Haven't been on this thread for a bit, wow, I will have to nick some of Mrs B's amazing pics of our cockerpoo who is getting into her sunset years. Beginning to wonder about getting a second dog to keep her company, and also (looking ahead to the awful moment) thinking about the idea of two dogs generally. The pics on here of two-dog households are heartwarming and we are lucky enough to live in a beautiful rural environment with fantastic walking. What do folk who have had one dog and also two dogs think is the best number of dogs in a household?
We have had one two and three dogs at various times.Two works for us. I don’t think they are much more work than just one.
With three there always seemed to be one getting up to mischief.
Good luck and look forward to seeing photos.
t up too between Barry and Daisy.Second dog though is brilliant, I was against it for a while and then Barry came along to keep Daisy company, it was brilliant.
I've avoided this thread for a few months, I've missed Pesty's numerous posts, I've been a little bit bitter, a lot jealous and I've honestly had my heart broken by a dog, a rescue.
I didn't know when I'd come back, dogs aren't cheap at the minute and I'm not paying overs for a sh*t machine, who demands you get out of bed on the days when you want to pull the duvet up over your ears and don't want to face the world. But they're not just machines, they feel what we feel, I honestly believe they feel and know a lot more than we'll ever understand. Dogs are the best in us and of us.
I honestly don't think I would have cried as much if the wife had died, I sat with Baxter to the very end and it has been difficult, but the kindness of strangers on t'internet has been amazing. Some of my real world friends have been amazing too, some that I didn't expect to be so good, maybe I just didn't realise that they cared.
Today, we started a new chapter in our life, is it too soon? Only time will tell, but our house hasn't been a home without a dog, without a Dobie.
Today we picked up Hugo/Luka/ Bobby (Firmino) I'm leaning towards Bobby. He's eleven weeks old, he might never grow into those ears, but he's a typical Dobie and he just walked in here this evening like he owns the place. Now we need a companion for him.

Bobby looks great, let’s hope his teeth are as white as Firmino’s I didn't know when I'd come back, dogs aren't cheap at the minute and I'm not paying overs for a sh*t machine, who demands you get out of bed on the days when you want to pull the duvet up over your ears and don't want to face the world.

I hope he’s only on the table for the ‘photo shoot’ .... not a good habit to get into. I’m all for preventing accidents when it comes to dogs.

Photo from the breeder, we’d never have a dog on a table. Though he has made himself at home on the sofa tonight.I hope he’s only on the table for the ‘photo shoot’ .... not a good habit to get into. I’m all for preventing accidents when it comes to dogs.
We’d normally use a crate to train our puppies, but he’s not having it and I just can’t force him into a politely named cage. It’s going to be a long night, but I’m not one for sleep before morning (insomnia) so we’ll see how things work out.

You are absolutely right about their feelings. Both of mine are usually glued to me or near me. Mil died a few weeks ago and both have been cuddling and staying with my other half. Logan is so in tune it’s scary.
Sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine.

I understand the cage thing. We’ve always kept puppies in them at night, give them their meals in there they get used to it very quickly. We have 3 dogs (Staffords) at the moment. Even though none of them get put into their cages anymore, they literally run into them when dinners ready... which is a good thing. Makes sure they get to finish their own dinners, otherwise the male would try to eat the lot. The dogs are now 6 9 & 14. Crates/Cages might seem cruel to people not familiar with them but used in the right way.... not at all. Anyway all the best with him. Sergio would be a better name We’d normally use a crate to train our puppies, but he’s not having it and I just can’t force him into a politely named cage. It’s going to be a long night, but I’m not one for sleep before morning (insomnia) so we’ll see how things work out.
.....Aguero.
