Was that Bear

Great photo

So good to finish work today, I only get three days off but it'll do me after this mad week . Just a plug Coles High Wycombe has plenty of fresh bread rolls, I baked all day, the poor ovens didn't stop. Merry Christmas everyone :rofl: ;)

Amstaffs maybe I dare say what the OP refers to as a "Staffie" is not a registered Staffordshire Bull Terrier but a cross or a badly bred BYB SBT. The SBT is a medium breed and height wise I'd class them as small.

I read that as "do you poop" not "do you put poop" and had an image of RubyStar squatting over the hole :D :D :D :D :D :D

Yes that's a game we play :D It's a game we play at my house, too. Today, they dug a hole deep enough they could almost reach China. I filled it in best I could (half the dirt disappears to nowhere so I don't have enough to fill it back in!) and tomorrow and Thursday they are going to mum and dad's so I don't have to play fill the hole until after Christmas lunch at my place :D Not hard in your hard, all you have is dirt!! ;) Even less of a challenge given the size of Kyzer and Trixie :D I think they could comfortably together in a hole that would only fit one of our dogs RS Whoops, noticed I typed "hard" instead of "yard" earlier, but I'm sure you all know what I meant :D The hole my dogs (Millie) dug today could have buried Trixie and Kyzer alive ;) Do you put poop in the holes before you fill them in??? Seemed to work for my ridgies - Mason is not much of a digger. I put poo in the hole today before I filled it in. It does work, it's just a matter of having enough poo to fill all their holes . Just wanted to add I don't mind them digging to keep cool, just wish they'd do it in the garden bed not the grass, well it's sand now but it was grass .

I never thought I would say this, but I can understand where the OP is coming from. Me too. There is a bastard of a staffy living next door to me, attacked my big dog at the park for no reason (my dog wasn't even standing neat the staffy nor looking at it). Thank god for good fences. And then a few weeks back we had the unfortunate experience of meeting a couple with two staffys, one of them grabbed my puppy around it's neck - again my dog didn't want a bar of this other dog, it simply attacked. So, I don't hold this particular breed of dog in high stead at present. I was one not to judge any dog not so long ago but I need to meet some really nice non dog aggressive staffys to sway my mind right now. eta - I meant to say, I hope the OP has no problems with her new neighbours nor their dogs Sorry you've had a bad experience GR maybe we can meet up at Riverside one day ;) .

Yes that's a game we play ;)

Bear's still in his hole . I'm about to upset him and fill them in . Sophie is a good girl she keeps nice and clean, doesn't lay in the sand and doesn't go in the smelly pond, which a certain two dogs think is for swimming in, that's why she can sleep on my bed ;) .

More naughty dogs .

Little frog trying to keep cool . Banjo helped with the hole .

Happy Birthday Ptolomy

bedazzled I was in Darlington yesterday for lunch, it's so pretty there you lucky duck :D . I saw one house with a BC out the front doing a poo :D and I said maybe that's bedazzled's house .

I witnessed some 'old school type training' at a club, it wasn't in a class though, I was almost in tears driving home, poor puppy was obviously interested in the other dogs, the handler was yanking on his lead every time he looked away, no reward when the dog looked at them , get out of the dark ages people .

He's a gorgeous pup and I think the ears add to his character .

Bear fast asleep in the garden bed

I'm another Frenchie Fan - just gorgeous

Congrats on the puppy I use Swan Vet but it's probably too far for you to travel :p .

Poor Sophie If she is at all overweight, start slimming her now. Is she crate trained? That will help. Dougal has had both knees done and one was done twice so he's been through it three times, poor bugger. However, it's been 18 months since the last one and I don't even have him on supplements these days, he is doing SO well. Candice sees him regularly and she will tell you he doesn't even limp anymore so it's well worth doing! Sophie overweight :D no she's always been skinny . She had the other leg done four years ago and apart from arthritis in winter she's back to full exercise, well she was until the goat chasing incident which started the problem with this leg .

Sophie isn't going to have a great start to the new year , she'll be going in for a cruciate op, I'm so dreading the long recovery but in the long run she'll be sound again, the light exercise she's been restricted to is making her nuttier than usual so it's the op or she drives everyone crazy .

Bear wants it

Bear still likes to play under the coffee table even though he's getting too big

;)

Dags :D
