Nevertheless, they deserve as good a life as any "proper" dog.

No, it's just that bizarre Brit humour. Though I'm in a time zone very close to yours right now. And missing my dog who I haven't seen for a week or two. She's as thick as two short planks but special nevertheless.

Took this lad on couple months ago! He's acts like a bull in a china shop about 95%-ish of the time but the small percentage of time when he is solemn and calm makes up for it.
For anyone who doesn't have a Sibe, don't get one! Honestly get a cocker spaniel or something smaller and less destructive, for those that do own one i'm sure you'd agree the house would feel empty and character-less if they weren't about, now we have one If I was to get another dog it couldn't be anything but another Sibe!Life Is A Game, Play It To Win

With all this hot weather and after a very long walk, I thought I would reward the Pups with a cooling off in the River Avon!

That's OK, my Jack Russell thinks you're a bit of a twat as well and is wondering if you fancy a fight. He's up for it, anyway. Originally Posted by Hobo-Ken 'Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear'?
