Hah, nothing like spending time with a little firecracker to make you appreciate your mad dog, amirite? Today I took Xena on her very first pack...
You talk about buying a dog for hunting, but you've never owned a dog before. I'm just...I wonder if your expectations are a little unrealistic?...
That's fab! I've started to leave Xena free a few times this past week, under 2 hours both times, and she's been great. Even came home to her...
You'll need a large. They look massive but they're the right size :) Xena gets her meals in the Wobbler.
Have a safe trip. Rural France in winter is pretty bleak so you won't even have some nice scenery to distract you. You'll be so glad to get home!
Just to echo - 5 WEEKS?! So that's cool, next time he eats something illicit you know how long you have to wait before panicking!
Oh Moo, you are so wise, why didn't I think to roll in it first?! You give the best advice to all the young pups.
I wish we had foxes in Noozeeland, their poo sounds amazing. I have to make do with whatever cat poo I can find. Buuuut yesterday I found hooman...
Oh, I'm sorry that you weren't able to be with her at the end. At least she had a nice final day and went in her sleep.
Ah Sev, I'm sorry to hear this. I was just wondering today how you and Jackie were getting on, I never would have thought you'd have to post about...
What a smashing-looking dog, and what a fantastic story you tell. She sounds like a hoot! I'm so glad that she's had a fantastic life and that she...
Flexi is what I'm looking at too, and I see that they're German made - no wonder they're so pricey. Ah thanks for mentioning tape vs cord, I was...
Very helpful, thanks Emily. I've been thinking about it all afternoon and I think I'm going to have to suck up the cost (they're expensive!) and...
I'm considering buying a retractable leash. Xena is generally pretty good off lead. If she's close to me (a metre or so) and she sees people I'm...
I voted "other" because he looks like a mix between a Rottweiler and a Huntaway, which is a breed unique to NZ and is a sheep dog. So obviously...
I hope it heals fast. Your immune system has enough to worry about without a bung leg. We had our first obedience class of the new year tonight....
Mum says that I'm not allowed in the bedrooms because of the cats. Bloody cats, always smug because they get to sleep in the bedrooms AND on my...
Here's a great little story and video of Kahu, a Lab x, who loves nothing more than to jump off a small jetty in Nelson, NZ. I love the photo of...
Xena found an old boot this morning. She brought it inside and cuddled up to it on the sofa. Bloody weirdo. [img]
Interesting that in the UK the puppies are whelped in the home. In NZ they're born and raised at the breeding centre (from what I can tell from...
