Kelly, what a lovely tribute, to a wonderful dog. Alfie was very special I am so very sorry.

The two women on the tv are looking at Cherry and thinking - surely that cant be comfortable.

And you could put your phone number in it, so if he does get lost, someone can call you straight away.

Yesterday I found what Sally, my reactive dog hates most (so far). On our morning walk, I found she hated the sound of people scraping ice off their car windows - poor girl was very antsy over it, but we did manage to get to a safe distance where we did the 'look at the scary thing -look at me- get a treat', training, and she seemed to get it quite quickly.Then Horror of Horrors,someone had the cheek to get in their car and use their windscreen wipers to clear the ice. You know that noise it makes as it scrapes its way across the screen? Well apparently all wipers must die, when they do that! Sal completely freaked over it, and mixed from running towards, and running away from them. There was no safe distance this time. I think Southern Spain may have been her safe distance <sigh>. This morning she was the model of a well trained dog, and everything was lovely again. There were no evil ice and wipers battling.

Oh I like this thread. Last week when it was cold, wet, and windy, it took Sally 45 minutes to do her last poo of the night. I was not impressed. So, I've been teaching her to poo as quickly as she can when we go out. I am doing it by saying 'poo' when she goes, praising her, and giving her a liver treat when she has completed. Last night it took 2 minutes for her to poo without prompting, this morning she was similarly as quick, and she is definitely looking for the treat when she's finished. It is also making long walks easier knowing shes gone at home. I do like the 'shake' idea.

Great set of pictures. I love Wispa's attitude!

No matter what you looked like, I think you were marvellous. I bet the young lad was pleased you were there to help.

Yayyy to the giddy dance. Boggy

its starting at 9:45 i.e.now.

Anyone know anything about Wonderland : Seven pups for seven people? Its on BBC2 at 10pm tonight. The brief mentions that staffies are amongst the most frequently abandoned dogs, and the film follows seven pups looking for new owners.

Bella looks beautiful. She's landed on her paws. I look forward to the updates.

So very sorry Mel. Bob

Great news for Mollydog! Enjoy your weeny walk. Does it mean she doesn't need to be carried into the garden anymore? Sorry to hear about Nog, I do hope his legs heal without the need for more surgery.

Oh Victoria. Oh Mollydog Neither of you leave the house today. I hope both of you are feeling better soon.

So very sorry. Have a peaceful journey to the Bridge Ollie.

oh yes! I had somehow blocked him from my memory!

In the first 2 weeks I wanted her out, but then I got to like her and Brendan together. I'm wanting Ricky Groves out next.

You know when you are lying on the sofa, and your little kitten comes up and falls asleep on you chest,it is so very cute. Could someone please explain to Sally why its not the same with her: Firstly, she's not a kitten. Secondly, she's a dog. Thirdly, shes 27 kg of dog. Fourthly, she doesnt fit on my chest,no matter how many times she walks in circles over me. Fifthly,I cant breathe. Help!

If Sally is only part rockweiler, does that make her a Pebbleweiler?

I hope Pickle is home soon minus his onions.

Just looked at Tesco website, it has Bruno's tinned dog food 1.25kg for 18p a tin.(its rabbit only)

wow. great video, certainly makes the point.

A beautiful grey face. I fall for them every time.

Happy Birthday Henry.

Sending lots of 'come home Pixi' thoughts.
