Post photos of your dogs (Vol 4)
Discussion
Thanks for the nice comments 
I cried a little earlier as I dealt with the situation. Driving to the vet with her happily sitting next to me, our usual Queen greatest hits blasting out, it was hard to try and think of the nice times rather than the current situation. But now its all done I'm sitting here happy, not sad. I need to be realistic about these things. She had a horrible life till we got her, but we couldn't change that. She was already terminal when I took her on. She lived way longer than expected, had a superb time here whether it was hanging around at home with my dogs:
Or whether it was on our daily trips to the shelter:
My own dogs might not have loved her or paid any real attention to her but they accepted her and she was happy living our her last days here. She had the best she could have had and I need to be happy with it. If I took any other line of thought I'd drive myself bonkers taking on these cases
No doubt I'll have a fresh post in this very thread soon with a new guest.
Anyway no need of any further sad replies, lets get back to the uplifting stuff of your dogs doing cool stuff, lets go

A true hero you are Algarve, nice that she had a nice home at the end. I cried a little earlier as I dealt with the situation.

What apps do people use to resize photos? All of mine are either too large or the upload image says "no image"
Try the free and very good Irfanview - https://www.irfanview.com/

Obviously the dog nappy is for a different reason, but our Frenchy Nellie, uses exactly that pose when she does a Poo, she tries to find a convenient fence or wall to stand up against. I’ve never seen another dog do that. Very wierd.
Never seen a dog doing that before either!

Its great what you do for the dogs there, I don't think I could do it myself but glad there are people that can and do!
I have heard many times before (and also believe it myself) that dogs live in the moment and not the past, so its great she had the time with you before she passed on so she could go a happy dog for sure!
