Hi, I have a 8st 11lb Rhodesian Ridgeback that I rescued Feb 2006. I have no knowledge of his first 3 years. He is perfect with people and small dogs, no threat to me or him, but with anything field spaniel size and upwards... well.. we suffer the same! I have learnt to be really firm, have taught h...

Not been on for a while, but look in and read. I echo Bingles sentament, can't spell it though!! Happy Christmas folks - life with the pooches DO get better!! xxx

For all those who know us and are interested!! We finally beat the credit crunch and moved into our new home on December 1st. Kato is settling in well - not quite as velcro now, but he's ok, and I'm really chuffed at how well he has done - all without the Rock Rose and the DAP!! He loves the garden ...

I'm still here. New job, dreadful hours, but hey ho!!
This is fab news you have and are doing such a good job... you both deserve a pat on the head and a large bonio!!!

Ah ok I see!
We are all in the same village, Mum, brother and the Outlaw ('cos we all love an Outlaw don't we peeps!!), so we are ok for familiar places and people.......

Thanks chaps, maybe a sleepova for one night at Nan's may be the answer as Kenneling is a no go zone - he was in one for over 6 months and I don't want any "flash backs"! Still early days, but I'm forward planning to try and do the best I can. The bed idea is good when we stay over at frie...

I know there is a thread on this site somewhere, but I can't find it! Sooo after over a year on the market we are in the process of selling/buying and I'm just wondering about how to make it easier for the ginger one. I remember about the smelly bed, (think it was Dober Princess) and the DAP, just a...

Work afternoons and evenings now and I don't have Sky!!! Sooo poor!!!

Have you been to the vet with him? , it may be an idea to have him looked over before you start on behavioural problems.

I'm with Ocelot and the Princess Doberpig! Me and my boy... well.. I get up first, at whatever time and I have to literally turf him out of bed, it doesn't matter what time it is. I know he's a lazy hound at the best of times.. I even have to drag for his morning walk!!
We are not morning animals!!

mmmmmm cheesecake....................................!!

Forgot to say the bubble and squeek is fried!!

Toad in the hole is sausages surrounded by a batter mix and cooked until the batter has risen ..........so yummy!! Bubble and squeek is left over cabbage and mash potatoes. Often had at breakfast in a "fry - up", often had , again with sausages....... I may now have to go off and cook one ...

I also have a rescue boy and yes the kennels were a little "economical" with certain things. Over time I have learnt who to avoid and who is ok. Staffs and Jacks no probs - collies, larger furries no way. Cats - I was told he was ok with... forget it, rabbits (indoor variety) great! Time w...
