    I wonder if she finds it boring. She's more than happy to take the same kibble from the remote trainer and the snuffle mat. She's also all over her training treats! I'm definitely not worried about it, just find it most unLabradory! :D

    Betsy's breeder told me that puppies often eat spurred on by the competition from litter mates to get the food. Once the litter mates are removed, some pups are less than enthusiastic for a while.

    She also said this wouldn't happen to Betsy, because Betsy was the most determined eater of food she had ever come across (and that's after breeding Labrador for 30 years!).

    It's true. Betsy is the greediest dog known to mankind, I believe.

    I must take a video of her. OH whistles the Benny Hill theme tune while she eats because she looks like she is in fast forward, like the people running at the beginning of the Benny Hill show.

    Everytime we're watching tv and someone rings a doorbell Stanley turns into a werewolf howling at the moon.

    You don't realise how many doorbells are on the tele.

    So annoying!

    She certainly can't be a lab, then. Don't believe what it says on her pedigree!

    I've always been smug about the fact that Ella never rolls in anything. Until today. And it was fox poo. And we had a long drive home. And I didn't bring a towel. :puke:

    I feel exactly the same. When I got home yesterday afternoon Harley followed me around literally everywhere and even slept snuggled into me last night. I do feel guilty working, but by working we get to do agility, scent workshops, trips away, pay for dog walking etc and lots of nice food, treats and toys.

    My favourite local dog walking menace was aboard today. Mr my dogs not in season is she man! He let her loose for a good run as shes ok now . I's she? She galloped across the field like a sex fiend spun presented he girl bits to Rory weed and lifted her tail to one side and waited for him to jump on. Luckily I'm an easy going sort and just can't fall out with such a silly but we'll meaning man. I had to yet again explain the birds an bee's to him after i managed to catch his wayward strumpit for him. He's not even trained her to come back and relies on random dog walkers to catch her even when she's not in the full flush if Labrador lady lust. Rory was a bit shaken and excited but ok. Got him away and calmed down . I just worry about his dog and him. We all try to help but i just know shes going to end up pregnant. He's a nice man she's a nice dog but so worrying.He makes me smile but oh so tired

    My little boo cocked his leg for the first time today.

    Part of me is a proud Mam. The other part is dreading the marking that's about to occur :facepalm:

    Rory lost his mind ran off stole a collies football got attacked by the upset collie. Wouldn't give the ball up then mistakenly court my hand split open The nuckles when I got it off him. I gave the ball to the dog, swore some inwardly and then he broke his lead. We went home then. I had to clean and suture myself try to stop the bleeding . He's fine he's had his tea I could have bloody murdered him. The bleeding has stopped so no a&e today. Couldn't believe it he's usually so good. He also usually gives up stuff happily and doesn't just run off I was so upset. He'd not usually so silly
