With Christmas truly on it’s way I guess I should do a plug for a Doggie Toy. You can’t neglect them when it’s prezzie time. Dogs love getting something they can have a good old play with so why not get something that will last and may also stop the dogs from chewing up the house. I know that this is a problem for many. Especiall if you have a new dog or a puppy. How To Stop Dogs From Chewing It can be a real problem for some. Our solution was to put a bit of oil laced […]
A Howling We Will Go
This Sunday morning has been anything but peaceful. Here in Southern Catalonia the hunting season is in full swing. This means that every Thursday and Sunday the hills are alive with the sounds of men shouting, whistles blowing and random dogs popping up all over the place. Today it seems everyone had decided that the best hunting was in the mountains just above where we live. So from six thirty this morning there has been and endless swarm of vehicles pulling caged trailers packed tightly with hunting dogs. I won’t go in to the rights and wrongs of how […]
Danger On The Catalan Mountainside (should I Stop Dogs Chasing)?
Thursday evening I got back home later than I wanted to. It was just about to get dark so I gathered the little monsters and decided a quick walk was in order before it was dark. We had only gone a hundred paces or so when I realised it was now acually very difficult to see. I could see the outline of the track though so we carried on with our walk through the Catalan countryside. I should have done what we always do if it is about to get dark and that is carry a torch. Not so […]
Jet The Wonder Dog’s First TV Show
No, she isn’t on TV but she watched her first show. The other night after working online and then getting my brain totally frazzled by Twitter I decided to chill out and watch some rather aimless TV. Before I tell my oh so wonderful story – an aside. I joined Twitter a while ago and have kind of ignored it for the most part. I decided it was time to go back and investigate. Seeing peoples “tweets” just frazzled my little brain. What IS it all about? Is it useful or just for fun. Does it help your networking […]
THE Dog Book
I am sure those of us with dogs have a plethora of different books related to dogs in general or maybe the specific breed we live with but………. What Is THE Dog Book You Would Always Recommend? If you had to recommend one dog related book what would it be. Would it be technical, an aspect of dog care or would it be a dog related story? Books for dogs come in all manner of types and the best dog books often hit the bestsellers but if you had to choose one what would it be? For me there […]
There Will Be Peace on The Mountainside…..finally
This morning I went to check on the chicken situation and it seems that finally mother nature with a bit of help from the vast swarms of vultures that come to feed have finally depleted the chicken pile. Looking After Dogs Just Got A Lot Easier This is fantastic news as me and the three girls can finally get back to the life we know and love. After weeks I can finally just open the door and let them out to run around, and boy did they. The weeks of only having two walks a day but no extra […]
The Good The Bad and The Puppy…….it almost rhymes!
After having three dogs under my feet whilst I have been at home working for the past few days I decided a partial doggie break was in order. I was off down from the mountain working today and decided to just take the puppy Jet with me and leave the other two girls at home. Daisy (the good) is to be trusted as she is such a well behaved dog and the worst she has ever done is nab a shoe and sleept next to it, never any damage done. Faye (the bad) on the other hand has had […]
