hold him (9kg terrier) and believe me it was often tested as his enthusiasm knew no...

    Are bee's attracted to certain colours?

    Many many years ago, one lovely summer evening, a friend and I were sitting outside a pub. She was wearing a lightish yellow top and got absolutely covered in insects. I think they were aphids. It was hilarious, well for me at any rate 🤣

    I may have done something not entirely reasonable. Help and advice appreciated

    This is just stuff out of a bull's bottom. I feel for you. I have been given 3 dogs over the years. Non of the previous owners wanted any more to do with them! If she couldn't jell with the dog first time round, why does she expect to now? As you say, still same dog, same owner and...

    It's everywhere unfortunately. And if it is picked up, the bag is discarded. My boy dives into bushes to bring them out and then shake them ....

    How Far Can a Jack Russell x Patterdale Walk (Daily)?

    Have you tried putting her in your backpack before? I imagine mine would need to be about to croak before he would submit to it, if then, and would be trying to hurl himself out.
