Totally off topic, I know we had the same thing with Idris and Bert having the sh*ts on Skinners chicken puppy but both did well on Skinners duck Junior. Have you switched him to adult food?
I tried mixing some of our older labs adult skinners and we reverted to water poo. Back on the Junior duck and all is good again. What are you using?
Dog food is so expensive I'm hesitant to go buying sacks to try and set him off again and end up throwing it out as I've done several times now!
I've got him on Hills Lamb and Rice Puppy at the moment, and he's doing really well on it. He thinks life is for romping, not for standing around eating, and this is one of the few foods that he is actually interested in eating!

My biggest non proud owner moment.
I was just walking across the yard, went to bend over slightly to give cec a scratch when something smacked me full force in the face.
Next thing I’m on my back with Bertie on top of me.
I think he must have ran at and head butted me.
The pain was unreal. It’s still awful now. I’ve been sat with peas on my face once I was able to get up!
Honestly was scared to look in the mirror but it’s straight so Im hoping not broken, although this much pain an hour on I’d not be surprised if it is.
Not proud!

Many years ago, I lived next to Hampstead Heath in London. My little collie x and I used to walk on it at least once a day. She was well-trained and safe off-lead.
One day, we were walking past a couple who were sat on a bench having a heated discussion. The male had a Cornish Pasty in his hand which he was waving about, making a point about something to his female companion. Dear collie x ran up to them, jumped on the bench, removed the pasty and hastened off with it. I pretended not to notice, and we both scuttled off round a corner. She had downed the lot within minutes and we went home another way!

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 zooming past a fisherman, doubled back to spill and chomp up his sweetcorn. He’s another picnic thief, bombing round the park and a lady came up to tell us he’d very gently stolen her kid’s sausage roll. 🙈

Many years ago mum and dad had gone on holiday with friends, both in caravans. Dad had 2 cockers who were very well behaved. One went missing when they were sitting outside, dad went looking, couldn't find her until he looked under the caravan and saw dog laying with a joint of beef between her paws. The little sod had gone into friends caravan opened the oven door, got the beef out all without tipping the tin up and proudly waiting for it to cool off. Dad wasn't impressed - not because he paid for the joint of meat but because they missed their dinner.

Imagine a very big and nice forest, a very busy and dangerous road and a Basset getting a scent on the other side of the road....

Then someone sitting on the verge with a lying down Basset refusing to move, a bowl of water and a book simply waiting
for the Basset to give up and follow her.

She did came at the end, gave her treats and lot's of praise, guess, she can't work it out it was dangerous to cross, she just follow the scent.

The cars driving by must have had a good laugh, someone passing on a bike asked if i was reading her a dog story.,,

I replied yes, Rintintin, it's was a kid's story with a German Sherperd.

Talk about looking stupid, getting cross wouldn't have helped. Learning the TTouch, it should help in the long run right ?

I took Liberty to a riding competition today. I was queuing to get some chips when I realised the puppy, on her lead, was getting uncomfortably close to someone's picnic bag, so I did the natural thing and attempted to gently pull her away. This somehow resulted with me tripping over my own feet, falling over, scaring the puppy and landing with my head on the picnic bag. No sandwiches were harmed, but a few onlookers were rather alarmed and worried for my health because they're kind. I just sat there laughing so they really should be more worried for my sanity.

Young dog was an absolute ARSE earlier, and of course on a day when I really, really wasn't in the form for an arsey dog.
Very frustrating that I have a four year old dog who is an absolute angel, capable of very nice work and being a stooge dog at training, and a feral ratbag once she steps outside her own front door. Just wish I could do more to help her, she is generally a very jolly, happy, loving dog, but once over threshold just expects aggro around every corner, in an environment where she should feel safe.

Two things in as many days....Came home on Monday to find he'd (he's 13, no spring chicken with no track record) chewed the crotch out of my PJ bottoms....I don't know why but I was really embarrassed.

Yesterday walking by the river, family sat on a blanket (he was on his string) but they called him over....he obligingly went over, took a pat, put his face in a lunchbox and f**cked off with a sandwich chewing rapidly! I was Mortified....(again, he's never stolen food in the house...but it was on the floor to his mind)

Both of these tickled me.

You can hardly blame him for the sandwich though. They invited him to the party 🤷‍♀️😅
