We have had 3 border collie/cross rescue dogs since we got married, they were all perfect. Our current rescue dog we’ve had 18 months, he’s a Staffie/Jack Russell cross and he is perfect, so loveable.

We just chose the most pathetic ones who were nervous wrecks and gradually got them confident. Or as with our current one, we just fell in love with him at first sight. He was in Birmingham dogs home and they wanted to rehome him with the dog he had came in with. But due to circumstances we could only take on one smallish dog. So we carried on looking. We visited a local dog’s home a week later, an offshoot of Birmingham Dog’s Home, and he had been transferred to there…fate! But again they wanted to rehome him with the other much larger dog. We kept going back as we saw no other dogs that fit our requirements. Then my OH went on her day off, they said we could have him as the other dog had been assessed by the police and said it had pitbull genes and couldn’t be rehomed. So after a month we actually got him.

‘Somebody You Loved’ - great video, promoting an organ transplant charity, I like the version of the song which has a beat to it.
@Orgasm_Chaser sorry I couldn’t post - not allowed to more than 3 times in a row! But Peter Capaldi is a fab actor. Recently in Doctor Who, but tons of other stuff.

Hey guys. Anyone still around?
Unfortunately I don’t watch Dr who. I’m not really a sci fi person. Honestly I just don’t ‘get’ it. I watched stranger things and my brain is boggled
@Orgasm_Chaser you’re not a scifi fan ? Sorry we can’t be friends anymore. Lol.
Love scifi myself and the original Star Wars are the best in my opinion. One thing that blows me away is the show Dark on Netflix. I think I’ll need to watch all the series together because currently my head is spinning.

I hope you understand what I’m saying though. As much as I’m 5rying to concentrate I just can’t get into it. I’ll go as far as watching quantum leap lol

All of our dogs have been rescues 
I genuinely believe that the dog picks you as much as you pick it 
A golden lab from a broken home.
Black lab and collie that had to be rehomed together (It was love at first sight with the lab for me. Fate played a part as the collie apparently hated men and wouldn’t let people touch her but she couldn’t get enough of my 6ft plus dad stroking the full length of her)
A proper Heinz 57 who looked kind of like a half height Alsatian from the top, all caramel colours underneath - think I still miss him the most!
A tall lurcher who was rescued from death row up north.
Now have another lurcher who looks so delicate and elegant, a million miles from our previous one!
All have definitely had their own personalities and quirks, there’s not really any breed similarities that I’ve noticed.

You are so right, as soon as we saw the dogs we rescued there was an instant mutual connection, no matter how bedraggled and nervous they were. Our current dog is the only one that hasn’t got issues from being mistreated. Our others, we mended their damaged personalities and got them trusting humans again. I do have an affinity with animals and children, somehow we just get on instantly.

@MsR there’s not much more i know. A certain street is cordoned off at certain times this week as they film inside an old Doctor’s (how apt!) surgery, that is pretty much architecturally as it was in the early 20th century. There is a newsagents next door, and it was ram raided during the early hours one of the days this week. The film is called Benediction if you want to look out for it’s release. Loved Capaldi in Doctor Who!

I have that with animals, kids not so much 
some of ours had definitely been mistreated, not all of them thankfully. It breaks my heart how people can do that to animals. They’ve all got better and more trusting as time went on and had happy lives with us

@MsSubExperimenter me too, i’m a very placid person, but animal and child cruelty enrage me. One of our dogs, i absent mindedly rolled a newspaper up as i was about to bin it, she cowered thinking i was going to hit her. Our first dog used to lie on her back in submission and wet herself if either of our dad’s visited, but soon grew out of that. Then another, as i walked past a lollypop lady, he did a backflip, wriggled out of his collar (We’d only just got him and he was underweight) and ran off into the road, i was in the road stopping traffic until i caught him. I don’t know if it was the lollypop pole that frightened him, but after a lot of love and reassurance we got all our dogs back to normality.
