That's a cracking shot.

6 o'clock this morning in local park. He'd spotted something in the distance so kept still long enough for me to move round him.
A few more

Some meat products are more sacred than others, that is a votive offering to the family/dog!
Just settling in for an avo kip
Lola has finally seen he hedgehog. Much confusion, much false pouncing, as far asi can tell no actual contact made. But **** me i know how taylor swifts bodyguard feels.
Hedgehog is fine, gave it the once over fit and healthy, no fleas or ticks either, atleast no in any significant quantity. Still haven't been forgiven for extracting it from harms way.
Lola (our lab) barks at the hedgehog, sniffs it and then runs away 🙂
Roxie is getting close to fully grown. Still a pup in her head tho 😉 She's bigger than Lola now but not quite as fast yet and definitely not as proficient in the art of 'poovering' up the local cow and rabbit waste products. She's started to swim a bit now as well.
Our withdrawn guide dog (for lead reactivity) was amazingly well behaved on our morning walk today :). Not a single reaction to any dogs (and we saw lots).
Right until we came across horses in a field. He got through the fence and had a stand off staring competition with them. Luckily for us they just stood and looked at him, when he decided he'd won he came hotfooting it back to us but it was a heart in the mouth moment. He's on a lead if we have that situation again 🙁
Chewie needs a good haircut - how does he see where he is going?
Anyhow, Henry is back from his holidays. Holes have been dug, seaguls chased and many an arse sniffed.

lol - Booked for Tuesday. Longer than usual due to having his balls removed recently! I’ve trimmed round his eyes but he’d just finished rubbing his face in the woodchips when I took the photo.

Maybe I should have gone for the full bollokectomy rather than just having the snip a few years ago if that's a benefit. 
No cone of shame for you human!
Oscar testing out our motorhome.
Morning Bert walk, “it’s MY frisbee!”
Barney is partial to a frisbee, we bought him a rubber Kong frisbee in the end as he ruins them, so far it seems to be Barney proof
He wants you to throw it, but he's not keen on letting go of it first 😀
Roxie had a busy day. Mostly digging up the garden 😉

Both mine do that. I keep telling them "The RETRIEVER in your name is some kind of clue" but they just look at me and then run off with whatever they've just fetched.
Nominative determination fail!
Mostly digging up the garden 😉
our previous retriever Rosie was a digger…. It was always in places where you didn’t really need yet another hole
Yes the Lab will always be up for a bit of "hole extension" but has never been a primary digger. However "Digger McTrowel Snout" is reverse mole-ing great swaths of the garden if we don't catch her. And she's also the 'destroyer of plant pots' and 'devourer of cut grass'
On the mole front we've had a really keen little so and so erupting multiple times in a week. Lawn was starting to look like it'd been bombed. Clearly moley poked his head out once too often as we found him warm but dead on the lawn. Both dogs looks guilty, neither admitted to the murder charge!
To be fair, retrievers look guilty even when they haven't done anything 😀
our dog now has to wear goggles when outside. People cross the road to ask about them, rather than to avoid the scary dog, which is a definite bonus.
Well, Mrs F took Chewie to a different groomers as the usual one is expensive and I take about nine hours to trim him. She asked them to trim around his eyes, feet and bits. Leaving the rest longer and just giving him a tidy up and wash. Under no circumstances do we ever want to have a normal Poodle cut. This is reserved as a threat to Chewie when he does something crazy.
This is what she brought back home. Some Shaun the Sheep looking mother****er! I won’t be walking him in the daylight for the foreseeable and we all can’t stop laughing at him.
This is normal Chewie for reference ?
Looks like I'm joining your ranks: we're going to foster a guide dog from next month. Can't wait!
Visited a new dog field this weekend, 4.7 acres of open field and woodland.
The hounds preferred the sandpit!
Are you puppy raising or boarding for guide dogs?
We've loved doing it but it has meant we are now dog parents to Herbert who didn't make the grade. We've been incredibly lucky with our puppy adviser and local group. Exciting times ahead and looking forward to updates
Are you puppy raising or boarding for guide dogs?
The latter. We look after the dog evenings and weekends.
Frankie and his stick du jour:
OOOHHHH! A dog thread! Prepare for Toby spam!!!
Can we share videos on here or is that a step too far for the STW hamsters at the moment?
Upload them to imgur and share them. Seemed to work when i did it.
This is what she brought back home.
Oh dear. ?
If you trim his head shorter he will look a lot more balanced, The chief dog servant in our house prefers Henry short, about the same length as Chewie's body. You're not fixing them feet though, they are weird.
Anyone else use the boomer with a herder?? He loves it, a bit too much sometimes. I think he would just go until he collapsed if I let him
