Adopted Doggy

[Artist]

You should call him 'Bollox'. Meet a yummy mummy in the street and ask her if she fancies stroking your bollox.

Nice one Stix. A certain person however would soon find an entirely new use for mine iffen I tried that approach.................Earrings!

Beast cheers for the chuckup ref the photo. All done with a mobile phone camera thingy ma jig.

Sitrep on the dawgy.......

In the three weeks we've had him we've had to let his collar out three notches.

His Rottie heritage is doing him proud. We have to pick him up and carry him past other dawgies ........ big, small and indifferent. He is also sh*t scared of spiders, beetles and their ilk.

He tattooed l'Artiste on his bonce the other day. He (dog, not Artist) had sh*t on the landing, pathered round in it, then jumped on the bed to say ''Good Morning'' to his master ........ completed by planting a heap big sh*tty paw print on his face!

It was not funny.

I did not laugh.






Much.

He is a GOOD BOY!

Nice photo of the dog.

The four-legged one before you say it, Harry!

Bloody 'orrible one of me, taken last night after braving apocalyptic rain on a mission to the off-door. The things I do for two-for-a-fiver dry whites.

Nice jim-jams, though, ay?

Another bonus of doggy ownership is that our loathsome cat has moved into the garden shed in a fit of pique. RESULT!!

PJs, Jayney?
Oi fort it wuz zummer toime
He`s coming on Jayne isn`t he? Have you sorted obediance classes yet? Doesn`t take much effort and you will really appreciate them. Pity they don`t do obediance classes for wimmin I say

Take coverrrrr

[JoJo82]

wow he looks like a mummy's boy! You've both done a good job in finding such a great doggy!

[Kiwi1988]

Ohhh he is cute!

Yeah wont be doing that long when he gets bigger

Harry honey you can run but to can't hide.

That tracking device they implanted is working well by the way.

You look like a half cut snake, wiggling all over the monitor.

And if you don't know how to handle wimmin now big boy, you might just need to stick to your kanga's honey.

[Sisyphus]

Are you sure he's got rottie blood? He looks identical to our dobe when she was about 3 months old? Well, identical, apart from the 'bits'

[flighty]

Absolutely.

We met both his parents. Dad, a huge, daft Rottie. Mum, a skinny greyhound.

Nearly everyone thinks he is a Doberman, though, including the nurse in the vet's.

I'm going to take him to classes, Harry, now that he's fully vaccinated / wormed. He's going to have to get over his phobia of other canines, though. Not much point in classes if I'm going to have to carry the bugger through the exercises!

Growl back at him, and stare him in the eye until HE looks away, you have to be his 'alpha male', and stand up to do this, don't go down to his level, you have to enforce that you are the boss.

Save cursing at him for when you are telling him off, and growl it at him ('effing enough!' or 'effing stop that'). He'll know then that he gets spoken to in this way when he has done something wrong. If you contrast this with making a fuss of him ('good boy' etc) when he does something right or on command, he will get the picture. Have a few little doggy treats handy too to reward him. Same method can stop him barking too...unless of course he needs a damper, that might be his way of telling you. If he is still pi**ing in the house, just take him out at regular intervals, whether he goes or not...'business' is the word we use.

Hope this is of some help.

[harry hackedoff]

Good advice there Stevie, it`s all about consistency. Reward good behaviour and punish bad.
And once you`ve sorted Artist out, Flighty, it`ll be time to start on the dawg
