Freya has been family for 1 year 3

This entry was posted in Dogs Family Pets and tagged dog Dogs Trust Evesham Freya Woof rescue dog The Dogs Trust on

Our silly but adorable Freya came to live with us one year ago. During that time she’s also moved into our hearts, not just our house. Rather than asking “How are Jen and D?” if I’ve been out, it will be “How are my boys and Freya?” I would be so lost without her now, she is like a third child. She still has her quirks, but she has obvious strong points too. She has learnt to play. She knows children are more easily hurt and plays differently with them, slower and cautious but not frightened. She let’s me wash her with little drama, she still bites the flea comb afterwards though.

Upcycling and wombling 2

Oh I love to womble, to collect things others bin or dump that could be useful. For example when there is a jacket left in the park and it’s soaking and muddy I will take it home to wash it then it goes in our charity bag. If I don’t the council “street cleansing team” will bag it and bin it. I hate pointless waste I really do. When charity bin bags get thrown into a road and get all muddy and run over, I lug that lot home and pop it to a charity of my choosing. My son D calls it stealing, but abandoned things are destined just for landfill. Well this afternoon I was pleasantly surprised to see an abandoned dog crate on a pavement nearby with other scrap metal.

A rescue dog saved my life 5

Yes, a mistreated abused dog I saved returned the favour and saved me. I figure it’s time to tell you all about Ben the dog. I was quite young, I would say junior school age. I noticed a neighbour had a new dog, a small puppy with a curly tail, but he was bought as a gift by the Dad of the house for the very pregnant Mum of the house. The Mum already had her hands full with a small and unruly daughter. Ben was losing weight as the Mums’ priorities were elsewhere rather than feeding and looking after this needy pup she had been given. It was a burden she didn’t want or ask for, I understand that. What I can’t deal with is the abuse from the daughter. I saw her kick Ben. I saw her tie him in a plastic carrier bag and swing him over […]

Wagg moist meaty chunks – review 3

Freya Woof is a lucky little hound. She is one of the first Waggers in the country to try Wagg’s new dog food. It hits the shops from tomorrow. She loves Wagg food and treats but sometimes gets bored and fancies a change so we have been mixing her normal dry Wagg food with half a tin or carton of wet dog foods for a month or two. So what will Freya think of this new munch?

Rescue dogs are not evil 11

The last few months I have seen so much negativity regarding rescued dogs, in particular it seems to be frowned on if you have children. Just look at the comments underneath online newspaper stories about dogs. Well I have a rescued dog, Freya, and I have two children. I am such a bad parent for this, allegedly. I do not understand why people brand all rehomed dogs that have had a bad start as bad dogs. They are not. Some are, most aren’t, but like people you do occasionally get lunatics.

Do you have a dog? Well keep reading as you can win them some premium munch right here. Lily’s Kitchen is a range of cat and dog food and treats. Freya had the Bed time biscuits recently and she liked these, I am still unconvinced whether it helped her sleep but she certainly liked getting a biscuit each night after her last garden “pit stop” of the evening. PetShop got in touch and asked if I’d like to giveaway some Lily’s dog food to one of my dog loving readers. So here goes! Lily’s food is not cheap, and this 7.5 KG bag is normally £54.99, but it will be free to one lucky reader. Why we like PetShop, they use recycled cardboard for the deliveries to your door. They have a lot of choice, and some items are on great offers. Delivery is free on orders of over £19.99 […]

PetShopBowl – a review 5

This entry was posted in Dogs Pets Rabbits Reviews on

Pet Shop Bowl recently sent me a parcel for the fluffy residents of my home. For the little critters (Bart, Mo, and Patch the rabbits, and Harry the guinea pig.) Hay – All little herbivore rodents should have hay. My Patch is a strange old guy and prefers to eats paper and straw, he doesn’t like hay. But then we all know a child that will not eat green vegetables. Patch is jolly old though at 10 or 11 years old now, I wouldn’t recommend paper and straw as a diet, but it’s not stunted his life expectancy. When we bought Patch we were told his breed of bunnies live around 6 years, hmmmmmm.
