We had to say goodbye to Daisy last weekend. Unexpectedly and quite suddenly Daisy became very ill. We had to make the difficult decision to let her go. Difficult because we loved her but the right decision as Daisy is now at peace. We miss her terribly. Daisy came into our lives 3 years ago. … More Daisy Doo
Just before Christmas I learned of Lucy’s sudden and unexpected passing. At 4 years old with razor-sharp intelligence, Olympian fitness and a uplifting presence, this was a terrible, unwelcome surprise to everyone who had the privilege of meeting her or being in her company. Lucy’s people are devastated! Lucy was a beautiful whippet/border collie cross … More Lucy Schneider
For the times when you can’t have a ball (coz it will get lost in the snow) but you’re definitely feeling ” frisbee”. Georgia and Otto definitely enjoyed themselves !

It was a funny old day weather-wise so we decided to hit the dog park before the rain rolled in. This turned out to be a smart move as we … More Having a ball at the Pooch House…

Prior to Booch being neutered, x-rays revealed some extremely serious hip issues that made him unadoptable at that time! As paperwork had been completed and money had changed hands … More Angus
Last week I received the unwelcome news that Tucker had passed following a sudden, unforeseen medical emergency. The news was even more unexpected as Tucker was an 8 year old pooch in his prime. The blessing is that everything happened very quickly, that his people were with him when he passed, and that Tucker is … More Tucker man
Now Melba is getting bigger and has discovered her voice, she is taking her expanding dog “duties” very seriously. Noises, smells, sightings, sniffs, viewings, sounds, movements, anticipations, magpies, squirrels, blackbirds… anything and everything needs to know that she is on duty, steely-eyed, ready, willing and able… to woof very loudly… and then run and look … More Watch Dog in training
Reese wasn’t happy with pootling along at the park… she felt like she wanted to blow off some cobwebs. Chuck it in hand I obliged… and so did Reese… after burners at the ready !!
