Just joking. Although for many of us it is tempting at times when it is one of those days when you just seem to be shouting at the dogs and the fun of pet ownership has all but disappeared. When a dog behaves badly i have found over the years that there is one main thing I can do to calm things down. Exercise! Whenever we have not had chance to give our dogs plent of exercise for whatever reasons the doggie naughtiness gene seems to kick in pretty rapidly! This seems especially true if the dogs are normally […]
The Serious Side Of Dog Ownership
Although i want this site to primarily be about the great company that dogs are and the fun they can bring to your lives i also want to address important and serious aspects of dog ownership. For me and my partner one of the important points is always the worry that something bad will happen to them. Before we owned the three dogs that we do now we had a lovely male that lived until he was sixteen and was fantastic. We moved to Spain and he spent his final years in total freedom in the Catalan countryside. At […]
Dogs Can’t See In Colour
Many people seem to think that dogs can’t see in colour. If that is true how come they always wag their tails when Steve Davis pots a Pink!
My Puppy Thinks She Is A Cat
At the moment my partner is away so I am in control of the Empire! Up until very recently Jet the puppy was sleeping outdoors in a kennel as i could not face yet another round of house training and clearing up in the morning. The puppies bed was comfortable inside the kennel. One night it was cold and Jet was whining outside so i decided to let her sleep in the house. Which she now has done ever since. At first she was just glad to be inside and settled down to sleep straight away. After a few […]
My Dog Is Making Me Look Bonkers!
Recently i have been taking all three dogs in the car with me which is normally OK. If i am going to be out all day i don’t really always want to leave them at home as Faye still has a slight shoe fetish if she is left alone for too long. Daisy is fine at home and Jet the puppy – well i haven’t left her all day yet but i am guessing she would get up to a bit of mischief as she is still only a little pup. All three dogs are on the back seat […]
Yay. A Peg! Or How To Stop Your Dog Chewing The Furniture For Five Minutes.
We, meaning me and the three dogs were in the dining room yesterday chilling and doing whatever we each felt like. I was watching TV and little puppy Jet and her Mum Daisy were asleep. Faye was sniffling about lying on the floor when suddenly up she jumped and was acting like she had just discovered the best way to have fun in the whole Universe. She was jumping about, wagging like mad, rearing on her back legs and generally being bonkers. I just sat watching to see what this most fantastic wasy of having fun was. She threw […]
Dogs vs Humans. The Race Is On! or Dogs Eat Chicken continued
If you have read my previous posts then you know that i have a slight chicken mountain problem! Boy can my dogs eat chicken. Anyway all has been going quite well, considering. Much as they hate it the dogs have either been in the house or with me when i go out. I obviously have been taking them for walks and they have been very well behaved considering the temptatons of a pile of rotting chickens that they are dying to eat. They have been staying close and not really properly trying to run off. So today i had […]
