Smokin' hot dog! :-D :-D

Dobby gives me a quick drag round the neighbour hood ;-) ;-)

I saw the photo of the big dog Rollo - after scrolling quite far down through football items. Hence my previous post.

Unfortunately BBC updated the sight so the big dog photo disappeared. wuf

:-D :-D :-D

Would you like to talk us through that Rollo.

Did you just whippet from your vast canine knowledge. did you search for dogs with schnoodle or were you just having a bout of collie wobbles?

wurf wurf

:-D :-D Island

Ella went to where doggies go 2 years ago.
She was 17yrs 3mths.

Youngest dau came with me, eldest wasn't keen. But she said she was glad she did come cos it was a closure and it was her first time with a pet.

:-D Mr M your sure it was a lab and not a lurcher?

Maddie and Rollo, I'm sorry your four legged friends had to go 'where the good dawgies go. They are so much more than just pets.

We had a Beardy X and was full of life. Loved to run and play so we let have it. It's just nice to stroll along chatting to others too.
Also a good time to think things over if you are by yourself.

Can't stand those who cycle with the dog on the lead.

There are also those who jog with them too not giving the dog a chance to have a sniff.

Remember once I was out with her and a guy with two daughters all on bikes and a lab on the lead, Ella got close and the Lab lurched and pulled him off his bike. :-D

Thanks all - I loves to hear doggie tales, tails even, mine multi tasks with his.......door knocking, sofa beating....... :-D

He's a mosey and nosey man - he just has to catch up on the doggie telegraphs along the street and thinks shop doors are open for him - he always gets a 'hello beautiful!' so it's hardly surprising. We live in a small town where owners are generally known as Mr/Mrs Dogs name LOL
He likes a snuffle round the woods and an off-lead runabout over the fields.

The only power walking we do is when I spot tempting morsels on the pavement before he does. Then it's short lead held high and a quick step until we are past, his little feet hardly touch the ground never mind his snout :-D :-D

I asked 'power walk or mosey' because a regular dog walker who goes past our house doesn't half shift! His dogs little legs are almost a blur :-0 I don't think I could keep up with them :-0
I wouldn't mind our little fella going a bit faster though as I'd benefit more from the walk :-)

Mostly moseying, but ours was a nightmare as a 'teenager' so then it was power walking/running. He took off once whilst I was fiddling with his lead. Third finger wasn't broken but went various shades of purple, bled profusely and shed its nail. It's still 'wonky'. Also got cracked rib when he charged at me, on wet grass, and I went down like a ninepin. He's all grown up now and still has mad moments, but moseying is fine!

:-D

Or a Westie when it sees a cat :-0

Try hanging on to a Great Dane when it sees a rabbit......

My mother had a Yorkie which she loved to bits. A grand little dog full of fun.

At the other end of the scale I had red setter which loved to run and loved to mooch. He was trained as a gun dog and used to "point". He used to run with me ( this is in France where life for dogs is much less restricted ) for miles. Never enough miles for him.

One day we were passing some small kids on the pavement when one walked out right in front of a truck. Quick as a flash he jumped and knocked the little girl to safety/ He was not quite quick enough though. I still have his lead hanging on the door.

One day I'll get another dog. One day. But not in England. Meanwhile I go running with a ghost.

When I walk parents doggydoodles he is in total control a moseyer .....he does not pull
but he does decide what direction he wants to go.....he much prefers paths to
frields.....very much a sniffer and as for pee pees for a small dog I just dont know
where it comes from :-0 :-D

I would LOVE to walk our darling Charlie, but she died in July. I still miss taking her for an early morning walk. And taking her for a pee about 8pm.

Beloved, took her for a walk at lunchtime. He always said he would be about 10 minutes, but it was more like an hour. Charlie loved to sniff her way around the circuit they always took.
