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 […]
Dog Car Safety Harness or Seat Belt (keep you and your dog safe)
Here in Spain it is the law that all Dogs in cars must either be in the boot with a grill stopping them being able to get in to the back seat or if they are in the back seat they must have a safety harness or dog car seat belt. They take Dog Car Safety very seriously. This is a fantastic idea, especially if you have a slightly rowdy or very nervous dog. It stops the dogs getting in to the front of the car and causing untold problems whilst driving but also stops them inflicting great damage […]
My Dogs Are Taking Advantage
We all drove home late yesterday with 50 litres of freshly pressed Olive Olive Oil in the boot. Not bad from 300 KG of Olives. Anyway it was dark and cold when we got home so I stumbled around outside loading up on wood in a big wicker basket to take inside. Holding a torch and a big pile of wood is not the easiest and needless to say I dropped a big log of super hard Almond wood on my big toe. I let the log know how I felt and hobbled inside and made sure it got […]
Doggie Conversations……
“Jet……Jet……..JET!” “What?” “Do you really think you should be doing that?” “What (gulp, munch, chew,gulp) do you mean?” “Eating the shouty mans bed like that” “Why not, he loves it” “He loves it?” “Yeah, ‘course he does” “I don’t think so” “He does, haven’t you noticed?” “Noticed what?” “Well whenever one of us chews something he jumps up and down and starts running around singing” “Are you sure he’s singing, I always thought he was shouting?” “Nah he loves it” “Well, i’m off downstairs before he wakes up, just in case you got it wrong ikkle pupster” “Yeah whatever, […]
