Rodders Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 just got word from parents, our elder dog Candy passed away this morning. Was on the decline a bit with deafness and the like, and at 14 was quite old I guess. Still sad, The younger dog Meg ( on the left below ) was a very loyal companion, and wouldn't really socialise with too many other dogs, - Candy was a substitute parent I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 My two year old sprocker has had the shits and been sick for the last few days, if its last any longer will have to take him to the vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not exactly looking to hijack the thread about dogs but this is dogs related. Right so basically as said in my rant, I'm (trying) to do up a fixer-upper to get it borderline ready to live in ready for when me rent agreement expires. Right. So, I usually come, do stuff and shoot off. Like last time I ranted, I'm staying over to carry on stuff tomorrow. Right. I'm ready to conk out , it's 1030. All the neighbours lights off they're asleep. I'm gonna have a word first thing tomorrow rather than blast them out of bed but Jesus Christ it apparently is normal to leave your yappy dogs out all night non stop yapping here. Stupid owners is one thing but the relentless non stop yapping from these dogs is unbelievable. What absolute dumbasses they are. Any other dog would tire of it and get some kip or just do anything but yap. Ah well. Pretty much second night ever sleeping here. Chilly, so windows closed but damn can still hear them. This ain't right. Nice people just entirely fu----g stupid. And their dogs, even stupider. We get cars drive past and it sends them even more feral. It's a car you f----- gimp! It's not a new noise you've heard that noise hundreds of times today why go so crazy at it's passing! Theyve probably never been challenged over it but damn, some people. It's the Yorkshire Terriers more than the Jack Russell but non stop ruff ruff ruff, Jesus Christ. I officially, one hundred per cent cite Yorkies as my sworn enemies from this point forward. I dunno on a league table of dog intelligence they are, but if I was to hazard a guess I'd bet they'd be right down in the relegation zone. Absolutely as thick as pig shit they are. We have species of tigers and elephants or whatever facing extinction but these scumbags nooooooo they're rife, people, we need to halt this gene pool immediately. Please! Edit, I won't keep adding diary updates to this nonsense just wanted to therapeutically rant about these gits. And quite definitely discourage VT'ers from ever picking this breed! Good day! Oh man this takes me back. I completely sympathise with your situation. I said you'd go angry mental and I wasn't exaggerating. You'll lose your f**king reason. It seems you're getting there much quicker than I did You better hope now that nothing untoward happens to the dogs in the meantime, because you're suspect number 1. If I was an evil genius of a rival neighbour, now is the time I'd pounce, while their spotlight is pointed at you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) @midfielder... Yup I know your pain. Our neighbours are pretty decent but their dog is a word removed. Staffie cross, thicker than shit mixed with cornflour. Barks when you open your back door, chases you down the other side of the fence when you do recycling, barks at you when you unlock the shed or come in the back gate. A word removed. It howls when they are out, not just for a while but hours on end. Anyway they found out about this and a neighbour now comes in at 2pm daily to let the word removed out, where he barks at people walking behind the 6 foot fence. A few weeks ago they chucked out some old dirty dog bedding. Bin men left it BTW, but we were really hoping word removed dog was dead. It wasn't. One day though...

Midfielder Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) @BOF @rjw63 yeah it's messed up. Not back there til Thursday. BOF is right though, almost creates like a temporary mental illness, like paradoxically wanting to never hear it yet being borderline obsessed with it at the same time, by that I mean the hearing it. Ah well. But RJW says there about neighbour's dogs, I sympathise for you there bud , it's amazing these yappy dogs act like that , you try and find an explanation or reason for it, like maybe they're territorial, but then, you walk past , you have a scent it recognises, you've never been a threat.... Yet it follows you and yaps as it does, same old same old every time. Like the Yorkies I mentioned, going nuts every time a car goes past. I think the humble goldfish gets a bad rap, some dogs are a hundred times more retarded and as we said, thick as pig shit. We shall see. Like a victims support group this ! But yeah it totally facks with your mind though. Next mind fk later in the week! if all else fails , maybe it'll come to like a Strangers on a Train type thing. A bit of revenge swap never hurt anyone, much. Edited April 10, 2017 by Midfielder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of revenge swap never hurt anyone, much. One evening about 3 years ago we got back from my parents house, it was a sunny Sunday. As we got through the gate I went to look at a plant that was rather droopy...the word removed dog launched itself at the fence like an exocet and I almost shit myself. The red mist descended, I grabbed the nearest implement (which was a rake) and proceeded to hang my arm over the fence and try to clobber word removed dog. Mr and mrs neighbour were apparently not amused and we had a blazing row. My missus made me go round and apologise next day. I didn't want to, I was so angry. I was almost in tears of agony as I mumbled my apology. The guy was OK, we shook hands...and the next weekend he put up another 6 foot fence to help stop word removed dog causing anymore damage. So that ended OK, but boy was I mad. But it still lives...I await canine alzheimers and death with much anticipation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ps 'launched itself at the fence like an exocet' ... one of the most vivid analogies I've ever heard and I totally get. Maybe, when they let it out for its last run / yap outside , why not have some seriously dog-laxative laden treats laid out just over your fence so it finds them, eats them, then by morning it's shat absolutely everywhere. Few nights / weeks of that 'naughtiness' might see him packed up to Blue Cross. See it as a good thing, a little psych ops plan never hurt anyone. Plausible denial to wife / neighbours too. RJW did you poison / lax the dog. No, you didn't, at worst you helped it with its regularity and gave it a flush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Ok so we took the plunge and have just reserved a pup- male chocolate cocker. Im very excited about it as is my son and wife. Looked at labradors and beagles but the cocker won through. Mum is gorgeous and very placid. Let's hope son is the same! Cant wait 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that. No pics yet - only a week old went to see them yesterday and the family had a springer too! Both were gorgeous dogs. Was a little unsure about cockers as I'd heard they could be a little crazy but the mum was so placid and laid back. Got to see the pups feeding with her which was pretty cool too. this dog lark is all new to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 As some of you maybe aware, my mother in law lost her fella two xmas's back. She found him dead in bed on Boxing Day morning. She's still in a bad way over it, but she got a dog from a rescue centre to give her a bit of company and not make the house so empty. She came home from work this morning to find him dead. She was already suffering depression and at times wishing she was dead. She's obviously in bits and it's another kick whilst she's down. I'm going up to bury him in a moment.

Started throwing up last night and was very quiet and not moving much this morning. He was dead by the time she got back at 11. Stomach ulcers have burst and that's what killed him. He was 6 I think.
