If you like to know someone, you should as well met his best friend. Here is my and I hope many will follow, as well when not in all cultures around the globe 🌎 the dog has such an important position:
1. We adopted Skila 2013 from a Spanish animal shelter.
2. She is a Ratanero Bodoguero Andaluz and took her temperament into the family.
3. She is the star of the 3 children and 2 adults.
4. She likes to make catwalks as well long hike tours.
5. When it raining, she behaves like a donkey, when she is hunting she do not care about water.
6. She is a good trainer for me, before my daughter starts...
7. When I‘m on business trip, she sleeps in my bed and my wife due to this do not like to shift the duvet cover.
Please share as well your short story and do not forget to post pictures of your dog.
Hi @TorM What a nice thread and beautiful dog you do have there. I have an havanese dog too, her name is Kira.. It is my companion and my friend. I got her around 2016 and ever since then, she has been a great addition to the family. Words aren't enough to describe how I love dogs.
Thanks, @HelloSamsonR, for reminding me! I saw the topic yesterday but had to leave for work and could not reply. Here's a video of my dog, "Málna" (I shot it two weeks ago on a "dog beach" - as you can see, most of the photos/videos are taken and uploaded there by me 🙂
She's been living with us for six years, since she was about 4 or 5 months old. We also adapted her from a shelter. She's a cross breed - according to the vet, a Jack Russel terrier and something else. She has much longer legs than a Jackie, though.
One of her hind legs is missing (it was severed and had to be amputated before we adapted her) but she is a happy and agile dog.
Edit: in the background, there is a small, black dog - also with just three legs - the two dogs are great buddies. "Handicapped" dogs may enter the beach free. Otherwise the entrance fee is about € 3 or $ 4 per dog.
The annoying lady yelling and whistling in the background is the owner of another dog and she apparently does not have a clue how to train her dog. 😄
@Gaieus) 
I live in an area that is very dog friendly. You can take your fur baby to restaurants, parks specific for dogs, take them on public transit (if you put them in a carrier or bag), pet stores or pet boutiques, and make them wear clothing and booties and stroll them in a dog specific stroller or pram.
My first born child was found at animal rescue shelter. She was a mom with her babies already given up for adoption.
This place does an amazing job finding dogs and cats with the right temperament and has a great reputation for doing so.
She was three when we both found each other. She is now 11 and turning grey. I was told she is part terrier, part Chihuahua and loves to be cuddled. She’s got the biggest ears and at times looks like a fox.
From the back, she kinda looks like a cat with those ears and very long body and short legs. She runs lightening fast.
She is known for her soulful eyes and when she looks at you it can be mesmerizing.
Cheers,
Karen
