"Well I never. I believe I bought some oven gloves off you a couple of weeks ago."
Me personally or the Mrs?
Which oven gloves?
Causing absolute chaos. Won’t someone think of the dog hatez.
Seconds after posting that another dog walked past and growled at him. Oscar wasn’t happy.
He was told off and is now sat quiet.
Brave dog growling at the dog equivalent of a Border Reiver!
Haha!
Yeah you don’t pick a fight with something that won’t give up.
Lola loves swimming, she's also strangely interested in finding what's in the bottom of a bucket 🙂
No toy survives first contact with the Labrador. Yes that is our lawn, it was feb last year and the builders had been trampling over it for about two months. It doesn't look much better now to be fair 😉

Wilbur, loves both dog friendly Michelin star restaurants, and a day in the mountains.
New coaster arrived in the shop today.

Wow thats cute benz!
My mums shih tzu cross bichon frisé had pups a week or so ago. Tiniest things I've ever seen. This was 3 days old.
A dog has the same annual environmental impact as a Toyota Land Cruiser. You can’t purport to care one bit about the environment and own a dog.
They’re completely irrelevant in modern society and a waste of the world’s resources in a climate crisis. They are also a pain for people who don’t have dogs.
Looking back at that pragmatically:
1) It's already been pointed out that it's closer to a low mileage city car than a land cruiser
2) It probably means the owners will go on less / fewer / no overseas holidays for the next 14 years or so, which saves the dogs carbon footprint each time, per person on a trip to the Med. So for a family of four that's a reduction in their footprint of ~2.25t/year.

Spud (not ours, we were dog-sitting) think's he's a better use of a carbon footprint than a Daewoo Matiz.

Slight detour but... all those morons that got dogs during lockdown and then gave them up when they had to go back into the office (as was staggeringly obvious and predictable) should be ashamed for being so cruel and dumb.

To be fair, a Landcruiser is better use of a carbon footprint than a Daewoo Matiz
Sandy is lovely.
We lost our wonderful little Flo a couple of years ago now and I miss her everyday. She was great company while working from home, pretty much just me and her everyday day, from 8 ‘till 4. She would sleep at my feet and wake at 11 for a coffee ( for me) and snacks ( for her) and we would enjoy a lunchtime power walk most everyday.
We will get another dog in the future, when we circumstances change again and we can commit fully to looking after it. Some lovely dogs on here.
I think dog people know dog people, and I hope that those people walking their dogs don’t think it’s weird that I can’t help but smile when I see a happy dog out for a walk.

Depends, do you need to get around a 1st world country but pathologically object to public transport.
Or make jokes about driving Land-Rovers in the outback and compensate for something?

Still can’t understand the ‘no place in a modern world’ argument. There are a shit tonne of people globally who work with dogs. They perform some fantastic tasks on a daily basis. What are the Land Cruiser brigade proposing they are replaced with? Angry comments backed up with no facts perhaps? One of them there robots from Boston Dynamics? A miserable human?
Dogs are ****ing brilliant.
Let's push past it.
Yesterday I dropped an olive. The four legged dysonsnaffled it.
Then immediately dropped it looking confused. Then tried it again. And spat it out. Then walked away. Then came back uncertainly and tried it again. And then dropped it again.
She must have attempted to eat it 5 times before finally giving up.
That’s another dog benefit! Not having to pick up dropped food! Just call the dog and problem solved.
Seems like the appropriate place to post this news story. No wonder he's smiling in the picture. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-68779132
And the water saved by a canine powered pre-dishwasher "rinse"?

This is Hope, another foster. Absolute sweetheart of a Staffy pup. I was very fortunate that I had an ops job which was static for a couple of years and a boss that fully supported the pups in work to help with their socialisation and confidence.

I am pretty sure Lola will go out one of two ways.
Old age
Or
Dishwasher decapitation.
Yes that is our lawn,
Where, behind the hedge? 😉
@mattyfez That first picture looks like it's your round.

Dogs are awesome! I don't have one because I don't want to deal with their revolting turds. Still great though, truly mans best friend.

Danny - rescue mutt from Taiwan. Not the greatest fan of other dogs but loves people (and snow). He's also found lots of "secret" mountain bike trails 😄
@joshvegas - I have a former street dog, olives, no problem. Citrus or banana, nope, spinach nope, anything else goes in fine though!
Yeah Lola is a street dog.
Jalapenos and gherkins... Straight from the jar please.
Sugar snaps... Blanched only
Nae salad nae fruit.
Stubby giving it the "really" eyeroll

We had two cockers for the last few years, as seen at Christmas just gone
Sadly we lost the black and tan one just a week into the New Year at the ripe age of 14 and a bit, which leaves Huey on his tod 😪
Oh my. What a beaut.
My only sadness with the fostering is not knowing how they got on.
Dog = zero food waste
I have proof
@zippykona That coaster does not reflect me and the dog I resisted getting for years. Not at all. No way.

@vlad_the_invader, how bad is your handsome hound with other dogs?. Lola wasn't great at meeting others, never really a distance issue just would get close then pabic. We had a massive improvement with a scent class. In a room with other dogs and a job to do she has improved dramatically with just ignoring them. And other much worse dogs in the class have settled down very quickly.
She's now a bit of a stooge, we help other people as she doesn't (and never has) react to being barked at so we can walk past and provide a controlled opportunity for training other pups.
