Shot with 10x digital zoom so not the best quality to show this fine fox enjoying autumn sunshine sheltered from the chill wind. A hundred yards or so away and totally unfazed by either myself or Dogzilla admiring them. We looked at each other for several minutes before the fox suddenly upped and ran off .
A friend for the dog?
I agree seeing them having so much fun, I thought it was strapped on with a treat then I seen they actually hold the akaso 360 in there mouths 
Had a wee No2 cut by me as I wanted my dog not scalped by a dog groomer, I wash and blow dry him every Saturday, this is from a man 6’3" well built grunts and snarls at others who said he will only own big dogs and never be seen dead with a wee one but I fuffing adore him especially as he has no time for the wifey he will not go anywhere with her as much as she trys to bribe him, gets up when I do and bed when I go 
He makes me smile and feel happy every moment I’m with him
I’m really lucky from what I hear from cockapoos he’s the opposite he loves relaxing no anxieties can be left on his own without the whining and barking.
Only thing he’s the hardest to feed as he’s not interested in dog food dry or wet, cat food dry or wet he loves and constantly nicking the cats food before it automatically closes 
Not fussed on dog treats or human food unless it’s steak or chops, fortunately you can leave cake chocolates and biscuits and sweets out as he’s not interested, having Labrador’s it’s a massive difference. He does love prawn crackers thou 
Looking good
‘Trying to be the man my dog thinks I am’ is something I’ve tried to live by since my boy joined the household. This pic was taken in August 2014 when he was just over 12 weeks old, and the first pic taken in his new home.
Time moves on and the other year he had major surgery to remove a cancerous lump, which resulted in on ear being pulled further back towards his neck and the other closer to the top of his head, giving him a new unique characteristic.
Today, the phrase I started this post with changes slightly and becomes ‘I tried to be the man my dog thinks I am. I just hope I succeeded’.
Having taken him to the vets this morning, they kept him in for tests. Following a couple of phone calls between me/vet and me/wifey, the worst decision in the world was taken. I’m just thankful he was still there when we got there.
I haven’t just lost my dog, I’ve lost my best mate
Gutted for you.
Had to make that decision with Sophie #1 35 years ago.
Tough for me - but I knew her quality of life had gone and her dignity would soon follow .. so the decision, as tough as it was, was also a very easy one to make.
The exact situation we were in. Was a hard call, but the best for all, three of us
I’m so sorry to hear this 
We do it for the best of reasons, to end their suffering, but they leave a dog-shaped hole in our hearts 
So sorry for your loss Dave. As you say, the toughest decision a dog owner ever has to make and its never easy. As already said, once the quality of life has gone, we owe our dogs a dignified ending and to prevent further suffering. Unfortunately, it is all too easy to prolong the pain purely to satisfy our own selfishness. You’ve done the right thing - he’s been a good pal to you all his life and when he needed it most - you’ve been a good pal to him and released him from his pain.
Thank you for be a good caring “Dad” - my thoughts are with you and your family - bless you all
I’m so sorry 
Sorry to hear the sad news Dave I agree they become your best friend, we’ve lost all ours over last 3 years and said never again go through the heartache again, but a year later we rescued one from a animal sanctuary and he will never replace my other dogs but he’s given me that same unconditional love that dogs do and makes me smile many time everyday.
Absolutely devastated for you it’s heartbreaking to go through my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family
Sorry for your loss, we had to make that decision 2 years ago, still hurts like hell
I’ve thought for a couple of hours about posting this here, and eventually decided to because in some small way I think it helps me, I just hope nobody minds.
Brought my boy home this evening and he’s currently in his favourite spot on the settee next to me, with his favourite cushion that he pinched from me a few years ago.
He also came home with this which broke the dam and had me in floods, especially when I think back to how I could never get him to look at the camera for a photo.
I feel your pain having lost 2 rescue dogs over the years. Each loss is hard to take as they truly are a best friend that takes up hours of your day and make you laugh and smile. When they are gone they leave a huge hole and you suddenly have hours of free time and you wonder what to do with yourself. We have the ashes of each dog in a special picture frame on the wall, and we still remember their individual personality and funny traits. We said we’d never get another after the last heartbreak, but inevitably you do and the house is filled with chaos and madness again. Take care and remember that you have so many lovely memories, and you gave them a wonderful home and happy life.
So sorry to hear this, hon, it is absolutely heartbreaking to lose a member of the family, and that’s what our pets are, members of the family…
My thoughts are with you, never an easy time, but the love remains and the pain will get easier to bear with time,
