I am currently trying to rekindle my interest in keeping tropical fish.
I would absolutely love a dog but really do not have the space or time to treat one properly.

I couldn't be without my dog now, the last 5 years have flown by.
I am lucky though due to our lass being a lady of leisure,it means there is always someone in the house with jack, it really isn't fair to have a dog then leave it alone all the time.
here is a good rule guide for anyone thinking of buying a dog, it may be a bit soppy for some but it makes perfect sense.

Mine is currently trying to be a lapdog.

It's a bit breezy here ATM and like most dogs she doesn't like it.

The new dog:

We took it for a test drive today........

I made up a name - Maximilian Thunderbolt.......but we probably just call him max....

 

[Paul.M]

[telectrix]

Or they took him for a proper test drive running behind the family car (Just like National Lampoons vacation lol)

Only kidding Besoeker, he looks like a happy dog, well done.

German Shepard's are great dogs, had to put mine down in May because of cancer, even w/ pain meds he was hurting, loved cats, kids, got along with other dogs, & never had to worry about him hurting some kid if he got out, also have 4 cats only 1 got along w/ the dog.

australian shepherd dog?

Looks a bit scared to me, look at the body language. I reckon he's going to need a bit of work but treat right (which he will be) he'll be fine

The test drive was a march around the perimeter of a field next to the dog centre.
Lively. But does't bark or even growl - or chase cats as far as we can tell.

When we first took him out, we were complete strangers to him.
But he was perfectly comfortable with us.

if i were a dog and saw me for the first time, i'd be a bit wary.

 

[trev]

Tel, if I were a dog I'd bite ye

No matter what pet you have, give them a little extra cuddle tonight from us . We just had our big, brave, beautiful lad put to sleep this afternoon. I'm busy trying to numb the hurt with alcohol but it doesn't seem to be working just now.
Here's him on the beach

 

[telectrix]

i feel for you, trev. it's always a big hurt.

 

[Besoeker]

We took the dog out again today. It is getting more comfortable us.
It's young and, being cooped up in a kennel most of the day, it is naturally exuberant when it has a chance to get out. At about 25kg and muscular, restraining it needs a firm hand.

We know it will be a bit of work but we are prepared to put that in for a doge with an even temperament. As I said, it doesn't bark, growl or bite and reacts well to affection.

It needs a good home - we can give it that.

Sorry to hear that Trev.
