My PDA says the page is too big and won't load all the pictures. I will have to wait to see it when I get home.

But, I do want to know...did you get any burgers?

Burgers? Eeew...no thankyou, we avoid processed meat here in england, well some of us do anway

.

Thought you'd like this. A customers brown labrador recently had ten puppies(!) and they all survived

. Being aware of my loss I've been offered one but I think we're not ready as yet. Still, be nice to keep an eye on their development.

Nice of the people to let me in and take a pic.

labs are cool dogs, althought the first year is trying. Our black lab just turned 1, my carpet looks like it just turned 50. my trim on the stairwells is chewed. We buy her chew toys and she just shreds them.. I am trying to teach her to stay in the yard, but if she sees a bird or cat, rabbit whatever, it's like crack. she just forgets about everything and she is gone. She pulled a bird out of the air one afternoon. she has like a 4 or 5 foot vertical leap, its frigging amazing..

AWESOME pups Ogg!

Soup...Bro...you gotta Ged that dog to the water!

IMHO, he's not getting enough excercise...

I had a Yellow Lab, and the dog was almost human.

He had a blast in the water....I'd throw large rocks, waterlogged
sticks etc....he'd dive and fetch 'em.

You gotta spend LOTS of time with him for training
(it's not too late!), and sooner or later he'll figure out who
the boss is. Right now, he thinks HE'S the boss.

He'll understand everything you tell him. Carry lots of treats
to reward him when he's good. He'll come around.

Hey Soup, Id ove the opportunity to berate my dog for disobedience, sigh. Appreciate it dude and get the command/reward thing in check eh?

My Frodo really was as daft as a brush most of the time

. I've actually seen him run straight into a telegraph pole because his attention was focused on chasing a bird IN FLIGHT, duh. We used to pass a wee house on a corner and Frodo would lunge into the front garden barking like a barking thing. It took me some time to realise he was sounding off to another dog...that was simply himself in the reflection of a glass door

.
I once asked the owner if I could lead him up her path towards the door, we did but it never helped...'turn the corner, almost lose arm from socket'

I'd give anything to go back to that...and he'd still piss me off

.

Had this on my phone for a while. A rough idea of the amount of mail I deliver every damn day.

There is another tray and assorted packets on the front seat. Who'd be an english postie?!

Fortunately they pay you to do it.

I can honestly say, if I didn't get a paycheck from these guys every two weeks, I don't think I'd even bother to come in to work.

The pups are awesome! If I had one I'd teach it just as Cesar Millan, The Dog Whisperer instructs. I've seen him time and again take a miserable lump of k-9 and transform it into a productive, loving member of the family. He rehabilitates dogs and trains people.

What in the world is going on behind that little white dog with the black eye?

Hey, nice sentiment Spuddy! Thanks mate!

Some mad old woman, driving far too fast, hit the rear end of my red royal mail van that I'd vacated only moments before. I've been using this hire-van for three weeks but it does have a cd player

Reluctant to post doggie pics here anymore, in respect of my dear departed Frodo. Anyway...I was attacked, well, more like chased by a maddened goose recently
