Can we have a dog thread?

Belly full of turkey and tinsel!

Belly rub addict.

Squirrel addict

Jake’s in Ireland with me: Dad, what you doing?

meanwhile at home. Cass has taken on some of his duties as food scrounger

Piemonster, that shaddow looks like something you should nuke from outerspace

One for you then @joshvegas

Strong Salvador Dali vibes there! Hahah

Working her ticket for some snacks.

Nice to have some sunshine for todays dog bike ride.

After a day out at the beach yesterday, we have been lazy in bed most of this morning.

Someone didn't get a crisp and is now sulking.

While her partner in grime found the perfect repose to go to sleep!

I thought he was smuggling tree baubles

Roxie continues in her quest to catch something. Anything. Sadly today she was awarded only the "participation badge" 🙂 Dogs love the snow tho even when it's only a dusting.

Yeah Jake’s decided the odd white stuff is the best thing ever.

Settling down after a skid around the back yard...

Catch!

The hound hasn't been that fussed for it this year. We've also had a couple of paw injuries that may have made her less than enthusiastic about the white stuff.

She has found her groove in front of the fire though.

Looking after me during a flat spot yesterday.

Mine went for his yearly MOT/vaccination/worming today, got told off by the vet as he needs to lose about half a kilo...which doesn't sound a lot, but his breed should only be about 7-7.5 kilos, so half a kilo is quite a lot for a small dog.

He's not going to like being put on a diet, the diet being me not giving him as many intra-meal treats.

My dog is literally my best friend, he's a little shit bag sometimes, but in an endeering way.

They’re definitely our best friends, Oscar and I are rarely apart now we go everywhere together.

We said goodbye to our dog this morning after just over 16 years (not bad for a spaniel). The vets were brilliant, and it was very calm and pain free, but one of the hardest things I've ever had to witness. We might have gone a few more days, or a week, or a month, but everything about him was failing.

It’s bloody hard @littlerob.  Thinking of you.

I wish I had given Milo some cheese on Wednesday - as he was wanting.  No doubt, he will also want some today.

You've got to pay the cheese tax jamj!

Sorry to hear that – we have a King Charles / Cocker cross and she has just turned nine. Yesterday she went to the vet again for x-rays and ultrasound scans as she has been unusually quiet for the last few months. Turns out it is arthritis in her spine and her heart is enlarged (we knew she had a murmur, but it has got a bit worse). She's now on four different sets of medication. Fortunately we have seen an improvement, but that's only because all the pain meds are masking the discomfort 🙁

Grace finally got spayed today after 2 failed attempts.
She is a bit tired still but already tried to catch a blackbird in the garden so think she will recover fast.

@littlerob I'm so sorry to hear that - it's a year (and 2 days) since we lost Barkley at 14, and I could still burst into tears about it even now, unfortunately you can expect the dog-shaped hole to last some while yet. By the same token, 16 is a damn good age for a spaniel, so well done on giving him all the love & life for that long.

Inthe meantime, Huey's made a new woolly friend this morning 

They were way to busy tearing around in the snow for a good picture.

Happy now in front of the fire

Max and Pete. Can anyone guess whereabouts this picture was taken (on Thursday)?

Surprised to find snow on the Southdowns. Dogs loved it

Recovering well and have given me an excuse to do very little today. As she needs some days rest.

Happy Willow realising we’re off picking up!

@temudgin Cool dog!  what breed is (he/she)?

This thread makes me want to get another dog.  Almost 2 years and I still miss the daft sod.

Not much snow left at the bottom of the southdowns - but still frosty

Club rides cancelled this morning due to ice risk so 17 of us and 2 dogs did a walk round the frozen trails. Quite enjoyed my 2/17 share of the dogs....

Six months old and a trip to the beach as a treat

That middle pic from susepic reminded that dogs don't look their best when shaking.

Bonnie - not shaking

Bonnie shaking:

This time with a comb-over - he got a little excited as my daughter arrived home after a morning shift.

Lola was sound asleep, but then the fridge door opened 🙂

10 minutes before "Bear fights Dog" 🙂

Kick the ball!

This scamp has noticeably put on weight over Christmas, not helped by snacks of toast and chicken etc between meals the last few days, so he's been on an unaccustomed 5 mile stroll this morning. Hopefully he'll sleep tonight and not insist on going out at 2am to check that the back garden is still where he left it. Little sod.

Puppy mayhem arriving Thursday 23rd January..... our wee "Roo" the Goldador..... (golden retriever and labrador cross)

Not interested in English Heritage rules, Stacey likes to do her own thing.

I'm absolutely smitten with Roo already!

@davy-g

Let the shedding start !

Gorgeous pup though

Anyone else get excited when they see a tuft on doggo thats going to come away in a single pluck?

@joshvegas - absolutely, I can not resist

@MoreCashThanDash...... here's one that was taken today.... 2 more days before she arrives....

Look at that face.

Pure concentrated slipper eating malice.

I have from now until end of April to figure out how to post photos as that's likely when our new puppy will be arriving.

Oh well, the house is never clean anyway.....

Pure concentrated slipper eating malice.

Evil personified.

@joshvegas & @sprootlet Could I interest you in Girl with the Dogs on YouTube if you don't know about her all ready? Vicarious tuft pulling viewing.

@sandwich

I already follow her on youtube 🙂

Oscar waiting for his pup cup.

Border terriers were already one of my favourite breeds. Thanks to Oscar, I'm now an even bigger fan.

They always look more graceful swimming than shaking…..

Rimini and Miller. Stadler and Waldorf springs to mind

Met this lovely girl at the Wolvo climbing wall last night. She's a 14 year old, one eyed, labradoodle, semi retired as an assistance dog to a young lady in a wheelchair. And she's the gentlest dog I've ever come across

Border terriers were already one of my favourite breeds. Thanks to Oscar, I’m now an even bigger fan.

Cheers. They’re incredible little dogs, extremely loyal, playful, mischievous and love people. Oscar is a very handsome chap though, he gets a lot of praise from breeders and BT owners.

@Drac he's a handsome chap.

Thank you. All dogs are great and there are some beauts on here.

He got is pup cup.

Rossi, the Unkle to our other two up there ^ At seven he’s the sensible one (ish)

The "i will stare at you until you put the ****ing mouse down and take me out for my walk" stare.

That covering is the worst covering for a hairy dog. Good job its her chair only.

A sensible start to address some of the dog ownership issues some have?

Collar is upside down. Come on man dog photos have standards too you know.

Signing a bit of paper to say you've thought about it? Really?

Lola is pretty insistent she isn't going out today.

Duggie the rescue experiencing his first pub visit

And below well he's not actually allowed on the sofa....

5 weeks in he's doing well.  I start professional training tomorrow.

Quality dog there. I wish Lola would be more affectionate. She will lie cloase and like to be in the room with you but none of this cuddle pup routine.

The "not allowed on the sofa" theory doesn't last very long does it!

Duggie is getting the hang of things well there! Big, warm dog cuddles are the best in wintertime.

A near perfect prawn.
