Craig photographs his fellow trekker climbing the dune to search for her missing companion.

After finding her friend, they set off into the setting sun looking for shelter from the Empire in a hidden desert Resistance outpost.

Andrew Tate is the worst type of influencer. Millions of teenage boys who idolise him will soon be young men with dangerous attitudes towards women.

Last year was not such a good one for my nearest and dearest. Getting older, aging parents and the issues that come with all that. However, I don't want to dwell on the shit that happened, but rather on one of the positives, being the good news thread and all.
Just under 13 months ago we adopted mad pup. So a year or so later where are we? Well, he doesn't eat shoes any more. He has stopped shitting on the rugs. He sometimes comes back when called, just as long as there is not anything more interesting to be found elsewhere. He loves stirring up the old boy but still allows him to "win". He loves to walk and run and never stops. He beats most dogs on our beach, only a greyhound pointer x bests him over 50 m. He's a delight really, still mad as fuck but such a positive in our lives. Not pretty, but he does get attention. Here's to our dogs, love em.

Nice one, Blackers. Dogs keep us sane. Hope the other stuff get better.

I'll take a leaf out of your book and not dwell on the fact that our old boy is dying, but that we've had 13 years of unconditional love (both ways, of course), fun, madness and joy.

These days he spends about 20 hours a day sleeping and can barely get up. But he still wags his tail and eats his food, bless him.

How good are dogs! It's hard IB, got no words for you except when the time comes it's hope it's peaceful.

Blackers, great little write up on the pup. He sounds like a beauty.

Our little Lab has slotted right in and is part of the family. We also have another new Mini-Schnauzer pup and they're as thick as thieves now.

Thank you, Supa and FR.
He went downhill fast the last 10 days, and was losing his faculties and dignity, so we had to act. Not easy, though.

Good morning, and thank you for all your kind words.

It's was very strange to go to sleep without the gentle snoring of an old hound in the background, and to wake up without him.

After a wonderful long life, he had few pleasures left, and the last few days he couldn't even enjoy sniffing around in his fave spots, couldn't get comfortable in his bed, and was deeply ashamed after pooing on the floor. It was definitely time go.

Life goes on, until it doesn't.

Island Bay. My condolences to you and Mrs. IB. He and you guys had a great life together. Hardest thing for us mere humans to do is to end an animals life, totally heartbreaking, but we know when it’s time, plenty of abnormal signs tell us that. I imagine you’ll have many thoughts running through your mind over the next few days, months, some sad but mostly joyous ones triggered by some visual or mental cue. He was a happy dog and that’s what they do, make you Happy. All the best AW.
