Hanging with my buddy Chef who had a sore tooth but was still up for a smile!

Dental disease can be subtle, and Chef's owner had noticed some little changes to chewing and behaviour. After we examined and x-rayed the teeth, we were able to find a problem on the inner side of the tooth.

Since Chef uses her teeth a lot for play and training, she went to see the specialist who will be able to perform a root canal on the tooth and repair it. How good is that!

We welcomed four new babies and their mum yesterday thanks to who pulled her from Melton pound.

I couldn't get a great photo of mum as she's too damn friendly and won't sit still! Her babies are so sweet and she's doing a great job of caring for them.

Over the next few weeks we will build their confidence in handling, exposure to other cats and dogs, and trips in the car. Getting these guys ready for adoption is our goal!

Rescue for these sweeties wouldn't be possible without the amazing work do, so if you're in a position to donate, foster, or even just buy snacks from their frequent sales at Preston Bunnings, please do!

It's with a heavy heart, that we said goodbye to Herriot last week.

Words cannot thank this boy enough for the impact he made on my life. I got Herriot when I was 21, and we were incredibly lucky to spend nearly 15 years together. We moved out of home together, we went through vet school, first jobs, multiple home moves, and so many important life changes together.

He was the most patient and forgiving teacher, and his guidance has made me the trainer, vet behaviourist and dog owner I am today.

I will never be able to thank him enough for impacting the way I live my life daily.

Many of you would have known Herriot, and he was lucky to have made so many friends from various places over his life.

He spent almost every day at work with me, holidays away with friends, coming to my behaviour office, catching up with dog friends and training mates. There was never a dull day together, and as I look back on his long and happy life, I have few regrets. I suspect he had none.

It absolutely is heartbreaking to say goodbye, but I wanted to share some of my favourite moments of us together.

Thanks Herry.

So grateful for this amazing van set up that gets us out exploring the special places we love.

One significant challenge lots of folks deal with is how to manage extreme arousal in the car. And the worst part is, there's very little you can do when you're actually driving the car!

Having some kind of confinement like a crate where you can reduce visual access to the world going by is often the only thing that's needed. You don't need to spend a heap of money, a cheap second hand crate with a sheet over it might be all you need.

In my opinion, seat belts and harness suit only a small number of dogs, and are something I'd graduate a puppy to once they're already calm, rather than somewhere I'd start.

If you can set the expectation for a young pup that cars are for sleeping, then you're more likely to develop a relaxed fellow traveller! Dogs that are comfy in the car get to go more places, and that's what life is all about!
