Jess and Paddy.
Jess is a 3 year old rescued mongrel bitch. Fast and a great guard dog. Paddy is a 8year old soft-as-***** cocker.

Jess looks like she might eat your face off if you come any closer.
Marley the Cockerpoo is gorgeous!
This is Jake. Sadly no longer with us. It's been 18 months since we lost him and I still look for him when I get up in the morning, half expecting him to be there. Fully intend to get another Staffy when the time is right (always had them around, grew up with them).

Jess is actually a softy, except when strange men come to the door. Loves kids. She was a bit wild when we first got her from the home. Alls kin and bone, and not a hair on her tail.
My brother's dog Chino in between Jess and Paddy

This is my boyfriend's dog Pip last Christmas. Just thought I'd add a little Christmassy pic
Had a bit of potentially sad news yesterday, Pip hasn't been well since Christmas, seemed to be a bit disorientated and walking into things a lot. OH's parents took her to the vet 10 days or so ago, and the vet discovered she was blind in one eye, which could explain the disorientation. She put her on some kind of painkilling tablets because she'd hurt her back getting herself stuck under a dining chair.
They've gone on holiday (are back tomorrow) and Pip is staying with my OH's grandma and granddad while they're away. His grandma rang yesterday and said that she was getting worse, falling on her side and just laying in her bed, not her normal self at all (she's a typical bouncy terrier normally). She took her down to their local vets yesterday (which incidentally is where we take our cats and we know the vet there really well) and after a really thorough examination, he's got a gut feeling that little Pipsqueak has a brain tumour.
He says it *might* not be, but that's where the signs are pointing. He gave her some anti-inflammatories yesterday, but grandma didn't want to give them permission to do too much, with her not being their dog.
So when his parents come back tomorrow (they don't know about yesterday yet) they'll have to decide whether to do CT scans, etc, and see where to go from there. But she has gone downhill so rapidly, it looks like the likely cause and that there won't be much that can be done if it is the case.
Cross your fingers for little Pip

Pip sadly was put to sleep yesterday. She had gotten considerably worse over the last two days and when my in laws got back from holiday and took her down to the vet again, they asked what he would do and he said that if she was his dog, he would put her to sleep . So they did it yesterday afternoon. My other half was understandably upset yesterday, even his dad shed a tear- I've never in 4 years seen that man cry. Isn't it strange how the toughest people can be so soft over their animals. They really are big parts of a family.
RIP Pipsqueak- we're going to miss you!
