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 !
I recently received the very unwelcome news that Wrigley had lost the fight he was having with bone cancer… a fight that he and his people didn’t know that they were in until a week or so before he passed. An unfair, sneaky, dirty fight… as always seems to be the case! Wrigley’s people are … More Wrigley
Cora thought that she would visit today to get first-hand experience of what she’s heard about the Pooch House (i.e, that Labradoodles are always welcome). 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…
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
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 !!
As I have intimated on a number of occasions, s it’s all about the ball… particularly where Daisy is concerned ! For Ruby, it’s all about the ball too… but in a more subtle way. Today was all about teaching a patience-less puggle to take some time, to relax and smell the roses, and also … More How to pi$$ off a patience-less Puggle
Congratulations to Melba, who proved last night that she is indeed a Clever Canine… !!
Melba was happy to see a colour-coordinating object on the ground… even moreso when she realised that it was a dog bed! “If I fits I sits” she said, plonking herself down. Puppies can be very persuasive… and possession is 9/10th’s of the law… !! Melba… it’s yours… !!
I received the unwelcome news of Barley’s passing last week. He had been unwell for a while and had been fighting a brave fight in the face of worsening illness. He’s now at peace. Barley and I met the best part of 10 years ago. I had been speaking to his people for a little … More Barley Boy
