Dogs Will Be Dogs
Apparently, one of the sniffer dogs went amok and ate a photographer’s sandwiches.
The World’s Bravest Cat
Pogo the cat tests the suitability of dogs for living with felines for the Dogs Trust.
There’s a video here on the BBC.
It’s a tough job, but someone’s got to do it.
Virgin Do It Right for the Dogs
Whilst waiting for the train, I noticed this at Coventry station.
Dog Water at Coventry
If only the rest of Coventry thought so much about visitors. After all, the city is just an hour from Euston and so would make an ideal day trip if the city got its act together. I’m sure Virgin would co-operate as there is plenty of space on the trains.
A Right Pair of Posers
I found a decent sized copy of this picture, stuffed in a drawer.
Charlotte and Daisy
Charlotte is behind the driving seat and her daughter, Daisy, is beside her.
The picture was taken on the drive at Debach probably about 1987 or so. I remember that I’d driven all round the centre of Ipswich with the two dogs sitting like that, but then English setters can be terrible posers. When I got home, I rushed inside and got the camera. Luckily they didn’t move.
The Basset Has Given Up on the Weather
She spent the whole of yesterday indoors and was only persuaded to venture outside for a few minutes.
This morning, she has just got up and reluctantly she went out of the front door for perhaps a minute. Now she is back on the rug in front of the sofa, wondering if she’ll try her luck. She didn’t and now she’s lying in front of the AGA.
Would You Like to be Rescued by a Chihuahua?
This seems to be a story that someone made up about a chihuahua being trained to be a police dog. But on reading it on the BBC, it appears that because of its size it can squeeze through small holes to find people trapped by earthquakes.
The only time I’ve seen small working dogs before, was in an airport in the United States, where the Beagle Brigade were sniffing passengers for illegal food imports.
How To Give a Pill to a Basset Hound
Of all the dogs we’ve had, we’ve never had one quite so easy to give a pill to as Lizzie, the basset hound! She usually just lies on her back and you drop it over her tongue and then stroke it down.
This perhaps wasn’t the best clip, so I’ll probably try to get a better one at a later date.
Bad Dog Owners
Some work done by I think the Metropolitan Police showed that if they stopped a car with no Road Tax, insurance or MOT, then there was a fifty percent chance that the occupants of the car were committing or had committed another non-motoring offence.
I wonder if similar research has been done into the owners of hard-looking dogs, when they walk around the streets, giving a message, that we don’t want to see!
I suspect, it would show similar results to the cars.
Lizzie’s Gluten Free Tins
It has just been pointed out to me that Lizzie’s tins of dog food are gluten-free.
Butcher's Gluten-Free Dog Food
Does Lizzie care?
I asked her and she didn’t answer!
A Spoilt Basset Hound
C would never allowed this and I generally don’t! But some of my guests invite my basset to misbehave!
