National Puppy Day - let's see your pictures!
National Puppy Day
It's National Puppy Day! It may be an unofficial day, but to me it feels like a very important one to celebrate especially as things have been a bit tough lately. The day was invented to celebrate the joy of puppies and encourage people to adopt and rescue pups all over the world.
It's definitely worth saying that rescues are often full with older dogs who have just as much love to give as the little ones. But of course, what the day is really about is just finding a good excuse to share cute pictures of our furry friends π
So let me introduce you to Ted, a terrier pup we looked after a few times. He came in two modes: sleep or chaos. One time the two combined and he fell asleep mid-chaos having been gently asked not to chew holes in the blanket:
And here's my family's pet Moose when he was little. Another little monster but a cutie!
Of course, while it's technically a day for puppies, we don't discriminate here. Puppies can be hard work and the oldies are just as worthy of being celebrated. So we would love to see some pictures of your pups whether they're young or old π
So over to you! Bring on the puppy pics!

This is my partner's Jack Russell puppy Bertie back in November 2022. Don't be fooled by the innocent expression. πΆ He's very loving but still a typical Jack Russell.
In his third year he still has a very cute face but he's grown up to be very independent and stubborn! πHe's such a character but wouldn't do without him though, of course. π

Hi Ranald, is your puppy elderly? I've been very blessed to have friends with dogs, i look after the other dogs a lot so there are four of them in a wee pack. Although Fhian is very nervy he's very social and happiest chasing round the house or garden at top speed, jumping on and off the furniture! π Good job everything is old and tatty!

Gosh that is difficult. My dog is hostile to other dogs he meets outside, especially males.... out of fear. These three dog friends are all female and he's known them since puppyhood. I wouldn't attempt to introduce him to another boy dog.
I also take him on evening walks when people are usually having supper and the street and fields are quiet.
I also can't afford a doggy psychologist, and the vet keeps suggesting it because he's so fearful....but he went to all the puppy classes and socialization groups at that same vet, to no avail!π He's never been traumatised, he's just naturally nervy and timid. My last two dogs were so chilled out and the same breed, trained the same way.π€·
It's hard having a neurotic dog but we do our best for them and at least they have us. As a mentally ill woman that society rejects I'm not going to reject this dog for having similar problems, we can be misfits together. π

My pup when she was 8-9 weeks old

Oh how lovely all these puppies young and old! I miss all my babies over the years. I would love to have a dog but things are tough and more so if the cuts go through. Puppies of all ages are a joy in one's life and make life brighter

My puppys 13 this year. But she's still my puppy! I wish I knew how to upload photos but I don't. She's the height of a greyhound with the body of a Labrador so she's my big little girl. And an absolute sweetheart! I've not been too well this past couple of weeks but she's been gentler than ever. Had trouble with my leg and although she's come close enough to sniff she's never attempted to actually touch it. When I have a bad arthritis day she always knows where it's most painful, she looks, she sniffs ,she doesn't touch. She did the same to my neighbour when she'd got a painful hand. Don't know how she knows, just does. The nurse came out earlier to see me and was asking background questions. I told her, my dog's the reason I keep getting up in a morning. May sound daft but it's true

I've had dogs in my life since I was two, the longest I've been without is three years & that was my last dog that I still miss/ed dreadfully. I was going through a really bad patch & had to resort to antidepressants. My GP knew I had always had dogs & suggested I got another, a dachs as they don't need loads of exercise. It would be good company & get me out, plus talking to people (and she now is a people magnet, too much of one!). I knew having another would give me something to live for, so Hattie is that pup. Even though times are hard, she is my focus & I will go without so she thrives. The difference she has made to my life is truly worth it & sometime soon, I'll hopefully drop the antidepressants.
@Ranald, Hattie might be smaller than yours, but she is rather good at ripping my arm from shoulder when she scents something. π
