My year in doggies (lots of photos)

[Annette4]

So this has been an up and down kind of year.

We started 2014 with a lovely walk in the peaks

We had ice creams on Monsal Trail

But that's where it all went wrong, Tia starting showing some physical difficulties and then attacked Jack without warning while he was asleep so we made the difficult decision to have her pts as the vet suspected a brain tumour.

Jack got lots of alone time and a special 10th birthday walk

We then decided to foster for a while before we got another dog. We started with Kizzy who came to Brighton on a short holiday and enjoyed Chatsworth horse trials before being adopted by a lovely family.

Following Kizzy we were asked if we could 'puppy walk' a whippet puppy for 4 weeks.

We also fostered a lovely lurcher, Sally, who despite one failed attempt found a lovely home

We also had Dax the whippet for a short while, however, due to our rather inconsiderate neighbours, he had to find a new foster home who could help with his separation anxiety.

The afore mentioned whippet puppy became a permanent addition....and has been causing chaos ever since. She is in the middle of her first season and feeling very sorry for herself.

Mostly, we have been meeting lots of new skinny dog friends and having lots of fun. Jack is still as grumpy but full as going as ever

Christmas was spent in the peaks again

And besides Fizz seeing snow for the first time we haven't done much else

Fantastic pics with two lovely dogs...we've not had snow yet so I've enjoyed yours.my first dog was a corgi so I love Jack,long may he continue!

He was my first dog, well that wasn't a family dog. He'll be 11 in March and will be a part of our wedding

Corgis are smashing dogs! We rescued ours from an old lady who had kept him in her outside loo and could only afford to feed him bread. he was just a yr old,was a bright yellow colour..when we started feeding him correctly,adding meat to his diet he turned to a deep mahogany red...she gave us his pedigree and it turned out he was from well titled lines.
I also love yr whippet but will never be able to have one as I ve just committed to a new pup.

That pup has grown! Do Fizz and Jack get along well?

They do oddly, Fizz leaves him be in the house as they both spend all their time indoors asleep and he joins in silly games when he feels like it on walks.

If she was hyperactive in the house I think it would be a different story but they're both lazy sods!
