Before we had our present dogs we had a fantastic male dog. We always fed him only dried food and he was always great company. He was energetic and full of life until very old age when he finally slowed down. We did however always have a few recurring problems with him. He quite often had very bad breath He had lots of teeth extracted at much expense At least twice a year he had to have his anal glands emptied by the Vet Not very nice i know but this is how it was. We were given some […]
Does Your Dog Eat Raw Chickens?
We often feed our dogs raw bones or chicken wings and if we were richer they would get a lot more raw meat and bones. Unfortunately that is not really the topic of this post but i will be writing about the pros cons of raw meat for your dogs next. If you have read my about page then you know we live in the countryside in Spain and are quite remote. Each parcel of land is known as a Finca. There are small to large plots and normally they have a small building on them. Now there are […]
When to Get Your Dog Sterilised/Spayed
Note: Please see my female Dog Spaying post for lots of information on post spaying care. We did a lot of reading up on when we should get our dogs spayed.

What Do You Mean Dogs Should Not Be On The Furniture?
I seem to be fighting a losing battle when it comes to the girls and the furniture. No sooner do i turn my back than some kind of secret conspiracy ensues. It’s like – “Hey, he’s not looking Ssshhh. Jet, you take the futon, Daisy you get the left side of the sofa and I (Fay) will take the centre and the right, quick he’s coming, pretend to be asleep.” SNORE…. At least that’s how it seems!
Just How Fast Can One Dog Eat?
Jet who is still just a puppy can be very endearing and has a very gentle nature just like her Mum Daisy. She is very good at doing as she is told and always sits like the other girls when it is time to eat. We have trained the them all to sit while we place their food on the floor and then they are told to take their food by name and they do so. It is one very important thing i learned from our previous dog. Never just put the food on the floor without the dog […]
Welcome To The Three Dog Blog
This very well could have been a Seven Dog Blog! Thank goodness it isn’t. Daisy gave birth to 5 pups but luckily through friends and lots of advertising we now have only 3 dogs.
