Very interesting reading, thanks for posting. One thing to bear in mind about any US studies regarding food hygiene and bacteria in food... im led to believe (anecdotally) that meat production hygiene standards are much lower in the US than over here. DD

Here’s Diesel in his new harness. Fits great around the middle but probably better when his chest starts to fill out. Even after 2 days it has been a transformation from walking (dragging) him on a collar.

I’ve ordered one of these in a custom size. eDog Fleece Dog Harness | Shop For our 16 week old boxer who is also growing like crazy. Not arrived yet but their service has been great and talked me through taking correct measurements on the phone. Due to arrive tomorrow so I’ll let you know! DD

I spent a lovely week of long walks with Daddy. He says we can do this all the time when he isn’t at work (whatever that is?) we visited lots of funny places called ‘pubs’ where mum and dad made me sit under the table. Not sure I like that by dad says is a vital skill I need to learn? Also last...

Too cute! ❤️

Did someone say Toys?

so, I now understand what new mums mean by ‘baby brain’. I have puppy brain and despite having a maths degree can’t figure this one out... Most diet info I’ve seen recommends 25% to 30% protein for large breed puppies. All the high quality kibble I’ve seen echoes this advice. However diesel...

thanks Judy. It only does it on a few areas of the patio. I’m suspecting the cowboy builders we had round last year and usin angle grinders. So will be millions of tiny iron particles around embedded in the concrete. Add acid and some sort of salt forms? Anyway. Glad to say case closed!

Well mystery solved and needle in the bladder avoided! DM was cleaning the patio this morning as it had become a bit stinky with poo remains. The solution of detergent she used produced almost exactly the same result. So there must be residue of something on the concrete which reacts with...

I do in fact have a spare slab I can bring indoors. Good thinking! Going to get a bit messy collecting all this piddle! He’s not keen on me chasing him round the garden with a jam jar!

Yes. He’s done 4 or 5 of these now.

Yes. Sorry. Everything they can test for at the vets has come back totally normal which is a relief. They’ve suggested that a ‘sterile sample’ Is sent away for culturing to see if anything grows. Unfortunately that entails extracting pee from the bladder with a needle! Which he won’t like...

Jesus!

Never seen this on either grass, carpet, wood floor or link. And only once on the patio. Going to take a sample into thee vet with me tomorrow.

Weird. Next piddle totally clear but then white blobs started to form a minute later. So thinking either ice crystals or some sort of reaction with chemicals in the patio stone? Got a vet visit Saturday anyway so will ask.

Diesel has just been out for a pee (good lad!) and I noticed small white blobs in his urine. See pic. Any ideas and do I need to worry? They look a bit like globs of fat or similar? Has been eating his normal prepared raw diet and drinking water laced with goats milk, still won’t touch plain...

Looks like a bit of mix? Staffy, Dane, ridgeback? But I’m no expert! Looks cute either way.

Awesome puppy pile! Irresistible...

haven't updated for a while so here goes! Now at just over 14 weeks (when do we start talking in months?) and 12kgs of boundless puppy energy which isn't getting any easier to control! 90% of the time he's a sweet sleepy bundle of fluff, the other 10% he's a zoomy bitey little bugger! A few...

Diesel got lots of nice chewy things! To save my ankles...
