Hi to both of you, and yes it's a very cool name, biblical and historical, I love it. It's a bit classier than my boy, his names Bear lol (sorry boy !) If we get another I hope we think a little more carefully lol, although he's an atheist and I'm a pagan so it could be interesting !

Please don't take this the wrong way and I know your an adult and your living on your own anyway, but I'm with your mum on this, 19 is young to be in your own place, 19 in your own place in a whole different country to the rest of the family ? Nope, no way, couldn't do it! Lol. The house looks amazing, I can't imagine the fun your going to have, don't forget pics of the first time mishka meets the pony !

You may be a bit sweaty (although you don't look it) but it's honest sweat earned making life better for your dog's, kids and you, the only better sweat would be earned reaching for a mojito on a tropical beach while kids and dogs play in the surf ! She looks lovely, by the way

Thank you, and be careful what you wish for, the main problem I have had with bear is the same one I had with my son, he had a huge growth spurt at a young age and because he was big everyone expected him to act like a much older boy, and when he acted his age they were annoyed, when bear acts like the puppy he is people often think he's just badly behaved, when in fact he's doing ok for 9 months.

Well it came, he walked, and he bit, one second he was merrily running around, the next he turned and chewed, GRRR ! He hasn't chewed through it but ...... my question is do I now trust it ? And if I don't, can I return it, I mean, it's not like he's a 12 stone rottie or GSD, he's still a puppy shouldn't it stand up to a little chew, ( about 15 secs)

Welcome Steph, to you and your furkids

I feel better knowing it's not just me lol,

That is possibly the strangest thing I have ever seen !

But you still have to get out of the house lol

Dare I ask, why ?

I was wondering, has anyone else noticed that the way they dress has changed since they got their dog ? Because since we got Bear I seem to live in denim, not pretty denim but practical jeans and a denim jacket, t-shirts and polo tops instead of nice tops, dresses and skirts are a forgotten thing (although right now I'm glad I did) and the thought of trying to hold him in a pair of heels terrifys me lol, ladies do you ever go back to dressing nicely or am I destined to denim forever

Lol bear makes all sorts of noises in his sleep, at night it's like a symphony, bear on one side and the oh the other, they sometimes snore in concert

they're all stretched out and I bet you squashed into about 4 inches lol

I know you agreed to do this for a week, but this whole thing seems to be putting so much stress on you storm, maybe you need to think about handing them over to robs cousin. It's not failing and its not giving in, it's doing what is best for everyone, their dogs, your dog's, and you. Please think of yourself just for a minute,

Aww good boy Kaiser, tell mummy she should start charging, your probably better than half the buskers in london !

Love this, at least it's in the privacy of your home, bear adopts this position 90% of the time someone says hello

Might be an idea to get a camera and mic pointed at your front door, that way if any other notes are left you have proof where they came from. Neighbours like this are horrible, if you come home and he or they are outside yours don't get out of the car babe, call the police, all calls re recorded leave it on speaker just in case they have a moan at you, good luck storm.

Dog whisperer in the making ! Well done him

Have a great time liv, don't work too hard

i can't wait

I have the same as above and have had a few problems with the mechanism jamming, if you have to grab the cord it bl####y hurts, I've just ordered the flexi giant (should be here Tom yay) after seeing rogues one last weekend, so will let you know how that goes !

That looks like a he'll of a smash were you badly hurt ? Thank the godess for sturdy vehicles. And can I say for pics as well, apart from the one car I wouldn't know one from another lol

When he was little, treats and a pair of leather gloves, now, lightening fast reflects (need not got lol, see mortifying dog thread)

I was quite relieved that I had nothing to add to this thread, now I do. Out at the shops earlier, little (very little) old lady comes to say hello to bear, tells me how pretty he is, I agree, tells me how good he is lying calmly, I start to agree when he shoves his nose under the hem of her skirt and STANDS UP, taking her skirt with him revealing all (and I do mean all) to the world. Pulled him out from under and he had a big cheesy grin on his face,

Ewwwwww
