Welcome to all Dog lovers & generally Canine minded Folk. I have started this to enable a Thread to be used-in the Pet section with a title 'I love Dogs' so there will be no problems with attracting the right Posters, and the 'wrong Posters' give it a swerver. I am mainly a working Dog Lover, I have had-J/Russells, Retrievers, Lurchers. Currently have 2 White Cockapoo's. Mum & Daughter. Not my kind of Dogs(at first) the OH fell in love with the Breed a year after losing the Retriever. Now I couldn't imagine life without them. You either love Dogs or don't, if you do then life without them really is empty. I feel for the none Dog Folk, not knowing the joys of owning Dogs. But I'm not stupid enough to believe just because I love em everyone should. So if you would like to talk Canine, please be my guest

10 and 8, goodness how time flies but great to read your dogs still have the joyous puppy spirit lurking just below the surface, Rocky.

What a fabulous morning you described there and very different from the damp grey down here. It's good to know there's life beyond grey. Thankyou for that and may you and your dogs have a great day!👍

Since we lost our last border collie Rosa ,I have not had the exercise that we should normally have

But the collies in the rescue centres that we have inquired about have all had really big problems that our age and OHs problems would be more difficult to live with than in the past

It’s easy to get used to not walking, JV.

We had to accept that it wasn’t sensible to get another dog after having them as part of our lives for the best part of 50 years. It was a wrench but the right thing to do as it wouldn’t have been fair to a dog when we weren't able to give it the life it needed. There comes a time for us all I’m afraid.

Well done you, Tinster👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻. It’s a selfless decision. You have realised within the life of your potential Dog you may not be able to give that Dog all you know it deserves. So you’ve chosen to deny yourself to save another Dog a troubled end. I hope I’m able to show your strength when that time comes. In truth I would do what you’ve done, I love Dogs way too much to put my needs before theirs. Good post Mucker👍🏻

Thankyou. It sure was a hard decision and it would have been all too easy to have selfishly got a dog for all the wrong reasons. Instead, we enjoy making a fuss of neighbours' dogs, or any we meet really.🙂

We also still have the delight of other dogs ,OHs son has now got a Tibetan Terrier who we see quite often and several dog walkers have been knocking with their. dogs to see how we are their dogs quite enjoy it as they now have learnt where the treats are kept
