Can we have a dog thread?

The hound attempted a run-on landing at whilst still pulling power. It didn’t as planned.

She’s fine, walked off the booboo and humiliation.

Greyhound attempts run-on landing 

That did not go to plan (I think we all done similar tbf)

Terrible photo, but he did seem awfy pleased to be given that carrot.

@relapsed_mandalorian that’s a great video looks confused.

Quick look round to see if anyone saw that, nope, never happened 😀

Barney sometimes ends up in a heap running across undulating fields or on a beach. He likes running and bouncing around in long grass too, which is fine until the ground disappears and rolls down a bank.

Not much running about this weekend though, more lying about and enjoying the sun.

Bert helping out with a spannering session!

Who moved the Porsche to make the dog look stupid?

Oscar enjoying the fire pit table.

Woks up dog.

Geoff with wood

He’s never happier than when he’s at the beach

Nice Lab.

Here’s my proud hound Buddy after coming 2nd in the Goldrush canicross at Coed y Brenin on Saturday

Buddy looks so proud of himself.

I quite fancy canicross. Not sure if Lola would though. Not one for pulling at all. Flopping to the ground for street chip consumption rather stops all forward moment.

Ours looking like a proper dog

And how he normally looks

What flavour Jeffl?

Pup (Roxi) getting noticeably bigger (and heavier). Settled in well.

Lola still not 100% convinced a second dog is a good idea, but she’s starting to play with Roxi a bit. Until the pup bites her ear/tail/leg after which the ‘get away from me fool’ growl is deployed 🙂

Not mine and he’s a 4 week old “Toller”. Looking forward to pet-sitting duties.

Loved a dog as a kid, would like another, my kids would also like one, but I’m a realist and know that most of the dog care would fall to me and I just don’t have the time that a dog would deserve.

As for encounters with dogs of late, vast majority have been fine, some good, there has been the odd ankle biter who thinks that I’m some sort of threat that must be chased and barked at but no real issues.

In the past I’ve had plenty more negative encounters, especially when on the bike but I reckon that these were younger dogs from the covid boom, now all much older and more relaxed.

I do wish that dog owners would be a bit more empathetic to others who do not like dogs, and don’t let their dog approach strangers (even playfullly) who may have a genuine fear of dogs.

Nice photos and stories on here.

Here’s another Roksy…..not a morning girl…always pops down to say hello while the kettle’s boiling, and then back upstairs and hijacks the warm spot someone’s left behind

And now it’s summer, shoes must be taken into the garden….

Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever !!

Nice photo

He is indeed @ElShalimo!

There’s a bloke we run into occasionally on Marsden Moor with 2 of them. Lovely dogs

@joshvegas not entirely sure as he’s a rescue. Although we think a mixture of collie and lab.

Oh and lots of stupid as well 🤣

He does have that look about him. Really similar in lots orlf respects to lola, i wondered if he was a rommie rescue!

Handsome laddie.

Yeah he was imported from Romania 😀

Aha! Curly bushy tail?

Anyone else’s hound like to climb and jump off things?

Standard Greyhound morning.

Have you checked she isn’t a giraffe?

Roxi now off the lead in the fields next to our house. Lola teaching her the fabled ‘poo harvesting’ secrets 🙂 She’s put on over 25% body weight in just over two weeks. Proper little chubster! Growing so quick.

Awesome! The rate puppies grow is always amazing. Love the mentoring going on there, being shown the way by her big sis.

“There’s only one thing better than a dog. And that’s two dogs”

That’s what I keep telling the wife but she’s taking some persuading. Anyway, here’s Afton. He’s my best mate in the whole wide world. First dog we’ve ever had and it’s a huge regret that we waited until we were nearly 40 to get one. I’ll never be without one for the rest of my life…
