For the love of dogs

elsien

just turned over to this on ITV and am now wondering whether it's a good move when I've just decided to give the dog hunting a miss for a bit longer due to personal circumstances.
I want one. Or several. Or all of them. If they show an EBT I'll be in the car faster than a speeding bullet.

Edit - and staffie agility. Brilliant.

I'm recording this show. On last weeks there was the cutest puppy who was adopted by Dr. Fox the dj, and a staffy that had been nearly starved to death. I struggle lately to cope with the distressing scenes, it seems to have got worse as I get older, I'm 42. I had a fledgling die in my garden the other day and I was so upset, I don't even really like birds. So I have to be in the right mood to be able to watch. I couldn't go there as I would want to take them all home.:(

Wait till you get to 48 minimad, it gets no better!

Missed the programme last week, loved it this week. As I keep saying to Mr Bugslet, since we have 6, we'd barely notice one more.......:o

You know, I was wondering if it might be worth contacting Paul O' Grady on Twitter if anyone's a subscriber of that, about Ruaridh who went missing last Bonfire Night. Maybe he could do an appeal.

He really does seem to have a genuine love of dogs.

Happy tears this week for Bourbon and her pups. That terrier puppy was so cute, I think he's going to keep his new owner busy.:D

He asked on the facebook page for anyone with a missing dog to let him know. He's had literally hundreds of people replying!! I don't think he should do an appeal for one dog when there are thousands missing, it's not very fair.

Thanks Picklepick. I don't bother with Facebook so have no knowledge of it...but if he has actually asked for anybody with a missing dog to contact him, where's the harm in letting him know about Ruaridh?

After all, he's been missing without trace now for almost a year despite the huge efforts made by so many people, on here and in his home town.

He has been, it was posted on the page along with all the others.

Apparently there was only one dog featured in the series that wasn't rehomed, so Paul O'Grady has adopted him :j:j:j.

He mentioned it on the One show, before the series started, otherwise I would probably have had to be restrained from jumping on a train to London.:rotfl:

I think it must be one of Bourbon's pups. I read it was a chihuahua/jack russell cross that he'd got and that is what they said she was. I surprised he only came away with one dog.
