Menno
That's odd Menno, I can see it.
Any good now?
Cheers,
Neil.
I'm using a new host so just took a test snap of Dot with my youngest son.
Can everyone see it OK?

Cheers,

They are both working (whereas the previous wasn't).
Ah right, thanks very much CB.
Because of the slow demise of Photobucket I have just started uploading my new pics to imgbb.com.
Glad it is working OK.
Cheers,
Neil.
All's great now, Neil!
As always: Brilliant pics!

Thanks Menno.
Bull Terriers are usually very photogenic in their comedic way.

Great photos!A couple of semi-decent iPhone pics of my furry friend.
Been a while since posting on this thread and there's been a few changes with my gang...
We lost Mia in March... She was 16 so she'd had a good bat but it was still heartbreakingly sad.
She was my first gundog and I trained her myself. A friend at the time warned me "not to expect miracles, as your first one is never any good".... Well, she must have been a miracle because she was fantastic.
Superb nose, worked to hand and whistle out to 200 yards and was a problem solver when she needed to be.
She had her first day out at 13 months and worked until she was nearly 13. Only stopping because of hearing loss.
She had a graceful retirement.
She'd been a raggety arse for quite a while but was happy to potter about at her own pace and wasn't in any pain.
In early March the back end was more wobbly than usual and getting back up was becoming more and more difficult.
She had a bad night on the last Monday and I lay with her throughout on the kitchen floor.
I truly thought that she was going to go in her sleep....
She made it through to Tuesday morning but when we looked at each other she was saying that it was time to go.
She slipped away very quietly and peacefully in my arms.
I buried her on Wednesday morning on one of the partridge drives on the estate. It was where she chased a flying pricked bird and realising that she wasn't going to catch it with speed alone , jumped and caught it in mid air!!
A magical moment and probably her finest retrieve.
I can see it now,
It will be my lasting memory of what a wonderful gundog she was.
She's buried where it happened.
With spring flowers and a wonderful view.
I miss her everyday.
Poppy in the obligatory lion costume.
Mia's torch has been taken up by Bluebell....
She's a complete lunatic who we call the ginger terrorist !
And the new boy on the left is Duke. A short stay foster with issues who we have adopted.
He's been de-nutted and has settled in to be a loving playmate and nursemaid to Blue....
He's still a bit nest protective tho.
...and the big black donkey is Jasmine, who some will remember had the chest surgery following an argument with the pointy end of a branch at 20mph chasing a pheasant.

A sad but uplifting tale about Mia John.
We never forget them.
Cheers,
Neil.

Thank you Neil and Tony.
No, we don't.
Thanks for sharing John, I feel slightly better about humanity after reading your post.

Mia was obviously very fortunate to have you as her owner John. Despite the inevitable sadness, that was an uplifting story, beautifully told.

Ah
Good job she's adorable
Ah
Good job she's adorable
Adorable ...and clearly has a view on who's in charge :)
Indeed - hence the book!
She's a clever dog who can obviously read.
The bottom of the first page says "chew it over"
What else did you expect her to do.
Well spotted, bravo!
Our two (Speedy and Scamp) yesterday, up Cairngorm Mountain.
Not a real dog...
Cant add pic - edit to follow sorry
Dot having a nice restful afternoon on her chair.
Cheers,
Neil.
Nicely colour coordinated upholstery and Dot's mouth (pink!)
Menno
It's her personal chair Menno, and yes she does look a bit pink, just been out for a run about.
Cheers,
Neil.
So this is what he gets up to when he is home alone.... Don't know why we buy him a bed!

We are in the process of giving a home to a rescue pup. He's a 14-week old lurcher (Sulaki-Lab cross), by the name of Freddie.
Hoping the final stages go ok, and he could be with us shortly.
He already seems to get on well with our 8-year old (who has apergers).
Fingers crossed...
He looks lovely, good on you for (hopefully) giving him another chance
Hear hear, good luck with giving him another chance mate. Oh, and Ed, I'm saving this to my mobile to cheer me up when/if I need to - she is adorable!He looks lovely, good on you for (hopefully) giving him another chance

Photobucket can poke it.

Meet Bink.
She has Just returned from two weeks in the uni's vet hospital with pancreas problems. Bink is 9 y/old and her owner was chuffed that a stranger on a bike (=me!) pulled the brakes, got off the bike because of bull terriėr!
Bink was clearly happy with the attention, but still a little under the weather according to the lady owner, who also explained that she had a hard time with her neighbours "... because of the dangerous, ferocious pitbull..."

Aah, Bink's gorgeous.
Can still see the post op shaved leg I know so well.
I'm sure the owner appreciated you making a fuss of her Menno. I must admit I do the same.
Cheers,
Neil.
Last night SWMBO and I visited a litter of English Springer Spaniels pups. We put a deposit on this little fella. Noodle, as he will be called, should make a great companion for our other ESS. I can't wait to collect him in mid-August.

Thanks Sean ....Oscar
Our new pup
Now 9 month old ,we had to have Toby our last Lab put to sleep aged 15
We vowed to never get another dog ....
Then realised how empty the house is without one
Is that a dog-dummy?!Oscar
And why is he wearing stripey socks?
Lol ...The kids have a habit of dressing our dogs up especially around Christmas time
Another outfit was a Santa suit but I've got no photos
As for the dummy .The dog has a habit of pinching visiting baby's dummies
