Ears always look worse as they seem to bleed really bad.

Hopefully they don’t react badly to normal dog play!

Dave!

He’s been playing fine with missy. We’ve kept them in today to give him a day to decompress, we’ll see what he’s like tomorrow

@V8Granite I hope Hutch is doing well.
@jamcg I hope Toby has forgotten what happened.

Forum dog?

It’s been a month since Toby was attacked, he’s still more reactive than he used to be but he’s still better than he was when we first got him. We’ve got him a jacket to say “reactive not aggressive” which at least lets people understand his behaviour. Hopefully won’t need it long term but we’ll see.

And as always any excuse for a picture

Had a bit of play with next doors Rottweiler. He's an awesome dog. Still a puppy but mahooosive. He never barks, is inquisitive but calm. My neighbour got him from the same breeder where his parents got their family dogs when he was a kid. So Dakota is the the same bloodline which I think is pretty cool.

Rottweilers rock!

Dave!

Neighbor has added Dakota's half sister to the flock. (Same Dad). Lovely ball of fluff now and apparently, bullying her full size brother

@jamcg Met a couple of dogs from Glasgow Greyhound Trust at a party over the weekend as one of the folks that runs that org was also there.

They had a girl (that they have adopted into their home) with only half her jaw remaining on one side (leaving her with a squinty face) who was very sweet and - surprisingly - wanted to chew at the decking whenever she got a chance. They also had a boy with them that they are fostering whilst waiting for an adopter to take over - he was friendly with everyone but took a particular shine to me and just wanted to lean on me and get fussed all afternoon. Really lovely dogs. (but no - we can't take another K9 on )

Greyhounds are awesome, if anyone’s ever considering one don’t discount black ones. For some reason they end up being the last ones to be adopted.

They’re also the smallest big dog you can find, as they’ll happily curl up into a little ball so you don’t need a lot of space for them

They also are lazy shits so don’t need anywhere near the exercise everyone thinks

A male and female is a good mix, naturally the female defends the flock and the males fight the intruder.

Mine just fight over who gets the attention first.

Yep, a gentle gallop for 10 minutes or a 30 minute walk and they are gomden. They also have very soft fur which makes them lovely cuddlers.

Just in case anyone is interested, or knows anyone that could be interested….

Treina made me delete the Facebook dog pages as she was annoyed at how many dogs I wanted to adopt. Considering she is a single mum for 6 months a year I think this was a sensible choice.

Dave!
