More rain…

We want some sun.

We are both getting a bit bored of the rain. It is a bit confusing for the old brain when you go out for a tiddles and your back is getting soaked!

One other downside to the rain and wind is that is rattles on the windows and the wind makes shutters and doors clang and bang and in turn us to woof.  Now we don’t like to woof, especially at night, but whilst mum and dad are asleep we are in charge and so we must be on guard.

Mum and dad however don’t like us barking loudly, in case we wake neighbours, so they are looking for ways to get us to shut up once we have raised the alarm. 

They had heard of bark sprayers, dog bark gadgets, and all the techie stuff but they wanted something a little cheaper.  

Research is still ongoing but my mum has at least one idea which she will be trying over the next few months, and no doubt reporting back here.

 The Agility Bits exclusive anti bark training device  

This training device looks uncannily like the cardboard tube from the inside of a roll of kitchen towel. Mum holds it up to her mouth and makes a funny sound down it to get our attention…  – and she thinks this will work?

Bark on demand

Whilst we were looking around the web we came across this colleague who could bark on demand.

 One clever pooch.

Scent de’pooch

Now I am not an Old Spice kind of dog, I am not really even a Armani or Davidoff bloke but after a good wash my dad says I smell really nice. So a website selling ‘Eau de pooch’ has me wondering, why?

A store in London called Mungo & Maud  is selling a product called “Petite Amande” Dog Fragrance. The website says the ‘fragrance is inspired by nature with notes of French blackcurrant, Tunisian neroli, mimosa and violet leaf on a base of sweet vanilla bourbon… with a little almond.’ 

Now lets get something clear here Buster and I are both blokes and smelling of ‘violet leaf’ and not of ‘soggy doggie’ is not our thing but, we are prepared to be open minded, however at £38 we will not be putting it on our Christmas list.

Until next time Charlie and Buster.
