Information Matthew M. would like to know about your pet

The main thing id like to know is your dogs likes and dislikes. How they are with other animals. Foods/treats allowed/not allowed Any special requirements you'd like me to be aware of.

A typical day

We have a large field at the back which is our usual morning start before a cup of tea. Then a short distance past the field is a wooded area which the dogs love to explore, sometimes chasing the deers / muntjac deers🦌 if they see them before me! One of my dogs isnt interested in toys as shes getting older. However Dotty has a toy box and she likes to empty it often for her fave toys. Usually balls. However shes terrible at bringing them back! 🤣 Ive also just installed a downstairs shower for the wetter and dirtier days so they can have a wash if a bit too mucky! My dogs love when its time to cook tea and often assist with eating the chopped carrots or cucumber before it goes in the dish!
