My gorgeous boy is just the best boy, he jumps up next to me and snuggles and does little contented sighs.
If he has a chew he gets on the sofa waiting for me to tell him to get in his bed.
He's scared of doors.
He loves being chased.
He will do the biggest puppy eyes for marmite toast.

She's a GSD cross and has the sweetest heart of gold.

She's extremely gentle with our three cats and never retaliates when they give her a swipe (even when one got a claw stuck in her eyebrow...she just looked at me and cried with the cat hanging off her!)

She's scared of anything unexpected...this has included...

  • A birthday balloon
  • A mushroom growing out of PILs lawn
  • Anything that moves even slightly in the wind

When I was sitting at my desk, very upset after a work call in a very stressful job last year, she got up on her hind legs and put one paw on each of my shoulders like a hug and licked up my tears! 😭

She's also BFFs with our boy cat 😻

Sorry everyone, you’re all mistaken as my dog is the best dog in the world 😂.

I don’t know where to start with the cutest things he does but when I get home from work he snuggles his face into my chest to say he’s glad I’m home.
He has a huge bark when he needs it but when people come to the door he only whisper barks and doesn’t scare anyone.
When DH gives me a hug he gets between us and pokes DH in the balls with his nose to say “get off my mum”.
If I cry, he licks my tears away 🥰.
All of our friends’ kids love him and he lets them “ride” him round the house (they don’t sit on him of course, just stand over him and pretend).

Here he is “helping” me with my work!

How do you teach a whisper bark?
My boy does like to loudly let me know if someone's approaching the house!

Mine does the running away when his harness comes out, we have to say bye bye and pretend to shut the door then hr comes and sits nicely to have it put on.

Dogs really are the best, I'd never had one before and we all adore him.

Ha ha pixie does that too!

Superdupes · 02/07/2023 18:19

I'm dog sitting a gorgeous girl right now. If she thinks I'm getting her routine wrong she will find a sock wherever she can and come and shake it at me. Unfortunately her inner clock is a little bit off but it's absolutely hilarious.

I don’t know I think he’s just too polite to do a full bark. It makes us laugh though as he might as well not bother and his real bark is so loud and deep 😂.

shadowchancesassy · 02/07/2023 21:35

Mine loves to go for walks but not any walk. If I get his lead and say we're going for a walk he won't get out of his bed, if I say we're going for a car walk he's all enthusiastic about it. Basically if it's a walk around the streets he's not interested but if we're going in the car it means we're going to the woods on an adventure 🙄

I thought of some more things.
His sixth sense just now when I was stripping a chicken, the biggest puppy dog eyes! (He got quite a few bits!)
And I have to call both his meals breakfast cos he can understand breakfast but not tea or dinner!

I hope hundreds of people respond to this thread. All your dogs are beautiful.

my dog has been ill from a young age (managed) and is quite hard going but she’s taught me to be patient, she looks to me for everything and has complete trust in me. I love her so much.

ComeOnThenFanny · 02/07/2023 22:29

Here are my two beautiful girls 🥰
They are very cuddly, and they sleep in bed with me. I can't tell you the joy they bring me when I wake up and see their happy faces and waggy tails. They're both full of beans all the time, and they read my mood so well.

We lost our big boy just over a year ago, and we were devastated. I didn't think I could do it again, but the house felt so empty without a dog, I couldn't resist any longer. They rescued me really, rather than the other way around. I love them so much.

My beautiful little blanket stealer is just the most snuggly little thing. She barked at me this morning until I sat on the sofa so she could have her regular morning cuddles. Couldn't say no to her so the cleaning will have to wait!

I want to snuggle all your dogs! Although mine wouldn't like that, he gets a bit possessive!

He gets just as much enjoyment from a man lobbing his ball across the field to a tidlar barely throwing it past their feet

certainshepherdpups · 03/07/2023 16:45

My dog loves to watch birds. Also rabbits and other animals. He doesn't chase them, he just enjoys watching them.

He definitely prefers it if everybody in the house is in one room. He's a herding breed, so he likes his flock to stay together. If someone is upstairs and others are downstairs, he tends to position himself halfway between the various groups, either at the top or the bottom of the stairs. Or he takes turns spending time with everybody.

He's a wonderful dog, we absolutely adore him.

Tunnocksmallow · 03/07/2023 16:53

My boy is amazing because I got him when he was 2. He instantly became our missing family member.
I love him and owe him more than I could ever give him because: he saved my son with his love and cuddles when DS had a breakdown and suicidal. I didn’t know how to help him. The dog did.

I have a chronic illness, and hen I’m ill and bedbound for days, he doesn’t leave my side except for a wee and food. I call him my Dr.

He loves the neighbourhood kids and just sits and lets them cuddle him.

in the evenings we sit together watching tv and have a snack.
I love him so much. He’s now 12, but I don’t like to think about that.
