My bro took his to Tisos and they sent them off to get fixed. He was quite impressed with their service.

Haha loving these!  Especially loving Hannah assisting with the dishes in the last one...suppose this leads naturally to a question, how many of us bring our hounds on trips?

I like to bring one every chance I get... They work as a great hot water bottle too:







Can be a bit anti-social though  :D

Haha absolutely brilliant Dowser!  Having only moved from the parental home to the marital home in the last 12 months havent yet got around to a wee hound of my own, but hoipefully in the offing

Have a good friend who's hound went out on his canadian any time he went paddling; went out one day with a few mates so no room for the dog, dog saw the boat whewn he came back and the dog properly huffed with him for 3 or 4 days...so guess its not just us humans who love all things outdoors  8)

Looks like you've done a great job at repairing those boots Mourneman. It wouldn't even have occurred to me to attempt that myself... definitely wouldn't have turned out that well.

Dowser, haha, i laughed at this pic...
