Lol Tiga, he won't by the time he's finished spending all my grocery money.  Dad is 55kgs (about average for the breed) but they are usually tallish and a bit lean for their weight so not really an Arnot build there.

55kgs?

Sounds like Cotch and my youngest Nisha are going to be around the same size

Nisha's Dad is just on 60kgs, Nisha is currently 38kgs and still growing  :thumbsup

RICHMOND: TOM LYNCH

Lynch’s one-year-old groodle Gryff has a smart side: “He can open the back door and get himself out but can’t get himself back in”; and a naughty side: “We don’t have cushions on the couch because he chews them all”.

Lynch has learnt the hard way to hide the TV control from one-year-old groodle Gryff.

“He’s chewed up about three Foxtel remotes, so that’s the most annoying thing he’s done,” Lynch said.



RICHMOND: JACK GRAHAM

Graham’s one-year-old miniature dachshund Wally can be a naughty boy, once chewing his way through three light cords and a PlayStation controller and once “decided to do his business in a cafe”, but still gets to sleep at the end of the Tiger’s bed.

Graham said owning Wally had taught him to “leave nothing on the ground when you leave the house”.

Nisha still going strong WP?

I’ve got a retired greyhound that I raced .. Lucky turns 10 in August

I’ve also got another greyhound called Heidi who is 5yo

Both were very good race dogs that won in town, and both are better pets

Yes Nisha is going great, turns 7 in December. Had a knee reco in 2017 (Yes he popped his ACL).

Our oldest Jonty, our Lab is not so good. Old age has caught up with him. He has a number of ailments that can't be treated. So manage them as best we can and treat everyday we have with him now as a bonus.

I have heard what great pets greyhounds are. An uncle of mine raced them too and when they retired from racing he kept them or gave them to his kids as pets

Flashback to when Jonty first came home

Today was the day. We made a promise and we kept it Little Man

"Our Last Goodbye" to the most wonderful friend and companion. This morning when had to say our final goodbyes to our beloved Labrador Jonty.

The last 9 months were tough but he kept plodding (wobbling) along. We always said he was 2 foot tall and bullet proof.

Old age took a vicious hold in the last 72 hrs. It was time he said. Thank you "Little Man" we love you. Mum, Dad, Flame and Nisha

RIP Our Little Man

What a beautiful dog!
Such a kind face.

RIP Jonty. I’m sure you were given a great life and you rewarded your family with unconditional love.

Condolences to the "WP" clan.
It really is like losing a family member.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.
