Dogs Rock 😆

We saw a Newfoundland whilst out walking this morning. Man, they are a BIG dog. Would hate to have to clean up after one of them.

We also saw an airforce - not airport, dog in training. Not sure what they do?? And tonight, there was a guy walking a rescue puppy - a mongrel dog that he got from the pound and is trying to rehome. My dog doesn't like puppies. She's getting old and cranky around them.

Not to mention how much they eat and the huge job it would be to give them a bath. My dog is medium sized - just right although sometimes I wish she was more active. I can't take her on all my walks as she is too slow. She does walk faster at night though @Former-Member

Hey @Ruthie- check out this thread

Wow @Ruthie - 18years is a pretty good innings for a dog. Even 12 years isn't bad. My dog is nearly nine but she acts like she's 19 sometimes. She's a Cavoodle. I used to walk her first thing in the morning and then again in the afternoon but on these cold mornings, she likes to sleep in so I go by myself. I get to walk faster that way as she likes to sniff and potter about.

Funnily enough she picks up the pace if we do the rounds at night. So at the moment, we do a middle of the day walk and an evening one. Works for us.

One of the best things I have done was get a dog. I may care for my sons but my dog cares for me. She is a jug ( 3/4 pug, 1/4 jack russell) and is as cute as a button. A few weeks ago i was on the couch sobbing, it had been a horrible day and i look up and shes trotting to me with a pair of my sons blue undies in her mouth. She had gotten them out of the laundry basket ( dirty washing basket mind you) and was offering them to me - a gift to feel better. I ended up laughing through the tears.

I cannot imagine life without her...
