The butcher I usually go to won't give anything - you can see them sawing up the bones and they say they don't have any so I reckon he's saving them for himself or someone else!! I've ordered online from dublin meat company a few times now and chanced my arm asking of they had any bones and every time they've given 2 or 3!! I was over in their artane shop the other week getting some bits and pieces (for us not the dog for a change lol) and he brought out what they had and let me pick the ones I wanted! .

Mu uncle is minding his dog's mother for the next 2 weeks, oh she is such a dote! She is the sweetest most gentle dog in the world, epitome of a Golden retriever. Just been for a lovely walk with the dogs so now we're all wrecked

Mother took my dog to the pound without telling me. 20 times more upsetting than when my dog of 12 years had to be put down. Heart broken

Hershey won the "Dog you'd most like to take home with you" category in the fun dog show today. I was so proud!!
He was also entered into the fetch competition and did me proud, had to go get three things that were thrown for him and he got and brought every one of them back! Even, if he did have problems getting the tennis ball into his mouth.

Peach has not left my lap since 6 o clock. It is now 2 O clock. If it wasn't for her intermittent purring I'd think she was dead. I can't feel my toes.

Feel so guilty, Tuesday night I let himself outside for his final night time pee went and made a cup of tea before heading off to bed, my heads been a bit all over the place this past while that I actually forgot to let him back inside again and went off to bed. He never even cried or barked, it's only when I got up the next morning for work I couldn't find him in the kitchen that I went outside and found the poor fella in his kennel.

My fella's had a bug for the last week or so. Funny, as he's eating well and all waste functions are working. It's just that he has no energy!

Normally loves his 3-5 mile walks, but hasn't been able to do one since. Decided to take him to the bank this am - it's a 2.5m round trip which he'd be able to do no problem. Made it there, but had to carry him halfway back. I'm sure the little prince was laughing at me as I heaved him home. Funny thing was once he got in, he was full of beans, running about having his mad half hour!!!

Aw no Happens us all though, I often lock Cream in the utility when his zoomies are getting so bad that he is putting his own life in danger/trying to kill Peach, and more often than not I forget to leave him back in after a few minutes! Give your fella extra cuddles and he'll be grand

Funny in comparison but Bailey's hiding place is under the kitchen table... I was sitting inside the other day and could hear him crying...my mum went in thinking he was too lazy to open the door (it has a sping thing to close it over and sometimes goes too far for him) and he was stuck under the table lol!! I must have moved one of the chairs back in as i was passing and blocked him in without realising! No more than he deserves - he's too big now with his head sticking out one side and tail out the other!!

We've just had our first (and most likely last) BBQ of the year. The dogs are well fed Since I treated my cat Cream with a homeopathic remedy he seems to have really lost his fear. He came right down to us despite polish people being there (he's racist you see), and was trying (and failing) to play with the dogs, I'd throw a toy for the dogs, he would chase it and scare off the dogs But since losing his fear of people he seems to be scared of everything else. I had to buy him a new plastic food bowl rather than his stainless steel one as his reflection had started to scare him..
