Four top dog grooming tips to make your pooch Crufts-worthy

IF you’ve been inspired by the perfect pooches at Crufts this week, it could be time to spruce up your own mutt.

Your pup may not reach best-in-show standard, but they’ll be top dog to you.

We have four doggy grooming tips to make your pooch Crufts-worthy[/caption]

Here are our top tips . . . 

BATHTIME: Washing a dog too much can strip their coat of those natural oils.

A bath every couple of months is usually enough.

Brush the coat first to remove any tangles.

Wet the coat a bit at a time to get the dog used to it, then foam up with a special dog shampoo, massaging it in thoroughly.

Wash off all the bubbles then towel-dry or use a hairdryer on a cool setting.

ROOM TO GROOM: A visit to the groomer’s can be pricey, with an average cost of £40 to £50 per session.

But you can save money by learning to do the basics at home.

Online videos can give you great tips.

Simple brushing twice a week can make a big difference.

It helps to distribute natural oils and gives you the chance to check for any skin problems.

Different dogs require different grooming techniques.

Check out the guides to short, medium and long-haired breeds at thekennelclub.org.uk.

HIT YOUR STROKE: You can pamper your dog even if they’re not keen on being brushed or bathed.

Setting aside time each day for a stroking session will put a spring in their step and help them feel more like being groomed.

Gently run your hands over the legs and ears, and lift their paws — but only if they don’t object — before building up over the coming days to a gentle brush.

End each grooming with a doggy treat.

FACE FACTS: Some dogs don’t like it if you wash their face, so take a cue from your own dog’s body language.

If they’re OK with it, try dabbing their eyes and the outside of their ears using a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt.

Brushing their teeth regularly is important to prevent decay.

Pep Guardiola in secret Spain trip to save marriage as he refuses to give up hope after divorce announcement

PEP Guardiola has made a secret three-day trip to Barcelona to rescue his marriage — staying with wife Cristina at their home.

The Man City boss has “not given up hope on his marriage” despite a divorce announcement in January, sources say.

Pep, 54, took a private jet from Manchester to Barcelona just hours after his team’s 3-1 win against Plymouth in the FA Cup last Saturday.

City had seven days without a game ahead of yesterday’s Premier League defeat against Nottingham Forest.

A source said: “They spent three nights together in Barcelona, both staying at the family home.

“Pep went out on Monday to the dentist and Cristina went to her fashion shop in the city centre.

“They met up again at the shop and spent three hours there before returning to the house to spend the evening together.

“Pep left for Manchester on Tuesday morning.”

The trip has given rise to hopes that the couple will save their marriage.

They drifted apart after Cristina, 52, moved back to Barcelona in 2019.

Manchester City were approached for comment on behalf of Pep.

Pisces weekly horoscope: What your star sign has in store for March 9 – March 15

OUR much-loved astrologer Meg sadly died in 2023 but her column will be kept alive by her friend and protégé Maggie Innes.

Read on to see what’s written in the stars for you today. 

PISCES

FEB 19 – MAR 20

🔵 Read our horoscopes live blog for the latest readings

a zodiac sign for pisces with a green background

Your special star gifts this week link to co-operation and team spirit. 

You know exactly when and how to boost it, but also when to call a halt. 

You have deep moon insight into what a group, or a deal, most needs – but you are also ready to rate your own needs highly. 

This may create some challenges, but they leave you buzzing. 

Passion doubles around duplicate orders. 

DESTINY DAYS: Take statements at face value on Monday. 

Let a friend decide your love direction on Thursday. Spend the weekend reviewing “F” data. 

MAKE THIS THE WEEK YOU… Stop juggling numerous projects and focus on just one.

Sign up for a course or activity that celebrates your love of nature.

UNLOCK YOUR SECRET SELF Trying again for a compromise can create great results even against the lunar eclipse odds – and get two people, or generations, back on the same page.  

But do start a negotiation process with a clean slate and clear mind – leave old mindsets and mistakes in the dust. 

This is true at work, in love and also at home. 

This extra-powerful full moon favours  partnerships at all stages — any distance can suddenly decrease.

You’ll find a paradise for families on the Venetian Riviera, says Sinead McIntyre

ITALY is one of my favourite countries to visit. So much so, I got married there 17 years ago.

I love the people, the food, the wine – and the scenery is pretty awesome, too.

Ride the slides at the waterpark at five-star Union Lido Eurocamp

But it can be pricey, especially when you have two teenagers to factor in, who are also often hard to entertain.

Thankfully, we found everything we were after – beautiful beaches, affordable restaurants, activities, water slides and the option to self-cater – at five-star Union Lido Eurocamp.

Getting there is also super-easy: a flight into the bustling Venice Marco Polo airport and a handy bus from outside the terminal that stops right in front of the sprawling campsite and costs £36 for the four of us.

Setting up camp

On arrival, our 13-year-old twins Riley and Harris, husband Alistair and I are quickly checked in and transported by golf buggy to our three-bed comfort XL holiday home on a tree-lined row.

It’s blisteringly hot, so before we unpack, we pop around the corner to the water park with its array of multicoloured slides to suit everyone, from fast and furious to a lazy river.

It also has a gorgeous poolside snack bar, Barena, where we dig into pepperoni pizzas, £9, washed down with pints of Moretti, £5, and Coke, £3.

Spaghetti junction

Union Lido is one of Eurocamp’s largest sites, with 2,930 pitches and 15 restaurants, snack bars and takeaways, so it takes a while to get our bearings.

That evening, we wander to the main square, where there is a huge supermarket and a fairground.

We opt for Cantinetta Lispida, a traditional Italian eatery, and I choose the carbonara, £13, while Alistair tries the spaghetti and meatballs, £19.35. Riley and Harris both settle on the four-cheese gnocchi, £14.90, and we also order a carafe of house red, £11, which is one of the best I’ve ever had.

All in all, a great start to a holiday and a taste of things to come, as this place is full of gorgeous restaurants – from the Al Mare on the beach to one of our favourites, Il Borgo, or The Dog Restaurant, as it is nicknamed.

The campsite welcomes dogs with open arms. They have their own campsite area (with their owners, of course), their own swimming pool, and yes, their own restaurant.

Il Borgo is recommended to us by an Irish family we bump into, who have been coming to Union Lido for years. We take their advice and are not disappointed.

The mussels in tomato sauce, £15, are mouth-watering and the spaghetti vongole, £15, is so delicious that I could eat another bowlful. Alistair and Harris wolf down the house burger, £17, and Riley is delighted with her chilli-cheese nuggets, £6.

Meanwhile, I’m thrilled that my refreshing Aperol spritz costs a bargain £4.

Pedalo a-go-go

The blue-flag beach is our favourite place to spend our days.

Seaside bar Lido ‘55 serves ice-cold beers, Coke floats and snacks that can be devoured on your sunbed – and the people-watching never fails to disappoint.

I take a break from the fam one day and pop to the wellbeing spa, treating myself to a dead-sea scrub, £41.

Later, we all hire a pedalo with a slide and spend a joyful hour whizzing down it into the sparkling blue sea. Taking out paddle boards also proves a fun way to while away the hours.

Riley and Harris are complete naturals and end up so far out to sea, we worry they could be swept away, but it’s not long before they head back to shore again.

Exploring the local area is as simple as jumping on a bus outside the campsite, so we head 9km to the port of Punta Sabbioni, where ferries depart regularly to Venice.

But instead of going to the City of Canals, we decide to visit the islands of Murano and Burano, from £6. It’s 30 minutes on the ferry to our first stop, Murano.

Known as Glass Island, it’s the second largest in the Venetian lagoon after Venice, and is renowned for its glassware.

We take a tour of the Murano Glass Factory to watch the age-old practice of glass blowing in action. Tours cost £4.20 per adult, under-14s are free (Visitmuranoglassfactory.com).

Afterwards, I am tempted by a beautiful vase, but worry I won’t get it home without breaking it.

The colourful chandeliers are also works of art, and I vow one day to return and find a way to transport one home with me.

Talking of chandeliers, we also pop into the Glass Museum where, along with Phoenician flasks and goblets, there is a chandelier weighing 330kg! Entry costs £8.50 for adults, under-14s cost £6.25 (Museovetro.visitmuve.it).

Dopamine days

From Murano, it’s 24 minutes on the No12 ferry to Burano, known for its colourful buildings and intricate lace.

It only takes 10 minutes to stroll from one end of this island to the other, admiring the dopamine houses along the Tre Ponti wooden bridge, painted by fishermen so they could see them in the fog.

The Lace Museum at the historic palace of Podestà of Torcello is also worth a visit. It has regular art exhibitions and showcases the history of lace making on the island.

Entry costs £4 for adults, £2.90 for kids (Museomerletto.visitmuve.it).

Another day, we catch a bus outside the campsite in the opposite direction, to the bustling historic Cavallino Treporti Market, which has everything from food to clothes, and we pick up some olive oil and balsamic vinegar as a souvenir.

All too soon, it’s time to journey home.

But with an air-conditioned bus that picks us up at the campsite and drops us at the airport, getting to this part of Italy has never been easier. And we will be back!

BTW

A week’s stay for four at Union Lido Eurocamp costs from £441
(Eurocamp.co.uk).

UK return flights to Venice cost from £68.

I was celibate for 2 years after Teddy split, I’ve had great sex since but I don’t want anything more, says Faye Winter

LOVE Island’s Faye Winter, 29, opens up about why she’s chosen celibacy to rediscover herself.

After a two-year break from relationships and healing from the pressures of her public break-up, Faye discusses her new focus on personal growth, her love for her animals, and the empowering life changes she’s making as she heads towards her thirties.

Faye admits she stayed with Teddy Soares longer than she should have—now she’s thriving on her own[/caption]

I’ve been single for two years, and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.

I have always felt my most insecure in relationships, but now I’m comfortable, self-aware and know my own worth.

I wanted to be single for a year [after splitting from Teddy Soares, 29, in 2023] and I’ve doubled that.

I also wanted to stay celibate, so I could find myself again.

Some sexy DMs did tempt me, but I wanted to stay true to myself.

Since then, I’ve had some great sex. It’s taboo, but women have needs.

At the moment, I like to have sex, but I don’t want anything more than that.

Nobody has come home to meet my golden retriever Bonnie yet.

After Love Island [in 2021], I stayed with Teddy longer than I should have.

I felt people wanted us to fail, so I stayed to try and prove the doubters wrong.

I’d never had a relationship in the public eye before, and it was harder than I could have imagined

When you stay too long in a relationship, you lose part of yourself.

By the end, I was in a very lonely and vulnerable place – the darkest place I’d ever been.

I have nothing to say to Teddy

That wasn’t necessarily due to Teddy’s behaviour [there were claims he’d cheated]; it was because of the way I treated myself by never putting myself first.

We won’t speak again – I’ve got nothing to say to him.

As a child, I was very outdoorsy, but then I started trying to “fit in”, and was more concerned with my hair, make-up and having plastic surgery.

I’ve had my fillers dissolved, because I didn’t recognise myself, inside or outside.

I got breast implants for my 18th birthday, as I’d always felt insecure about my AA/A cups.

On Love Island, I got a lot of backlash about the way I looked, which had a knock-on effect to me feeling lost after the villa.

I’ve since had my fillers dissolved, because I didn’t recognise myself, inside or outside.

Life started to turn around after I got Bonnie two years ago – she really did save my life.

Faye added rescue ponies, Keith and Kevin, to her clan in November 2024

I was in therapy and couldn’t leave my house because of self-doubt and social anxiety.

She gave me a new focus and reminded me what love was.

I moved back to Devon in early 2023 with Bonnie, then added two rescue ponies, Keith and Kevin, to our clan in November 2024.

Being covered in mud with my animals has made my heart feel full again.

Top of my list for a partner is love and compassion for animals.

If they’re allergic to dogs, we could never see each other again!

I’m a great Auntie Faye for about 55 minutes, then I’m done – I have animals to tend to!

Bonnie’s a terrible wingwoman, because she doesn’t like men.

She’s a bit like me – she takes a while to trust new people.

Freezing my eggs is something I’m learning about.

I turn 30 in June, and I’m not at the stage where I’m longing for children or feel like something’s missing from my life.

I don’t know at what point that will click – maybe it won’t, and I’m OK with that.

But I’m not going to lower my standards to find a man because I want to start a family.

I’m a great Auntie Faye for about 55 minutes, then I’m done – I have animals to tend to!

And I’m not looking to have a child solo – I’ve got my three fur babies.

I love myself

When people ask about my love life, I don’t get embarrassed – my love life is me, and I love myself.

I feel the least lonely I’ve ever been.

My perfect Sunday is going for a dog walk and a pint with Bonnie.

I’ve bought a house by myself and sometimes fear I’ve bitten off more than I can chew with the renovations, but I can chew a lot in my big mouth without the self-doubt whispering in my ear.

Having that extra pair of hands would be useful, but I love that I’ve done it on my own.

You will not see me on Love Island: All Stars. It was an amazing experience, but for me, it didn’t work.

I’m learning things every day – like how to strip plaster off walls and things my dad would do while I was growing up.

I feel very empowered.

But this year, I want to do more.

It can feel like your path is cast in stone after life in the villa, but I know that wasn’t my path, and now I’m carving out my own that I can be proud of.

I won’t work with brands that test on animals, so that cancels out a lot!

I’ve just filmed something super-exciting, so hopefully you’ll see that soon.

You will not see me on Love Island: All Stars. It was an amazing experience, but for me, it didn’t work.

Plus, I know lots of past contestants – if I was going to date any of them, it would have happened by now.

If the right person comes along, then they’re welcome, but I’m not going to change myself to fit their narrative.

They have to abide by mine and Bonnie’s rules.

Any sense of needing to surround yourself with different faces, maybe different viewpoints, can come to a head with this week’s full moon. 

You can make that one move that gives you extra choice, although probably also extra challenges. 

Passion and imagination make a naughty pair, and fantasy “S” loving is so close to reality. 

Calm words line up to help you seek and seize greater career rewards.

Believe in your specialness, and ability to adapt. 

UNLOCK YOUR SECRET SELF You may feel an urge to test friendships or other close bonds. 

And past issues bubbe up again in the present. 

But thanks to the lunar eclipse, this time you can and will deal with them. 

Honesty is not always easy, but it’s the only way for you. 

Whatever friends say or do, stay 100% true to yourself, to emerge stronger.   

Joining a new local group is an inspired move.
