Murphy doesn't seem to feel the cold he still wants to swim even when its impossible i had to keep him on lead near the water last weekend so he decided to roll over and over in a puddle that was iced over, at the moment the snow in the garden comes up to his knees and he won't come in He is half Collie does that mean anything

What lovely photos and Beau is absolutly Beau-tiful

Just read this So so very sorry

What lovely pics of beautiful Collies my favourite of all dogs .They are stunners all of them My Murphy is half Collie and has a lot of the Collie traits

Love it

Murphy now And on the first day we got him

This was Murphy yesterday Avoiding this

I cann't believe that it is 4 years since we got our Murphy it has gone so very fast If it wasn't for Rochdale who found him on that cold cold doorstep when he was only about 10 weeks old then Warrington and of course his wonderful Foster Mum who had him over the Christmas of 2005 then we got him on 7th January 2006 So thanks to all who helped him after he was dumped so cruelly He nom rules the roost here of course To-night he will have a very special dinner to celebrate

Great photo

What gorgeous photos I wish i could get some of Murphy in the snow as he loves it but when he sees the camera he runs he hates it for some reason so we have to try to catch him unawares

What a disgrace Murphy wouldn't stand for that OH the humiliation

Thanks every one hopefully when the time comes Lulu will be fine Kay

What lovely photos I haven't been there for years must give it a go one weekend as we are not to far away

Many thanks for your replies i will certainly pass this on to my friend for when the sad time comes that little Lulu needs a new loving home .At the moment she is fine but my friend can see the differance in her Aunts behavior almost every week Thanks again for the help Kay

This may be a bit long winded but please bear with me My friends Auntie has dementia and at the moment is not too bad she has my friend to help when she can and has carers through the day The problem will be ,in the future her little Yorkie Lulu,she is tiny, my friend has got to think of the time to come when her Auntie can not look after her !! as she has Paddy the Goldie now he is really good with other dogs Lulu included but the big but is Lulu who goes for him all the time i don't think she is used to other dogs as she doesn't go out much ,she does have the garden , i think some friends take her out occasionally but she isn't used to meeting other dogs What i was wondering is there anybody who could rehome her ,when the time comes ,to another elderly person who maybe wants adog ,but not a puppy , we are not sure how old she is but have worked out she is most likely about 5 or 6 as she belonged to some else befor and my friends Auntie has had her for about 4 years .She is cute and very very tiny This at the moment is just trying to make it a bit easier when the time comes for Auntie to need more care and Lulu not being able to go with her It is a sad thing to think but Auntie is deteriating as the months go on and my friend has to worry about her and little Lulu Can anyone advise me what to tell her Thanks Kay

Thought so !!!!!! it is you isn't it Were you on the UK camping chat page I'm sure it is We have been going camping for quite a few years and Murphy loves it

Lovely pics I agree that dogs can see in colour Murphy has 4 small squishy balls and he knows one from the other if you try to swap them to fool him he knows and wont have it Also the first time i swopped his beige coloured blanket on his bed to a black one he just stopped dead and barked at it

We are off camping this weekend Murphy has alresdy packed his stuff so fingers crossed it stays nice What is everyone else up to??

She is so cute what lovely photos Murphy lies like a squashed frog as well

I honestly cann't put it into words the feeling at seeing the animals in the wild like that,its the 2nd time we have been to Kenya but this time was the best .When you see a Cheetah kill an Antelope right in front of you the speed the grace it was so emotional and i thought i would be squeemish over a kill but it was so quick and silent and she most likely had young that needed to eat that you just thought what a beautiful animal she was and had to survive!!! Also the Leapard had a small kill but we saw that after it had killed It was the Elephants for me there were so many young and one group had a tiny tiny one and the Rangers were by to make sure that they didn't attack as it was only a few hours old and the herd were protecting it What a great holiday it is something that will be with me forever We saw almost every thing apart from Rhino

mr lion watching over his pride A lonely Hyena in the dust from the Zebras And a Giraffe Iwill stop boring you now

And yes we were this close there was another Lion in the pipe more Elephants The view from our lodge window when out on Safari We must have took over 300 photos there are some i haven't uploaded yet of Hyenas Giraffes Ostrich Gnus Hippos etc Oh and a Leopard

We got back from Kenya last Tuesday morning and i thought if anyone likes Elephants here is a photo of some with Mount Kilamanjaro in the background And one of a Cheetah with a kill right in front of us What a beautiful animal and the Elephants were wonderful in fact we saw so very much i didn't want to come home except to get Murphy back

So very sorry for your loss Run free at The Bridge Chance forever young

R I P beautiful Bearhave fun at The Bridge forever young
