    If you have a dog – do you ever let him choose the walk route?

    I read online a long time ago about a woman who said as a treat she decided to let her dog choose what route they took for their walk. I was intrigued so decided to try it. I’ll be totally honest, it was partly to see what he would do and also partly because I…

  • A Weekend of Garden Work

    A Weekend of Garden Work

    How can I work in the garden all weekend and still not be done? I ask myself that question as I sit, with tired arms and bits of dirt still in my eyes. I mean, I tidied the front as much as I could by cutting the grass, going round the edges a bit and…

    Is This The Cutest Lurcher Ever?

    Our lurcher Scooby likes to chat – a lot. This evening he looked like he was up to something so I took the opportunity to get a short recording of him and what it is like when we chat. Obviously we think he is the cutest dog there ever was but we might be a…

    Jobs done, jobs to do – repeat

    I hope you have managed to see my other posts this week and enjoyed the music, videos and jokes I have shared with you. It seemed a nice way to show you what I have found without moaning all week about how crap I feel….still!! Never mind, life goes on – and so does the…

    Come dog walking with us and our lurcher

    I thought it might be a nice change to show you some of the things we see when we take our lurcher, Scooby out for his walks. If you have been here for a while you will know I recently acquired a “new camera” so I had a go at capturing some of the more…

  • Got our dog a new ‘toy’ – but will it work with him?

    Will our dog like a lick mat, I wondered to myself while in a wonder shop that sold everything recently. You realise I only went in for compost but I am easily distracted! I wasn’t sure – and neither was he, but with a little encouragement, our furry pal, Scooby, got over his fear of…

  • How many ways can you use a pumpkin?

    So, the saga continues. I wrote in the last post about finally getting round to cutting up and starting to use ‘The Beast’, aka ‘Mr Beast’ (not that one), aka 53 lbs of pumpkin, (aka ‘if I trip over that b****y pumpkin one more time…..). I started with a chutney as I thought that would…

  • Dog Biscuits – healthy, cheap and easy to make!

    I’m on a bit of a ‘dog’ theme lately as I do my best to help Scooby back to full health. As part of that, I’m trying not to to buy commercial dog treats – just as I’ve drastically cut down on what human treats I buy. So far, the easiest and cheapest treat I…

  • Proof Dogs Do Dream in their Sleep!

    Our lovely dog Scooby was sleeping soundly in the living room the other night, when it became apparent he was having a dream! Sometimes he makes a lot of ‘wuff’ noises but this one was silent so I wanted to share it with you:

  • Time At The Dog Park

    We are very lucky to have a great facility for dogs near us which we paid a visit to recently with our lurcher Scooby. We don’t let Scooby off-lead when out for his usual walks for many reasons: All this might make him sound like a nightmare but he is far from it. I’ve never…
