For the past 6 years, a German shepherd called Capitán has slept next to the grave of his owner every night at 6pm.
His owner, Miguel Guzmán died in 2006. Capitán, the dog, disappeared while the family attended the fueral services. A week later reatives of Guzmán were visiting the cemetery when they were astounded to find the dog next to the owner's grave.
The cemetery director says that the dog comes around each night at 6pm, and has done so for the past 6 years!

I thought that when I was linked. Is it a fake story?

Anyone ever see Greyfriars bobby?

There is a memorial to him in Edinburgh, lovely film too based on his story.

Here's a link

Phoes breath is stinking at the moment. Every time I try to check his teeth he clamps his mouth shut. :mad:

We have the same bed 2 years now - a dspca one I got half price for €25 on Bailey's 1st birthday!

Oh almost bit my tongue off earlier!! Walking along and somebody was approaching with a doberman - it was interested in other dogs and she didn't have much control with it being on a halti.. Starting pulling towards Bailey and the lady apologised, told her it was grand and kept walking (knew Bailey wouldn't want to talk to it as it had a head collar on and he's not a fan of dogs wearing them).. Anyhoos we had already passed and the dog starting barking/crying a bit - she smacked it so hard people down the road looked and was ROARING at it. FFS! :mad::mad::mad:

I think the Dublin Pug Club meets the third Sunday of every month...meaning this Sunday YAY

She doesnt know what to be doing with him lol Hes a big dote, not many dogs tolerate her hyperness but he does.

My reaction to that picture :eek::o:o

Brings back memories of my last dog

Benson has taken to occasionally doing his poo in the sea when we're walking on the beach. It's a bit like that scene from Marley and me, dogs are busy splashing around then next thing he's doing donuts and squatting down to business, never just on the shore but at least 10 foot in:mad:. I'm not exactly dressed for wading so embarrassingly I have to leave it in the sea.

Today I was walking on the beach, and I'm walking along carrying two poo bags, both from Coco:p when Benson starts his rotations. Of course this happens in front of a few people, another couple who were dog walking and also a family with a couple of kids who were staring and frowning. The other dog walkers understood but the family looked at me like I was the worst person in the world, not that I didn't feel embarrassed enough already.

Almost as bad as the time I took him on a training course and he did his poo in a plant pot of geraniums.

We have guys in drilling, shes afraid of her life and its affected her behaviour

millies first Halloween this year. God help us. She's a barker normally (which I like. Makes for a great guard dog...). But she is going crazy with all the fireworks. Anyone have any tips?

Adaptil (aka DAP) / Kalmaid / Thundershirt. I've had success with all of them Kalmaid and DAP when my guy was on crate rest and the thundershirt for afterwards when he was afraid of traffic and also for when we do t-touch at home.

Speaking of crate rest we're one year post op tomorrow! :pac: :pac:

PS - the amount of zombie threads lately - is it to do with Halloween? :P

So a year ago today we were sitting in the waiting room of Gilabbey vets in Cork waiting to leave our baba in to have his leg straightened. A long long day waiting to hear if he was ok and when we could collect him and head back home to Dublin, him followed by months of careful crate rest and restricted exercise. It was hard at times but worth every second when I see him hobbling around in this video :


and then running amok in this one from last month (they had cut the long grass and he went mad lol but I was slow with the phone so missed his first couple of laps :pac:)



my baba lol
