Shocks from dog
Why have I started getting an occasional shock when I go to clap the dog? Son gets it too but no-one else does. It's not drastic but it's slightly annoying and I wonder if the dog feels it too? He's in the back garden right now as the snow has fallen heavily and he's 'gone out to play' like an idiot. He's trying to dig out…

My puppy's stinky pumps!
I've got a border collie puppy who is almost 4 months old now and his pumps are absolutely rank! When I got him, he was on a mix of Eukanuba and tinned food, and I gradually weaned him onto just dry food, but that didn't help the wind problem. My other collie eats James Wellbeloved and does well on it, so I bought the…
