Hi Winsome, What a story! Poor you and poor Hannah, too. Clearly though there's been no love lost between you as a result. As dog owners, I think we "just...
Kerrie, our Kelly was inclined to be growly & snappy when woken suddenly as well, but this is unacceptable behaviour so she got sternly told that. She is ok...
After our discussions about the dog's diet, a funny thing happened last night. I went outside to pick up the soft fluffy dog's toys in anticipation of a big...
Thanks Denice, Yeah, Nyah scored a gruff "no" from me and a slap in the moosh (not too hard, of course) for her unacceptable behaviour. Since first learning...

Hi Gina, Jessica came with Advantage Duo from GAP. She had her first vet visit today with our vet and she said to keep using it on her. We did have to change...
Hi Gina, Wow, there's quite a few of us newbies checking in on this site and I must admit I'm a bit hooked and loving all the info sharing. Sounds like all us...

Actually, it depends. ANY mammal who is weaned off mother's milk will become somewhat lactose-intolerant if milk is not continued as part of its regular diet....
When we only had Stella she used to get her summer 'dinner' in the morning - we'd make up a heap of mixed weetbix, pasta, veges, sardines, dry food, eggs, and...
I've posted a photo of Radar getting his 2nd birthday cake (see the two 'candles' on top :)). He wasn't quite sure it was for him to start with, but quickly...
