Your Dog

Best. Thread. Ever.

Love dogs, although don't have one myself. Please keep the pictures coming!
 
My beloved Staffie Diesel. In these he was about 4 just after we got him as a rescue. At 14 I had to have to let to sleep as he had hip dysplacia and canine dementia. The visit to the vets was the only time he wagged his tail in the vets.
It's now just over 2 years since he went, and boy do I miss him
As you can see, he liked Utd as much as I do;), and yes he'd had that ball for 5 minutes

Great thread. We have a 10 yr old Border terrier. She is gorgeous. They say dogs eyes look right into your soul. I know what they mean.
As a young man, I used to think dogs were just tubes of poo, but now I know better.
I cannot imagine being without her,
She gives me such contentment. Each time I come home, ....It's just wonderful.
 
Mine wearing his purple poppy to remember the animals that served during war time. Walking him in the woods near me whilst listening to podcasts keeps me sane in an increasingly mad world. Genuinely do think it improves my mental health.

Totally agree about helping you mental health wise. Nothing better than taking the dog out for an hour or 2 and just forgetting about problems or running through things while out and about, put things into perspective and then get back to the family madness.

Big believer in this. I think walking in general does this but to do it with a dog as well somehow makes it less hard work and more pleasurable.
 
For some reason the file is too large! Anyway, my black lab, Millie, is 3 and has beencoming to golf with me since she was 6 months. She is attached to the trolley by her lead, she walks round, sits while we put out and doesn’t make any noise whatsoever. When we go on holiday, I ring a number of the local courses to see which ones allow dogs - quite a number do. My wife also plays so we tend to play most days on holiday. I have an old AA golf course guide book ( they don’t print them any more) and I mark in there which ones allow dogs. Last summer we were in Northumberland and played all the following dog friendly courses : Alnmouth, Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh, Seahouses, Eyemouth and Hirsel (Coldstream) Great time!
 
Here are the dogs on the farm. Top left was mine, the others are my eX’s family dogs.

And how long did it take to get them all sat like that... :LOL:

Enjoying this thread, haven't had one since I was a kid, and would like to have another but as we both work we don't think it's fair to a dog to leave it alone all day.

They are all working dogs so are incredibly well trained (not my doing) so was all done in one take. They just ran out when they saw me coming then sat down when told to. The treats in my hand definitely helped though ha
