An A to Z Guide to Fruits Dogs Can and Can’t Have (and everything in between)
Since we had that sultanas episode where Bowie accidentally ingested almost half a kilo of sultanas and went to have symptoms of kidney failure, I became aware of other (human) foods that dogs can and cannot have. I’ve compiled a comprehensive A to Z Guide to Fruits that Dogs Can and Can’t Have (and everything…

What should we feed our dogs? Raw vs Kibble
Almost every aspect of owning a dog has a debate about it. From how you train your dog to how you feed them, not everyone agrees. One of the most passionate debates out there is what you should feed your dog. My Labrador, Bowie had been on a kibble diet since he was a pup,…

Why a puppy for Christmas is not a good gift idea?
Whilst it seems such a great image in your mind and on those Christmas movie posters, it is in fact NOT such a good idea at all. Gifting a puppy on Christmas is definitely going to be a hit, and you’ll be guaranteed to be the most favourite mom/dad/aunt/uncle/boyfriend/girlfriend etc, but when Christmas is over…

Post Holiday Blues? Yes, dogs get them too.
After a month overseas, our holiday had finally and sadly came to an end. Whilst we were on holiday, Bowie was also on holiday, staying with his grandpa/ma at their 80 acre, river frontage property, where he would go swimming, free roaming and playing with his fur-mate everyday. What a bliss for a dog! Despite…

Is your dog as smart as you thought? Take a test.
For years, dog lovers have been saying that dogs are smarter than many people give them credit for.

Why having dogs in your life is the greatest gift of all
I never thought or expected that having animals (in my case, a dog) would enrich my life immensely – physically and emotionally. What began many thousands of years ago as a mutual-services contract between two very different species – humans and dogs – became something much more like love. What is love anyway? Love is…

One child (dog) syndrome
Bowie is my only pet dog and as first-time parent, I admit I’m over-protective at times and often spoil him. Bowie is such a social dog, to both humans and other dogs. We often take him to the parks and he’s made a lot of furry and non-furry friends. Though I’ve also been made aware…

When you have a pulling dog…
Oh how I wish there’s a quick remedy for pulling dogs but unfortunately there’s no easy way! Bowie pulled, and he’s a very STRONG and PERSISTENT puller as well. He’s so much better now and we started to (actually) enjoy walking him, rather than seeing it as a chore. There were times when I just…

Recently I’ve joined a Labrador forum and got talking with other Lab owners. It’s good to know that I’m not the only one who experiences ‘things you’ll only understand when you have a Labrador’. I’ve compiled my ‘Top 10 Favourites’: Last but not least – at number 10 – his smile just melts my heart…
