Just found a stray dog

Yes there are lots of thiefs at the moment

I don't use face book

 

Are Tescos running out of Horses then?

 

Zigs

Whats a "Coypus" ?

 

In my area, two bull mastif puppies have "gone missing" two boxers have "gone missing" and a staffy/beagle cross. I think the latter is lost as there have been sightings of him since but the others have disappeared together all on the same stretch of beach.

I'm being extra vigilant with mine as apparently Will and Kate's latest doggie addition to their family has made cocker spaniels the fashionable dog of the moment

 

2 or more of these,

Do we still have them in wild here I thought it could be that but you do have a habit of having nicknames for stuff

Living out 'in the sticks' like what I do, there's often cats and dogs out and about taking themselves for a walk and, by and large, they usually find their own way home.

Cats and dogs are one thing, it's a different matter when I'm sitting quietly by myself, look up to glance out of the window and see a horse staring in at me through the window! Nasty, unpredictable things, there was no way I was going to go anywhere near it, let alone try to attach it to any sort of leash, rope or tether especially if I was going to be on the other end. So what did I do? I watched it trample and chomp its way around my garden before it ambled off to do the same in my neighbour's. It was 2 or 3 hours before I had a knock at the door and a woman asking if I'd seen a horse, by which time the animal was long gone although the evidence of it having been in there was clear. The woman looked round the garden and pretty much ignored the devastated plants except to say, in an accusatory tone, 'Well, I hope he hasn't eaten too much of those, they could make him ill' (I resisted the temptation to suggest she might not have that problem if she'd ensured 'he' couldn't get out), and with that she stomped off in search of the wayward Dobbin. I'm guessing she found him eventually, but she never did come to back to apologise about our wrecked plants.

The Alpacas in the field at the back of us though, now they're a whole different story and I'm not the only one who has given permission for their owner to open my garden gate to let his 'furry lawnmowers' lose on my grass!

 

You have the same as me then, free range animals were it's your folt it got into your garden, it's your folt it's eaten some thing it shouldn't have and made my animal ill

 

Dog theft is an ongoing business; having said that, it amazes me how many dogs do get handed in to a Police Station and remain unclaimed (there was *one* that Mr Mum and I fell in love with and waited patiently for the all clear ... but, he *did* get claimed )

 

Horrid, stealing dogs. There is a lot of horrid things in general human do to a dog.
Humans are sick.
When we had our GSD's I was so protective of them. You'd think well they can take care of themselves. Well yes, in a primative way. But a human who is hell bent on doing something can spike a piece of meat with something etc.
My cousin had his GSD trained only to accept meat from the left hand never the right hand, just in case he'd say.

 

one of our three is an escaped/abandoned hunting dog fortunately without an id chip so she stayed with us, i say fortunately as many hunting dogs here are treated horribly. Still, it's the hunters loss, as up to now she's 'encouraged' wild boar to chase her up towards me so i can shoot them four times. problem is, i'm not a hunter and i don't have a gun, they're so bloody big

 

LOL, just picturing that
