OH MY DOG
Doggo Diviner! 🐾Meet Joey, the water-detecting wonder Pup!😲

Joey giving his ‘power’ nose a quick polish

In a tale that's like a heartwarming movie, Nicole Harvey left behind two decades of job security to follow her heart, & it had four furry legs & a name..Joey. This Springer Spaniel stole her heart at eight weeks old, leading her on an incredible journey to save water.

Trained by Australia’s Sydney Water, Joey, works with his partner Hydro (“The Leak Busters”), together, this dynamic doggy duo has already uncovered 325 leaks in Sydney alone, & now they're taking their talents to rural areas, ensuring every drop is cherished in a drying climate.

Joey's not just a good boy, he's a water-saving wizard, uncovering leaks two meters underground like it's a game of hide-and-seek. Forget traditional leak detection devices, Joey's got the ‘power’ nose.

Trained to spot chlorine & fluoride in drinking water, he's like a canine superhero preventing water disasters before they happen. It's a "tail" of clever conservation & a Springer Spaniel with a heart (and nose) of gold. 🌊🐶

“All his life he tried to be a good person. Many times, however, he failed. For after all, he was only human. He wasn’t a dog.”

Cheeseburger Dog Biscuits: Easy homemade dog biscuits & good for your pooch with wholesome ingredients😋

Ingredients

  • 1 cup quick oats

  • 1 cup yellow or white corn meal

  • 1 cube beef stock try to use a real meat one stock cube, crumbled

  • 1/2 cup very warm water

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1/2-1 cup water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F / 180 C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment (you may need additional pans depending on size cut).

  • Mix oats, cornmeal and stock cube in a large bowl. Add the warm water; stir. Let this sit for 10-15 minutes so the oats soften (water does not have to be entirely absorbed, but oats must be soft).

  • Stir in the flour and the shredded cheese. Add only enough additional water to make a rollable dough.

  • Roll out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch / 0.6-cm thickness. Cut into desired shape. I use a "medium" dog bone biscuit cutter that is approximately 3-inches long. I got roughly 30 biscuits and needed 2 baking sheets).

  • Bake for 30-35 minutes. Turn off oven and let the biscuits sit in the oven until the oven completely cools. This dehydrates the biscuits for better storage.

OK..NOW WHAT?
Why’s my dog chasing it’s tail & should I stop it??

I’m gonna getcha…one of these days…🤨

🐾 Unraveling the tail tale: Why doggos chase their tails & what to do about It! 🐾 Ever wondered why your furry pal is on a perpetual tail-chasing expedition? Well, buckle up, because we've got the scoop!

According to experts, dogs, especially puppies, may spin in circles purely for the thrill of it, or out of sheer boredom when left to their own devices. If your pupper is running a tail-chasing marathon, it could be a call for attention, & yes, your laughter or praise might be inadvertently encouraging the spinning spectacle. But fret not, dog-parent extraordinaire, because we've got some tricks up our sleeves to curb this canine carousel.

For starters, engage your pooch in activities that are more thrilling than their own tails—fetch, walks, or any positive playtime will do the trick. Turns out, certain dog breeds, like bull terriers & German shepherds, are more prone to this ballerina behavior.

And here's a pro tip: if your pooch suddenly becomes a tail-chasing maniac, it might be more than just playfulness; it could signal an injury, itching, or even neurological issues…check with your vet.

So if you’re concerned there's a light at the end of the tail-chasing tunnel. Training your pup with positive reinforcement & enriching their lives mentally & emotionally can work wonders.🚀🐶

Dogs cannot feel guilt. What we see is their ability to react to body language.
