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

Yeah, he struggles as soon as temp drops below about 13 degrees. The main reason we had that on him was in the hope it would help us keep ticks off him. There is an outbreak in that area. Still had to remove a few from him though!

My brother dogsits a whippet sometimes and he is just the best little dude.

There was a whippet at the place we stayed at over the weekend and she was gorgeous - very full on but beautiful and great with our daughter. Our wee lad spent the weekend with his mum and half sister and had a whale of a time. Not sure he really wanted to come home!

What is obvious to us now is we picked the biggest of the litter - 4 months old and already bigger than mum.

He normally prefers to sit in the back.

Eldest son and partner have a bedlington whippet cross (think the bedlington part was mostly sidelined out though): it is hilarious, super obedient and very good natured. It is huge for a whippet mind.

Yeah, starting to think our 'toy' poodle is really just a poodle.

‘toy’ poodle

It’s not just a plaything?

At least our ‘miniature’ dachshund, having challenged that definition somewhat now, wasn’t really ever going to get out of hand, size wise.

Does anybody have a use for these two collars?

Both neoprene and nylon webbing. One Ezydog Classic and a 3 peaks equivalent.

Size S, size guide says good for 34cm to 38cm neck.

Not sure my daughter really gets this yet - she's getting there but slowly. Pup is taking it very well tbh. For a supposedly 'nervous' breed he is showing great stoicism.

Anybody want to take a dog bike trailer off my hands, in Bristol? It's unused apart from testing it out, as my whippet couldn't be persuaded to get inside it.

It's one of these:

awwwww amazing

My fiance and I adopted this little guy yesterday from a volunteer led foster-only rescue. They think he's a beagle/daschund. He's four months old and is a very good boy. We're yet to leave him alone and don't intend to for at least a week. He's a little anxious and has terrible crate anxiety. Fortunately we don't intend to ever close the door on his crate, but we have it in case he feels like going in there (which he has on his own accord several times).

Doggy day care in NY is so expensive at $45 a day, though, so hopefully it's not something we will need to do forever. Fortunately I work from home one day a week so it's only Monday to Thursday.

So cute

Dropped him off at doggy day care this morning and they have a webcam to watch. He is getting on great with the other pups. He's really opening up already. He just doesn't like being totally alone.

Perfect office dog. As long as he gets a sprint around in the park in the morning, naps in his bed all day <3

Well, until about 3pm when he starts begging for his next walk.

Walking my dog at this time of year is so tiresome. Every blackberry, plum, apple and any other fruit you can think of has to be consumed. Soon it will be acorns and chestnuts. He is an arse.

Mine ran off to the wheely bin dumped in the middle of the forest nearby, stupid prick.

My little dog always looks at this one bin on one of our walks. I put a tennis ball that he had stripped and ripped open in there 5 years ago. He wants me to return it to him.

Bring a tennis ball out of your pocket and pretend you're taking it out of the bin. See if he thinks you've given it back and stops looking at the bin.

He even does it if he has a ball in his mouth. It clearly meant much more to him than I thought.

Our pup is looking at us as if we are complete bastards today. Just back from two weeks holiday where he had the run of a Northumbrian beach and then of a sizeable slice of the the Lake District. Don't think he is too impressed with our maisonette and small fox infested garden. Yakked up over night just to make his displeasure known. Can't blame him tbh.

@Constable_Savage ... Better than non-food items, as well. Especially in disgusting, filthy, bin juice, rat infested Manhattan. Anything he finds on the floor, be it food or not... in his mouth. Or it'll be something that's leaked on the floor that he is licking. He's half beagle/half dachshund. It's hard to get his nose off the ground when walking and he can smell stuff from so far away, makes it very challenging to walk him sometimes. Literally the sniffiest dog I've ever known. But then, New York is also the stinkiest place I've ever lived in my life.

Cute tho.
