The dog thread is better than the cat thread, because it features dogs.

Stick a couple of false ears on him and say he's a beagle.

I found a mobile dog groomer (I do find that a strange and slightly disturbing term) and she's put me on her waiting list. There may be others in your area?

Ahhh, I hadn't thought of asking for a spot on waiting list. I just hadn't expected breed discrimination this morning. Still, I was happy to drop whatever on a sesh for Kail. Someone else can have the money now.

He was bringing you a gift.
Is he a lurcher cross?

Yeah he’s a galgo cross from Spain.
Hm I don’t think he was bringing me a gift as he shot past me in a high state of excitement and into the sitting room with it. However I know I reacted wrongly by shouting at him and bringing my stressful energy to the situation, when it was an opportunity for me to be calm and unthreatening so I could encourage him to willingly give it up to me. But tbh I was knackered and the last thing I wanted was a chase round the house with a possibly half dead bunny.

Just a small dog and his stick..

 

[weltweit]

But what is he/she eating?

 

[weltweit]

Anyone want a pre-owned Corgi?

I gather some might be becoming available ..

The cat had different intentions ..

Can't trust em !

Got home quite late last night and asked mungo if he wanted to go out. He pressed himself further into the sofa, which I took to mean ‘you must be joking, it’s pissing down out there’ I knew he hadn’t been out for ages but assumed he knew his own bladder. Went to bed. 10 minutes later he trotted up the stairs and brought me a screwdriver, which seemed to mean ‘actually yes, I do need a pee’.

tbf that must be a completely staged video, nobody is stupid enough to leave goldfish in any kind of receptacle without a top on if they have a cat, and the bowl is way too small to keep goldfish in, they have been placed there for the purpose of this video - so it is a set up situation involving cruelty to fish, a well fed cat, and a well trained dog, to get likes on social media.

Alice is going to live with another family. I've been looking after her for 4 months since my boyfriend went into hospital and then inconveniently died. Charlie's friends offered to foster or adopt her. At first, I was determined to keep caring for her. I promised Charlie I would do so. And I love her and her funny, affectionate curious exasperating ways. But increasingly I've realised I just don't have the resources to take care of her and keep my job. Charlie's friends have 4 people including their teenagers. They have a playful dog who gets on well with Alice and one of them works at home nearly all the time.

I feel so full of emotions. Shes been an incredible blessing in my life in a time of turmoil and sadness. She is very happy in her new household and I know she'll be well loved and cared for. I am so sad to say bye to her. And I know I need to keep my job and also live my life for me not just care for Alice.

I have her for 10 more days and I'm striving to enjoy that time with her and be super grateful for the time we've had.

I didn't realise how much dogs break your heart wide open (in a good way)

Much love to you! Animals do require a lot from you (some more than others) and you are doing right by her in finding a good home where she will get everything she needs. That is the responsible and caring thing to do, if you cannot manage to provide her the best - it must have been a difficult decision though and I feel for you.

 

[two sheds]

Yes you've done the best for her all the way through.

I’m so sorry for your loss of your boyfriend, and also the forthcoming loss of Alice who you’ve cared for and love. I don’t imagine this was an easy decision but I hope you enjoy your next few days together, before she goes to her new home. She looks delightful and you’re so right, dogs get you in a particular way, and it’s so lovely if you get the chance to experience that. Love to you.

Any one want to find the seven? They are all there.

 

[chainsawjob]

That's very sad Miss-Shelf, so hard to do, but sounds like the best thing for Alice, and yourself in the long run. Hugs x

Apart from the obvious 5 I think there may be a white ones head peeping out behind the black square thing. No sign of the red/brown dog.

I’m away for a few days and mungo has managed to sustain an injury in my absence. A long gash along his tail. He had to go to the vets and be sedated but they managed to save his tail. He is full of antibiotics and has to wear a cone and is not at all happy.

 

[Saunders]

My husband who is looking after him just rang to say the vet says the tail won’t heal and he’ll have to have it taken off tomorrow. His lovely curly jaunty happy tail.
And I’m stuck in fucking rail hell at fucking Grantham station and a long way from him. Bloody crying.

 

[Saunders]

Arrived home a whiie ago and had a lovely awkward greeting with lampshade and tail bumps and clunks. Vets first thing in the morning

 

[two sheds]

how's the tail?

 

[Saunders]

Not great, sadly. All wrapped up in Elastoplast, vet wrap and gaffer tape, From the way husb and son have described the injury, and two vet surgeons at the practice, about half will have to come off. It’s so sad, his tail curl was such a joyous thing, and also the fluffy white periscope was a way of locating him when he was otherwise camouflaged by the beach or bracken. But he’s ok and I’m here
My poor boy.

 

[Miss-Shelf]

Oh that is such a loss

Hope everything heals ok

Well the lovely curl is no more but what’s left still wags.

He was a bit lacklustre when he got home but the anaesthetic has now mostly worn off. He’s had 3 small dinners and a walk down the lane, where he was very interested in smells and sounds and wanted to get into the fields, and a fuss from the neighbours.

Dog sitting. Yapyapyap yap. Wtf does it get the energy?
