End of year courses plus "Best Dog and Owner" awards
Hi Folks,To bring me in line with Christmas I will be running two 7-week courses starting on friday 11th September. This course will run to 23rd October whereupon the next course will run consecutively from Friday 30th October finishing on 11th December.There will be a "walking Out" morning on each course plus an autumn ramble, dates to be decided.Unfortunately I will only be running one class over the two courses which will be 1pm-2pm every Friday afternoon. Should I have a lot of interest for this class I will (when the weather obliges) run some of the classes outside to incorporate greater space.The outside classes will be held in Chestnut Avenue park.I may increase my classes after Christmas...

Last "Walking Out" morning before summer break and curry evening at the Black Horse

I have ordered lovely weather to accomodate our walk so don't miss this event!Also on our calender is a curry evening at the Black Horse pub where we have been invited by Nick whose family own the establishment. We will be at the back of the premises where there are a number of small marquees and it is a "semi cook your own kind of meal" although Nick will be on hand to help us. This is planned after our last lesson on Friday 10th July from 8:30pm onwards. Apparently, we will allowed to bring our dogs which will be a complete hoot!! (I will get that confirmed).Lets make...

Winter Ramble Pictures
Great turn out for todays winter ramble and I'm pleased to say that the weather was very kind to us and it hardly snowed at all. The 9 dogs all had a terrific time and I've got to say that I haven't heard a peep out of Minnie for the rest of the day.No injuries to report although I managed to catch Trish as she vaulted over a stile and David decided to toboggan down the hill side without using a toboggan. Theres no shame in that David but I have to say that none of the ladies suffered any similar mishaps!?!Anyway,StixnBones Dog Club all wrapped up and raring to goNot everyone had to walkHill 1 and Trish head down and determined"Diva" pulling Hazel up the hill, why didn't I think of that!May...

Treatment of Poisoning
The signs of poisoning vary depending on what poison has been swallowed. However, the common signs are:Vomiting/retchingViolent twitchingCollapseShould your dog appear to have any of the above, straight to the vets without delay and ALSO, very importantly bring any of the poison with you to the vets so it can be examined and then the correct form of treatment can be administered.Do not induce vomiting if you suspect that that barbiturates, kerosene or any corrosive has been swallowed, or if the dog is convulsing. I would add that recent poison laid down around the Ruislip area would be considered as corrosive (anti-freeze). If you suspect any illness to your dog, play safe and straight to the...

***ATTENTION NEEDED***(Update)
Ruislip Woods has had someone apparently putting down meat laced with anti-freeze. Please take every precaution with your dogs particularly just off the main paths. See anything or anyone suspicious......report it!Our phantom meat marinader has been active again, this time by Links Way Northwood. As you enter the path from Links Way and turn right to go up the sandy path towards Ducks Hill contaminated meat has been found nestling the edge of the paths.This is in my walk zone so I shall certainly be very active in observing all those around me and paying attention to my dogs.Please read my article about dealing with Poison...
