Haha I knew there was a reason why I refused to ever watch that film again. Absolute tear jerker, but so right.Yes! I read a quote a while ago that said that we have a life separate from our dogs, they don’t have that, we are there whole life, they don’t have anything but us. I only got my first dog 3 years ago and I will admit that before I got him I didn’t get it, I really didn’t, thought dog people were weird. Now I have my own I fully admit I was wrong.
Also this quote from Marley & Me gets me every time. I well up.
“A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water logged stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary?”
Beagles are the best!My Beagle has full run of the house, spoilt rottenView attachment 154573
She's beautiful!Before we got our dog I was adamant that she would not be allowed upstairs, not on sofas or beds etc. 11 months in and she is allowed everywhere, sleeps on our bed and is spoilt rottenShe is a Vizsla so hardly sheds and is always very clean. I hate that 'wet dog' smell....urgh...but she is short haired and really doesn't smell bad at all (she is bathed weekly just in plain warm water, and I bought this lush dog spray that makes her smell
)
I am surprised at how attached I have become to her tbh. I have always been a cat person really, and the dog purchase was very much driven by my husband and kids. Ironically she is 100% my baby now and I never anticipated the love I would feel for her. I can't imagine our life without her now, and couldn't give a shiny tit if someone judges me for allowing her on our bed

I looked into another boxer 11 years ago she cost me £750 I’d be looking at over £2000 now. Crazy.Didn't know where else to post this ( and keeping on topic, yes my boys sleep on my bed!)
The price of pups have rocked during covid, I didn't believe it until I had a look, I bought my last boy ( border collie) 2 years ago for £200, now you can't one for less than £1000, and am sorry will upset some folk, but a mix breed fetching thousands, they used to be called Heinz 67 or mongrels in my younger days, think there's going to be alot of rehoming later this year when folks go back to work and leave a young dog at home![]()
What’s beautiful dog. I had a boxer and she never once smelt. I guess it the very short hair. Defo makes it easier when they get their own way woth everythingBefore we got our dog I was adamant that she would not be allowed upstairs, not on sofas or beds etc. 11 months in and she is allowed everywhere, sleeps on our bed and is spoilt rottenShe is a Vizsla so hardly sheds and is always very clean.

Where do I start! Is your other dog ok with other dogs?We get our new puppy next Sunday. Any tips for introducing him to an existing dog in the home, especially in regards to sleeping??
