Love the watering can idea - we'll try that! And I think our Wilson may end up being a wader rather than a jumper-in, which is absolutely fine of...
It's reassuring to hear there are a number of labs that don't like swimming etc. I always thought they were all water lovers! Thanks
Lol, fair enough! Thanks for that.
Thanks very much - that's really helpful. We've since been to the beach again and this time the waves weren't breaking too much. So we played with...
Brilliant, thanks.
Thank you very much - that's so good to hear. We'll definitely get some Cowboy Magic.

Thanks Elsie. I feel the same, that it seems a little unfair for us to eat and him to have nothing. I suspect we'll end up with three small meals...
The poo thing is interesting. We'd prefer to keep giving him something small at lunchtime but we'll monitor his poo to see what happens :) Thanks...
That's so interesting, thanks. We'd prefer to keep giving him something at least at lunchtime.
Thanks, that's really helpful to know.
Hi all, could I please have your views on when we should start moving our puppy from three meals a day to two? Wilson is now just over six months...
