Oh he’s such a handsome boy. I don’t see why not; I rarely call Mungo Mungo, and he knows I’m talking to him whatever I call him. And if he’s away from me and I want to call him in, I generally either whistle or call a weird high pitched yodelly sound. Sometimes he turns up straight away, other times he completely ignores me.I feel like I should change Axles name, the long Aaa at the start doesn't really work for me, it's not pointy enough can you change dogs names, he's not 2 years old yet

I firmly believe that our animal companions like or dislike names they are given - it's OK IMO to change an animal's name if they do not respond to their old one and seem to prefer a new one.Oh you know what, I hadn't even thought about that for some reason! all my others dogs have had names that changed over time with no issues, just affectionate nicknames or whatever. I was calling him back with "skitz" this evening, it was satisfying to say.
Hahah, I just said that out loud as I was typing and he immediately came & found me

I'll try it out for a while..
I follow a dude on Instagram who takes pictures of dogs as he's going around New York. He saw a curly lab the other day and almost wet himself he loved it so muchView attachment 410022
a bit of beach fun today. Still surprises people when I say the lab is 3 1/2 yet the curly boy is only 8 months. Most think it’s the other way around. She is tiny next to him and he’s still got a fair bit of growing to do
You got a new dog? I don’t remember seeing the one in green pyjamas before. They are all so gorgeous

He looks very much at home there with the other dogs, what a great start in his rehoming journey to live with you guys and get snazzy pyjamas and kebab, and other dogs to hang out with. I have so much respect and appreciation for you fostering. Good to hear Nico is getting on well; I honestly don’t know how people manage more than one dog at a time. Mungo is great, thanks, having a lovely time and mostly being a delightful companion. I do still look at other galagos and podencos all the time but I know that I enjoy the bond I have with him so much as it is, I wouldn’t want to bring another energy into the mix.That's Epi, he's been in foster with us for about 6 weeks now. Before him we had Nico for 7 months before he got adopted in October. He's doing really well in his new home with two whippets.
How's Mungo getting on?
We're only able to do it because at least one of us is working from home on any day of the week. Nellie really enjoys having other dogs here and it's helped socialise her too. Moshi mostly tolerates other dogs and only then if they're also Galgos. The fosters learn from Nellie to just stay out of Moshi's way while in the home (she's fine while they're out though). I think she'd be just as happy as an only dog as she seems to prefer human company.He looks very much at home there with the other dogs, what a great start in his rehoming journey to live with you guys and get snazzy pyjamas and kebab, and other dogs to hang out with.

Yep, that will be Thomas (the dog). His curly is the same age as my lab. Wish my curly was as chill as him! But he’s right, curly coated retrievers are rare, they are on the vulnerable native list in the UK. Most people think he’s a labradoodle

Did you have to bribe her? I had a pretend biscuit to make this one keep still for 5 seconds
That is a gorgeous picture. Get it printed and framed.
