One day when I went into the room where the box was kept, I saw that he had ripped open the cardboard box and got one of his fave toys (teddy). Clever boy!

When we were off leash in the park and Cali ran into a group picnic, frantically saying hello for pats and enjoying their picnic spread of cinnamon scrolls, cheese and crackers (whilst we are running from the other side of the park to stop her) decides she better move on and in doing so runs to another picnic, with a picnic bag around her neck dragging beside her… lucky everyone loves puppies and Cali is cute and fun, she definitely got away with it!

What’s your pet’s favourite food?
Cat biscuits. She eats them too fast though.

Play with her favourite toy, a rabbit skin mouse on a bouncy string. There are feathers to begin with but they get eaten early. Then the bell goes. Then she chews through the elastic. I've taken to buying them in bulk.
What’s your funniest memory involving your pet?
The acrobatics involved in playing with her favourite toy. Although I've discovered that after a full twist flip mid leap she does not always land on her feet. Panda doesn't seem to mind though.

What’s your funniest memory involving your pet?
Prada and Versace are littermates and were the only two in their litter. Prada I've had since she was 12 weeks old, however Versace only joined our family after 3yrs of living with his breeder, so the process of him and Prada realising who each other were was very amusing! They are so alike in their mannerisms so it looked like they were always mimicking each other.

Winston and Teetoo
Owner: Catherine
What breed is your pet?
Winston is a black Labrador and Teetoo is a chocolate Labrador.
What’s your pet’s favourite food?
Winston loves chicken and Teetoo loves everything except for celery.
What’s your favourite thing to do together?
Cuddles, walks and watching the boys run through puddles.
What’s your funniest memory involving your pet?
Teetoo the chocolate Lab is very affectionate and sometimes Winston the black Lab would like more of the affection. Winston can be very strategic about trying to get Teetoo away from the humans so that he can have a cuddle. One time when Teetoo was on top of me for a cuddle, Winston went to the door as though he needed to be let out. I got up to let him out and Winston waited for Teetoo to go outside before walking back to the couch and looking at me to close the door on Teetoo and come and cuddle him. Other times he brings toys to try to lure Teetoo off me so that he can jump up for a cuddle! This is Winston’s face when Teetoo is getting too many cuddles from the humans.
