Tom cats

Our foster dog Tia :)
Today we went on a group walk organised by a sled dog rescue. The total count was 152 people and 101 dogs. It was an awesome walk, my two have done nothing but sleep since. We went to collect our temporary foster, Tia. She's 4 and has been used as a breeding machine. The rescue needed a fosterer urgently so we've got her…

The things we do for love

anti barking sensors for dogs - do they work?
Have a yappy dog next door who could bark for 4 hrs at a time before neighbours would think about taking it inside. Thinking about getting one of those anti barking dog sensors that give out some sort of signal/high pithced noise that supposedly stops them barking.
