Why would you want a dog?

Nico...before and after his walk

 

We have one that enjoys the mud

 

Oh @Verdun !!!! Nico is soooooo gorgeously adorable!!!

 

Aww @andrews , what a fabulous looking dog you have!! Tell me has she/he lost something in that mud puddle or just loves diving into murky waters!!!
Definitely has the right colouring for a mud loving dog!!

 

Nico is turning much more golden now @Verdun , he's a handsome chap. Our new golden pup can go for her first walk on Monday and we are so excited! I'm sure she's going to love mud too!

 

Nothing in there. He just loves digging in water. He has a few digging holes along his normal walk. The video was taken two years ago but he does the same now. He'll dig in one hole, let me walk down the bridal way and then run past me to dig in the next hole. He'll then decide to shake himself dry at the side of me - I'm sure I can hear him giggling to himself

 

Snorky, he is a lot whiter than shown though thanks to a roll in the sand on the beach yesterday even before today's before and after picture.
Ah yes! He is a total (delightful) scamp and he will soon be a year old

 

Dogs are mud magnets . Molly relishes rolling in duck poo , then rubbing her neck in it

 

It depends on you and the sort of dog you've got.

We had a miniature poodle when we were in our twenties when the kids were young. Great dog.

Our youngest son and his partner has Ted, a "designer" dog, (posh name for a mongrel).

He's a great dog, he can do lots of tricks and is no trouble. His partner calls him her "fur baby"







That's Ted with our son, his partner and her daughter in between them.






Some neighbours have a similar looking dog but with much longer legs. It chewed their lounge carpet which had to be replaced. it's chewed that one since.


Ted on holiday two years ago.



Funny story.

They bought a holiday home in the Pennines a year ago and spent each week-end doing it up. He always insisted on taking Ted for a long walk at lunchtime.

One Sunday as he was doing a tricky bit of DIY he asked her to take the dog for a walk instead. She said she got 50 yards down the road when Ted turned into the pub. All the locals knew him in there!

 

George doesn't like rain or snow that is falling from the sky. Snow that is lying in 3 foot drifts? That's great fun!

 

I’d really like some dogs, I love dogs but with work commitments as they are it’s not really fair for me to have any dogs....one day I hope this will change so I can rescue a Labrador, a Dalmatian & a springer spaniel (yep I know that’s about the worst mix of dogs I could have...but let’s face it you couldn’t put me with three sensible dogs could you! )

 

I like my dog as he keeps me doing things I otherwise would not do, like take he black socks and muddy feet
