Hi all, just an update on this situation. I've been walking the dog twice a day for about 2 months now, and she spends the evenings / nights with me in my room. I purchased a little dog bed for her to sleep on and she cuddles up with me to watch TV in the evening. As I do a physical job in...

Can someone tell me how I contact admin please?

Hi all, Merry Christmas and just a quick update for anyone interested. After spending Christmas cat sitting for my brother I returned home yesterday. The owner has gone away for a week with her children and a lovely dog sitter has moved into the house. We had a candid conversation about the dog...

Thanks Judy You've seemed to have summed up the situation very well. In spending time with the dog the last week she has become a lot bolder and more spritely, venturing further away from the kitchen instead of automatically returning to her cage, but will the owner appreciate this I wonder. I...

Thanks for your perspective Joanne.

Hello all, and thank you for having me. A bit of an unusual introduction but I must confess straight away I don't actually own a dog and I know very little about them having been raised with cats! However, I'm currently renting a room in a large house owned by a family who have a dog in...
