Mr Wonderful Himself 🖤

[Blackbird9]

So he's had a grooming and he's so pleased with it .. got rid of all the fuzzy stuff that now annoys him in the heat ...

Groomed at 9 in the river by 12 😂

[sassy59]

Now doesn’t he look the bees knees! Lovely boy. I did laugh at him going into the river for a swim after grooming. Just what I’d expect Stan to do. ❤️💜❤️💜

[Blackbird9 in reply to sassy59]

I wouldn't expect anything less from himself he does look the nuts 🥰

[sassy59 in reply to Blackbird9]

He certainly does. Xxx💕

[Damon1864 Volunteer]

He really is a handsome boy, you've just got to love him. Have a good night and take care 😊 Bernadette and Jack 🐕 xxxxxx 🌻🌻

[Blackbird9 in reply to Damon1864]

Can't help my heart skips a beat when I see him happy 🥰

[Bevvy]

Go Stan! Way to self groom after all that pampering and smelly lotions.

[Blackbird9 in reply to Bevvy]

Exactly roll in fox poo 💩 sorts that out 😂

[Bevvy in reply to Blackbird9]

Oh isn’t that the absolute worse! Nothing like having to wash dog in tomato juice first before shampooing. Especially when late for work in the morning 🤦‍♀️. I DO miss my boy though, even though it’s now many years since I lost him. Nothing will replace that bit of my heart. 😢

[Blackbird9 in reply to Bevvy]

It never does get easier.. I carry Tomatoe ketchup as part of my washing kit ....Great stuff 😍

[peege]

Heat? 🤣He looks completely different, must be a lot easier to clean & dry him when you get home ××

[Blackbird9 in reply to peege]

Ah they are washed and dried after walk I have a washer in the van filled daily with warm water and doggo shampoo 😅 22 here today very warm 😀 and a short clip makes our life so much easier x

[peege in reply to Blackbird9]

Crumbs it's freezing not far north of you, 13° most of the day & reached the giddy height of 16° by 5pm.Ah yes, I recall now you told me about the warm doggy wash before. My daughter has something similar for her two . I think I'll invest in one when I move ××

[Blackbird9 in reply to peege]

Shorts and vest top today.. yes the washers are great mines plugs into the cigarette lighter bit and runs of that otherwise its pump and spray...Where are you moving 💙

[peege in reply to Blackbird9]

Across country to Ely - hopefully. I'm a townee & love my house & Cheltenham where I live now however, I need to be near my older sister in Suffolk who had a massive stroke last September and my youngest & her little family are just 5 miles east of Ely. I think my daughter fills her tank with very hot water from the tap, by the end of their walks it's still warm so the warm water is pumped through the shower head.

[Jane2005]

He looks so handsome 😍. So funny how they feel the need to get muddy straight after a groom 😅

[Blackbird9 in reply to Jane2005]

He does it groomed or not 😂😂

[Oshgosh]

Looks very dapper x

[Blackbird9 in reply to Oshgosh]

He is that 💜

[madonbrew]

Oh Stanley! We love 💕 you! Groomed and muddy 😂😂😂

I never knew that about tomato sauce! You learn something new everyday don’t you!

[Blackbird9 in reply to madonbrew]

Yes it's great stuff takes the smell of fox poo right out there coats .. 💜

[Solily]

He looks so handsome!! 🐾🐾

[Blackbird9 in reply to Solily]

He is very handsome 😍

[Patk1]

😊x

[Blackbird9 in reply to Patk1]

💚💙

[Threecats]

Well, what a smart fellow he looks now😊 (although the fuzzy version is adorable too😀) Glad he popped in the river to get all that fancy pong off himself - I must remember that trick next time I have a haircut😂

[Blackbird9 in reply to Threecats]

Aww thankyou his Fuzzy version makes his coat all horrible to dry and it stays damp for a long time as he's curly ... I have him clipped every 5 weeks to give him freedom from the longer hair ... in this heat its so much better for him and me .. he seems more energetic when kept short ... and as he swims daily its best .. 🥰

[Threecats in reply to Blackbird9]

I just wish I was more energetic with short hair🤣

[Jaybird19 in reply to Blackbird9]

I know just how he feels having just paid my first visit in more than 2 yrs to hairdressers , after doing it myself for all that time ! Relieved but strangely light headed ! But I don't think I will be going any where near the fox poo !

[Blackbird9 in reply to Jaybird19]

😂😂😂😂

[Greenthorn]

"Mr Wonderful Himself" - I feel a song coming on! If I knew more about Stan I might try to write a song in praise of him, using that title!

[Blackbird9 in reply to Greenthorn]

He's a 14 year old cocker spaniel who makes my world spin... he's adored loves to chase and hunt birds swims daily rolls in sh#t ...Steals food when he can including blueberry muffins x 3 😁

[Greenthorn in reply to Blackbird9]

A good start, something for me to work on. I need a little more... His daily walks with dogs, his relationship and behaviour with ponies, any tricks, favored biscuits, anything that singles him out or stamps his character. PM if you like.If you are musical then these are the closing chords on "Mr Wonderful, Himself." Bbm9, Eb7, and Ab.

There you go. I've already got the end!

[Blackbird9 in reply to Greenthorn]

He dosent touch or go near any livestock...He has a group walk daily with 5 other dogs for an hour or more ...on my busy days he has another walker comes to take him in the afternoon...

He dosent get biscuits he's on a raw meat diet with raw vegetables loves fish ...

Loves a cuddle ...he's got a girlfriend called Bella she's a beagle and the two of them together are double trouble

We have had him only 2 years we got him from a lady who was a friend of a friend but he wasn't treated right but that's the past and this is his now ... he loves his beds drags them round the house...

Everyone knows him and waves when they see him

[Greenthorn in reply to Blackbird9]

Brilliant. That should be enough for me to work with. I'm in all day tomorrow (awaiting Amazon deliveries) so will have time to pen the lyrics. The tune is already forming in my head!

[SORRELHIPPO in reply to Blackbird9]

Well Mmmmmm, if he steals Blueberry Muffins I might just have to put on hold my plans to steal him, no one gets my blueberry muffins😍😍

[Blackbird9 in reply to SORRELHIPPO]

He only ever done it the once and they were mine 😂😂😂

[SORRELHIPPO in reply to Blackbird9]

Today, Wed. the god of dogs (maybe Pan) got his own back, regarding my feeling a little less loving, when thinking of stolen Blueberry Muffins. Just done my supermarket delivery for Saturday, they have no Blueberry Muffins!!! for how long??

[Hidden]

Bless him.

[Blackbird9 in reply to Hidden]

💙💜

[Lilylung]

He’s looking so proud of himself, what a sweetheart 💙

[Blackbird9 in reply to Lilylung]

He's definitely a sweetheart 💕

[Izb1]

Oh bless he is such a love, who couldnt love that face x

[Blackbird9 in reply to Izb1]

Nobody I know 😂😂

[watergazer]

Handsome Stan. Nothing like a bathe in the river to get rid of those loose hairs. 💙

[Blackbird9 in reply to watergazer]

Nothing like rolling in fox poo 💩 either he's showered now 😂😂

[watergazer in reply to Blackbird9]

🦊 poo - the best !!xx

[Blackbird9 in reply to watergazer]

😂😂😂

[BronchyBronwen]

He looks wonderful! Treasure him.

Very sorry to report that I lost my lovely Suzy in a traffic accident mid-May. Gardeners, usually so reliable at closing garden gate, had left it open, and of course my adventurous dog couldn't pass up the chance of a run over the main road. Died in my arms on way to vet. Miss her hugely.

😥

[Walkwalkwalk in reply to BronchyBronwen]

Oh. I am so sorry about your loss. Take care

Grace

[BronchyBronwen in reply to Walkwalkwalk]

Thank you for your kind wishes Grace.

[Blackbird9 in reply to BronchyBronwen]

Oh my I'm so very sorry to hear that ... you must be devastated 💔

[BronchyBronwen in reply to Blackbird9]

Thanks so much, Blackbird9. I am. Really kind. Sorry, didn’t mean to hijack your photo and post about lovely Stan. What a great character he is!

[Blackbird9 in reply to BronchyBronwen]

Oh my goodness please don't think like that you can say whatever you feel on my posts I don't mind at all 🥰

[BronchyBronwen in reply to Blackbird9]

Really kind of you. Thanks, and have a great day with Stan!

[lilypickle1 in reply to BronchyBronwen]

Oh my god bronwen, I am so sorry to hear that! That must have been terrible to have to deal with. Take some small crumb of comfort that you were able to hold suzy in your arms and tell her how much you loved her.

[BronchyBronwen in reply to lilypickle1]

Thank you lily pickle. It was. Still shocked, although nearly a month now. Brilliant friends have been so kind. Have a good evening.

[Walkwalkwalk]

He is looking very happy 😃 Grace

[Blackbird9 in reply to Walkwalkwalk]

He's always smiling even when asleep 😴

[Stratos20]

Very handsome Stan. It’s so lovely how much he is loved 🥰

[Blackbird9 in reply to Stratos20]

Definitely loved he's a handsome devil 😍

[dunnellon]

Ah, Sir Stan in all his beauty! Really? Took to the river 3 hours later!?! That's your boy!😂

[Blackbird9 in reply to dunnellon]

I wouldn't have him any other way he was in the bog today dirty filthy dog love him to bits 🥰🥰

[lilypickle1]

D'ya know, when I saw the headline pop up in my emails, I just KNEW it was going to be your little doggie! I was thinking that he doesn't know how lucky he is to be loved so much but then I thought, maybe it's you who are the lucky ones to have him come into your life? Either way, it's a wonderful win-win! Long may he continue to confound you!

[Blackbird9 in reply to lilypickle1]

We are very lucky to have him ... he's family and very much loved 😍

[Nicholatracy]

A Bonnie lad 🐞

[Blackbird9 in reply to Nicholatracy]

[HollyBoyd in reply to Blackbird9]

[Blackbird9 in reply to HollyBoyd]
