    Your Dogs Name: Why You Chose The Dog Name You Did

    Misha - just a name my husband always liked and she was named as we drove back in the car... Ben - we were not planning to keep him (he was a stray) and I thought if I called him Ben he would respond well to a new Spanish owner (ven aqui = come here).

    Any Airedale puppy owners?

    Aww, thanks Grammy!! Very true about owners and breeders!! I also think Airedales also can get nippy if they get bored, and they certainly like to show their teeth a lot - sometimes I feel like we live with a crocodile, lol. My sister has one living next door to her in the UK and it just...

    Any Airedale puppy owners?

    Congratulations on getting your Airedale! I agree with everything you've said, they can be hard work, but wonderful too - I don't don't know what we would do without our girl....unfortunately in Spain I've only met one other Airedale owner - thank goodness for the internet!

    Which Book

    A Clockwork Orange is my vote - I studied both book and film at uni although I've not seen the whole film version as it was withdrawn in the UK at the time.

    De-worming for dogs

    I put tablets into the center of a cream cheese triangle - she is too busy wolfing it down to think about what's in it - not sure if that would work with every dog, but best thing I have found.

    Milk Thistle for liver disease in dogs?

    Hi Barb, Misha doesn't have any problems with her liver, but I give her milk thistle before and after I give her any meds (like Heart Guard for instance) to try and help her liver process all the poisons. I did a lot of reading before I started using it which suggested it helps the liver...

    Fleas! Curse them!

    We use a dog shampoo which has a mild amount of tea tree in - and it seems to wipe them out - but flees only seem to make an appearance in spring here. I wash the bedding in a hot wash....kill all those little eggs - yukk!!

    How to start your own business?

    We set up our own business and we don't have a shop - the internet is our shop front -so we've managed start up with very little overheads. Because of this scenario we have spent our money on a good web design and more importantly optimisation - trying to get our website at the top of the...

    Question (Morals)

    This has been and interesting thread - I've been away too long and missed the meaty discussions!! For me sex is not just about the body - it's all about the mind too - and I wanted to be sure I could share both physical and mental intimacy with someone on a really deep level before I agreed to...

    Right now you'll be saying "never again" but you know you will (the drinking I'm mean, not the vomiting!) Anyway, hope you feel better soon, I can't take drink anymore so I know how you feel!

    Air Travel and Dogs

    I couldn't do it, although it is an option for us to get back to the UK. I'd rather go by ferry where at least I can go and visit her during the trip. But for some people that is not an option and at least it means dogs don't have to be seperated for a long time from their owners by being left...

    What type of water do you give your dog?

    Tap water, although given half the chance she will drink swimming pool water or even sea water - crazy girl. We only drink bottled but water straight from the tap seems fine for her.
