aww thanks :o Yes the weather was lovely, we had sunshine every day. And considering it was a BH weekend, what are the chances of 4 good days???!!! :shock: :o And yeah, it was chilled the majority % of the time... times when it was not = The first night as it was going dark and the electric was dodg...

Thought some of you might like to see a few photies of Austin's second ever holiday last weekend. We had a longer trip from friday to tuesday We took him to the Malvern Hills in our caravan, and he loved it as usual! Walked a ton, slept well, enjoyed just chillin outside the van observing everything...

Auz matts daily, always has done from a puppy It's been a constant battle to make him accept the grooming every single day but we have made good progress Some days he can sit good as gold as if I'm not there, other days he rolls on his back and acts like a pratt :roll: :mrgreen: Those safari combs l...

Hiya Austin's coat is fleecy, thick and v curly :shock: I brush him every single day... about 30 minutes, sometimes more if he's had a hectic doodley day :mrgreen: He gets clipped down every 5 weeks I did used to like his coat longer but it just gets too unmanageable His puppy coat mixing with his a...

Wow thats a lot of steps for little legs And she's only 12 weeks?
I would have only walked Auz that far when he was about7-8 months I think

Oooo yes.. diggin and taking the p*** :| We know this verrrrry well! Austin went through a phase of this which *hopefully she says* he is coming through now... slowwwlyyyyy... :roll: :D He was v v good at going out, doing a wee and popping straight back in the house Then overnight it was going out, ...

Swines indeed! :twisted: :lol: :| Austin hasn't tried to escape from our garden (yet) as we had a new 6 foot fence and gate installed just as we got him, but it's true about their sweet spots they find Austin's weaknesses with certain areas are small holes / gaps. He just has to make them bigger I h...

We recently got Auz a Kong Safestix Bendy, tough and it floats... http://www.safestix.co.uk/the-new-kong-safestix/ You can get them in differing colours, we got the pink one so it was easily visible Here's Auz on holiday recently with his... http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a547/lakesbabe2001/Mob...

I DEFO think all the dogs in my area are coming into season in these past 2 weeks! :lol: :| Just got back from another dog walk and AGAIN there was a bitch in season (public park) We were on a bit of waste land just behind the park having a nice ball game and then.... BOOM.. Auz shot off, down the p...

Yes, Auz was a right pain today.. I was trying to get him away from the dog (whose owner was, I am sure, thinking Austin was trying to eat her!!) and Aus just did NOT want to come back to me. His mind was elsewhere I just don't know what to do. We were thinking of breeding him, but if this continues...

I've only ever had male dogs, so don't know what it's like when a girly goes into season Is it common practice to walk them where other dogs are for the time they are on heat, or do you avoid it? I know they have to be walked, so I guess so, you just keep an eye on them and know what to expect? Rece...

How awful for you both :cry: Sorry this has happened You often don't say anything at the time as it's all a blur and you are trying to rationalise what has just happened!.. so don't feel badly about that Can you see if the marks are caused by nail or tooth at all? If tooth you might want to get them...

We too have extending leads, which only come out for when we are going on holiday or away in an area we don't know, so they can still get some freedom whilst we suss out there are no cliffs, livestock, roads etc. Far better safe than sorry. Yes, thank you :o I am so so glad I got the extending lead...

Awwww, it's awful isn't it So sad :cry: Especially when all they had to do was not pick up that piece of junk! My in-laws dog sadly had to be put to sleep 2 years ago. She was a healthy 2 year old spaniel The vet found a wedge of rubber in her guts. It had 'backed her up' and caused all sorts of ter...

Yes, thanks, I found the walk so much more relaxed Just hope he doesn't get used to it and try it on, squirming to get out of it :lol: :? I was thinking it could be something to do with the holiday too. Haha yup his fur goes v curly as it grows. He was cut about 2 1/2 weeks ago so it's grown quite a...
