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 […]
Do You Feed Your Dog Raw Meaty Bones? Dogs Love Raw Meat
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. Female Dog Spaying, and when, is a very divided field. There is a lot of information available but most of it is quite conflicting. Basically there are two main camps. You should get your dog spayed as soon as possible You should let your dog have its first season before being spayed We decided that we were slightly swayed by the latter but looking back for us and […]
