Hello all you nice ladies, This is Feia the bulldog and I thank you all so very much for giving my blonde human Mom help when she thought I was having a heart attack. I must stay a special thank you to Aunty Sue and Aunty June because now I have a new treat "lemon jiffy's" It is so tasty that I can't get enough of it. Feia;-)

Janet from Northamptonshire Oh, now we know who the "nudgers" are. They are from the animal world, or more specific "pussy cat" world. Sylvia

My two "Red Healers" or if you like, Australian Cattle dogs, Danny and Cloe would like to say G'day to all the other dogs out there. They are from the same litter, both aged 12 years now. Red Healers, as apart from "Blue Healers" get terrible Arthritis in the hind legs. ( common ). The name "Healer" comes from the dogs herding Sheep or Cattle, and nipping at the heals of cattle,to get them to move on. ( Hence Healer.) Tony.Oz

Hello I'm Bramble and Mags is my Granny! I am very lucky to be here because some horrible people left me in a blackberry bush and ran away. I don't remember those nasty people any more but I do remember flirting with that nice policeman when he came to see me in the kennels and my cunnng plan worked! He took me home!!! I thought they were going to call me 'FOR GOODNESS SAKE DAWG!' at first because I was very naughty. They were very kind and I love their little two legged puppy like she was my own and guard her while she sleeps. When I was little I wouldn't go out for a walk unless their puppy came too! They had the nerve to forget me one day when they went to the park. I LOVE the park. I was sure it was a mistake and I could see them walking down the road from the bedroom upstairs. I didn't want them to feel embrarrassed about forgetting me so I thought I would catch them up! I can't understand why they were cross about me jumping from the bedroom window! I think Granny may be coming for a visit this afternoon so I had better go and tidy my basket! Bramble

Hi, my name is Monty, I am 12 yrs old but still fit and full of bounce, my Dad (I think) was a pointer and Mum was a lab, I look like Dad but take after Mum in size. Dad left Mum when she told him she was pregnant and a Rescue Centre found her with my six brothers and sisters living on the streets when we were four weeks old. My humans came to the Rescue Centre when I was 6 weeks old and they didn't have a chance. I have been naughty ever since and even now if I don't get my own way, I do something naughty to annoy them. As I can open doors even if they swing inwards I just hold down the handle and walk backwards and I am IN! I get shouted at if I chase the birds in the garden and those squirrels - well I have made a skid path from the top of the lawn to the bottom. I hate CATS - I check under all cars when I go for a walk - only pleasure there is in walking and with a bit of luck if my human is not thinking he can nearly fly through the air when I see a cat! Great fun though he does say a naughty word. I have had a good morning so far, my human mother was still asleep when the window cleaners arrived at 8.00 a.m. but not for long (I don't like them and tell them so very loudly until they leave). Then I was so happy I got my new squeaky toy which Father Christmas brought me and I squeaked that non-stop for about 10 minutes until my human yelled at me that she was going to shoot Father Christmas. I told my other human I fancied a walk this morning (have gone off walks lately - they are boring) but after 5 minutes I decided I was better off at home so we are back and I am going to snuggle up in my nice comfy bed for an hour or two - might play with my new toy when I wake up! Monty

We have Nelly, a five year old pedigree black lab. Crazy as hell. We brought her back from Belgium with us. She's sitting here and says Hi.

Hi, My name`s Kasha, I`m a lurcher ( thief ), I`m 8 months old,grey and white in colour, and I love standing on the arm of the sofa with my head on my dads shoulder,and watching his monitor, I think it`s great. My dads name is Baz.

More talk about dogs. My dogs Chloe 13yrs yellow lab & Anna 10yrs tricolour Cav. thought you might like this: If you can start the day without caffeine or pep pills, If you can be cheerful ignoring aches and pains, If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles, If you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it, If you can understand when loved ones are too busy to give you time, If you can overlook when people take things out on you when through no fault of yours,something goes wrong If you can take criticism and blame without resentment, If you can face the world without lies and deceit If you can conquer tension without medical help, If you can relax without liquor, If you can sleep without the aid of drugs, THEN YOU ARE PROBABLY THE FAMILY DOG. Regards to all dog lovers, Judy

Just a nudge to remind us of all the good guys out there,both two and four legged Regardsj Judy

Hi Judy. Love the poem. Raggy Bearx

Hello I'm Snuggles, a black lab and I'm staying with my Aunty Naomi and Uncle Simon for two weeks whilst my family are on their holidays. I love staying with them as they take me to the P-A-R-K (they think if they spell it I wont understand what they mean! Durr) Last year though they were naughty and I got hold of a packet of tablets that made me very poorly but I've forgiven them and still enjoy it here. My Mummy says I'm going to the health farm when I come here as I get more trips out and loads of kisses, cuddles and games. I think it's fun to wake them up at 6am for a trip into the garden and Uncle Simon doesn't like licking so I have to give him a sneaky side swipe when I get the chance! Aunty Naomi is going to have her own litter soon too. I can't wait as I love playing with my two human children at home so some more are always welcome. They also drop lots of food on the floor so I'm available to hoover up but skittles make my tummy go funny. I'm off for a lay down now as I've been bouncing about all morning and I want to go to the park later on. Snuggles xxxxx
