realise this is probably an American idea imported but it is such a nice idea to appreciate and admire our dog(s) for all they mean to us and how they make us feel Grin
my dog is wonderful and supportive and I love him to bits even though he is old and grey

Eric, he's naughty, drives me mad some days, thinks he can talk and I must be stupid if I don't know immediately what his noises mean but he is funny and gentle and is good company and adores us all which seems to more than make up for all of his mischief.

insanity I've often you talk about Eric, but never seen him - he's absolutely gorgeous!

Mollie lovely idea for a thread, your dog looks beautiful.

I don't have any current photos of the hellbeasts (except one DH took of ddog1 as she was killing a predator, lovely viewing that Hmm) but I'm enjoying the photos.

mollie123 · 26/08/2015 12:32

hope more of you will post photos of your lovely dogs - it is so nice to see them and hear how you feel about them
but then I am a bit (lot) of a dog lover Smile

This is Brock, he's a bit of a nightmare to own with various medical issues and complicated behavioural problems...but he's also very sweet, affectionate and funny.

This is him being scared of a dead sheep - how can you not love that wee worried face? Lol

It's great to be able to put faces to posts about dogs. I love Brock's worried face, Eric would have been in there rolling about at the sight of a dead sheep reveling in the aroma of dead and rotting, worried would be quite nice occasionally.

ARightOldPickle · 26/08/2015 13:12

Love seeing other people's dogs!

This is Molly, relaxing on 'her' bench in the garden. She's 17 months old, totally bonkers and makes us laugh everyday.

"Eric would have been in there rolling about at the sight of a dead sheep reveling in the aroma of dead and rotting"

That was pretty much the reaction I expected, especially as live sheep are pretty interesting... But no, I got 10 minutes of...but seriously mum, WTF is that? Lol

These are my monsters. Loli and Max! Just been round a local lake, chased the ducks, had a swim, eaten tea and now snoring loudly and smelly-ly on the sofa.

Oh best I'm sorry. RIP Paddy.

BlueBananas · 26/08/2015 20:19

Oooo I love a good show us your dog thread Smile
Oxford Bella is gorgeous!!

This is Minnie, she's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She's a right royal pain in my arse, she is like my shadow I'm constantly tripping over her and you can't do anything without her needing to be involved. She is clumsy and crazy and just desperate for love and affection constantly!
She stole my heart and I fear I'll never get it back Smile love her to pieces!

Best - so sorry about Paddy.

PacificDogwood · 26/08/2015 21:41

Oh, Best, how sad, so sorry Sad. He looks quite the distinguished gentleman in your picture.

This is our rescue greyhound, nn 'Crackers' because he's, well, crackers Grin
Does the most amazing hoolies round the garden, sleeps and farts the rest of the day.

I am dog-sitting for a week: a beautiful cocker spaniel called Chester.

He began the day by crapping in the garden (fine) and then eating it (vom!)

He then barked continuously until I took him for a walk, where he continued to bark at every opportunity.

He then rolled in deer shit...got up, looked me square in the eye and....rolled in it again. He smelt like death, death which got up and rolled in deer shit.

He continued to bark all the way home and throughout his entire hosing down shower in the garden.

An hour late my entire house smelt of deer shit. So he had a proper bath, with proper girly shampoo. He jumped out of the bath, naturally, and spatterd every wall between bathroom and kitchen.

I had to go and buy an emergency collar as his original, real leather one, is covered in crap and won't come clean in the sink.

Whilst in the shop, I found myself buying him a ball, some chews, some small biscuits for walks.

He is now lying on my lap snoring. I bloody love him!

DakotaFanny · 26/08/2015 21:50

Sorry Best

hellhasnofurylikeahungrywoman · 26/08/2015 21:56

My two hounds from hell, CopDog our little rescue came from Ireland where he was arrested for breaking and entering, he spent a night in the cells before being sent to the pound. His owners didn't want him back, they wanted him destroyed so he was signed over to a rescue centre there before being brought over to England.

Mollie, the collie, was abandoned before she was even born and we adopted her at 8 weeks old. She is now 15 months and is far too bloody clever for her own good.
