I don’t suppose for one moment that Ray’s use of his tongue is any different from other dogs however, given its size, it would be much more noticeable than on smaller dogs. Continue reading

The “Check” Routine.
When Ray adopted us back in March 2013 and subsequently moved in with us, he had a minor ear irritation which dictated administering a few drops of medication. The problem was resolved very quickly however, an insecure and reactive 75lb dog would not be my first choice of animal to work on (isn’t that why vets charge what they do???). Continue reading
Hey! How about dinner!
I understand that all dogs are routine oriented, and Ray certainly supports that apparent fact. He knows the daily routines and is much happier when his world performs as expected. There are occasions when we deliberately change our routines and Ray becomes confused. Continue reading
Something Fishy?
This Post was not planned as such (I usually write Posts a week in advance so I always have a small number “in the bank” if needed!) however, we do have a development regarding the incident (lack of!) with the bag of dog biscuits* which I thought should be noted as early as possible.

Ray has taken on the responsibility of washing our hands on a daily basis! He has done this in the past on isolated occasions and we just accepted it as a whim of the moment however, a regular washing routine started a couple of weeks ago. Continue reading
A trip to the Vets.
We will have to be taking Ray to NOAH* pretty soon as he will need a pre-heartworm prevention blood test and a general physical examination and, as it is our standard practice to take him there for “happy visits” prior to getting any medical attention from the staff, we duly made arrangements for a “happy visit”. Continue reading
The Night Shift!
Due to some ongoing sleep issues, I tend to wake up around 5:00am totally “wired”, so I boot up the computer and get some work done. As a result, I am usually in bed by 10:00pm however, Carol is usually awake for another hour or two and so gets Ray’s undivided attention! Continue reading
A New Direction Perhaps?
