So I brought this little beauty home for a little bit after our walk, and I was reminded of why I wash her off after our walks, even though with her sable good looks you can never see any mud, This is her drying herself off on my sofa, which is pretty dark (with washable covers!), her owners sofa is cream!

Beautiful day today, like many this week, the wet but mild weather has brought the grass back, the fungi are blooming, and the smells of the woods are gorgeous. Unfortunately the moisture has also brought back the ticks. I had to remove two from a dog last week, I carry a tick twister at all times, as getting them out quickly and safely is essential to avoid the spread of disease to your dog. If you aren’t familiar with them, it can be a little daunting at first, so here is the dogs trust tick info page.

Our top tips on what to do when your dog has a tick.

Got to get comfy, it’s time to sit by the window and grumble at the squirrels.

Had some lovely walks today, including one with this big bubbly beastie. He loves his ball too, but he doesn’t only like to chase it. He is also very keen on its utility as a massage aid.

I attended an amazing course on today. Complete with dog CPR mannequin (CPR doggiequin?) and lots of doggy soft toys to practice our bandaging on. Thank you Jane Chapman at Dog First Aid South Yorkshire.

So I walk a couple of dogs that I think you could describe as ‘ball dogs’. Dogs that both love a ball, and actually hold on to it and bring it back for repeated launches (we’ve still lost quite a few, but I take my fair share of blame for the poor throwing skills I have been known to demonstrate).

This little beauty is a particularly focussed ball dog, if ball is not provided she will source sticks, and she can’t be trusted with them. As a result I bring a ball every time, and her adorable tippy tappy feet insist that I throw it repeatedly.

So this is my pooch trying her absolute hardest to prove that she really is as big as her walking companion. He isn’t any bigger, honestly, and she has never even heard of ‘forced perspective’ and how dare you suggest that she is actually really small and not a big dog at all. (Actual size in second image.)
