Enrichment top-tip.
Ideally on a grassed area.

Take a handful of kibble
Throw it in the air
Sit back and watch

(That's my Nimue and Talisker at our weekly play-group)

The downside of puppy ownership.
HP Lovecraft's Necronomicon has been, erm, edited by Nimue, and is now more of an Nomnomicon.
Butter, on the other hand, wouldn't melt.


ETA: Do we have to keep an eye out for demonic possession now? How would we tell the difference?

My boy Rascal. 4 tomorrow. He's a BC from working parents in Abergele. He's woken up with a paw like a golf club. Vets it is. Which explains my sunny disposition today. (worried about him not the vets bill)

Good luck - was he in pain?

Thank you, yeah not weight bearing at all. Feeling very sorry for himself. In the vets at one, so fingers crossed it's the equivalent of a dog sports injury.

My dog's had that a few times - then you get to the vet and she starts walking normally after hopping around all day
Fickle beasts!

Also had it before when it was a grass seed in between the paw pads

Hope everything's ok at the vets
