Ted, who is nearly one year old, was a very smelly schnoodle before I bathed him. Rolling in anything disgusting is Ted’s favourite pastime. Woody thankfully doesn’t share his delight and resists the temptation. Bathing to Ted is not a chore, he really enjoys it and he especially enjoys being dried by the hairdryer.
I am pleased to say Ted the smelly schnoodle is no longer smelly, he is giving off soapy vapours and the house no longer stinks of smelly dog, bliss. Oh how I love that puppy Ted.

Ted and Woody have had a busy day today. They had a long stroll in the sunshine with their human Mummy. They had an appointment at the groomers, both came out looking so handsome and then off to the vets for Ted’s micro-chipping and flea treatment. Finally they both went out for an evening stroll with their neighbour, Lou the beagle and his human parents. Needless to say they are both exhausted now….poor tired schnoodles.

Dog feeding
Owning a dog, from a cost perspective, does not just involve the initial purchase, there are many cost implications throughout the dog’s lifetime.
Firstly you need to establish a feeding routine for your dog and find a food that satisfies your budget and your dog’s nutrient requirements.
Where do you start…..discussing various food options with your vet is a good place to begin. Another very good place to seek advice is your local pet store, many of the larger chains have an expert to hand who has been sent on pet nutrition courses. Read the rest of this entry »

Woody the Schnoodle - A Grass Muncher
My Schnoodle, Woody, had me up twice in the night, once at 1.00am and then at 3.00am. He never gets us up so I knew he must be feeling unwell or something else was a sign that all was not well.
When I got downstairs he needed to go out in the garden immediately, he was looking for grass but we don’t have any in our backyard and I was not about to go out to the cricket pitch out the front of my house, dressed in my nightwear like ‘wee willy winkie’ scaring all the neighbourhood.
