25 August. V-Day for Scooby. The day on which his annual booster and anti-rabies jabs are due. Strangely, he doesn’t mind visiting the vet, never has done, even in England.
A fifteen minute ride in the van and we’re outside the vet, he’s pulling at his lead, eager to get inside. He behaves himself despite all [...]
No, not the British boxer but a stray dog I picked up a few days ago.
Bruno was living rough just down the road. I’d already passed him a few times and, having seen the condition he was in when I took him some food and water, I decided to take him off the streets with [...]
ThickBox is a WordPress plugin that adds the lightbox functionality to images in your posts. You can download it from the WordPress site. I found a little hack was necessary to get it to work as I didn’t fully understand the instructions provided on the author’s website.

Having been in the house for almost a year I finally gave in and decided it was time to get another dog!
APAH, the animal rescue centre that I work with had recently taken in a Fox/Yorkshire terrier cross and when I saw his photograph I had to go and see him.

OK, so it’s a little late but Scooby was 11 years old on 30th November and I’m only now getting around to posting Birthday wishes to him on my blog. Not that he’d mind of course as he doesn’t have access to the internet, and can’t type, or read, or know what a Birthday is so [...]
Bought Scooby a paddling pool last weekend to help keep him cool during the summer (and to try and keep him out of the pool!). Today was the first opportunity he’s had to try it out but he didn’t seem too keen, probably because he can’t swim in it. No pleasing some dogs is there?
There [...]
Had hours of fun thinking of titles for this post (well, several minutes anyway). Some of the others I came up with are Soggy Doggy, Jet2, Wet Jet and Wet Pet Jet but finally plumped for Jet Wash.
After two days of anti-tick spray and playing in the dirt it was time to give Jet her [...]
I found Jet this morning whilst on the way to APAH. She is thought to be a Pointer cross aged around four months.
She was wandering in the middle of the road in the countryside between Torremendo and Pilar de la Horadada and I saw her nearly get hit by two cars. I stopped, went back and luckily managed [...]
I have received the following email from one of the volunteers at APAH, an animal rescue centre on the Costa Blanca:
Galgos (Spanish Greyhounds) ‘come to the rescue centre covered in burn marks, with slashes across their necks where someone has tried to cut their throat, with broken legs and with red-raw rings around their neck where [...]
