I left you in suspense last week, I’ll continue the tale from where we left it. We had just climbed back in the car to go and find the vet, using the information from the man in the office of the Ministry of Agriculture. It only took us about fifteen…
I’d like to tell you about a rather strange day I had. It was when we were living in Spain, it was just a few days after we arrived there to be accurate. It was late on a Sunday evening when my paw suddenly swelled up. It was so large…
It’s fairly hot in the northern hemisphere at the moment and the prediction is for even hotter weather. I’ll be taking my main walk very early in the morning. I’ll then find myself a nice, cool spot indoors and snooze the day away. If I need to pop out during…
I explained in Total Recall that certain requests are open to various interpretations. Sometimes a request can evolve with time. This has happened with “sit”. It was the first request that I learnt as a puppy. My bipeds used it a lot when I was young to stop me doing…

I’ve been asked how people react to me when I’m out and about with my bipeds. When I go into town, or anywhere busy, with my bipeds, we don’t get anywhere quickly because lots of people want to ask my bipeds questions about me. Most people are very nice and…
I’m answering a Frequently Barked Question (FBQ) today. FBQ: Is it easy to train Pyrenean Mountain Dogs, or Great Pyrenees, to come when called? If trained well, will they have a reliable recall? Clowie: Well… I’ll begin by saying that I don’t know many Pyrenean Mountain Dogs who get let…
