The only thing I let in My mobile home is Grace, My cat.

This is the new guy. He's found his way into the bedroom. I guess I'll
have to stop putting out overnight food in the bedroom for the pets.
It was raining, which is why he looks wet. He is.

For some strange and unknown reason I don't get any neighbourhood critters wandering through my bedroom but a couple of days ago I woke up with a suprise, my latest acquisition had decided that my bed was more comfortable than the floor and had spread himself right across me and the bed.

He is a 5 year old German Shepherd a big boy 29" at the shoulder and 50kg weight.

It looks like he has got one or two lessons to learn.

Two dogs over here. Everything else stays out.

@ Kevin. He has to learn not to be a bed hog and share.

He is not the only dog here, my old girl always sleeps beside my bed, GSD's can be quite crafty, and he has been with me just about long enough to "try it on".

Unfortunately for him I am well used to tricks like this and he will not get away with taking liberties.

Grace sleeps wherever She wants to, even with Me, sure She's just a 16lb cat with 1/4" long claws, but She loves Me a lot.

I wear my eccentricity proudly.

He had parvo for approximately four days and recovered 100%. But I posted
this just to show his size change. He's still a little fellow, but larger
than he was, of course.

Sissy is the one that died. :-(

What is this? Is it supposed to be serious?

Edit: Dumb question maybe, but there's a lot of discussion about inbreeding
pugs and what it's done to the breed.

Um, no.

unfortunately it is not only pugs, a lot of other breeds including my preferred breed the German shepherd have known health problems caused by this.

My latest mutt, he has got a good pedigree and has no known inherited problems but techically he is not to breed standard so totally unfit for breeding or showing (not that I do either anyway) He is 3" over height at the shoulder and due to being properly proportioned he is consequently heavier than the breed should be, but he is not overweight.

My old girl (another GSD) is long haired, another no no but again she was purchased by her original owner (now passed) with a pedigree.

I have owned, trained/retrained or assessed a lot of others that have had pedigree's that are not of breed standard but have been fit and healthy, I have also worked with others that have been to breed standard with bad health problems.

For anyone thats wondering, I assist a local GSD rehoming charity.

I love dogs, and would far rather have a healthy "mutt" than almost any of the "show standard" things that were on display at Cruelty Crufts this last weekend.
Certain breeds get a bad name, mostly due to their owners not looking after them properly. Anyone who has a dog must be prepared to give it the correct food, love and exercise it needs, my life style prevents me from providing two of those three, so I have no dog :-( from me, but probably :-) :-) :-) from the dog!

I deliberately avoided mentioning that, the language I would have used would have got me banned from here.

I have had to take over care provider duties from my step sister and her ex. They had no means of properly providing for two chihuahuas. I don't want to speak badly of them, but the dogs lifespans encreased under my care. I have one the of chihuahuas left to care for. The first one was in his senior years and pass on several years ago. The remaining female is in her twilight years. I do my best to try and make her time here as nice as I can.
