Your picture of the day...

Gorgeous dog !

Paddytray .;

Thank you! She's getting old now (10,5 yrs) and she's more sensitive to cold now, even in the summer. Or....the season that is supposed to be summer. Now she has her own summer sleepingbag ;-)

My Staffordshire is an old lady now so I have her training the young dogs (boxer cross mastiffs)
I have never seen the breed you own , she looks similar to a Staffordshire though obviously not one .
And she is a beauty .

Glenasmole Valley, Dublin. A little bit of heaven, especially on a calm summers evening.

Interesting. We're taught to watch out for heat stress (heat stroke or heat exhaustion) in dogs of this type.

Sorry! I didn't see this one until now.
She is an american staffordshire terrier (amstaff). One of the few left in Norway these days.
Unless you have a "staffbull", I think we have the same breed

Oh? Is that so? Well, heat is a rare problem in Norway :umbrella:
It's almost a phenomenon if we have several days with high temperatures...

I'm not sure which is my real picture of the day. This one of the spiderlings in the sedums on my green roof:

Or this one of the view from our picnic last night...

At this rate those baby spiders will get huge in no time.

I haven't, no. But I will try it. The shot pictured is the 'correct' way up. But it might work rotated to the left.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I suppose it depends on what you define as warm weather. For a short nosed breed (I believe the term is "brachiophylic) temps as low as 60f (15.6c) can be warm enough to induce fatal heat stress.

Day out at the kennels open day and at the age of 3, the boy has got his first ferret, well, pair of ferrets actually.

Fantastic photo good to see the next generation being introduced to ferrets and fieldsports in general.

Not today, but recent. Oldest grandson (James) with his first babysitter (Dinah)
