As you may have seen over at @mummyconstant on Insta, we found out our Cockerspaniel, Snoopy, has dog diabetes this year? I have learnt so much about this over the last 6 months that I thought I would share this with my readers, as I really didn't think it was a thing! There's some tips and information on what the signs are and also how we have to deal with it to keep Snoopy happy and healthy. VIEW the POST
The average dog is a sentient bundle of energy. Most canines have ample energy to burn, and if they’re not properly exercised, they’re liable to act out in a variety of undesirable ways. So, if there are no dog parks or other suitable spots for your pooch to run around within easy driving distance of your home, you may want to consider converting your backyard into a fun-filled doggy play area. While it’s reasonable to assume that such an undertaking would require considerable financial resources, creating a cost-effective canine playground in your backyard should be well within your abilities.

Dogs and kids can give one another a great deal of joy. However, if you’re not monitoring the situation, things can get dangerous. Your dog needs the chance to get used to kids early and probably require a lot of monitoring. We were really lucky with our dogs as they are both very tolerant with the kids. I remember when Noah was a baby, he would pull clumps of hair from Rambo and he never battered an eyelid! It is really important to train your dog with the children.
Having a dog is like having an extra, four-legged member of the family. I wouldn't have it any other way. They bring their own personality and love into your home and are your constant companions through life. We always want to keep our dog happy and healthy. They also, however, bring their own set of needs as well. Every good dog owner wants to meet those needs as well as do whatever they can to promote the physical and mental wellness of their pet.

We have loved being at home with the cat and dogs during lockdown. It's nice as our Rambo (the Jack Russell) has developed a really close bond with Noah. He follows him everywhere and cleans him, like he's looking after him. It's so cute. We have been having fun with the dogs, using the training treats to get them to sit and give paw. The kids love it when the dogs do what they ask! VIEW the POST
I track my steps, my exercise and my daily activity. So why not track the dogs too. I have always wondered what they should be doing each day, for their size and age. So when we were asked to try out the PitPat activity monitor on the dogs I jumped for the chance. It is really simple to use – it took me 2 minutes to set it up using the PitPat app.
