What's Your Dog Called

[pint of lager]

Very sad to read the news Screwtop.

We lost our bluey a few years back, had him for 16 years. He also loved a drop of beer so we buried him with his bowl, a stubby of beer, a squeaky toy, some treats and his blanket. Some nights he was partial to a drop of Scotch too. He helped out with the very first kit and kilo by drinking some of the lees out of an icecream container, running around stupid with the container in his mouth and one front paw still in the container for a while and then collapsing on the very large vhs player. Always loved supervising brewjobs.

The longer you have them, the more care you give, the harder it is when they go to the big kennel in the sky.

You will keep seeing him out of the corner of your eye, still doing laps around the place.

So commiserations to you and your missus. Go give her a hug and tell her we are thinking of you.

 

[Screwtop]

My condolences Mike. At least I had the chance to meet the old bugger whilst you were down here. I feel a little bad about poking fun at Ruffnuts but I suppose later you can look back and reflect and have a bit of a smile and a laugh. A well travelled mut that one. When I was a kid we had a labrador called "Bacardi" he lived to the ripe old age of 16. One of the saddest days of my life. Nearly cried, and I was 20 back then. I will kick back with a new batch of my FF tonight in memory.

Thanks mate, the cancer had spread up through the pallet and into the brain, so it was no wonder the "old bugger" (can't remember if I told you the story behind him getting that name in Canberra) used to wander round and round, bit like me after a few of your FF.

 

[tangent]

mate, i've had one go to cancer and it was a defining moment in my life. not just our most faithful either. relatives and friends as well.
i wish it were an affliction of the past.

 

[Screwtop]

Thanks again guys, I so appreciate the words, there are lots of brewing animal lovers on this site, says lots!

Lets get this back on topic and lighten it up, I have to get off here and be with SWAMBO.

So does anyone have a new 4 legged assistant brewer to introduce.

Thanks and good night all.

Good on you Mike - Take care of Margaret. You're a strong bloke and you've got a long night ahead of you. We're all with you.

Cheers,

Sean.

a mates just found out his dog has cancer, it's pretty sad when you get so attached.

my dog is called Coco, if she ever has babies I'll call them "son of coco" and "son of coco #2"

 

[apd]

Condolences to you fellas who've lost your pets.

My two are called Cheeky (the white one) and Dexter.

They are no help when it comes to brewing.

I reckon that your dog, like your kid, has gotta have a long name, but call it by the shortened version. So when it's being naughty, you can use the full length name, then they know they're in trouble.

Having said that, my dog's name is Meg.

 

[Brooksy]

We have 4 dogs, 2 Poms, a Pom X Jack Russell and a Blue Cattle X Foxy (bitch).
Dawson, Tigre (as in Winnie the Pooh tales), PJ and Pheobe. All are inside dogs and spoiled incredibly by SWMBO.

 

[TidalPete]

Keep looking at his beer saucer in the shed, can't believe it, SWAMBO's not taking it well. Poor old bugger,

Never been a big fan of dogs or cats (Unless they are other peoples that stay away from my location --- with one exception ) but am as sorry the little bugger is dead as I would be for any creature that has karked it.
His gross farts are no more :lol: he will always be "Stinky" to me.

My advice --- Don't get another dog or cat. Make your carbon footprint smaller for a better world. :super:
Who is your dog now Screwtop?
:beer:

Agree.
Ours is called "Psycho bitch from hell" when in trouble.

By her normal name at other times.

cheers

A mate from school named his dogs after lawnmowers. First one was Rover.
When he turned up with his new dog Flymo, geez we'd piss ourselves whenever he'd yell it's name.

quick but meaningful edit: Condolences for your loss, Screwtop. It's a hard time. Raising a glass of IPA to all our animal mates right now.

Sorry for my lateness...

Condolence's to you Micheal..

its funny how our pets become our kids in one sence or another..

once they have grown from puppies thier attitudes are hard to sway and they develop a personality of their own with all thier naughty and nice behaviors...you grow a custom to thier daily contribution's that eventually become back ground noise untill they are gone, then the void they leave is unfillable. Even though we know thier life span is shorter than our own we forget that they someday will be gone from our lives.

so enjoy it while you can... and not only your pets, your friends, family and loved ones...

Once again.. condolences from the Sqyre's.. including Max and Jess - The Guardians of the Shed.



Sqyre...

I'm sorry to hear about your loss Screwtop. We had to put down the missus's kelpie 2 years ago now due to athritis. I tell you it was one of the hardest things i've done. (not that i did it, that's what vets are for). It's not easy losing a family member, and that's what they are.

 

[bugwan]

Apologies to the dog lovers;

Louie, the cat.

Doesn't mind an IPA.

 

[ham2k]

My dog is a fat kelpie called 'Eli', pictured here with my boy Oscar. Basically this a farm dog my wife has turned into a heater **** that sleeps inside at night.



EDIT: Scratch that... just checked the website. He's been adopted!!!

If you don't mind indulging me....does anyone want a dog?

We found a young dog (approx 1 yr old) wandering on our property on Sunday morning. He was a lovely dog that was extremely friendly. We asked the neighbours but to no avail...so we took him to the pound later in the day hoping his owners would go there and pick him up. He was still there as of yesterday.

He is a pit bull X (we believe), undesexed male and from the morning he spent at our place extremely friendly and got on really well with my dog. My wife is due for our second next friday so we can't take on another dog but he is currently at the Renbury Animal Shelter in Leppington (near Liverpool), if anyone is interested.

Penny,
The name says it all. 1/2 jack russell, 1/4 maltese, 1/4 shitzu. Looks like a Jack Russell but pure lap dog, although she did notch up her first rabbit kill last week (after 5 years of trying) - must have been an old rabbit.

 

[glennheinzel]

I've got a Rottweiller called Rukh. I named him after an assassin character in a Timothy Zahn Star Wars novel. I thought it was an appropriate name. Of course this is where my AHB name comes from.

Whilst he is my dog, my parents have looked after him for the past 8+ years...

 

[tangent]

thanks for the excuse bugwan :beer:

my mrs bought a new strange breed. after having 2 of the most loyal friends "put down" we've got a miniature permanent-puppy English bull terrier
just wants to kill and eat all day

This is my Great Dane 'Pruedence'

On her back legs she is about 5ft 10, and weighs in a tad under 55kgs

 

[LovesToBrew]

My Dog's name is Basil

 

[AngelTearsOnMyTongue]

My last Dog was a fantastic, stocky Black and Tan Kelpie from Campbeltown in Tassy.
His Name was Jeff.
Unfortunately I moved to Scotland for 5 years and left him with a mate in Albany WA.

He was the smartest dog i ever encountered but still wasnt smart enough to recognise a fox bait.

I still miss him.

My dog is called Zack an 8 year old Blue Healer.
Great dog, real protective, loves me & puts up with the missus, hates everyone else but hey thats how Healer's are.

 

[Gnome]

I got two dogs, Ralph and Dudley

 

[warra48]

Current dog is a pug, called Elsie, by our daughter. Her initials are LC.
Previous dog was a poodle/kelpie cross, called Polly, after the waitress in Fawlty Towers. We had to put her down just before she turned 17 because of dementia. One of the hardest things I've ever had to do (well, the vet did it).

 

[Paxton]

I've got a 10 year old Cattle Dog (cross Mongrel) called Sooty. My (now) Mrs. named her. Best dog ever, seriously, I think she is smarter than some people. I'll try and find a photo.
