Parcels & Parasites

This week has been all about receiving deliveries; another raw food order for the hounds, the ultrasonic toothbrush has arrived, plus the new telescopic dog ramp (as mentioned in a previous blog!).  Fortunately, the deliveries have been made while I've been at home...

Itchy & Scratchy

This week has been all about the itching and scratching for one reason or another. I've made the title photo of this blog our Daisy Basset as she was incredibly itchy and scratchy when she first came to stay with us permanently, thankfully not anymore.  It...

Shuffling The Pack

Well where to start about this week, it's been a little fraught for one reason or another and to be completely honest, I'm finding it hard to be positive about it at all.  Still it is almost over thankfully. All I will say is that where a pack of dogs is...

Heaving The Hounds Round Hever Castle

Early Sunday morning, up with the birds again, pile the hounds into the Furry Dogmobile.......destination - Hever Castle for Castle Canines. Protests from Mr Furry about why we can't ever have a lazy Sunday like everyone else.  Not in this house sunshine! ...

A Houseful Of Hounds

Well I'm not going to even mention the weather although being British we do love to talk about it don't we?  We seem to be having alternate sunny days followed by a monsoon but then it is the school Summer holidays so what do we expect?  I said I wasn't...

Release The Hounds

I was very lucky to have a rare day off on Friday to celebrate my Birthday and even though the predicted forecast looked awful, the sun shone for me.  Me and Mr Furry decided to take the hounds to Sheffield Park Gardens near The Bluebell Railway which is part of...

Thunderbolts, Birthdays & Bassets

I spoke too soon about my wardrobe choices and the weather didn't I?  I got very caught out on Wednesday's group walk in my shorts! Ah well, never mind, the gardens needed it (isn't that what they say?). Again, the dogs never seem to mind what is happening with...

New Balls Please!

Well here we are in the throes of Wimbledon and I'm thinking of signing Peach Basset up for next year's round of Ball Girls.  That dog has found 3 tennis balls this week and she finds them in the deepest of undergrowth which are completely invisible to anybody...

Holidays Are Coming

So, with what seems like a blink of an eye, another week is almost over.  I remember as a child how it seemed to take forever for the Summer Holidays to arrive but here we are, with just a couple of weeks before my least favourite time of the year, the 6 week’s...

A Doggie Day Out

Early Saturday morning, the weather can't seem to make up its mind, so a typical July weekend in Britain then?  Off we set to Stansted Park in Havant for the Summer Paws in the Park show. Not great planning with the Goodwood Festival of Speed on and we need to...
