		<title>Dog toys and yellow snowmen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry, but the excitement from all the dog toys and goodies I got for Christmas made me completely forget to blog. I hope in the absence of my canine literary genius, you have been suitably rested and refreshed, despite the horrendously cold weather. Dog walking &#8211; avoid yellow snowmen If you&#8217;ve been dog walking in [...]]]></description>

		<title>How do I stop my dogs from peeing overnight in the house?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Elizabeth asked the petsperts®: &#8220;How do I get my 2 20 month old Chocolate labradors completely dry at night? No problems during the day, but never completely reliable at night since we&#8217;ve had them at 8 weeks. They both go out last thing and have a wee in our garden but then I can come [...]]]></description>

		<title>Salt content in dog food</title>

Can you help?&#8221; &#8212; Hi Sue, All of our natural dog food contains some element of salt, since almost all of the ingredients contain some natural salt content, which is not removed.

		<title>Doggy Delhi Belly</title>

And for once, I think I might actually deserve it. The story unfolds thus. I got left [...]]]></description>

		<title>Natural Feeding for Dogs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Diet is probably the single most influential factor affecting a dog&#8217;s condition. And also the easiest to get wrong. I firmly believe that all animals benefit enormously from eating only foods that they have evolved to eat. In doing so they are able to receive everything they need without the risks associated with unsuitable foods, [...]]]></description>

You see the story unfolds thus. As we ambled leisurely into Kensington Park, I spied a couple of nonchalant squirrels on the horizon, basking in the afternoon sun. Fools, [...]]]></description>

It was an interesting one to say the least. The usual suspects were there; horses of every breed, strutting their stuff like they owned the place, all types of cattle, a smattering [...]]]></description>

		<title>What a load of bullocks</title>

Being a congenial canine, I naturally tried to make friends with the winner in the Bull Section (that&#8217;s his picture above), but it seems we were just not on the same wavelength. In fact, I&#8217;d go so [...]]]></description>
