My family dog when I was growing up did this! No training at all, she just really liked to sing. It meant she had to go in a different room, or piano practice was impossible

May I ask what harness Muppy uses? I'm just starting canicross with my standard dachshund cross, and finding a harness for a long boy can be tricky

We don't use flat sheets in the UK (there are a few weirdos, but we don't talk about them)!

The change in colour looks like a pavement and then past the seam is a road. That might not be what it actually is, but I can totally see why Marigold thought it was

Odie's on apaquil, and that's made a massive difference to how often he gets an ear infection, combined with ear cleaning. He also has recicort drops which go in his ears once a week after they've been cleaned, which seems to help too

My dog gets recurring ear infections. A couple of basic questions, so sorry if you've been asked these a ton of times - is he on allergy medication, and do you have an ear cleaning routine for him?

Make it a regular part of your engagement with your team (e.g. once a month as part of line management) to ask them for feedback, and listen to & reflect on what they say. Let them see you being thoughtful, and acknowledge when there are things you're trying to do differently

You'll be amazing, you've been such a huge help to me and Odie. I would hire you in a second if we were closer, and Odie would love your classes!

I think he's a little confused tbh! Particularly because Odie's still shy, so leaves it about 5m from the fence. But I think my neighbour appreciates the gesture

HELLO BINE! Odie had a bit of the rubbish morning at the vet, but we've been working on him not woofing at my neighbour, and Odie's started bringing him a Kong as a gift!

I have a dog who likes a puzzle, and his treat of choice on walks is a tennis ball launcher full of cream cheese. It started out as a necessity because he has allergies, but I think he really likes the challenge of getting at the cheese
