Title: Gardeners and their dogs
Post by: Merlins Mum on April 08, 2005, 19:28:08
It was suggested this might be a nice idea so I thought I would get it going.

**********

I have modified this post as both photos were far too big and the same  ???

photos as they should have been below  ::)

Ah Wardy, it's sad when they get on in years.  Toby's sight is pretty good but his hearing is not.  Although sometimes I think it's more a case of not wanting to hear!
How about sharing a photo of your dog with us all.  That's why I starded this thread so we could show off our dogs/hounds/mutts or whatever!

He's great Roy and King Charles are full of character.  He obviously doesn't much like your choices of veg though or maybe he's picking them for you to cook, haha  ;D

and Wardy I've seen the first pic on another thread (Toby is always looking in the dishwasher, well there is sure to be a morsel of food somewhere!) and the second is so sweet.  Not spoilt by any chance, no of course not, are they ever!


Yes this is the way it should be going, com on some more please

Post by: Gardengirl on April 20, 2005, 18:47:54
Thanks.  In fact Bobbie, the one at the back does not look quite as good as that now as he is the one with the skin and coat problems.  He is getting a bit better now though, and as mad as a hatter and very happy so that is the main thing :)
Title: Re: Gardeners and their dogs

If they are anything like my lab was, they will stay as mad until old age.
They're lovely Gardengirl

She's a beauty discovery :)  We have had a couple of GSDs - lovely dogs.

She must be a very tolerant dog to sit still with the mask on :D

She's lovely discovery and I'm a little envious , I've always wanted a GSD.  We had one when I was very young, she was the same and so loyal but didn't much like men.

I had a gsd/wolfhound once.  Looked very ferocious and intelligent but was as soft as butter and totally thick.  Great fun though.

<------   My Spook met a GSD puppy the other day. Spook retained his usual coolness whilst the pup looked adorable. Big paws flopping all over and a big wet nose.

I had an encounter with a beagle puppy today.  He was about the size of a rabbit with adult beagle's ears, a tail like a rubber car ariel and soooooooo cute.

Ty gardengirl.

Yes Wardy he's game all right and in big trouble. Today he has managed to get the stone balls off their stand and dig out the blue tit nest!! He just hates birds but most of all chickens.

When he was six months old I was at my friends smallholding, Bud spied the chickens, off he went and got tangled in the electric fence. That orange square stuff. By the time I got to him and turned off the current he was in a real old state. I am sure that he thinks the chickens did that to him. His mission in life is now to kill alll feathered foes.

He's now stuffed as are the cat and I, we read the article on Bangers and Mash and have just shared a pound of sausages, onion gravy and beans. Good job  I live on my own, it will be wnidy here tomorrow!!

I caught the sun a bit yesterday...that bit at the back when I bend down and my top goes up and my trousers go the other way.  I now have a tanned stripe across my back!

Not mine, a friend asked me to try and get a photo of her cowardly dogs. She said her daughter is always chasing after them with a mobile phone trying to take their picture, they wont stay still. This one tried to hide behind the plant ;D

By the way Carrot cruncher, I have fond memories of Bradgate Park, we used to go for a walk up to Old John every Boxing day when I was a kid, and in the summer we would cycle there and back, it took all day from Wigston

Oh that's a lovely spaniel, cocker or springer? Cos she's sitting down I can't tell.

I do so love spaniels, full of beans, especially springers. My boy Bud is part springer. Goes boing boing all day long.
Title: Re: Gardeners and their dogs
Post by: Merry Tiller on May 28, 2005, 00:57:57
She's a C o c k e r. She once chased a bird right across a road and was inches away from being a dog pizza, her Dad was a working dog and she's got his genes, she can't help chasing birds, so much so that until recently she was never allowed off the lead unless it was at the allotments as that is well fenced in.
I've always had dogs but she is the most affectionate I've ever known, though possibly also the scattiest. ::)
