I want to get a dog but I have to work, how does everyone on broadway market do it ?

@andy.w this is also good advice

@andy.w I can confirm that James's advice that @umop3pisdn 's advice is good advice, is good advice.

You fail at lfgss. No one should ever take my advice.

Says you.

Now that's a dog.

thats an ewok

Following. We’re @hellohazeldog if anyone fancies following a mini Schnauzer.

I can confirm that hazel is well worth following

Hazel's gorgeous.

We Moved, It was OK.
I think she's settled in well.

This is horrible and depressing - in case it's not obvious already, don't get a flat-faced dog unless you're rescuing:

Humans are dicks

Here is Gary (aka Gaza). After a trial week, we have officially adopted this young brindle greyhound from WGW. He has settled in really well and learned tricky stuff like stairs or toilet training pretty quickly. Everyone at WGW has been extremely supportive. Please go visit them and walk a dog. All of them enjoy a bit of company and benefit extremely from human contact prior to their adoption.

Excellent decision.

Best dog ever, I am biased, but he is just like a 33kg cuddly cat :)

Best dog ever

They all are. Can/have you let him off the lead?

Not yet, we need to train recall and find a really safe spot (most doggy parks SW are a bit crappy and have really precarious or low fences) before we let him run at top speed. Alternatively, we may try to find a sand beach before winter is over. But for now he seems happy with fast-paced lead walks

Oh the joys of dog ownership. Grass eating. I've just pulled a length of string-like grass out of a dog shaped party popper. Thankfully he didn't go bang.

My dad had to do that with our retriever many years ago. But instead of grass, it was an entire carrier bag.

@frankohara your dog is gorgeous. I’d recommend seeing a behaviourist with any rescue dog, even if all looks good on the surface. Our boy (Staffy x JRT) seemed fine when he came but we’re now unpicking some issues we could have nipped in the bud at the start.

Our dog's problem is when he takes a dump and it dangles from his arse from a strand of my wife's hair. Well, its our problem really.

The first time it happened was when I took him out for his morning pit stop and I didn't notice what had happened and allowed him to jump onto the bed where my wife was still sleeping.

After a few minutes the question was asked "can you smell shit?" at which point I turned on the light to see the full scale of the horror that had unfolded on our white duvet cover.

Dogs are bloody great aren't they and to this day I've never intentionally allowed a dog to lick my face. Then of course there's cat-poo paws which are fun too.
