Running buddy?

[Speedy60]

Meet Stanley, our brand new Romanian rescue dog. He's a 9 month old long legged terrier mix. Super friendly. 💕 Maybe I've found a new running buddy. 🥰

Ah bless him, what a character! I think he’d make a great running companion 😀 🐶.

[AlMorr Half Marathon]

Lovely dog, a good companion for your runs.

[59er]

He looks like he could enjoy a run! I'm sure he'll make a great running mate 👍

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

Aww Speedy, what a cutie. 🥰 Stanley is gorgeous, and I bet he’ll love running with you! I highly recommend having a little running buddy. 🐾🏃‍♀️❤️

We've just taken him for his first walk. He walks beautifully on the lead. I can't believe he's a stray, he must have had a home once. We've really lucked out. 😊

I might have to change my avatar 🐕😊

[Wenderwoo]

Ahh, lovely photo. Hello Stanley - woof, woof from Mr. Squiggy 🐶🐾. He will be a great running buddy 😊

[Speedy60 Half Marathon in reply to skysue16]

Thank you. I'm not planning on starting anytime soon, he needs to settle first and get used to us and all the sights and smells of England (and learn English!). Does your dog run with you?

[skysue16 Half Marathon in reply to Speedy60]

Yes, he loves it! A lot of my posts feature Squiggy 🐶🐾😀

[Decker Ultramarathon]

Aw he’s a beauty!

[Cmoi Marathon]

He looks so cute 😍 Speedy60 , and Jedi 🐕 says "Wouaf woof!"

[nowster Metric Marathon in reply to Cmoi]

Your doggy is bilingual? 🤣

[Cmoi Marathon in reply to nowster]

Yes, nowster , that's to say he understands both French and English, though doesn't always do what he's told in either language! 🐶🙉

Got him from a French family when he was about 13/14 months old. My husband and I are both British (though my application for French nationality went in months ago) so generally speak English at home. Hence the mix! Though we actually spoke both languages to our previous dog as well.

We’ve got a rescue terrier. They give a lot of love. 🐾🐾❤️

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Looks like a sweetie!😍🐶

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Nawwh! He's cute!!! Bet he's fast too 😀

[Run46 Half Marathon]

Aww, he's lovely...welcome to the forum Stanley 🙂I can see you two having a fun year, let's hope he enjoys running as much as you do 👍

[Speedy60 Half Marathon in reply to Run46]

Discovered this afternoon he's scared of lycra clad runners 😂

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Speedy60]

Uh oh...you? Or the others 😆Oh well, practice makes perfect...as long as he doesn't run at the back of your legs when he's scared like my Mum's dog does, good luck 😏👍

[Speedy60 Half Marathon in reply to Run46]

It was only his first proper walk. I think the more we go out, the better he will be. He wasn't barking or anything, just a bit nervous. It made me smile though 😊

[Run46 Half Marathon in reply to Speedy60]

Bless him, to be fair some of us do look a bit iffy in lycra 😆

Enjoy him x

[Cantstopmenow Half Marathon]

He's gorgeous. He's going to have a great life with you 😀🐕🐾

Someone else on here has a dog called Stanley. Is it RunaroundSue ? UpTheStanley is glad to see everyone naming their dogs after his footie team.

[Speedy60 Half Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Hmm, football. Is that that game where a load of people chase a ball around a field? I prefer my running to go somewhere. 😉 😂
