Meet Scott the Dalmatian

For the past few weeks I've had the pleasure of training Scott, a young Dalmatian.
Now living with his second owners, he has had the good fortune to be wanted by people who decided to change his highly original name to Scott, from ........ you've guessed it, Spot.
But Scott is having to endure a summer from hell and he is  suffering. The reason ? He doesn't like rain !
I'm very pleased with the progress this young lad has made but as you can see from the top photograph, my idea of  a dog "sitting" aren't quite the same as Scott's - though I can forgive him on this occasion, given the very wet conditions just below his bottom !
Also staying with me at the moment is Olive, a small Terrier who loves being here. On arrival a couple of days ago, there was a summary glance and goodbye to her owner before running off to see who was about ..... and whether a certain Chihuahua still lived here !
Together, Honey and Olive are absolute magic. Playtime never seems to stop. If anyone should peer through the window they would see two very small dogs racing around the chairs and settee in my living room, desperately trying to catch each other !
A mad house?
Yes, at times, but it's always a fun house !!

Let me introduce you to Harry, an Italian Spinone. Harry arrived yesterday for a day's "try out", prior to any long term boarding. He's as gentle as he looks and those eyes .... ! Janet

Summer 2019 - sunshine and showers

How wonderful to see a dog express his enjoyment at being in water as much as Bear does. This youngster loved our muddy ditch and ran up and down constantly. But then came the washing and drying of Bear and the question "why did I allow him to do that ?!" Bear .............and then there was Murray ! Murray Heidi, a recent residential training youngster, loved to let off steam by jumping through the air for a tuft of grass. This Munsterlander was quite a sight, as her long legs allowed her to get quite a leap. Heidi Mick, enjoying some playtime in the heather ! Mick Bert is famous ..... well, in a way he is.
