Really missing my old lad. Without a dog for 13 years and counting.
I think it might be getting to us.
Only 11 months until retirement and these imposters can be replaced with the genuine article...
Not quite the same is it.

Hopefully soon. I honestly cannot imagine my life without dogs in it. Main issue is I'm rather too happy to stay home with them all the time!

I said I’d not have another after losing my last dog.
Broke my heart.
But the house was awful without a dog in it.

I just keep coming back to the fact that the pleasure they bring every day outweighs the heartache. I'm at the stage when a picture pops up of Barley that I can smile rather than cry. They're all so unique and I miss his presence. He was our most challenging rescue and that brought a lot of reward.
We had one of these Door stops, Rupert decided to kill it one evening while we were watching TV. full of sand which was everywhereReally missing my old lad. Without a dog for 13 years and counting.

Though we only had our last two as recue Kayleigh since she was 10 month and Baldrick 5 years when we got them, they were everything to us. Kayleigh was very fond of my wife and stuck to here like glue. Baldrick was very much my best friend he would love to go everywhere with me and was pretty much with me the rest of his life, with the exception of a few days here and there. he loved going to golf and was a supreme ball hunter.
Rupert is 7 now and it only feels like yesterday we picked him up as a puppy. losing the others was hard, i shudder to think how we will feel when its time for Rupert to leave us.

Reminds me of the first night Frank arrived. He was very nervous and went to somewhere he felt safe.Really missing my old lad. Without a dog for 13 years and counting.

Proper rescue dag. My kind of hound.
Barney, settled in really well, he absolutely loves my youngest boy Rory, they are almost inseparable, always cry’s when he goes to school, then all over him like a rash as soon as he is in the door

That's so lovely. I always feel so sorry for kids that are terrified of dogs. Often feeding of their parent's fear I think...

Not that I'm thinking of getting one, but out of interest how long do they typically live?

Males live 5-10 years and females live 20-25 years. You can only tell what sex they are after they have shed their skin and then you examine their 'bits' under a microscope. As we have had Silky for 13+ years, we are presuming she is a she (but not 100% sure)

OK thanks. Interesting the difference in expected lifespan.Males live 5-10 years and females live 20-25 years. You can only tell what sex they are after they have shed their skin and then you examine their 'bits' under a microscope. As we have had Silky for 13+ years, we are presuming she is a she (but not 100% sure)
Is it that male expectancy is reduced by females' "post-coital dining arrangements"? (Or is that only black widows?)
