Belle left us yesterday to go back to the kennels after staying with us for a few days. She is such a friendly girl, she settled in straightaway. She loves a lot of fuss & her tail wags all the time. She's dry overnight & loves her food, & everyone elses if she can get it. She'll be a fantastic pet for some lucky family. Val,Ray,Peg & Max.xxx

Hi Jen, Very sorry to hear about Dylan. I hope Cookie's pad heals up soon. I expect she is not too impressed with having to wear a boot! x

Hiya Mandy ... don't apologise, the more experience we can share (good or bad) the better 🙂 I don't feed any biscuits but do get my meat from TPMS .. I add a serving spoonfull of cooked brown rice or Quinoa and same of mashed raw veggies to each of mine's two daily feeds ... I reckon its a really healthy an dcheap way to feed dogs 🙂 Mine look great too 🙂 I once cooked tripe for one of mine when he was old and the neighbours came round to see if something was wrong/dying it smelt sssooooo awful LOL J x

Regardless Star is with us to stay, she is ignoring the cats like a pro, adores the kids, is my big grey Sams cuddle pal and we adooooore her xxxx Not sure when we can get to the kennels as with xmas and work following the flood we are tied up, but are hoping aunty Ruth will let us keep her as reserved until we can come in to do the paper work etc ?xxxxxx

Thanks Emma, we were going to look at the V70 but won't bother as my eldest is 17 and 6ft tall xxx I'm assuming your honda is the estate version, we had one a while ago so will go and have a look at them. Sam is 34kg and Stars not to far behind, she's a big girl ! Belle is little like my fluffy lurcher xxx Thank you for the offer, we can't do kingsbury as we are having lunch with santa, but if we are going to Datbreaks and need a test run we will get in touch xxx Thank you for your kind offer xxxx To be honest I have wrapped Stars xmas pressie......she won't be leaving us xxxxx

Hi sorry to butt in, I feed my three greys the raw food, and I can honestly say they are thriving on it. Admittedly it's digusting, but you do get used to the smell. Don't cook it, it will smell your house out. Its also very cheap .45p for a 1lb tube. The chap at this place told me, more raw meet less biscuits, which seems to be working just fine for my three. The place is called T.P.M.S. One of my greys is 26kg, just an example, I feed her half tube in the morning and half in the evening, with half cup of biscuits each meal. Hope this helps xxxxxxx

PS If you weigh how much goes into your cupful then check that to the back of the sack you'll see if you're feeding her enough. You should be able to see her last three ribs and she should have a layer of muscle along her spine with just a litte bit of spine showing about 3/4 down her back as it rises over her quarters ... if you can seemore spine and/or ribs then she needs more food. Don't forget it's cold too now and they haven't got an undercoat nor the layer of body fat that other breeds have so she'll need coats on when she goes out and - if your central heeting goes off at night, she'll also need a thick fleece to keep her warm at night ... like us -if she's cold she'll need more food.

Hi Sharon88 Please never ever give your dog cooked bones - raw bones don't splinter and cooked bones DO splinter and can cause problems... just think too ... when did you ever see a dog light a fire and cook its prey 🙂 they're made to eat raw meat ... oh and it doesn't make them savage either LOL Most people who fed raw say their dogs are much happier, more content and less hyper cos meat suits their tums 🙂 - mine certainly are 🙂 J xx

hi was looking on the sites about raw food. sound horrid i would have to cook it. gave them lambs liver from shops and cooked it and also some tripe icooked that as well had some mince in fridge left over and cooked that for them and some chicken. would they be able and enjoy it raw instead of me cooking it for them/ feel horrid if not cooked it. i even cook there bones from the butchers but jason told me just give them to them.

Hi Kate, thanks for your message - it's Dylan and sadly he has kidney failure and anaemia - so it isn't looking too good. He's nine now and survived the fits and suspected brain damage when he was a kitten so he's done well. Cookie is scared witless of him and she's also not well as she's scuffed one of her pads. Thanks to Ruth she has a fetching little boot to wear!
