Ellie-May
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I cooked pasta, mashed potato, veggies and gravy at home this morning and took it to the kennels to add to their dinners - they all loved it..... except poor Ellie-May. She is not eating well and our hearts are breaking for her. Unfortunately with 3 trust dogs already at mine, and Maggie still poorly, I am unable to take an extra home. I hope she finds a home soon x

It was absolutely too dangerous to walk the dogs today - we had 2 walkers fall over so we spent the day cuddling the dogs and they all had a big bone. Billy stood with his head laid across my shoulder and absolutely loved just being stroked and talked to. He is a lovely boy and such a gentle soul x

Hi Sara I tried to post this yesterday but its vanished 🙁 You've got loads of good advice to give and I always think experience is the best teacher, I totally agree with you that a nicely tired dog is usually a well behaved dog 🙂 If anyone doesn't agree they can have my lurcher Charlie for a couple fo days and see how norty he is when he hasn't been getting his usual daily rampage round the woods ... its too dark when I finish work and he won't go far from me when we're at the horses' field .. I think he's scared but he says he's protecting me LOL . J xx

Hi Yes that's fine, we finish this Saturday and start again on Saturday the 8th so give me a call next week if you like .. we're doing a walk on Tuesday 28th round the woods just outside Hockley Heath which always ends up at the pub so you'd be welcome to come to that and meet us before you start at class 🙂 (weather permitting 🙁 ) J xx

Poor Barney, unfortunately the person who reserved him has not been back in touch despite me leaving many messages and would therefore appear does not want him any more.....

Hi guys, thanks for all the wise words, it is lovely to see them play but you can tell when Pip has had enough as he gives you 'puppy dog eyes please can you get her off now'! So we help him out a little bit as he is tiny compared to Molls! We will pop in and get some odds and sods tomorrow when we do the rehoming and will be looking forward to seeing the other greys at the walk at Kingsbury on Sun xx Will ring you Julie next week to set up training if that's okay?

My Sadie girl was the same age as Mollie when we had her and she can be a little torment! She loves to play, and whilst she has definitely calmed down, she is still the ringleader when anything kicks off! She will goad the others, especially Kev (he falls for it everytime) into chasing her, and then it all gets a bit mad with 3 whirling dervishes causing havoc in my living room! So, whilst it's lovely to see them play and get animated once in a while, mine have certainly been taught "ENUFFFFF!" And yes Sara is right, exercise is key - a tired dog is a good dog! xxx

How lovely that Joe is settling into his new home! With regards to travelling, our Mr Kev has never been a happy bunny in the car or van, but something totally unexpected happened after we took him to one of Julie's T-Touch workshops. The workshop was all about fireworks and he was stressing for England when the CD was playing, but he calmed down with the T-touches and when the workshop finished, without any hesitation he jumped straight into the car afterwards and lay straight down - result!

You can also start by making the car a really nice place to be .. if possible start by getting him in the car with some nice treats and let him hop in and out, don't go anywhere, next -when he's very settled doing that, let him go in for nice treats and start the engine (tho watch where the exhaust is blowing as that can spook them) and let him go in and out. Next- let him in, shut the door- go nowhere, shut the door (with him in a crate like Tracey said) go round the block, when he's really settled (has he got a soft bed in the car to be very compfortable?) go somewhere a bit further away (not the vet, to a country walk or similar) and so on .. if he get worried go back a step and don't force him .. like Tracey said they aren't used to seeing what's around them so that can frighten them. Best wishes Julie x
