Urgh, I've had the stinky dogs in my time, for me its fox shit, you cant beat
it!! You are meant to bath a dog when its been int he sea as the salt can
irritate the skin.

Had a run in a park one day with what I learned to be a big sedentary pond
full of algae and rubbish. So stinky green covered dog and I crossed the road
walked about 5 minutes and into the sea for a swim. Sat drying out for a while
then bus back. Much easier to brush sand/salt out instead of stinky algae.
Not a great experience but nothing I could do once it happened, better him
than me. Not gone near the pond again needless to say. He is not happy dirty
though, not one of those dogs who has ever rolled in poo. He even avoids
puddles whenever he can, which is great for me.

hi vince
i like to take callie to quiet places too for a free run. the place i used
to bring her to is all enclosed but it's always really muddy and o ya full of
sticks which she likes to eat and i don't enjoy cleaning up dog sick. i found
another relitively stick free place which is also enclosed. there is a pond
there though which gets really muddy after the rain. the first time we took her
there she jumped in to the pond and needed a bath. so going to wait until the
weather improves before bringing her there again.

Sorry if this is a repeat, but I can't follow what just happened with my

Zym doesn't get free runs half often enough, and I don't have anyone
around to assist me with it at the moment.
But all is not lost, because I can let him run around on a long
flexi-lead. It's not ideal, but it's better than nothing. Now he's got the hang
of it, he realises he can run about and sniff and do what dogs do; all except
running off in search of discarded takeaway packages! or malt loaves, wrapping
and all, which allegedly he managed to steal on one occasion. I was ready for
that to be a serious issue, but he hasn't shown any ill-effects.
I know one place where it's pretty safe to let him go, but it's about 4
miles away, and not on a bus route as far as I know. It's a park well away from
roads, and with enough space to play with his ball or some other toy. Usually
deserted, too, so he can't bother picnickers, kids with footballs or other
dogs, which he might do in more crowded parks. I might try to get to this place
once we've stopped having all these storms, which assuredly doesn't help
anyone. Beautiful day here today, but it's started raining now, and no doubt
won't know when to stop.
Vince.

Hi I was told at least once a week for Pearl but due to the weather and
not
having anyone to go with very often she doesn't have that many.
Debbie and Pearl
