Guest snatch flcc Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Just thought I would write a post cos I realised something this week, I dont want to get to personal so i'l save you all tears and keep it brief, the last few months have been really difficult with work and relationships etc and somedays iv been so stressed from the pressures of life iv wondered if I can cope! I have not been out with the dogs properly this season and stresses have been building up and up plus I have just finished with my partner after 3 years. Whilst feeling really down and depressed I was sat in doors watching the rain outside thinking do i really want to go out and walk the the dogs in this weather? Anyway eventually I mustered up the energy to go out, I went to the kennel and was greeted by wagging tales and barks of joy then when I let them out I was jumped on and kissed and licked by some bad breathed lurchers! lol I put them on there leads and started to walk down the road with the rain coming down on my face it reminded of going out coursing which was only 6 months ago but seems years ago! Whilst walking all the dogs were happy to be out and seemed to constantly checking me to see if I was ok, I was out for about an hour and a half, once back all the dogs were still wagging there tales and happy to be with me each one pushing there nose into me for a stroke or a pat. At that point I realised that no matter what goes on in your personal or work life your dogs are always there for you unconditionally, they dont care about anything as long as they are with you and having a good walk! I know i have not made enough time for my dogs this season because of all the stress but I assure them all now that I will be out working them at least 2 times a week and walking them every day whatever the weather! moral of the story is always appreciate your dogs cos they will be there for you with a wagging tale, friendly bark and bad breathed lick no matter what!

Guest Lurcherbitch Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 What a lovely honest post, nearly brought me to tears. Glad you are getting back on your feet & have to agree, there's no friend on earth like your four legged friend :friends: . There is no faith which has never yet been broken, except that of a truly faithfull dog. xx Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mistwalker 0 Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Absolutely mate. They never judge you, never question you and don't mind if you come home at 3am stinking of cheap perfume :11: When my first wife gave me the choice between her and my only lurcher, I was reminded of the words of a wise old man - "Son, you can always find another woman... it's just a wee bit harder finding a good dog" Along came wife no. 2 - now got 3 lurchers. Things do get better mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

maty j 6 Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you. 2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name. 3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor. 4. A dog's parents never visit. 5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across. 6. Dogs like to do their snooping outside rather than in your wallet or desk. 7. You never have to wait for a dog; they're ready to go 24 hours a day. 8. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk. 9. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing. 10. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, "If I died, would you get another dog?" 11. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away. 12. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert. 13. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting. 14. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck. and, last but not least: 15. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
