After dinner we often have a yoghurt. As with most things in our home regarding Betty, she wasn’t allowed to have anything to do with them at fist. Then one day, someone allowed her to lick out the remains of the yoghurt. I then read somewhere that yoghurt is good for dogs, especially live yoghurt,… Continue reading Yoghurt Anyone?

Getting to Keep the Ball
So, my lot tried to teach me the game of ‘fetch’ at one point. Fetch. Really? I honestly can’t see the point of bringing a ball back to them, just so they can throw it away again. I like to play ‘keep’, it’s much more fun. When they throw the ball, pick it up, then… Continue reading Getting to Keep the Ball
Someone Else’s Ball
What’s better than having a ball? Having someone elses’s ball! Even when Betty isn’t in a ball carrying period, if any other dog has a ball then it is always of interest. This is especially true of dogs who’s owner gives them a treat when they return the ball. This last session of ball-doggieness was… Continue reading Someone Else’s Ball
Human Retrieve
Now this is a good one. I particularly like to play it with my male human. You sit near the edge of a bed or sofa with a toy – a soft toy works best. You play with it for a while until it falls over the edge onto the floor, then you look down… Continue reading Human Retrieve

The latest time started with her picking up stones for a couple of weeks and asking for them to be thrown, then, when I finally thought of bringing… Continue reading Ball On A Walk

Inverse retrieve
So, what do you think ‘inverse retrieve’ might be? Betty likes to play with her toys – she looks to be chewing them, but it’s often more of a lick. She often lays on the bed in the Bedroom I use as an office doing this and, as often as not, she gets closer and… Continue reading Inverse retrieve
The Move
It all started last March Mike and Linda had been running around for ages, putting things in boxes and taking lots of things away that I never saw again. For the previous two days, strange men had come to the house and had carried out furniture and boxes and loaded them into vans and then… Continue reading The Move
