What does your dog mean to you

[chewton 7]

I've been through thick and thin with the dog I got at the moment. Its fed my family and mates, earned us a few quid when we've been skint and guarded us. I understand people moving dogs on if they don't get on with them though as with any relationship its torture if you don't get on for whatever reason. Its a shame though that some people keep blaming the dog for their lack of success rather than trying to improve their own skills in working and handling dogs.I run a dog for the love of it and at the end of the day if I just wanted a tool to do the job I'd get a gun

I've just lost my dog (Moses) of nearly 14 years. Other than my family, he was my longest relationship! We went through good times and bad, but he was always there - happy to see me, always patient and not complaining of my failures. It's clear to me that regardless of the reason I originally got him, he wormed his way into my heart in a way that few other people have.

 

He was a true friend and I'm a soppy sod.

I totally agree mate, i'd have my pup sleeping at the foot of my bed if the wife would let me ! lol

 

Wait till its bigger and wants the full bed

 

My dogs are part of the family,the terrier hates my oldest son but loves the other two,then theres the lurcher that aint intrested in anyone but me,keeps my chair warm when i get up.

 

If they turned out to be shit workers i would keep them as they are just as much pets as workers and going out for a mooch is always good when the wifes on her high horse or the hangovers kicking in.
