    If you were a dog...

    Just for fun I was wondering... If you were a dog, what would be your most enjoyable type of walk and what would be your least?? If I was a dog I'd love long walks out in the countryside or woods, taking my time and having moments to sit down and just sniff the air and look around. Preferably...

    Brainstorming :)

    I've been doing a bit of brainstorming re promoting 'mindful' dog walking on a stall I'm doing in June. I've been trying to work on a word 'thingie'( can't remember the technical term for it!:confused::D) I'll give you my example and you'll know what I mean, if anyone fancies having a think of...

    Waterproof trousers help!

    I've been noodling around the internet looking for some reasonably priced waterproof, over trousers. I need something that can withstand being out in the rain for a few hours and that is also breathable, there's nothing worse than having damp trousers underneath the waterproofs! o_O I've been...

    Merry Christmas from me and the stinkers!!

    Wishing one and all a fab Christmas!! Here's a few pics of the boys, Iggy wasn't keen on the Christmas hat again so his monkey wore it, much to his dislike!:D:D Goose actually looks a bit less grinchy this year, maybe he's mellowing with age... though daughter has an odd skill we call 'Goose...

    Any advice welcome!

    As you know I do one to one walking and consequently have a variety of special hounds in my life! I have recently taken on a new Romanian rescue(a shepherd type cross) she is settled in her home but has not been walked by anyone other than family. A quick bit of background - I walk a few dogs...

    Can anyone identify this plant please?

    This plant grows and covers a lot of ground in our woodland areas, two of my dogs are quite keen to eat it the leaves but as I am unsure of what it is I tend to dissuade them. I am generally happy with my dogs to self medicate when we're out walking(with their owners permissions) but I do like...

    An interesting topic

    Doing a bit of noodling and came across this article - Cultivated meat: the novel food technology which could help animals and the planet I had heard of this being tried a while ago and I wondered what other people think of it and if you are a meat eater would you swap? I don't eat meat...

    I've done it!!

    This is my first post using my new laptop! My windows 7 dinosaur, although much loved by me was getting worse and worse, even the printer stopped talking to it:(... So I bit the bullet did a bit of research then rapidly gave up as all the descriptions were translating as 'blah, blah, blah' in my...

    The dreaded grass seed!

    Just a wee reminder especially to all new pup/dog people to be aware of the dangers of these grass seeds. They are everywhere at the moment and even though I take as much care as possible one of the dogs I walk managed to get one up his nose yesterday, luckily I saw the feathery end sticking out...

    Tech help please!!

    In the last few days I seem to be getting bombarded with GIANT adverts all through the dog forum, at the top, in between posts etc... This has never happened before and is incredibly annoying:mad:.. I just wondered if anyone else is experiencing this or if it's just me and I've done something...

    Recently around 17million mink from fur farms have been slaughtered in the Netherlands. The mink caught covid from farm workers and due to the conditions and the shear number of minks that are kept, the virus swept through them and has mutated, then passed back to humans. It has obviously caused...

    Meet Vinnie!

    I don't have a dog at the moment as you know, but I do kind of have a dog fox! We call him Vinnie, he first appeared in our front garden early last summer, lazing around in the sun. He was looking a bit moth eaten and scratching a lot so I ordered some homeopathic mange treatment for him on line...
