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

My brother's 17 year old spaniel at my parents' today. He is an aged fella now, shuffling about the place but not beyond making puppy dog eyes and whining mournfully to get my mum to give him dinner early! View attachment 412022

He (is that Daniel the Spaniel?) looks so lovely, 17 is pretty fucking amazing for a dog isn't it?
My cat is 17 and is a bit doddery and a bit forgetful, but very happy and always wants a cuddle.
Cheers to elderly pets

Yes, that is the internet breaking Daniel the Spaniel. 17 is a long innings for a spaniel, he is still a very good old boi!

(from reddit) so who's going to be the first to put this to the test?

Well I did you have to really and it's that time of year so I scolded the vacuum cleaner in a firm voice "Naughty vacuum cleaner, nasty loud noise don't you scare Frankie" a couple of times after he'd come back in the room after running out scared when it was on. Next two times I used it he ran at it and bit it.

My son asked about getting photographs of him and my BiL's dog Larry.

He wants photos for a dating website, thinks a dog will make him more attractive!

Almost fraudulent I think, at a min misleading in the extreme!!

The bed by the range stove remains by far and away the warmest place in the house. The problem for Ted is that Boo only ever leaves it for minutes at a time when he needs to eat, drink or toilet. When that happens, Ted quickly grabs it and curls up in it, but he always relinquishes it again when Boo returns.

Anyway, he’s now doing his best to request that he be allowed to maybe… share the bed? He’s getting a no, but he’s good at not taking no for an answer.



… and a little closer

I would ask whether you'd considered a bigger bed, but I know cats and I suspect the dog would still be sleeping on the tiles

 

[kabbes]

We did try! It worked for a bit



But in the end, bed two was determined to be inadequate

… also, what happened 30 seconds after that photo was taken was that Ted started to wag his tail and Boo ended up looking like one of those silent film era comedy characters, with a tail bashing him repeatedly in the face.

Harmony at last

Does it make cooking at the range difficult?

In a word: yes.

But then, so does pet shenanigans.

Borrowed dog

A fine fella
although he gave me some proper side eye and a growl when he was on the sofa

Walking Lily. I stopped for a swift refresher.





I think she's trying to tell me something...

Is that Tibberton? My mate lives there

That looks like a "why have we stopped when there are still walkies to walk and smells to be sniffed?" face

That is indeed The Bridge at Tibberton.

Remarkable power of observation you have there!

It is also the "I can smell treats in your pocket. Why are you not feeding me them?" face.

Ha I’ve been to that pub twice I think probably twenty years apart, it just seemed familiar.

You need a third bed for the human to cosy up to the stove too

We have one similar, its 9ft diameter and about 3 feet tall. Weighs an absolute ton since its not foam that gets squished and useless in 5 minutes like the other ones. Worked nicely as an extra bed when required too.

Living his best life, and still trying to pull off that sad puppy eyes look for extra attention. Utterly shameless

He is clearly being neglected in the treat department

Oh no he isn’t!

 

[T & P]

Anyways, he’s now given up on any further manipulation for the day, and so has his brother
