Bad books + good books + Food + exiting news

Well barley is in the bad books for chewing his bed (again) but this time to the point of no return and amount of sewing will make it a bed again, he complained last night when he did not have his bed and would not sleep all he wanted to do was curl up on the sofa which he is not allowed to do, he eventually settled down with lots of moaning and huffing and grumpy dog glances.

Well he is also in good books for training, we have started scent work with him and he is progressing well, he has good go's and bad goes but when he has a good go it is really good and he is a quick leaner but when he has a bad go he just cant be bothered, he is currently only working on one scent, toothpaste but will at some point start using a diffrent scent and using multiple scents on one go.

We have also finally found a solution to his allergies, it was all in a change of diet, we have changed him to a grain free dieat and he is doing very well on it and has completly stopped itching ( for now) hopefully this will be long term and once we have got rid of all of his food we should be moving to raw as he stopped itching on that as well.

Exiting news!
the descion has been made that next summer we will be getting a puppy for me to train as a SAR dog. the plan is that we should be getting a toller pup but no certainty of this yet it does just all depend on what pups are availible at the right time, what ever breed we get it will be a bitch, for barleys sake as he can be grumpy with male dogs and i really want a girl. I cant wait as we never had barley as a puppy puppy as we got him at 8 months old so did not have the little cute bundle of fluff causing mass destruction everywhere ( well barley done this anyway). This pup would be my own as braley is supposed to be a family dog but more like a me and daddy dog. We have not decided if we would get her spayed cause we might have one litter with her, but no descions have been made yet.
