[Misc] Official NSC Dog Bore Thread

[Arthur]

Had a Border Collie as a kid who we rescued when he was about a year old. He lasted until I was about 19. I've always wanted another dog but due to working in London for the last 20+ years it's never been practical for me to have one. Then covid happened and I was given the opportunity to rescue Coco. Best thing I ever did. She's been with me for the last couple of years. Seen me through a redundancy which without her I expect there would have been days I wouldn't have bothered getting out of bed. Can't imagine a world without her snoring underneath my desk like she is now.

in November last year, my partner's mother passed away, having had dementia for the past two years.

Three weeks later, our nine year-old American bulldog, Ghost, succumbed to the aggressive tumour, and we had to have him put down. As a result of this, our 20 year-old Jack Russell, Bertie - himself with a large benign tumour - noticing his pal was missing, just basically stopped. He wouldn't eat, pad around, go for a walk; he just sat in his bed whimpering, pining for his now-departed mate. With his deteriorating health, we had no choice and, that same week, he was put to sleep as well.



My partner is on several dog-loving Facebook pages and, with one particular woman in East Anglia seeing her story, contacted her to see if she wanted a new dog for company. My partner has grown up with dogs all her life, and to not have one leaves a huge hole in her life. The woman in Norwich had an Old English bulldog / Staffie cross that the previous owners (who paid £2,500 for a pure breed) didn't want. On the way home from Linconlshire at Christmas, we detoured to Kings Lynn to collect Roxy (not a name I'd have chosen, personally). She is the soppiest, most loving, eager-to-be-your-friend, bundle of joy anyone could wish for.

When we collected her, the owner was in flood of tears to see her go. Roxy? Didn't give her a second thought, jumped in our car, looking for the next adventure.

I present, with her David Bowie eyes... Roxy.

You have no filter whatsoever do you.

You have completely misunderstood my response, I read his story and that was quite literally all I could say, sorry if I offended you!

This is Chloe (and in my avatar). She is nearly 3, is a wonderful little dog and has cheered my autistic son up no end she she arrived in our house. She likes toys, walks and chasing birds and squirrels in the garden.

Meet Henry, now approaching five years old. Just where did that time go?

He's a good running buddy too.

Wow you look like a cross between....

Henry is a stick addict. No stick is too big.

Nor is there ever too many sticks that can be carried at once.

He's a good running buddy too.

We had an obsessive collector, sticks or tennis balls, a cross Retriever/GSD. He could get three tennis balls in his mouth, one at the back & two in the front. He'd chase anything you threw but once he'd got it it was his to keep.

Tried to upload picture but it keeps failing. Oh well.

Henry does exactly the same! He tries for four now and again, and occasionally he manages it for a few seconds, but his mouth isn't quite big enough to get a proper grip.

Mine is Frankie by the way. Currently rocking a fresh summer cut.....



But used to look a lot more Bob Marley



And while I was typing that he's just been brought in for a "mouth search" by The Boy as he managed to purloin a pen from "somewhere" (odds split between Mrs GB's desk and The Boy's school stuff). Pens are, apparently, incredibly tasty. FFS.

I grew up with dogs, and had three (yellow Lab, Rough Collie, and a Golden Retriever/Alsation cross) before I met my other half. He is allergice to dogs (asthma) so we can't have one in the house.

I am 'Grandma' to my daughter's beautiful dog, Misty. I dog sat when she was spayed, and spoiled her so she knows I'm a soft touch.
