@Makarwise Wolfgang and I love poodles! Here he is sitting in solidarity.

@sabergirl next time my girl comes into season we are going to call on the services of a big black male poodle. I haven't had the joy and challenge of letting this happen in my house but the family is all ready for it - PUPPIES! As to humane and doing the right thing, I find that one a personal choice in an almighty smorgasbord of 'doing the right thing'

[sabergirl]

@Makarwise well within your right, of course. But there are plenty of orphaned puppies in the world that could scratch that itch for you by being adopted. And if they aren’t adopted, they may be euthanized—which is very sad and should be unnecessary.

@sabergirl aye but they won't be the spawn of my little girl

[Makarwise]

@sabergirl and I do recognise this. My last boy - a german wirehaired pointer who I lost over a year ago, lived a wonderful life with us from the age of four (arrived beaten and frightened) till he died peacefully at 13. It's a great thing to provide loving kindness to dogs that have little chance in life... but sometimes you want to bring them up from scratch with only loving baggage that you have personally packed.

Here's my dog Lance from the 90's. Came with the name . Was rescued and gifted by my mom and my absolute best friend as a kid till young man.
Ive had 3 dogs since from breeders and they all have a special place in my heart. Dogs are the best!! No judgement here. I think it would be an incredible experience to have a litter of puppies one day. Please update if and when this happens!

Your cheese plant is looking healthy @derek111!

Mine have struggled this winter.

@Bridger our south facing window has done wonders for this thing this winter. It's damn cold, but we are getting sunshine.

[Bridger]

Ah, that's great @derek111

Sunshine helps minimising the cabin fever too

Feeling the pet love today myself.
Words cannot express the depth of love I have for this dog. Sadly, his love for the hose eclipses my love for him.

I heard @giles and @madamebuttonfly talking about the forum, and what a nice bunch of people there are there. So I thought I would join, and post some pics of me that I have previously posted on my IG account....
