      Gorgeous dog mate.

      I've got a German Shepherd (Barney) who is quickly approaching his 4th birthday...

      He's a nightmare at times, but also a huge softy. He loves a good bark from time to time in the garden but it's made worse by the fact that surrounding our garden are other houses who all have dogs :D

      What he looked like the night we got him...



      What he looks like today...

      He really has. He had an operation to remove a piece of chipped bone in his shoulder a couple of years ago so he still has moments where he's not fully comfortable relying on his front left leg for balance so bends down. What breed are the girls?

      I wanted a German before we got my Blue Heeler for my birthday. They said it would too high maintenance but in the end we got probably the biggest lunatic in the canine world :D (Wouldn't trade him for the world now, though).

      I love German's so much. Amazing dogs.

      a white German Shepherd and a Black one both rescue Dogs both on death row for biting but never had an issue with them and the old girl has been with us now for 9 years ..no such thing as bad dogs just bad owners

      My Oscar has taken a turn for the worse since Friday.  Not sure how much longer he'll be with us.

      He's been slowly deteriating since January, his sight, hearing, his legs but until Friday was still able to have a decent walk and get upstairs.  He's stopped eating, even his favourite treats, and can barely stand up now never mind walk.

      He turned 14 last week so he's had a good, long life but no matter how much you prepare yourself it's upsetting knowing he'll be leaving us soon.

      There's a pic of him in here somewhere, I'll post it up again when I find it.  Such a beautiful lad, so intelligent and funny and a smile that lights up his face.

      its a terrible time and its so hard to know what to do but generally we seem to know instinctively what is best for our friend and family member. Hope he perks up.

      sh*t news that Debs; I'm truly sorry. I've never been a pet person and never had much emotional attachment to an animal but the pup that has been brought into the home, just this week, is starting to change that. I feel your pain.

      Thanks guys.  I'm totally lost without him, Paul's just left for work and the house is so dead and empty.

      I'd normally be telling him what our plans for the day are, how we'll fit his evening walk around tonights u23s match and that maybe we'll wait up and go to meet Paul coming out of work at 12.30.  I've already twice gone to call him for tidbits whilst cooking lunch and had to check myself.

      Even though I've known for a few weeks that he's been slowing down and his age was showing, seeing how quickly he deteriorated this weekend was so sad.  He was sad, very sad, not interested in a walk or even going out when just last week he was still excited to go and was still managing a good 3 to 4 miles a day.

      RiP lad, hope you're having fun somewhere, nose to the ground and marking out your new territory.

      Bobby we got as a very poorly pup rescued from a Puppy farm. It took me 8 months before I could think of having another Dog after losing my Bullmastiff.
