Made me laugh Wardy! My Nephdog is a long Legged Jack Russell, and as barmey as they come! He barks at planes flying over, if he ever caught one he would be in for a big surprise! Actualyy thinking about it, he barks at most things!! Endless source of amusement when he visits, just glad he gets to live with my sister and not me!

my old gsd cross used to round you up - even if there was only one of you.  One morning, very early, my dad was walking him in the heavy fog.  The dog had just completed another round of round-the-walker-behind-the-walker-round-the-walker when a jogger appeared from the fog jogging towards my dad.  The dog took this as a threat and swung from his track bottoms, knocking him to the floor.  If that wasn't bad enough the jogger was completely deaf and had no idea that he was about to be assaulted by the hound as he didn't hear him coming.  Just as well he saw the funny side and knew dad adn the dog.

he's called Bruno and he's nine months old. his elderly owner had too many dogs so gave him up, he's not been neglected and is sort of slightly trained..

he's a staffie cross we think, gingery brown short coat and about knee height.

 ??? Mmmm Had to think on this one, one dog Bud and grumpy ginger cat, Buster.

Past friends 4 dogs, 4 cats and 4 horses and one pony. I now see why I have no money and the vet drives round in a huge 4x4!!

I just love my animals. I'd have a larger zoo if I could afford it.

I've got 2 cats and one dog, my shed has a pair of hedgehogs (and their baby last year), the back garden decking has loads of frogs living under it every year, and the front lawn is full of leatherjackets.

I have 1 dog, 6 cats, 5 golden orfes, 23 gold fish, hundreds of stickle backs, loads & loads of frogs & toads...... 

Also have had for the last 2 or 3 years, two doves which must have made their home in my very big pine tree.  Last year they produced a baby...... when it was trying to fly it landed on my grass.....big mistake, as 1 of my cats spotted it, luckily we spotted them both and as i chased the cat away, hubby picked up the dove and put safely back near the tree.... mummy or daddy then flew down a little later and they both then flew back into the tree......  :)

We also have a regular visit from a hedgehog who loves to sit in my dog's food bowl and eat his leftovers....

Oh yeah......... i also have 1 son & 1 husband..   ;D ;)

Wardy I haven't read this post for a while but I'm glad I did. Your tales about your Russ have had me in kinks,especially the concussing someone after letting go of a branch. LOL . Eeee you poor girl.

One time when I lived in a MOD house it was time for the decorators to come and do the house up. Cassie was a complete menace to them and wouldn't leave them alone. She ended up with many go-faster stripes through getting between the paint brush and the doors. She was just a nightmare.Paws in the paint kettle...everything. One morning all had gone quiet. I searched the house up and down but no Cassie. Oh no I thought she's off out into the woods. I was just getting my coat on to go look for her when I lglanced out of the window. There were the decorators having their morning cuppa in their van. Who was sat inbetween them also enjoying a cuppa ,a biscuit and probably a read of the newspaper...Cassie!

I was most embarrassed,she's such a tart!

Once when I lived with my dad we had a very crabby cat and a mad gsd cross.  I was paining the downstairs hallway with gloss paint (fed up with dog shakes on the wallpaper - seemed like a good idea at the time) and me and the cat were having some bonding time as dad and dog were out.  The dog returned and chased the cat through the paint tray and up the stairs.  Cream paw prints everywhere !  My money saving idea didn't really work out after we had to pay out for new carpet.

We have two cats, two dogs and a pond full of fish.

Talking of 'rounding up' Baggy, we once had a GSD who decided he would round up all the cows in a field we were walking through.  He would not come back to us until he had got them all safely together in the corner of the field :D Funny how this behaviour is inbred.
