People call their dogs Steve or Colin?! :blink and hmm smilie:

 

We've got a beautiful long haired GSD, (Vinnie), looks a lot like this

 

 

 

He'll be 4 in September.

 

 

 

What's that about dogs and their owners?   

I love the 4th photo, i can't stop laughing at his face 

I don't know. You tell me!

 

EDIT: Everything ok there, VD?

Vinnie is beautiful Karma!!   Seriously fantastic looking dog! 

 

 

(& yeah..  people call their dogs Steve & Colin.   I know a dog called Dave too!)

I know!     It still cracks me up! 

I know a cat called Dave

 

*decamps to the cat thread*

They are all great, what a character 

Joke Karms 

 

I would NEVER have a go at you  

 

Possibly the only dog I'm afraid of though  

Cheers Dits x

So whatta you want?     A boy or a girl?

im gonna have a go at uploading pics of my pair of idle gits..I maybe a while

heres my bitch,

shes a bit tired on this one

oh hang on wrong pic

It was a joke Karma  

 

 

thats better

and heres my idle best mate

i think he's a bit 'simple'

we get on well

Aw pirate, they are class! how old? How did you choose them?!

       


We're hoping for a girl Ditty, but will happily take a boy if there isn't a girl available
We like the name Bramble

Awww..    There was a girl Jack Russell on our dog walking circuit called Brambles..    she was an old lady, and I haven't seen her for a while so I suspect she is no longer with us..   

 

I think I like Bramble..   better than Brambles..     

i got the first one the girl as a birthday present-cos i wanted a dog-OH said dont have a pup-go to the greyhound rescue centre-they let a few outta the cages-one of em came running up-licked me on the nose and smiled-proper smiled like a nutter!

we fell in love there and then

about a year after we got asked to foster a greyhound-so i let my dog choose-they bought out one-and she turned her nose up-then she followed this huge dopey dog-wouldnt leave his side-so we fostered him-and we kept him

if i had my way-id have loads the girl is 8

the boy is 9

i think

they are lovely pirate 

& yeah...  if I had my way I would have loads of dogs too.     

 

if I outlive MrD I am destined to be the mad dog lady of the village

One of my rare random LOL moments 

if we outlive our partners i think we should get together and be the 'mad people of the village' i also think we should bulk buy lottery tickets incase we win,so we can afford lots of dogs and be known as the 'said' title

thank you

and that 'smilie' really fills you with confidence doesnt it

ooh ta

Deal! 

Pirate, you crack me up.

Pirate it sounds like those dogs were just meant to find you great stories, there are so many greyhounds that need a home, you deserve a Mr summer had a lurcher for 15 years, unfortunately I never got to meet her because she died shortly before I met him. I hear she was fantastic though <3

I wonder if Stream is pregnant..? *tells self off* pack it in!

Same here, just seen now. 

 

How would you tell early on? 

I don't think you can Ev, i've got to just be patient and wait.. Which is hard when I think about my future dog constantly!

Summer..    you are gonna explode waiting!

 

I remember the wait we had to get AJ..    we first rang the breeder & was told they had a red brindle bitch, sired by a grey brindle (I wanted a red/grey brindle) pregnant at that time & to phone back in a fortnight to see if there had been any dogs in the litter (we wanted a boy).  That fortnight seemed like a year..   phoned exactly 14 days later, at 9am , Pippa, AJ's Mum had had 2 bitches & 1 dog (it was her first litter).   So I said save me the dog.

 

We were allowed up to see them 5 weeks later..   (another long long wait)..     and there they had got out about 15 dog puppies for us to look at.    AJ chose us!   And it was Pippa's boy as well...    he was the largest puppy systematically taking the toys away from the others & stashing them in the corner for himself..    when he saw us he barged his way past all the others and demanded our undivided attention.

 

Then came the even harder bit..   we gave the deposit money, but had to leave him there til he was 8 weeks old..   I went to say bye to him & he was back in his pen with his two sisters..   he had his head on his paws... & his sisters were walking (literally) all over him 

 

LONGEST 3 WEEK WAIT EVER!!!!!

 

Still..  gave us time to read every book going, buy every toy going, buy him about 3 beds etc etc etc.

 

The books all said "your puppy may be frightened & insecure when you first collect him to take him home"..   so we were all prepared..   we had a beany toy dog for him (which he still has, called Sprocket.. his special teddy)..    which had been kept in the dirty laundry basket for a fortnight (to make it smell like us apparently)...

 

we needen't have worried.     AJ didn't even look back!      there was nothing frightened about him.. he came home & had a kebab supper with us!   

 

 

Oh... & we met his Dad, Basil, when we picked him up.    A ball of hair he was..     he saw Pippa...  & the breeder had to pick him up quick sharpish as the dirty old boy was making a bee line for her..      so, I will always remember Basil as a ball of black hair.,.   with a bright red lipstick  sticking out from the middle! 

 

 

 

Oh &..   Summer..     find out where your local puppy school classes are!      It really is well worth doing (they are usually 1 night a week for about 12 weeks)
