Happy holidays

Have a great holiday all my readers.

Here’s to 2012 – and health, happiness and lots of good humour.

Green and natural dogs

When we brought home a cute dog from the RSPCA we didn’t know what we were in for! Dash’s two favourite activities are to dig holes in the dirt and chase lizards, which is not so great for our garden. Although, she does loves ripping up boxes and cardboard which we then put in the compost.

Dash was a stray so she was pretty boney when we got her, but now she has put on some weight and is the normal range. She eats very well and  is on a mostly raw diet from The Complete Pet Company. I’ve recently added in yoghurt for the probiotics and coconut oil.

We’ve tried a number of different dog training techniques, but found attending dog training classes with IntaDOGZ were just what we needed. I also liked the following books:

• The Loved Dog – Tamar Geller
• The Power of Positive Dog Training – Pat Miller

Other good places to buy dog stuff are:

• Aussie Dog products – tough Australian made toys
• Greenpet Animal Naturopathy – sell great treats
• Vet’s All Natural – by Dr Bruce Syme

Please do not use tennis balls with your dog, as the yellow fluffy surface is not good for their teeth and gums.

I’m hoping to buy a Doog dog walking belt for Christmas, since I’m getting a little tired of always finding dog bags or treat crumbs in my pockets!
