'It'll never happen'! That's what they said. H & D in the same photo, impossible.

Well they are both sampling the best water in their lives at petownersonline.

It can be done.

Did they catch anything? They both look like they are looking at the same thing - possibly something edible and swimming?

They both look so cute!!!

Jem, they are so used to jumping in the sea that they couldn't understand why a freshwater lake tasted so good. This was Bassenthwaite (?) lake near Lorton and much bigger than any fresh water lake they'd ever seen. They thought it should be salty like the sea.

As for cute, well, yes they can be. But I take out two white dogs and come back with two black mucky pups. They are not so cute then!

We don't mind too much though. We want them to have a chance of enjoying every type of walk possible. The seaside (we have a couple of wide open beaches nearby), Forest and above all the lake district are favourites.

I used to have a Rottie cross with black lab......and
many a time I used to come home to the kids coloring
in his tan markings!! Then he just looked like a stocky
lab.

And to think that VFRgal wouldn't let me paint St Georges crosses on them for the world cup!

Half the time Casper was asleep, but he just let you
anyway.
One time I came home and casper was lying
down, shaking....the kids had let the hamster out
and it was walking all over him...not a happy puppy.
He was scared of the cockatiel too, it used to chase
him around the living room!!

When I was a kid my Boxer used to lay down in front of the coal fire. He became a bridge for my toy cars and never flinched. He is the reason why we went for 2 Boxers now.

Must be a thing with utility dogs, only move if you have to.

'Must be a thing with utility dogs, only move if you have to.'

Working dogs.

*Outrider steps onto chair and turns to face the wall, glared at by 2 'working' Boxers!

I just couldn't get over that my rottie was
scared of a tiny little hamster and he was best
friends with my cat...My husband used to take him for
walks....Very long walks with the dog's jaws stuck
to one of his boots...whilst my hubby was still
wearing them!!
