We are still here having fun 🐾😊

I’m always admin adverse (don’t like it) and sometimes I’m completely non admin.

Hope you guys are all well and enjoying the summer 😜😬🤣 xx

We’re all loving the Spring grass 🐾❤️🐾

Good job there is some otherwise we wouldn’t know it was Spring/ Summer 🤔

Have a lovely weekend xx

26/05/2024

I have to confess I got quite attached to not using my phone.

So photos are late and an undefined period 😜

We all had lots of fun though as always 🐾❤️

Enjoy the bank holiday luckily someone told me otherwise I’d be wondering where the dogs are on Monday 🤣🤣

They are loving the spring grass. Cat nip for dogs 😜

Early mornings and evenings great for lunacy. When it’s too hot short outside trips. Chilling inside with the air con and brain games.

We’re definitely not bored and my face looks like a well used piece of leather 🤣🤣

Hope you had a lovely weekend. Watch the heat for the Cool Canines.

Sorry for lack of pictures. I had Labyrinthitis and using my phone gave me vertigo.

We’re still here though 😜 Actually it was nice not the vertigo 🤣 not using the phone though lovely 🥰

Hope everyone is well and has a lovely weekend 🐶🐾❤️

Better later than never 😜

Completely confused as to whether it’s the right time period; as have been downloading old pictures for sketching (Cool Canines obviously!)

Hope everyone is enjoying the not mentioned S weather.

We’ve had a ball 🐾🥰

30/03/2024

Not the best pictures. It’s not been particularly phone friendly weather wise 😜🤣 I will never mention the Sp***g word again 😬

It’s looking dry for the weekend hope you all enjoy an extended break. Xx

Not written by me. It’s very true 🐾

Everyone who is thinking of getting dogs should read this because you need to understand this reality:

***I am a 21st century dog.***
-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for fighting bears.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.

I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.
I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.
Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.
I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.
You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.
If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!
If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.
I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.
So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.

It’s lovely having lighter mornings albeit it feels a bit strange not having had a proper winter.

We can look forward to that in March it seems over the last couple of years. I love winter snow + light mornings + sun. Bliss ☺️

I don’t commute now so can totally see I wouldn’t be excited if I did have too!!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend 🐾🐾 xx

I was talking to a few Cool Canines parents some who’s Cool Canines I’ve been looking after for 5/ 6 years.

I’m not good about dates or time I don’t even know what year it is 😜. It was a bit of a shock I still think of them at the age they first started.

Which also means Oreo is 9ish. 😳 thankfully I’m still 22 😆

I hope you’ve all enjoyed a bit of dry weather. We definitely have 😁

Have a lovely weekend xx

Hope everyone has had a good week. X🐾X

A man from Arizona recently found the author of the famous "Rainbow Bridge" poem. Her name is Edna Clyne-Rekhy, an 82-year-old Scottish artist who wrote the poem 60 years ago in honor of her dog Major.
