Thanks to all those who have commented and contributed to the site. Slowly its growing. The 'Good dog, bad man' project is up and running in the link at Uni. So if you feel like contributing drop in and draw a panel.
Scary night - I thought I was going to get trapped over at Warrington - it is sleeting but not snowing yet and the road is open.
Many thanks to Jill and the Beagle Club for letting us attend on Sunday. I think she said it has been running for 20 yrs? About 10 or 12 dogs attended. Clearly the club provides excellent support for owners and is great socially for all. From what I can gather Beagles can be tricky - and the unsuspecting owner is likely to need some support and advice. But isn't that true of all dogs to varying degrees? As Jill said she would prefer to put off a potential owner with some honesty about the Beagle traits than have to rehome a dog later on. I feel like this about all potential new dog owners. Better they are presented with an honest perspective on the demands of dog ownership and decide not to get a dog than come to the realization, having taken the puppy home, that its not for them.
A couple of new topics for discussion. I am still thinking about things community. The other topic relates to diet. Do you think diet can effect a dogs behaviour? What are you feeding your dog? We feed T raw food and she seems to be thriving on it. She took a little while to adjust to all the bone and chomping - but is away now. Green tripe is a favourite - but dont get it on your hands!
