Dogs/ Man's Best Friend.

[maroonlegions]

Had a few dugs in my life, loved them all. Nothing like a dug, great wee mates and loyal.

 

Anyone had experiences with their dugs that they fondly recall.  

 

But had one dug like this, bless him....

I've had loads of dogs over the years, some better than others and a couple that couldn't find a rabbit in a telephone box!!!

It's the exited expectation that I like, telling youself that this is the one, this is going to be your "dog of a lifetime".

Nell is the latest "potentially the best dog in the world" to come to Chateau Dawnrazor, here getting to know old Rex (one of my dogs of a lifetime).

We got our first dog a couple of years ago. Best thing ever. Wish we'd done it 20 or 30 years ago.

I like dugs, but if someone feed me every day and cleaned up after me, I'd be their best friend too

😂 dugs offer so much more than that but was very funny.

Grew up with a Corgie. She lived for 18 years so pretty much never knew life without her from birth to adulthood. 

 

 Found an old Pitt bull chained to the side of a road and had all intentions of taking it to the dog and cat home on the Monday but ended up having him for 3 years before he passed. Had a jack Russell for over 10 years.  Haven’t been able to get another dog since her passing pass as it just breaks me inside having to get them out to sleep.
 

Have a cat ATM. Pretty much a functional relationship- she keeps the mice away and gets everything she needs and I don’t have to walk it.

I wouldn’t know what to do without my Spaniel. She is more than just a dog. More than a pet even.

 

Completely part of my daily life and one of the family. She’s very sensitive and can read me like a book.

 

Hugely intelligent. 
 

If I make an ordinary phone call to a pal she ignores it. If I ring for a take away she knows and immediately sits by the window and won’t leave until it has been delivered.

 

Shes trained to the gun although haven’t been out this year because of Covid.

 

My life simply would not be the same without her.

Mate of mine lost his dog recently. Rang him a day later for support. Pair of us ended up bawling down the phone to each other. 
 

Mine is 7 and I’m dreading now the day she goes.

I know the feeling, my oldest dog who lives in the house with us is 13 in March.

Lost our Skye in October 2019. Swore never again. Broke my bloody heart having to see her go. 
 

But the house was so empty and sad, I guess that’s the legacy she left and the impact she made.

 

Got this wee fella in August and I’m beyond happy

Nice one Dagger. 

 

Dogs are just wonderful. We have a Cavalier King Charles and a rescue Cavalier cross and they bring so much to our family.

 

Love nothing better than walking them in the hills and sharing the sofa with them.

The Mrs would have taken a Cavalier in a heartbeat. Great dogs. I hear you Jonno, it’s the simple pleasures and being with your dog I find is really therapeutic. I get up every morning with him, feed him, and then kip down on the sofa for an hour. Bliss

I know exactly what you mean. I'm biased too. Every days an adventure and soaking it all up is part of the fun

[merrymac]

Never had a dog all my days - lived in a flat when I was young and travelled a lot with work so thought it wouldn't be fair.

Changed jobs a few years ago,and was home every day, so we got Rudi (who is now 8 unbelievably). WE then got his half sister Lexi. (same dad) 5 years ago. Boy was I missing something in my life. Now retired and walk the dogs three times a day through rain and shine, just absolutely love it. No worries about being bored in my retirement, and my weight is now back to where it was about 30 years ago!

There is something very special about the bond with a dog, and they make me laugh 10 times a day with their antics. Getting through the lockdown was certainly hugely helped by having my dogs around.

Any way here they are

I would never have survived lockdown without my Spaniel Dizzy.

 

Shes 7 now and still completely bonkers. My first dog and boy did I get a goodun. She more human than dog. Completely in tune with me. Knows exactly when I’m off it a bit and sits on my lap.

 

My uncle Ian owns her mum and her great aunt. Unfortunately her great aunt Willow passed away yesterday aged 14. My uncle is really upset obviously.

 

Dogs make such an important impact to your lives.

Samuel Dogster is quite a refined character, getting on a bit now, full of aches and pains but a character nonetheless. Wife is after another one and I sense I’m fighting a losing battle!

I added a new puppy to our household in August. Older lab has just turned 12 on Monday there. They get on great despite the age gap.

 

The wee one is absolutely besotted with the older dog.

My oldest (Ruby) has always been allowed up, but she's only ever been allowed on one of our couches, which is also covered by a blanket at all times.

 

The very first thing the new pup (Ada) done on arrival was walk up to the couch and try get on it. For the first few weeks she wouldn't settle anywhere other than one particular spot on the couch. We even had to put her crate up there.

 

Once she got used to the surroundings she was fine but it was really bizarre to see her make a beeline for it.

They're weirdly wonderful creatures

[CavySlaveJambo]

I’ve got two completely different boys.  T who is completely focused on me, and quiet.  And F who is completely daft and is the barker.    
F is now the smaller dog, not that is bothers him.  T is limited as an Assistance Dog  Pupper who we were waiting to fully toilet train and get his basics spot on before officially taking him out as one, but seeing as he is too cute I can’t take him out without people distracting him.  T is the cream and F is the Black.  and the Guinea Pig is called Rosie. F loves her.

Brilliant to see everyone’s pooches and their stories. Can’t help but lift your spirits.

 

You’ve all got cracking best friends folks

[mugwump]

Had to have my Springer put down a year ago this week. Had her for thirteen years she was fantastic. Not afraid to admit I was a gibbering wreck at the Vets but fortunately my youngest came with me and he managed to hold it together. Still to soon for me to get another although my eldest has just got a Border Terrier and she's a cracker. My wife is on at me to get another and maybe it is time.

 

Thinking though with all these photos i've been a bit harsh. Never allowed any of my dogs on the couch or upstairs in the house.

 (The rest of the family may or may not have in my absence)

Fancy one of these?

Sired by a young dog of mine, I was planning to take a Black and White bitch but with a possible operation on the horizon I don't think I can get one😢😢😢

[mugwump]

Thanks for the thought Dawnrazor but maybe still not the right time. Maybe early next year I could pm you and see if any other litters are due?

Have been trying to send pic... So... A little beautiful wee husky /collie called Rudi... 9 weeks old.... 

[Der Kaiser]

First thing I'd buy with a lottery win. 

Won't buy one now as its just me most days so when I'm working it'd be stuck on its own. Don't want to pay someone to walk it.

Took my wee 15 year old greyhound Cindy to the vet last week,not eating and not wanting to walk,fearing the worst.
