She doesn't seem ill, and is still running around and begging for food (as is usual) - he just gave her one prawn and she threw it up two minutes later. I will take her to the vet…

Bilingual dog: English and Polish
This is amazing! The dog in question was thought to be deaf as he didn't understand basic commands. Then it was realised that he came from a Polish family, and that he didn't "speak" English. He knew the commands in Polish though. Now he knows both. clicky

I've just got a new pup and can't find a name that suits her! She's a small lurcher, blue eyed and a very odd cream/blue merle colour.

Cats eating elsewhere?
We have three 8 month old cats who are now fairly independent and go in and out of the house whenever they want. However I think they're being fed somewhere else.

My puppy is 12 weeks and over the last few days he's started acting really oddly towards his food. He has James Wellbeloved, he's been on that for about 2 weeks now and I know he likes it.
