Doggy day care in the car?
Dog sitting parent is going away for a week. She did tell me and I promptly forgot. This means I have booked in work commitments which make dropping Gitdog off at the kennels each day difficult as the pick up and drop off times are outside their usual times. So my cunning plan is to take him to work with me. He'll have to…

New puppy advice with an older dog
Firstly Lola the 4 month old Giant Schnauzer is at puppy class, and I'll ask the question there as well, but thought I'd ask the good pet people on MSE. Besides Lola, is a 15 year old terrier type who after a bad start in life, keeps much to herself and away from the rest of us. Then there is Heidi, 6, who is at the bottom…

Kitten on work top - hot hob!
We adopted two kittens at the weekend (love them to bits already). However one of them decided last night that he was getting on top of the work top. Unfortunately we'd been using the hob.

Thundershirt for dogs scared of fireworks
Does anyone use these? My dog is petrified of fireworks, but I've looked up the cost for this coat and it's £35 which is fine if it actually works. Just looks like an ordinary coat to me. The pills don't seem to have any effect on my dog.
