We adopted my first dog from the dogs trust when I lived in a flat with no attached garden. She was 12yo when we adopted her and sadly we only had her for two years but she was a brilliant dog, came fully trained and was very laid back. We lived across the road from a park so we just took her across the road for a wee potter around in the mornings and evenings and she got her big walk (2 miles) in the evening. To be honest I’d happily go for a rescue dog, but I do want a bigger breed so had always thought a flat ruled it out. However that dog in your picture is a belter that I’d happily take in so maybe not. 56 minutes ago, Shandön Par said: COVID has robbed Renton of his beloved girl that would take him out for walks etc (she's not dead, just couldn't get back to Edinburgh).

Still have a painting/odd job/furniture building marathon. He’ll still come to work with me most days anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However that dog in your picture is a belter that I’d happily take in so maybe not. I'd say she was about golden retriever size but she used to just lay about and sleep. Her favourite place was at the bottom of the stairs so we'd frequently find her under a pile of junk mail because she rarely moved if the postman came. The Glasgow Dogs Trust were very good. We got her on some sort of foster arrangement so all her vet bills were paid by them for the whole time we had her. Think it was something to do with her being too old to insure. She was a great dog, very clever and someone had gone to great lengths to train her well. I say she was lazy but she was always up for a longer walk or an adventure.

Get yourself a Greyhound, they'll take over all soft furnishings, in fact you'll probably end up buying the mutt a sofa of their own. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Stewart Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Rosie the dog did not enjoy having to go out in the pissing rain today. She is thoroughly enjoying trying to steal every bit of heat out of the fire though 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Lambies Doos Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 So, we've had her for about 6 weeks now. c.15 weeks old. An absolute dote. Developing good weighs about 7.5kg. She actually toilet trained in about a day!! And can be let off leads during safe walks etc, away from Roads....Like any puppy she likes to steal socks etc and being chased. Great decision!! 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replays Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Lost this gorgeous girl last month, aged fourteen. Diagnosed with Lymphoma in August but somewhat mercifully, had a quick decline and was put to sleep at (I feel) just the right time. She was a real companion and I’m still heartbroken at the loss. Thankfully, our one year old Irish Setter is as large as life. He loves pulling some cracking faces too, which is a nice bonus: Edited October 7, 2020 by Scott-Replay 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 One or both of ours decided to shred a dog bed while we were at work the other day so this is Skye's best "Everything's fine here" face. She was obviously worried that Morse was going to crack under interrogation. Probably a fair bet tbf. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Is she a cross breed or just cocker?Just a working cocker, quite small for the breed generally (in laws have working cockers too and they’re / were much bigger), but still has the “lightning quick, never tires” attributes in abundance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
