Freddie is a great dog. Spent a few weeks with him decorating the outside of his house. He’d calmed down a lot.

Just popped over to your site – your staffies are gorgeous.

I have two pear eating staffies who can spend hours staring up at the tree willing a pear to drop. I am fine with the pears but one of them has now started picking blackberries. Each day has become a race to see who can get to the bush first - me to add them to the collection for blackberry vodka or him as a 'starter' to his breakfast. I at the stage where anything up to about 2 1/2 feet up is his, the rest are mine. lol. I love this article, it really made me chuckle.

Our Golden Retriever, ROX, has already consumed my hypertension tablets (aged six months) and some fairtrade 80% dark chocolate (12 months). She is just two now and two emergent occasions and two lots of very expensive Vets fees later; she is full of life and she is an absolute joy. Whatever the cost, Rox is absolutely worth every penny. What an uncompromising joy dogs are to a human environment. She seems to be a discerning goldie; not too keen on mice, birds, etc but the finer things in life (Fairtrade variety only!) is her passion. That and, of course, constant strokes and cuddles. Its my daughter's and I first venture into Retrivers after a mixed cross and a German Shepherd. It has been a canine revolution. A huge intake of breath when I read your posting.
