[neddy]

Got plenty of snow in midlands. Im having lazy day. Phoned work and not gone in this afternoon and picked kids up from school as closed and playing in garden having few beers lol

 

[falafael]

Where in midlands are you neddy??

 

[SloeBrewer]

Had a couple of inches here in Bristol, no busses running, so enforced day at home making beer labels!

One of my dogs ran out this morning, skidded to a stop, and just stood there barking at the snow :grin: Our dogs hate the cold, but the novelty was too much, and they chased each other round for a bit, before retreating to the warmth inside. Going to be fun trying to take them for a walk later.

Been snowing lightly all day here in central london. Theres about an inch on some parked cars, but besides that its not really settling. Still, I bet the trains are off come home time....

 

[neddy]

Swimbos just had a meeting cut short in Cannock as 4" of snow in the carpark already and they're having difficulty getting folk out :shock:

What are the dogs?

Manchester Terriers...hard to tell...look a bit to big :hmm:

 

[31bb3]

It's quite deep here now about 4 or 5 inches the roads are bad swmbo is on her way home I the bus said the traffic is horrendous

 

[SloeBrewer]

Vossy1 is right, they are Manchester Terriers :clap:

They have coats for when I take them out, but one of them hates having cold feet so kicks her back legs up in the air all the time - we call her buckaroo when she does it :lol:

Here's one out on a walk

And here's a video of her doing the buckaroo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4zn9K8Gfjg

I thought they might be, but without anything as a better guide to size (unlike the phot above#0 I thought they might be pinschers and would have hated to upset a pair of pinschers by calling them terriers

I do like the Manc, a nice little thing, looks like a 'real' dog, but small enough to keep under control if it gets stroppy on a walk :)

 

[tazuk]

on tv it said for some parts of wales red alert 20 cm :shock: :shock:

 

[PD]

that should reach a welshman's waist then. :grin:

 

[jodape]

[tazuk]

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of most small dogs, especially the ones that look more like rats than dogs Because the Manchester has proper length legs, it looks like a big dog, scaled down. In fact, the question I get asked all the time when I'm out is: "are they Doberman puppies?" as they are almost identical in shape and markings (because the Manchester was used, in part, to create the Doberman). Only thing is, being terriers, they have some annoying traits, but I love them to bits.
