    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

    Same here, it is too costly keeping a dog. I won't be replacing Gus for that very reason.

    @Birdwatcher Lucky you! My daft dog never shows any understanding. You go to play with his Kong, and he about wrenches my your arm out it's socket. He thankfully releases quickly on command.

    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. 😏

    Thank you, @DogMama, I'm biased, but I agree. ☺️
