They say the English are eccentric dog lovers and here is proof: the new Lord of the Manor of Plumpton has a pedigree many would envy. But Lord Woof is a bit different to most aristocrats. His original name is Dylan, and his family bought the title for him! Dylan is a handsome German Shepherd and you can read the full story here.

The latest idea for helping my allergy is a supplement of linoleic acid, which really means Omega6 Fatty Acid). This is an essential fatty acid for a dog but we cannot make it ourselves.
The symptoms of a fatty acid deficiency are pretty much the problems I have been suffering. They include dry, flaky skin, greasy dull coat and inflamed skin patches after the dog has worried at them. The solution we are trying is a blend of Omega 3, 6 and 9 oils that Mum bought at the local health food shop, I take a spoonful with my food each day. I gave been taking the supplement for ten days now, I will report on progress.

The latest idea we have had for dealing with my skin allergy came from some research that Mum did a couple of weeks ago. Although my Burns’ Dog Food, and the James Wellbeloved that I now use, both contain the essential nutrients, there may be some extra elements that could relieve my condition.

I have been having trouble with my skin allergy again this year: it became much worse when the warm weather began and I have been wearing a t-shirt when I am sitting around, to prevent me from scratching. There are no photos of me in the t-shirt: far too embarrassing! Mum and Dad believe there is no point in taking antibiotics for atopy continually, all they do is relieve the symptoms of the illness - not the cause. We have changed my dog food diet twice now in the hope that this will help me in the long term.

I was over at my Nan’s house again yesterday - I think she likes having me there as a guard dog. Normally I walk up to her house and I go into the next door neighbour’s garden first - these are the people who sometimes save a lamb bone for me. But yesterday something smelt different. The two dogs have arrived, they are staying for a week while their family goes on holiday. One dog, Ben, is a Border Collie, and the other is a Golden Labrador called Libby. The labrador is quite aggressive, which is unusual for a Labrador. She growled at me as soon as she saw me - cheek!! The Collie was a nice friendly dog, Mum seemed to like him and I had to give a little bark to remind her that I am her dog! The family are really enjoying looking after the dogs, and they are being paid, so they are very happy.
