My boys...

I thought it was about time I 'introduced' you to the new additions to our family since I drifted away from the forum!

Archie (on the left) came to us about 18 months ago; he had been a drugs sniffer dog, but failed for being too friendly . His owner couldn't keep him if he wasn't going to earn his keep, so he was rehomed, then fostered, then rehomed (twice) before coming to us. He is a lovely boy, very independent, but also very well behaved, and we have taken him away with us in our caravan (another new addition!) lots of times and he absolutely loves it!

Taffi (on the right) is almost the same age, just 3, and was a pet from when he was a puppy. He lived very happily with his owner until she was taken ill in the autumn, and sadly had to make the decision to give him up as she couldn't look after him any more. He came to us as a foster dog, and unfortunately his 'mum' died within a few days. It was pretty much love at first sight, and on Christmas Morning I found a name tag with our address on it in my stocking from DH, so I knew that I had been 'allowed' to keep him: Taffi is very affectionate, a lap dog given half a chance, but also a little tinker with it! He chewed DD2's crocs this morning, so we will be off to buy her some new ones very soon! I wouldn't change him for the world though.

So, when I mention taking 'my boys' out' you know who on earth I'm talking about now! (and why on rainy days I get stressed, 'cos they are a couple of muck-magnets!!!!

Oh they are absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! Oh those eyes!

Thank you for showing us, and I hope you are going to do some layouts of them too (when you finish showing people roudn your house!). These look like a couple of real characters and make me just long for a dog again.

i wont be showing DH, he wants a springer spaniel! (I have my heart set on either a goldie or another bernese)

Erm, I hate to admit it, but I think I **may** just have scrapped Archie more often than my children over recent months

How cute!
My neighbour has one same colouring as Taffi. He is a naughty but lovable rogue!

Myoungest sis has just got a springer puppy mollie she has called her and she is sooo cute but very cheeky , they are great dogs , but not for me thanks , too lively and need too many walks . dawn has one called brie .

they are lovely pictures and like maria says ,,,,those eyes !!!! adorable

what a lovely romantic way of telling you that you can keep her ,,,very classy hubby

Will NOT be showing this to DH as he's come and steal them, they look gorgeous, we used to sit one of these and they do love the water don't they, clean or dirty.

Gorgeous, gorgeous. Awwwww, love 'em, Tina.
They are super dogs the spaniels.

I was talking to my neighbour just now and told her about your two, she said you must be barmy or brave having two of them lol! Hers is called Rooster (hubby is John Wayne fan)

They are lovely dogs. Now you will loose weight just walking them each day.

Oh I just love these two. They look so kind and friendly. I want one!

Oh Tina they are both georgeous.
As kim said we have a springer called Brie who is getting old now he's nearly 13 but still wants to go out on long walks no matter what the weather is like. Brie looks more like Taffi

I'll RAK you one if you like; Taffi rolled in a load of manure this afternoon . Can you Febreze a dog?

Dawn, I think we need a piccy!

This is Brie he used to live on a farm but the owners thought he ought to be a pet instead of a working dog so we bought him. we were worried he might not settle but he soon got used to lying next to the radiator and hes been with us now for nearly 12 years

Oh he's gorgeous!!!!

After looking through my photos I seem to have a lot of the dog almost as many as the kids

They are great pets if they wouldn't make so much mess!!!

Aw your dogs are gorgeous!

Aw, i do love dogs, i had a friend who had a brown one just like yours..called Bisto..cos it browned seasoned and thickened all in one...all over her carpet...it was as nutty as a fruitcake and so skitty.

i love your boys. and yours Dawn

Oh he is lovely too - i just love his eyes.

Tina - what a gorgeous looking pair of boys. So lovely.
And what a lovely photo of yours Dawn.
WSish I could have pets again but out of the question, but these sort of
photos make me a little doggy broody.

and me (doggy broody is the only sort of broody i do)

What super dogs, the look really friendly.

All three look absolutely fabulous. Having an ex sniffer dog could prove interesting though. Does he still look for signs?

Oh yes, and there are certain places that make him go doolally when he sniffs around!

I've got a German Shepherd going free today!!!!!!
