Dub Dogs, let’s see them :)

He's a gorgeous boy. When i've chose Labrador puppies I always choose the ones that seem cheekiest. Lemmy had no fear and trotted over to msay hello. Bruce was busy stealing his brothers and sisters food. Geddy was shoving his siblings out the way to get to the warmest part of the dog bed. That guarantees they have plenty of character...sometimes more than id bargained for!
Huxley is a bit like Lord Flashheart from Blackadder, when he enters a room you know all about it. First day with his new boarders in London he went straight in and nicked everything that was in reach. He was like that with us and they couldn't train it out of him. But when he does his guiding work he is so good they are prepared to overlook it and put him with someone who will tolerate it (someone with no stuff or just very tidy). That's why he was picked for london only the reslient ones go there. They will also pick his partner probably to be young and who will work him hard. There's a lot more to the whole guide dog process than people realise it's not just churn them out they and the people who need then are carefully assessed to ge a good match. We may or may not ever hear any more about him depends on his new owner if they want to share or not, it's their choice.
 
Well done with Huxley! Our Flo (withdrawn guide dog, but we don't mention it), has certainly been an emotional support dog since her arrival in our house! Sadly, mother in law passed away last week, and she has looked after my Mrs so lovingly, she's a fabulous pet, but would happily pull a blind owner under a bus if there was another dog on the other side of the road! They're not all cut out to be guide dogs for sure! She loves the van, sleeps right under the bed, I have space to get dressed on a van morning! I would recommend a withdrawn guide dog to anyone! Love her!

She looks like she is harbouring some ‘cheese guilt’ in that second picture.

I'm hoping that was for 2? Poor girl was shivering that night, she's not keen on the elastic straps that go round her back legs but she certainly appreciated the warmth, quality product!
 
Our puppy, Geddy, who at 8 months old is bigger than his adult brother, has developed a taste for the milky froth on the top of Mrs Sasquatches macchiato coffee. This occurred one day when she put her cup down to answer the phone, and now hes trying to get his nose in the cup before shes even finished drinking.

This came to a head the other day round my friends house when he smelled a cup of coffee in the kitchen and knocked it over trying to get to the froth (there wasnt any, it was just nescafe.)

And yesterday the pair enjoyed a ride out innthe van to my oldest lasses house and were knackered when they arrived home, and needed a good snooze to recover.

Ralph the Bichon Frise/ Westie cross & Poppy a pure Bichon who we sort of got off a family member due to work commitments. He’s 7 soon & she’s 13 this year. They go everywhere with us, but we’ve been struggling a bit since Ralph tore his cruciate ligament. Surgery in February has been successful & we’re building him back up physiotherapy in water treadmill & certain exercises. Poppy has cost us a packet with teeth issues & as I’m soon finishing work hopefully that’s the end of pet expenditure for a while. 🙄IMG_4595.webpIMG_4594.webpIMG_4599.webpIMG_4596.webpIMG_4597.webp
 
My old labrador, Lemmy, once stole an entire joint of beef and ate it in seconds. He was adept at snatching sandwiches or busicuits from the hands of the unwary, and once leaped up like a shark snatching a seal and in one go grabbed a guests dinner from their plate.

I do miss him though. He just turned 8 when cancer took him.

Young Geddy is actually his great-nephew. Lemmy's breeder was doing one last litter then giving it up due to age, so it was our last chance to have a little piece of Lemmy back with us, and apart from his colour is so like Lemmy its scary.
 
Labradors are notorious for being a little greedy! We had a golden Labrador growing up as kids the most beautiful natured dog and done well being 16 when she passed after her back gave way🙁
Got a frenchie now absolute fruit cake🤣

Gone away with all three this week.

Masie, the miniature schnauzer. Right little rat bag.
Max, the cockerpoo, neediest dog alive.
Arlo, the labradoodle, rescued him about 9 months ago. About the size of a horse and has the brains of an old pair of socks. He’s a van veteran, comes to work most weeks with me.
