@theomen the easiest way is to use imgur to upload your photo. Go to imgur and in the top left click 'new post' and drag and drop or navigate to your image. Then on the next page click on the three dots (ellipsis) and choose Get share links. Copy the BBcode and paste it straight into your message.

@ebygomm are you giving her a mental workout too? Should help with the sleeping.
She'll sleep all night 10pm to 8am if she's in with us, just not on her own. And that's following a 2 hour evening snooze on the sofa.
She does plenty of brain work too, as she is a broken lab a lot of her food has to be in a puzzle feeder before she'll eat it! We also do lots of find it games and gundog training. Overnight sleeping has just always been a struggle if we're not right there with her.
She generally looks like this after gundog training
Struggle to post so here's me enjoying a quiet seat.
There are some cracking photos here! How do you actually post pictures on this site??

Instagram posting no longer works I'm afraid, it was nice while it lasted though eh!
A separation anxiety thing then? That's outside my experience, all of ours have been happy to sleep alone. One took a while to connect with the humans as he had been ignored for a couple of years before we got him.
She'd been hunting.
Abbi and Poppy, 5 year old rescues from Dog's Trust
If you do think separation anxiety could be festering take a look at This article, about 2/3rds of the way down is a flitting game which many owners currently recommend.
I don't really think it is separation anxiety, we don't have any issues in the daytime. Can go from room to room, go upstairs, out the door to the bin without her following, getting upset etc. And she generally will go to sleep downstairs, she just won't often sleep all night on her own. Must have read my threat of free to a good home because of course she slept downstairs on her own all night last night 🙂
That's a result! Try it again tonight and report back. 🙂
Definitely a day for the dry suits

@superfli She's lovely and about ready for the odd short bike ride. The multi-colour is unusual as the breeders have in the past euthanised the puppies with more than one colour.
Dam you all, this thread is not helping in resisting a doggie companion.
Blue whippet and Saluki x Greyhound. The boy is 13, she is 2yr old.
Her favourite place, in the field playing ball.
His favourite place, snoozing on the sofa!
We don't deserve dogs..
Couple from yesterday, afternoon snooze from when all the humans went out for food and one when he captured me on return.. 🤪

@ebygomm
It may be time for earplugs for you both while your hound learns to sleep alone downstairs.
This may be a long haul thing similar to babies! (You're all ready doing all the exercise and mental stimulus, next thing would be behaviour training. DM if you want some pointers as my sister can give me some suggestions for people to approach in your neighbourhood).
Thanks @sandwich the mum and dad were both black spots (both owned by the breeders) it's odd she has some liver spots on her head! I do wish she had a few more spots like your lovely dally though. She loves a cycle or a run😁, and runs around licking people's faces at my bootcamp lol!

This is Beti, a Hungarian rescue dog that we've now had for over a year. Happiest chasing squirrels in the woods. Have tried taking her riding but last time she buggered off and was found 5km away sat waiting by the van. I trail run with her most days.
She really is great.
Bah
Up a local hill for dawn and a sausage butty. Dave enjoys both although sausages appeal more.

This is where we got Beti from. A great charity rescuing some fantastic dogs. To see our Beti (who had a tough start to life) under the duvet, in my spot, snoring away warms even this grumpy old sods heart.
@piemonster oooo a HWV owner! We're on a breeders list to get a pup in April/May. Do you love him/her?
I would have loved a vizsla, wirehaired or smooth but decided they might have been too much for a first dog

Meet Joe, the Lab who finds the biggest sticks he can to lug through the woods… As his human, part of the job is to help him fit down narrow paths and between trees 🙄😂
I think it must be a lab thing as the one I watch on a Tuesday and when her owners are away does exactly the same thing, it's flippin' hilarious!
It is, for a while, then starts to mess up a walk as it takes ages! I find myself questioning my life as I yet again help him fit through a gap or through a gate with a 6 foot stick! Numpty! But I love him!!
Yes, absolutely, he’s an amazing companion. The first 8-12 months were hard graft but nothing unexpected. Very much my best friend. I don’t think he’s been further than 10 feet away for some time now.
He is “needier” than other dogs I’ve had, but they’ve been in different setting (family dogs) so that might be a bit more focused with just two of us here. Not really ridden with him much, generally it’s Fell/Trail Running.
Yeah they're known to be quite 'needy' dogs, the wirehaired supposedly a little less so as the GWP which was added to the mix eased this a little. It'll certainly be something I'll be paying attention to from day one as I've had a boxer with separation anxiety before and it wasn't pleasant for all involved.
I reckon he’s good for 2hrs left alone, that’s based on a webcam and the manner of greeting we get, less than that and he’ll just be asleep, more than that an he’s grabbed my arm and doesn’t want to let go generally being a bit too enthusiastic/worried. That assumes he’s had an activity beforehand.
We do get longer windows than that, but only in the evenings when he’s normally asleep post meal time anyway. Most of the time he’s pretty relaxed, but then, I ran him for 10 miles XC yesterday, 11 on the hills today. He’s usually gets two full days out a week, loads of time with other dogs (the cat is crap company).
Collection day, nervous Pup
