What a palaver this morning trying to get an excitable 40kg husky/malamute cross onto a vet table so they can do an ultrasound. Eventually a bit of sedation helped! All ends well and he is now back at...

@jpoesen always a sad and reflective time when you realise that your best friend is approaching his final walks with you. 15 is a great age for a dog though, I don't think any of mine has made it much...

Today's dog walk in between winter storms reminded me that spring is indeed just around the corner. This particular walk is only 100m lower in altitude than my house but I was surprised to see the whi...

@EA7KRC we don't bother. One of our two dogs is terrified of those utterly pointless fireworks that seem to go on longer and longer each year. Poor girl is shaking. We always stay home to look after h...

Sometimes the ways of the world get me down. Why oh why can't we just be nice to each other? But all that negativity disperses when I do the morning dog walk. Life isn't so bad after all is it? Have a...
