How are you supposed to start and maintain a healthy lifestyle if it completely removes a wine lover’s reason to live?

I love that dog, but a dog needs caring for.

Whilst dogs are very bright and intelligent for their needs they can be stupid and need caring for.

Yesterday I pulled my first radish, the row of radish this year are in an ex-met tunnel. So I pull one radish and she is on to them, before I pulled the radish she wasn't interested. Now, she's trying every way possible to get at them. It's smell isn't it, and whatever she smells is released after I pulled that first one.

Every morning at 4.30 she wants a pee, I feed her in the hope she'll settle down so I can sleep a little longer. By 5.30 she wants a poo and then a chewy treat.

I didn't want another dog because of the eventual heartbreak, then, when they are poorly you have to guess and the vet fills them with antibiotic.

What would I do without that dog, she follows me everywhere and mostly gets in the way.

I love that dog so I'm sharing this amazing drawing with you doggy people, I had it done for Mo on her birthday.

It is Molly and I'm still amazed that an artist can capture the very attitude of the study, a work colleague of my partner said that Molly was cross-eyed.

When Molly wants something she does two things, she jigs about and rotates then stares at you with THAT stare.

The artist is Sylvia Gainsford (Professional name) who now lives locally with her husband Leon Olin.

Our Brittany - Georgia - is 2. She spent the first year of her life with our other Brittany and they were inseparable. However Georgia's energy was Sigé's demise and she went to meet her maker last summer.

Georgia spent weeks looking for her, stopped eating, sleeping or growing. Having been used to going out to the barn at night, in a crate, she wrecked the cage by bouncing it across the floor. We tried medication and pheromones but to no effect.

As I work away from home, Lyndon was largely left to deal with this and the vet said either you have to keep her with you at all times until she gets over the trauma or you put her down. She's a gorgeous girl, very biddable, loveable and extremely clever. She's also quite rare as there are only 6 Brittany breeders in the UK.

So, for the past year she goes everywhere with us. She was sleeping in the bedroom (unheard of!) but will now stay in the study. We can leave her in the house for a few hours and she's quite settled in the car.

As for disgracing herself (and us) by depositing waste, she takes after the old girl and will only go on grass. We have 7 acres at home, so that's not a problem, but if we take her into town, she simply won't go. She's got a nurse's bladder and will happily hang on 12 hours until it's convenient.

We know this is probably our last dog and we want her to be a happy pet, so hopefully she will be.
