To ask you to come and celebrate your dog with me

I have had a shite week, so could do with some smiles and happy things.

So, dog owners, please post pics of your pooches, and tell me a bit about them.
It can be current dogs, or ones that have gone over the bridge. Maybe any from your childhood.

Also, please share a funny or embarrassing tale about them.

Here is mine. She is called Loopy, and is a 13 year old rescue greyhound. She was never raced (I adopted her at 4 months old).
She likes to shake her toys, and often ends up throwing them. She once threw a pair of socks and it hit the back of my sister's head 😂

Let us fill this thread with lovely dog pics and happy memories.

Badger, my 4 month old Collie x, and Boo, my almost 5yr old Presa canario ❤️

Crazycatlady79 · 21/07/2024 21:44

My 22 week old Havanese after her first groom. The groomer added the hideous pink rosette, not me.
She is such a lovely dog: really sweet, but bonkers. Intelligent and stubborn AF.
She has brought so much love into our household.
One of her best attributes: she doesn't like my ex husband and growls when he comes to see the DC. Clever dog!

Shamelessly bumping my own thread to counteract the dog hating froth (again).

Please share some pics of your doggos!

My hound is 14 now. Here she is on her recent holiday.

Here is my lovely mini schnauzer- cuddling on the sofa!

EvieSchnoz · 27/11/2023 16:27

This is my girl Evie - she's currently sulking as she can't lay on the heated throw (due to me using it)

She hopes your week gets better 🤗

My darling boy Arthur, another waiting for me over the rainbow 🌈 xx

Mary46 · 27/11/2023 16:20

Lovely photos great thread

Rocky our dog

Whistleandillcometothee · 27/11/2023 13:53

She regards it as her duty to catch every single leaf as it whips across the park. A truly bonkers but excellent dog.

I can't post a photo as my dog is a local,celeb and has distinct features.

However, he's a golden retriever called Arthur. Three years ago we thought we were going to lose him, but he pulled through - another shout out to Langfords Vet Hospital. He was supposed to die the weekend he was admitted, had GI problems and was very I'll indeed.

He came home three days later and has been fighting since.

He's had other health problems since that emergency, but every time he bounces back. He's old now, nearly 14 and slow, but the will to live is strong and he shows no sign of giving into the inevitable.

He is our hero.

My partner fosters dogs and Arthur is always such a role model to them. He takes them under his wing and shows them how to act.

I've simply never met a living being like him. He is more human than so,e humans. He tells me to fuck off on a regular basis, but he is my hero.

meetbenson · 26/11/2023 20:35

Name changed as this could be very outing! This is Benson our 9 year old Finnish Lapphund. He hates being brushed, has zero and I mean zero recall, loves to bark at anything that moves on walks, eats anything in sight (the more disgusting the better) and leaves a trail of muddy footprints through the house every sodding day. He's more cat than dog but occasionally deigns to let us pat him.

But we love him and couldn't imagine life without him.

Sooky pants is also terrified of fireworks - which are still going on nightly where we live . We give him hemp oil every night and it really helps - he's still scared but no longer shakes and drools

houseneedscleaning · 26/11/2023 20:20

This is my 7 month old westiepoo, Martha. She's very naughty and very greedy. Will do anything for a piece of cheese

Stressedgiraffe · 26/11/2023 19:53

Giving this thread a bump to brighten up this dreary Sunday.

Here is Barry the rescue greyhound. He is my mum's dog and is an absolute sweetie (and idiot).

@Guiltyfeethavegotnorhythm0 that is beyond cute.

FloofCloud · 09/11/2023 03:44

This is Echo, she's a Samoyed and 18 months old. Bonkers pooch! Loves everyone and everything. She gets so much attention on the street and when she goes to take the kids to school she's got a line of kids waiting to hug her and she loves it!
Funny thing she does is plays in the garden with her ball on a rope, often whacks herself with the ball but still continues that game lol

Guiltyfeethavegotnorhythm0 · 09/11/2023 00:59

I'm sorry but after having a look through some photos my husband took I'm afraid I have to post this photo of my latest dog .

Spidey66 · 08/11/2023 00:09

After all the dog hating threads of late, this thread is a breath of fresh air. Us Mumsnetters have some beautiful canine friends. I know we seem to be a minority here, but while i can understand some people having a phobia of certain breeds, or if they've had a bad experience in the past, or not being keen due to allergies. But personally i adore dogs, while conceding being wary of pitbulls etc. But the majority of dogs are wonderful. My Maggie is such a pleasure. She can be taken anywhere and will behave perfectly. Kids love her. Just this evening walking the 7 min walk to the park. I had two toddlers saying ''MAGGIE!'' and wanting to say hi to her. (Obviously being a responsible owner I keep any interactions with toddlers very, very well supervised. She's a good dog but I'm not stupid either and the parents keep their child closely supervised too.)

Chere · 07/11/2023 20:43

New setup. Has he gone in it without being bribed? Not even once. Can’t say I’m surprised. Think he gets off on sleeping directly next to it.

FiveShelties · 07/11/2023 20:36

This is just the best thread ever. Thank you OP

vernatheraven · 07/11/2023 19:49

My two little princes.

WickedSerious · 07/11/2023 19:33

This is Scout,she hates fireworks and will be scared of the dark for the next three weeks.

SquashPenguin · 07/11/2023 19:31

I give you Princess Margaret of Haringey (or Maggie to you). She's lovely, funny, friendly and loyal and no, doghaters of MN, she ain't going anywhere (except maybe the park).

Two funny things about Maggie.

She is obsessed with washing machines and the whole business of doing washing. She squeals with excitement when she sees you with washing, tries to help you load it, watches it while it's on, then tries to help unload it and hang it on the line/clothes horse.

Her favourite game is bubbles and she chases them all over the park to pop them. This causes great amusement to children and she's got a fan club of children who want to play with her. She's very gentle and it's lovely to watch.

Maggie is the border collie. The pug is her friend Betty.

I love her so much xxx

Edited

Aww the washing machine story is so cute 🥰
