Spud's being an absolute joy these past few days. Obviously like any puppy he's had his moments of being a little pest, but we're having no trouble with his basic training. Top of the list is house training, I really have no patience for dirty messes around the house. Fortunately even though Spud is only very young (9 weeks) he's doing remarkably well potty-wise. We've ...
The wait is finally over, and we picked up the little Spud this morning! Spud is most definitely the pick of the pups, but the entire litter is smashing. We very nearly ended up coming away with two of the devils. I tell you now, nine seven-week-old boxer pups running riot around your house looks like bloomin' great fun. Totally exhausting, but still great ...
Really proud of Noddy tonight, after a shaky start he did very well in the pool. When we arrived he seemed really apprehensive about getting in the water again, he was being very nervous and was dead reluctant to get wet. But again, once he was in he swam as if he was half Rebecca Adlington, and he didn't require as much encouragement. Noddy goes down a couple of steps and then stands on the third step when he gets in the pool, with the therapist holding on to him. Then ...

I mean, he went in but we had to practically carry him. The thing is, once he was in and swimming he seemed to enjoy it more than ever. No attempts to try and climb out, and his little nodule was nodulating at a tremendous speed powering him through the water. He did an extra lap this ...
Just recently Noddy's back legs have been giving him gyp. For an 11-year-old boxer he's incredibly spritely, but he had a bit of a tumble about a fortnight ago and he's been limping ever since. Not that it slowed him down much, even with the limp he was dragging me to the field and careering around like a lunatic for 20 minutes. But the limp wasn't getting any better. He was at the vets last week for his annual vaccinations and the vet didn't really sound all that positive. Got the ...
