I guess race does, but I just thought it would be worth pointing out the difference, hope you didn't think I was being out of order

And yeah, indeed, he was a pretty old dog lol. We took one of ours to the vet the other week to sort out an eye infection, and we were told that once a dog turns 8 or so, they're classed as geriatric, i.e an old person in dog terms! Which made us laugh, 'cause we have 3 dogs (10 years, 8 years and 4-5 years old respectively) and to think that 2 of them were the canine equivalent of elderly people was quite amusing - you wouldn't know it to see them the way they all behave! My dog especially, he's 8 (I got him when I was 10) and he's just a big puppy lol!

Ah, glad to hear it! And yeah, dogs really do lol...many years ago, I'd written down the b'days of our 2 oldest dogs on a notepad in the kitchen, but we lost it years ago after one of the many renovation projects that said room has undergone lol. I just know that one of them was born in Feb' 1998 and the other one (my dog) was born March 2000

lol....
We forgot it's birthday...

And how are your dogs called?

Originally posted by WojBhoy:[..]
The smallest one (yet also the oldest, my bro's dog) is called Ben - random fact, my brother has ALWAYS called his pets Ben, wherever possible, apart from when we had goldfish many years ago lol, and is a cross between a Jack Russell and a Yorkshire Terrier. My dog is called Monty, thick as a barndoor and is a pedigree collie (who, as my dad always says, are supposed to be an intelligent breed...), and our last one is called Pickle (we didn't choose the name lol, she was originally bought for my nan 2 years or so ago but we took her on after my nan died), and she's something like a cross between a collie and a fox or something! She's thinner than your usual collie, and has a sort of brown/red coat, hence we wonder whether a fox was involved in the canine version of a one night stand...

Yours?

lol....Ben is awesome...
But, really, Monty is great!
And Pickle...yeah...

Ours is called Mac....my sister came up with it lol....

Originally posted by WojBhoy:[..]
Aha, Mac, like it

I remember one of our friends telling us how someone they knew had called their dog Shithead, but I'm not entirely clear how true that is...

Originally posted by markp91:[..]

lol....Maybe the dog simply had a shithead...
