The Champagne is getting warm

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

Come on you guys, I’ve bought the chocolates and the champagne, and it is taking all my will power to not open either of them! We are so close the 1,000th Dicky Bag order and the person who will be the lucky recipient of both the champagne and the HUGE box of chocolates (over £50 worth of goodies) but don’t forget if you do win it we’ll want a photo of you enjoying your booty!! Don’t...

Why getting a dog is better than getting plastic surgery!

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

I’ve always believed that dogs keep you young at heart but I wanted to share this article with you because it seems they might keep you looking younger too! This article was written by a Plastic Surgeon and dog lover who wants to put across the argument for why getting a dog is a much better investment than cosmetic surgery! Surely if he’s saying it it must be true!!  I may have to start...

The Poo Tree!!

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

The first time that I, Dicky Dog encountered the poo tree I was quite taken aback to say the least. I’d been out for a lovely stroll with my faithful human companions and as we returned to the car park at a hitherto unexplored location, there, just off the beaten path was the poo tree. Rearing it’s ugly branches from the wilderness, a tree so unpleasant it stopped me in my tracks. There...

If Carlsberg made worming tablets…

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

Well, it appears they do! Or at least you’d be forgiven for thinking they do if you’ve recently wormed your dog with one of those canny little tablets disguised very effectively as a sort of oxo cube for dogs. Gone are the days of lagging a tablet the size of a bar of soap with a full pound of butter, rolling up your sleeves and preparing to try and convince your dog to swallow it! “Hold...

What have we been rolling in this week?

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

Ah the joy of the great outdoors! Waking along with your faithful companion at your heels, breathing in the heady scent of the English countryside.  Until that is, an unusual odour starts to creep up on you, “What on earth is that awful smell!” you cry. Man’s best friend has rolled in something potent…again.  Sometimes it’s her own poop, sometimes somebody else’s, sometimes it’s something...

Dogs… why do we love them so much?

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

If you’ve got a dog, (and if you’re on the Dickybag website) the chances are that you know how special dogs are… we’ve had a long relationship with these very special creatures although no one really knows the specifics of when dogs were domesticated but archelogists are aware of many cultures around the world who allowed dogs into the tribe from 14,000 years ago! That’s a long term relationship...

The Rotty that came back to life!

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

I was reading this amazing story about a Rottweiler Mia who came back from the dead. Her owner had decided to have her put down at age 11 because she had lots of different health problems and he was being forced to move into a small apartment.  He felt that he was alleviating her suffering when he took her to the vets to be euthanised… but Mia had other ideas and essentially came back from...

Poor Cesar Milan and “Daddy” dog!

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

After reading an article on www.dogmagazine.net it seems that arguably the most well known dog trainer in the world Cesar Milan who is famous for saying “It’s not about the dog. … It’s always about the owner” is facing a ban on his beloved dog “Daddy”. A ban in the US (Ontario’s 2005 Dog Owners Liability Act) has banned the breeding, sale and ownership of pit bulls. The ban also covers Staffordshire...

Fireworks Night! Time to hide under the table!!

Written on . Posted in Dicky Dog Blog.

…that’s your dog… not you… well – perhaps you don’t like the loud banging and whizzing sounds of fireworks either but we’re writing this post primarily with the canine members of your household in mind :) Dogs don’t understand all the noises and flashes in the sky at this time of year and frankly it can scare them.  Unfortunately fireworks don’t...
