not I hasten to Huskies, learnt my lesson with HB
but two 11 year old german shepherds, yes I know the Jaspar Carrot joke, sister and brother.

That's probably because you're trying to drag/drop them into the grey box below the text editor? That's only for PDFs.   You need to use the "Add Image to Galley" link further down under the editor.  This has always been the case on this forum   

If it's in your gallery ok, find the image and copy the "BB medium image" link into your post.

I've just done that to embed this old image

Maybe you need to go to Specsavers. There seems to be a handy link on your picture

How are you getting on with the two shepherds Alan?

hi Trev,
they settling in quite well, though Ria is quite vocal when other dogs come too close and is very protective.
both pulled on the lead, but I walk them on a check chain at the moment, and they are slowly getting the idea.

the one annoying habit is they, unlike me, like to get up at about 05:30 to go out for a pee.

funnily, about a week or so before I had the chance of these two I had phoned DAC Melton Mobray to enquire about rehoming an ex RAFP dog, but had to leave a message.
I had a call from them this morning, a lovely lady, who said the office had not been manned recently, and she was working her way through the voice messages.

Luxury! If only I could last as long

They'd be welcome to come with me every couple of hours!

a long way to go for a pee, I'm afraid, they usually just make it to outside the back door.

Try a  Border Collie puppy.. currently 9 months old, teeth and paws into everything..

Hence the delay in muddling, daren't leave him on his own and definitely not near a model railway..

Chap I knew had one of those. He had to keep it in a cage if he wasn't going to be in the room for a while - after it ate its way through both plasterboard layers of a stud wall 

Freyr has a cage not 3 feet from me, I've built an outdoor run 6ft high steel weld mesh fences, slabbed floor, steel kennel...

Oh and he's learnt yesterday how to open the back door so we have to have it locked..

Our 10 year old Tibetian Terrier kept waking us up in the night to go out for a wee ,We now put puppy training pads down on the kitchen floor and she got the hang of useing them and doesnt wake us up any more ,Ok they  do cost us but worth it for a full nights sleep ,But now like Mick its me that gets up in the night every 2 or 3 hours while the dog now sleeps .
NO I DONT USE THE PUPPY PADS before any bright spark makes that comment .

I was about to bet you a Tena that you did 

That comment is just pants

Years ago, when we had Grappa, our first Staffy, we put him in a cage.

He only managed to bend the bars sufficiently to wiggle out...
