Title: My Dogs
Post by: MiriMaran on March 14, 2010, 08:20:04 pm
I've been meaning to get a photo of my boys on here and have finally got around to it.  Ralph is the big lad and Henry is the smaller one.

For some reason I had problems posting a photo on a different thread, but if this doen't work I think the link will.

They look very relaxed, are they next to the fire, our dogs love a real fire and will sit roasting next to it, mind you, so do I!!

Bet you anything someone will come in and say 'your dog is snarling at me'  Sandy's Ben does that, and strangely enough her previous dog, Bruce did the same.  I've only known collies do it before though.  I think it's cute.

Hi Ruth, Henry is doing well.  We have also decided that he does have Springer in him, but have decided its not Jack Russell its either Whippet or Lurcher - he just keeps on growing!!

Kind of. Gynty is so laid back and doesn't let anything bother her and Ruby's nose is still out of joint. Ruby has always been the baby and now this 6 month old comes in with no shyness. Ruby is still looking for her pal Topsy. They do play together quite the thing and things are settling down with the 2 of them. It is 3 weeks tomorrow since she arrived so I suppose in the next 2 weeks they will be a tight unit again.

good!
Sheba and Barney, who died in February never really got on.... the gsd was scared of the minature poodle... and he couldn't see her, or hear her properly so would randomly bark, which scared her even more!
After my father - in - law passed away, they seemed to tolerate each other better, though still noisily, and she couldn't understand where he'd gone to (either of them!)

That was my first VW Camper 1971 bought in Leicester and run until it died about 5 years later..I loved it and called it my Barbie Bus....The pink one died and 2 days later I bought a red one, 1973 and when that died after a year of grieving my partner bought my current Yellow one...so there are as addictive as pigs, hens, goats, dogs, horses, sheep, fish?

George, I have HPRs (Hunter, Pointer, Retriever) not labradors.  They do ALL the gundog work not just retrieving, so I don't really know many of the lab working people.  I know a few of the show ones though, but don't recognise that affix as a show one.
