Summer exhorting

I've just got that photo from my friend Swieta - Przygoda (left back) and Flinta (left front) owner.

After Halloween, when days are getting shorter and shorter that's good summer remainder.

It was taken June 24, St.John's day and evokes old Slav tradition - summer invitation. On the St. John's Eve girls plaited garlands with flowers, sang and danced around bonfires on the river. After a sunset they have thrown garlands with candles in to the… Continue

A runaway

Has anyone been desperate, broken-hearted, hopeless, scared, miserable ... at the same time? This is how I felt last Sunday. We walked our three dogs in the nearby forest on a sunny and bright autumn day when the youngest setter girl 'Summer' (8 months) suddenly disappeared in a forest plantation area chasing deer. First we thought:"Ok, let us wait a bit, she is a hunting dog and finds her way back easily." We did not move, waited, whistled, shouted her name - but nothing happened. After 30… Continue

Poorly boy...

My young dog, who is only 2 years of age, has just started to have great difficulty 'wee-ing' over the weekend & has had to be catheterised 3 times now to empty his bladder. His urine isn't too acidic or alkaline, tests negative for blood, or crystals or bacteria, a little protein in there but not so much that it worries the vet. He is desperate to go to the loo but just manages a dribble or two.....in an older dog the vet says she would immediately suspect prostrate trouble but apparently… Continue
