I shall have to rename this beauty Curious George, because he loves to look at everything whilst out walking!! He loved having a groom too and stood so quietly and patiently enjoying being brushed and generally pampered! A big, stocky boy but so gentle and friendly. Big cuddles sweetie. Xx

Boo (Lou)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi, I have got a hi-viz coat for Honey (which I have to say she is ashamed to wear!) but it says quite clearly on it "nervous dog - please keep your dog away" it is as though she actually knows what it say!!!! I would also suggest carrying in your pocket (and I know it is difficult) but a plastic bottle full of water to throw over any dog that comes charging towards you. I have only met one dog owner who actually appreciated that Honey was petrified when a loose dog charges towards her and happily put his dog on a lead. You usually get the standard "my dog won't hurt your dog" - they seem to totally miss the point - my Honey is having major heart palpitations! I have started taking Honey to a mixed dog class with Sally Rapson in Sutton Coldfield on a Tuesday and she is getting a bit braver with a couple of very bouncy springer spaniels even when they are off lead doing recalls and I am hoping this will give her a bit more confidence to see that not all dogs off lead are going to charge at her - she has in the past had labradors charge at her and a dalmatian actually bit her behind after she had walked past him on the beach. It is very difficult to help them recover their confidence after incidents like that but over time she is getting a bit better.

Ripple (Edith)
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Woof,woof Ripple, love it. Sounds like you've got your slaves (whoops hoomans) wrapped round your paws. I do the same with the car, even got my slaves (whoops, hoomans) to buy a different car, but I'm still too much of a lady to jump in. Try this one Ripple, I lie on my bed looking at my Mommy with my big cute eyes. Then, start to rub your foot over your ears. Big tip, never break eye contact. My Mommy then comes and gives me ear rubs. If she stops I'll hook my foot over her arm so she gets the message and she rubs my ears again. Like you say Ripple, they're total suckers, but you gotta love 'em! Love Emily xxxxx
