After losing my old friend Mac well over a year ago I finally felt it was time to give a new dog a home.

Lovely dog Gray.
You'll have your hands full there!
Cheers,
Neil.
Here's my two. Bess (on the left) - springer/lab cross and Bernie - staffy/whippet cross we think ( rescue dog).
My middle son sent me a pic of his young English Bull Terrier so I thought I'd post it here.
She's called Bianca (white in Spanish) and my son and daughter in law couldn't understand the laughter they got from us on originally hearing the name, not being cognisant with Eastenders!
She's a great looker though.
Cheers,
Neil.
Bianca is lovely. All these pics of EBTs is making me want one! :)
She's a beauty. We're not familiar with Eastenders overhere, so the name wouldn't raise an ayebrow here. A few years back, when on holiday, we met an older couple with a beautiful BT called Josephine, completely with all sorts of pink accessories like the collar, blanket in the bench etc. For us, at that time, it was very 'out of sync' with the character of our BT as we knew it. Ours certainly wasn't a 'pink' type of BT...

She seems to have settled in now. ;-)

I grew up with my granddad's dog "Bob" and remember sobbing for days when he had to be put down.
Yes, that's me in the picture, it must have been taken about 20 years ago.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
This is Mitzie my Aunt's dog, taken last summer in the Brecons;
Were you on safari in the Brecons?

What are Beagles like as daughter would like one?
Beagles are great pets, very intelligent, super loving and beautiful dogs that train well with treats. They will do anything for treats. Don't really suffer from any health problems.
Bad things are they are known to be a bit of a handful if they get bored and not the greatest at recall. Bear in mind they are a dog that love the security of a pack, most bloom with other dogs/beagles.
Hope this helps but anything specific just ask

Busted ...
Sorry ...
Really sorry to hear that N2. It only takes a sad tale like this to bring a tear to the eye alongside all those memories and feelings that we have to go through when we lose such a great friend. They are always with us.
Speaking of work some dogs do:-
Hero dogs receive bravery awards: Canine OBEs for dogs who helped at scenes of terror attacks
A police mutt probably wouldn’t know what to do with a medal, unless you covered it in gravy or made it look like a tasty chihuahua.He or she is much more likely to appreciate an extra few biscuits for dinner – and would probably love you forever.That is probably what seven dogs from the Met and British Transport Police are tucking into this week.Seven police dogs who supported the cops and paramedics during the London terror attacks at Westminster Bridge, London Bridge and Borough Market have been honoured for their heroic actions by vet charity PDSA.They were awarded the PDSA Order of Merit – the animal equivalent of the OBE – at a ceremony on Tuesday.The dogs have been chosen to represent the 19 dogs who served during the 2017 attacks. From the Met, they are Kai, Delta and Dave and from the BTP Bruno, Marci, Jax and Bobby.

He’s too gorgeous for much of a bollocking. Current tab is one pair of new Grenson’s, one pair of glasses and the Sinn strap.
His predecessor, sadly now gone, ripped the interior of a new VW Golf apart in 10 minutes on the first day we rescued him. £3,000! He didn’t get any bollocking as he had been badly abused in his first 6 months, so much so that 10 years on he still cowed if we picked up a broom or mop even though he’d not been hit once in those years.
Now, if anyone did it to my car, I'd turn it to a soap bar. Just kidding! I'd be worried sick if the poor bastard ate any of the plastic trim or leather bits and get a bowls obstruction.. :roll: It's absolutely sickening what some 'humans' are capable of doing to the critters who are totally dependent on them for food and water.. Well done giving that dog a second chance in life, they give us in return so much love and fun.
Anyway, I bet the strap was delicious ;) would be great to see more pix of the rascal :)
