Thank you my friend, I haven't posted using my iPad in ages, and since the wifi connection is slow here, it's pretty frustrating. The pub I'm in is the Sheffield Tap, which opened in Sheffield station's decades unused First Class Waiting Rooms a few years ago :thumbup:

...Yesterday, the vet ...advised us to put him down. ... My boy will be sorely missed, I don't know how I could get through it without my 12 year old Remington and 3 year old Mack.

I'm sorry for your loss silenthunterstudios, Dock sounds like a great companion and friend. Remington and Mack are even more of a blessing now than ever, it's good you have them. Take good care of them and yourself. -James-

Very nice one from the looks, close to the railway is good.

It seems like there have been an insane number of dogs passing in this thread recently. I'm truly sorry for your loss, shs. Dogs are so bitter-sweet in that they have so much life, but you go into it knowing that they're not made to last near long enough.
 
Sts - terrible terrible news my friend. I'm extremely saddened to hear of your loss of such a beautiful friend.
 
The fellow with the round buckler? Looks like a proper axe that he's carrying. You can see the blade wrapped around the end. He's wearing some kind of heavy leather protective glove/gauntlet. Guy behind him has the same type of weapon, with the end of it pointing at us, blade pointing down and to the left. They look ready to vike.
 
Well spotted John :thumbup:

Very sorry for your loss Dan :thumbup:
 
SHS
Sad story about your dog.

Jack, this picture reminds me an old song by George Thorogood : "Get a haircut and find a real job. Don't be a slub!'

That is the one I mentioned. It looked like a really bad sword. I just happened to catch the band wrapped around the handle. At first I thought it was part of the man hole cover.

The guy behind him, just to the left looks like a serious Viking!


Very sad about Dock.

Loosing a dog is a way too painful experience.

My current dog is 10. He has lost a lot recently. I doubt he will see the snow fly again. In the woods, he used to chase and hunt. Now he just lays on his wool blanket I put down for him. I just had him tested for Lyme. Came back negative. Vet says, little to no arthritis. I make sure he gets some yard time every day. But the big trips are over. He doesn't even ask to go anymore.

I truly feel your pain. They leave such a gap when they go.

Yes, I see that now :o I thought it was some kind of wooden practice sword! :D :o :thumbup:

I dare say there are a few accidents when the mead is flowing! I know an English Civil War re-enactor whose been stabbed twice by accident! :eek:
 
Oh Dan, I feel for you. I went through it a week ago on Sunday when our beloved Jess died at 8years from the same thing as your Dock by the sounds of it.
Its a truly painful experience. The memories will live for ever. I'll have a dram for him tonight.

Dan I am so sorry to hear of your pup passing. I know no other one will be able to replace him but you do have your other two pals that you can get comfort one for another because I'm sure they miss him too. God bless you.
 
The pub looks suspiciously empty.
I wonder -was it full of people and noise with a vibrant atmos and a piano player plinking away at "Oh Susannah"?
Then in walks JB ,the piano abruptly stops ,the card games (probably more likely cribbage games) cease and wary eyes watch as he strolls to the bar.
"Half of Badgerworths Owld Ferret, barkeep" utters the sinister, non Viking attired stranger.
He calmly places 4 pocket knives on the bar as he rummages his jacket for his wallet.
The room erupts into a frenzy of terrified patrons making for the nearest exits.
An ancient stag head above the dart board is hit by a mis-thrown dart and falls onto the head of an old gent making his way back from the lav.
He capers about the bar ramming into people with his antlers in a blind panic.
A postman who had been having a crafty beer on his round flings his mail bag in the air ,the letters and cards fly everywhere but he has managed to get the door to the 1st class ladies lounge open.
A torrent of terrified patrons streams through to safety.Pensioners ,Vikings ,off duty railway staff and a diminutive two legged Stag with disproportionately large antlers.
In the ensuing serenity of the abandoned bar our hero takes his seat near the photos of old steam trains , has a cooling sup of ale and knowingly examines one of the knives.
Oh England ,my lion heart!:D
 
... And then he steps out of the bar, under the urrahs of the town's crowd, ladies throwing their bras in the air...
Euh.. no, sorry, that was for Mick Jagger! :D
