Oh how lovely! I hope lots of puppies come and visit me grin

Didn't know about this one. I would love love love a puppy but can't have one due to having 4 rogues that have ended up with me as no-one else wanted them. Never had a fresh right from the start puppy, always had other peoples rejects but I love them anyway. Pups breath always smells like toast or Weetabix.
Does anything happen on National Puppy Day??

I wish! Not yet as we lost our adored boy a month ago aged 9yrs 9 mths....much too soon sad

Oh!lily it is one of the worse things to lose such a dear family member.

Thank you Whitewave, he's the third dog we've had but has hit us hardest. Happy memories but it's still raw.

Oh lily that’s tough, I do feel for you. Losing a much loved pet is so hard to bear flowers

Feel for you also lily lost our Molly late last year,still keep having a weep..still keep thinking she's here, pulling doors shut behind me so she doesn't run out,looking behind me when am moving away from the sink so that I don't fall over her etc etc really miss having a dog..keep looking online at rescue homes but just not quite sure yet...

We lost out dog on February 8th in 2009 and got our new pup on October 5th 2009.

On my lap is the puppy I brought home yesterday. She was born on the day my beloved Cavalier died two months ago.
I wanted a rescue dog, I said I’m too old for a pup and they’re such hard work, but I couldn’t find what I wanted. So here’s Polly, the cutest baby pug cross. I love her already and my cat doesn’t mind her because she’s teeny weeny.

Here’s Polly

Oh oh oh watermeadow photo needed!!

First night we hardly had any sleep as it is so hard for the pups having been taken away from everything they’ve ever known. Started by putting him in a holding cage in our bedroom. He cried so much we got too upset and so he was let out never to return and slept by the side of the bed nuzzling our hand. He now has his bed in the bedroom and spends all night totally happy and content on his back - legs in the air.

What a lovely time you are going to have??

whitewave Mon 26-Mar-18 19:01:49

Thank you blimey she’s tiny

Oh Watermeadow she is just gorgeous!!!

MrsJamJam Tue 27-Mar-18 08:39:27

I am coming over all broody! Our boy is nearly 5 now and we sometimes wonder about getting a pup before he is too old because a dogless house is too awful to contemplate. Just love that puppy smell!

This is DH with a our beautiful Golden Retriever sadly missed!! as is DH's dark hair and beard - all snowy now.

watermeadow gorgeous. Our boy was a pug and if Polly has all the traits she'll totally rule the roost. Love and enjoy her.

We lost Hattie yesterday (kidneys had failed). But she left this world lying on her cushion looking out over the garden in Bamburgh; her favourite place in the world. Would have been 11 tomorrow. She's been on borrowed time for a long time, but it doesn't make it any easier. Thankfully, the family are staying with us, so we have to put on a brave face for the boys. Not sure where we go from here. I've not been without a dog for 40 years, and the emptiness in the house is tangible. I may do some fostering for a while.....if there's a doggie heaven, that's where she is, because there wasn't a nasty bone in her body....

Oh tegan I cry for you! It is utterly unbearable to lose your dear friend. Give yourself time to grieve. You will almost certainly change your mind in the months/weeks to come.
