can your dog climb a ladder

This Guy’s Security Camera Revealed How His Dog Climbed A Ladder To Get To Him On The Roof

Dog owner Vince Matteson of Portland, Oregon had quite a surprise recently when he found his dog on the roof next to him. He was quite shocked at first, trying to think of a way the dog got on top of the roof.

My dog can't climb a ladder but she can fart every three minutes like clockwork.

A dog who already knows how to take his ease.

My Mrs has worked part time for several years now. She has been moaning that she wants to finish completely for the last two years. This morning I saw a beautiful Whippet lurcher dog six months old in Alsager animals in need. I am smitten with him Scrappy needs a home. Experienced with dogs tick, experience with sight hounds tick, no children tick. Must not be left alone for more than a few hours hmm problem.
Dearest. you can retire with immediate effect its not a problem I earn more than enough for the both of us.
She bottled it. I am angry. There is no way on this planet she is retiring early the cow will work until she is of proper retirement age.
Sorry no link as I am not on faceache.

Growing fast.

@Ravers They certainly are, all about the same size from the looks, bet their mum is kept busy

Yep. There’s no runt of the litter. You can’t tell any of them apart yet. All the same size, all the same colour.

How did you manage that? Ours range in size from 320g to 468g, and in colour from cappuccino to Harry Windsor!

Edit to add no runts though all healthy and hearty. In fact the tiniest girl is a spirited, feisty little madam.

Any difference (if you kept track) between those born naturally and those from the C section?

The first three (natural born) are biggest tiniest and fairly small. The four that came later include the second biggest. It's weird.

To be fair I haven’t weighed them but they all look about the same.

When they’re still this small, any difference can be put down to having a full belly or not.

Nearly found homes for them all and that’s just through word of mouth.

A dog and a bitch left.

That's good, with the parents they've got I hope they all have productive working lives, the last two will no doubt go rapidly too, unless you decide to keep one

I was appalled when you said how much @Grownup_Rafbrat 's litter would fetch on the market, while I agree that price should keep wasters away, the idea they're an expensive commodity is disturbing.

Yep. It’s crazy prices right now.

Cheapest I’ve seen KC registered working labs advertised for is 2.5 grand.

Most are around 3 but some even more.

Mine aren’t KC registered but are very well bred with traceable lines and all health checked etc.

Going rate for non KC registered is 1800 - 2500 quid.

Even Patterdale Terriers and Staffies are going for over a grand.

To be fair prices have been low for years. They’re at an all time high now because of lockdown and more people suddenly working from home, but I don’t think we’ll ever go back to the days of labs changing hands for 600 quid.

That really is disturbing, not from the perspective of responsible owners properly disposing of the occasional planned litter, but from the motivation of crime. Dog theft is an abomination and irresponsible breeders pumping out litters which is also atrocious are both attractive in cash terms, that's why I'm so alarmed.

There are reports of people smashing windows, barging into houses and threatening resident children to make folk hand over litters. It's vile.

I know they are lovely. I am going to cry buckets when they go to new homes, even though they are going to friends and family. Like Ravers we have one girl and one boy unclaimed as yet, and the step grandsons are visiting later. The garage will be open to fresh air and socially distanced puppy viewing will take place. They and their mother have been arguing with the Useless Stepson about having a dog ever since they knew ours was expecting.

More pics today, as you ask so nicely.
