Top thread! Keep ’em coming. I sooooo badly want a dog!

Somafunk, is that a “feminine” suit of armout / poker holder-thing?!!

I have a dog called Dave! I also have a Max. I have no fire tho 🙁

Not a fan of ‘Metropolis’, then?

Top marks to ScottChegg, go straight to the top of the class. 😀

oneoneorange : Nah, the suit of armour is in the hallway and it certainly ain’t female – not if the size of the codpiece is anything to go by 😉 , The small statue is a publicity item made for the original Fritz Lang film and is modelled on the main female protagonist “Maria” or rather her robot double in the film, it’s cast in solid bronze with a dull/metallic finish and weighs an absolute ton, utterly impossible to move unless you have a hydraulic sack trolley and even then it’s a hernia accident waiting to happen.

Managed to find one in front of a fireplace.

I have serious fireplace envy.

Does nearly everyone live on STW live in an idyllic cottage?

More doggy pics,

This is “Lennon”, german pointer father of pups as posted earlier, and yeah – he was named after John Lennon

This is Thistle, mother of pups exhibiting the sort of behaviour that got her “pupped” in the first place

This is all 7 of the pups in the kitchen, they only kept two, all the others went to their relatively close neighbours

This is Dexter, one of the pups that was kept.

I’ve got literally hundreds of pics of all 5 dogs, there’s “Magick – Spaniel”, “Thistle – Spaniel”, “Lennon – German Pointer”, “Monty – Spointer” and “Dexter – Spointer”

This is my dog, (kind of,) he’s an ex gf’s but we both look after him.

The day we drove to collect him (toby)

Toby now, 5 yrs old, a Jack Russell/Collie/Small Bullock cross breed who loves bike runs but with 4″ long legs he can’t run very far.

I wish we did live here, but was a cottage we rented by Coed Y Brennin for a week in september – any fire place I see now just doesn’t quite cut the mustard. I could stand up inside it and I’m 6’4″.

Alfie looks guilty?, what’s he done or does he just have an unfortunate guilty expression? 😛

No not guilty , Just can I get back to the sofa now .

Alas, my photo wasn’t taken in our house, but in a brilliant cottage in Llandegla.

My OH is self employed and works from home, she had to work in the mornings during the week we had off. So took desktop, monitor etc hardwired into router and worked fine.

Dogs by fires is all very sweet.

But here is a cat on a bike:

And he’s even found a hipster to pedal it for him.

Sorry for spoiling the party here.

I have been watching this thread and couldn’t bring myself to post a picture. We lost our nearly 16 year old dog yesterday. The house felt empty as she was always there in front of the fire (when not pestering for food).

Anyway our five year old daughter drew a picture of Belle and put it in front of the fire where she lay.

I was doing well at work until I wrote this

Bit dusty in here…

That’s very sad. Sorry for your loss.

that is epically sad.

puppy time!

We have just found out that our next door neighbours came home with four border collie pups last night. The farmers dog passed away and they are only two days old. They are being bottle fed around the clock. It is a very tricky time for those pups but I can see which way this is headed.

Billy is now laid on my feet in my office, don’t think I could part with him now!

i really want a dog now….
