Can we have a dog thread?

The elite ‘cheese dog’ team lie in wait for any dairy products falling off the counter. The cheese tax must be paid!

Those mushrooms are strong stuff! I’m hallucinating a tiny dog on one….

Today it’s raining so I am not moving……

Ditto.

Jake found a cow pat. Jake was happy. Daddy found the baby shampoo. Jake was sad.

Yeah we have to (warm water) hose down the ‘white grizzly’ most days. Every 3 of 4 we get the dog shampoo out. She looks/smells great then. For about 10 minutes into the next walk where she enthusiastically dive bombs the biggest mud swamp she can find. Reminds me of our old Lab who we once carried upstairs and tried to bath. Never tried that again 🙂

Roxie has a new dog blanket. She’s been using Lola’s but she’s outgrown it as you can see. When we put Lola in the XL version of the one she has, it’s basically a tent! As we mostly drive a few miles to meet our friends/other dog walkers most days, these things are brilliant at keeping the car a bit cleaner, and the dogs seem to like them as well. Colour chosen as it was cheapest one in the sale in the Hereford pet shop, as its going to be brown by this time tomorrow anyway!

Heading to the pub for sundowners and cheese & onion treats ….

Oscar made a new friend last night.

Pub dog, foot pillow.

Fun was had by the look of that

I think this picture speaks for itself.

I’m dog sitting today, she normally stays with me but she wandered off. Found her lying in the sun. She doesn’t normally go on the settee even when I’m there .

@anono – yeah we’ve got one like that 🙂

Walked with two 7 month old male labs yesterday. They were quite boisterous:) Roxie ran away to start with, but then took them down one by one when she realised she’s about 5kg heavier 🙂

Dog*

*Some assembly required.

The winter duvet is in the bed, the burrowing slug is absolutely rinsing the hell out of naps now.

I like this as it shows clean teef. Which makes me very happy, shows the level of trust we have that she lets me get in there with the tartare remover and scrap the crap out.

Good looking teef there! We use dental chews knowing they are just marketing guff, so end up with the dog toothbrush which sometimes goes well, but mostly goes into the garden as either or both mutts steal the brush and go and bury it somewhere 🙂

🙂 Very much so. Sadly the brain was not included in the kit. Currently sharing Lola’s single braincell!

Cross posting from the not putting the heating on thread….some disagreement with current thermostat settings

Spot your own dog – Roxie with her sister, brother and mum. You can always tell ours tho as she’s the dirtiest!

At the bottom of p15, Huey was just starting his fortnight in Fife, and here we are already not far off going home in a couple of days. So I got him out on the rocks as the tide was coming in this morning:-

In the meantime, he’s had lots of admirers in all the touristy shops in St Andrews this afternoon. And now he’s knackered, spark out flat in his bed for the evening.

Autumnal murderous intent.

Son has a new job up in Cawdor so we went to explore the “Secret Beach” at Nairn. Willow and Tod loving he empty beach. Not enough space for Buck so I’ll post him separately.

Howling with glee as iPhone photo look up is suggesting Tod may not be the Labrador we thought he was…

The only subject that will sit still long enough for me to work ancient film camera! Lola on Lee Penn.

On holiday and the first visit to a beach was a good one. Lunan Bay was beautiful and Kiwi dipped her toes in the water at least.

Jesus, have you hooked kiwi up to a kite?!

Ghost dog walker?

Willow loving the woods around Cawdor. Daughter in law has named them “Tick Woods” with good reason. I took six off Willow after the walk, and found one in my beard later.

I give you ” Schrödinger’s Retriever” – both ON and OFF the sofa at the same time. Sometimes she’ll stay like this for a few minutes. Starting to wonder if we dropped her on her head as a small pup 🙂

Oscar sporting his Halloween bandana whilst at the pub.

Kiwi is on the dreaded retractable lead. Sadly her recall when faced with something as exciting as a wide open beach isn’t there yet!

our Labrador does the Schrödinger thing too! Both getting on and off the sofa!

Away for the weekend to avoid the fireworks. Staying in a lovely property on the Capheaton estate, our neighbours are doing the same, they also have a Greyhound.

Stacey is knackered from the Uber zoomies she’s had. Getting her to the pub might be an effort tonight.

In Mauritius which has a rep for stray dogs. They’re everywhere but not in numbers, mostly individual. In the resorts, on the beaches and out and about on the streets. They’re absolutely no bother, don’t approach you and there’s no dog shit anywhere. Which makes me think there’s nowt wrong with dogs, just the humans attached to them.

Lola is an ex street dog and generally she a wee darling.

Unless you wre a female dog, then she will try to murderdeathkill you.

are we there yet?

Happy “birthday” to this big dude!

(he’s a rescue so we have no idea when his actual birthday is, or how old he is)

The moose survived about 4 minutes ?

Watching for heathens North of the wall

This house is missing a full loaf of lemon drizzle cake.

I wonder where it went…

We did some play whilst on the walk, it was a quiet evening.
