At the moment we put all dog medical treatments through our company as they are down as working animals, although what work a Chug and a Pug would do on a smallholding I haven't quite worked out yet .... shhhh :-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-22477102876694116902014-09-05T17:58:07.463+01:002014-09-05T17:58:07.463+01:00Yes I do usually make my own bread and have some f...Yes I do usually make my own bread and have some flour and yeast in the cupboard, but to be honest I've been so busy recently I quickly got out of the habit. With LH at home all this week I thought I would buy some bread for convenience AND when there's homemade bread in the bread bin he does eat way too much of it .... not good for a diabetic. So it's bought bread while he's off.<br /><br />Once I am properly in the swing of having four dogs and life gets into some sort of routine again, home made bread will be all we have .... as long as I have time to monitor what my man is up too ;-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-71200458902501297102014-09-05T17:54:51.708+01:002014-09-05T17:54:51.708+01:00I didn't use to know what they looked like com...I didn't use to know what they looked like compared to Damsons but now I've seen them develop the difference is subtle but there!!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-11990665329974816662014-09-05T17:53:23.407+01:002014-09-05T17:53:23.407+01:00Ha ha ... ;-)Ha ha ... ;-)Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-65678369965267400302014-09-05T17:41:53.832+01:002014-09-05T17:41:53.832+01:00Glad you had a sloe day mine was busy, busy, busy ...Glad you had a sloe day mine was busy, busy, busy ;) ...........well it is Friday!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597069824333007603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-74346121150371991852014-09-05T15:20:40.928+01:002014-09-05T15:20:40.928+01:00Don't think I've ever seen sloes before. ...Don't think I've ever seen sloes before.

None of the supermarkets sell the brand that we need. I also buy wormers and flea/tick treatment online which is much cheaper than the vet or pet store. <br /><br />It is so easy to be tempted by offers and non-food items in the larger supermarkets! <br /><br />Charley is SO cute! Our dogs can be sitting beautifully but as soon as we reach for the camera they come rushing up to investigate.
