Woof woof woof, Animal Antics

Hello,my name is Clemmy (short for Clementine) they named me that up at Battersea Dogs home.
I was there for about six months,my old owners turned my sister and I out onto the streets of London and we were picked up by the old dog wardens.
I was very thin,and infested with all sorts of things,and I felt quite poorly,and sad.

Then one day I got released and sent down South to my new mum and dad...
Boy!! was I pleased..... trouble is I didn't like strangers much at all,and I trusted no one.
I really wanted to trust and be happy,but I couldn't....not at first.
I have been ill treated you see,in the other home.....but I don't want to go there...don't want to think about it any more.....

My new owners are great...I can see they love me,and I have grown to love and trust them.......I have all the comforts and great meals etc....I get lots of cuddles,great walks/runs, brushing.and tickle tummy's.....but I still cannot trust anyone else/strangers outside,or even them coming into my new home.....is it because I think they are going to take me away.....or could it be them..(the old owners come to take me back) !!
I run and hide till they have gone......

But hey,let me show you all a pix of me....then another day I'll tell you more with other pix.




I am a bit shy....so please be patient with me. See you next time you call in..

OMG Your story has brought tears to my eyes But how wonderful to have a loving home at last A big hug and a kiss for you Clemmy And even flowers

Bless her - she is beautiful Caro. I can see she has some lab in her but not sure what else - she has one of those expressive faces and I can't make my mind up if she has great dane or boxer features I know they are completely different looks but it's hard to tell from the angle of the photo. Whatever she is lovely. I look forward to seeing more pics of her

Apologies, Clemmy and Caro I have just read 'Anatolian Shepherd'

Now that's a breed I have never heard of

A lovely dog. I will say the dog is very articulate... let us hear more.

Thanks voice and sherry......Clemmy's breed Originates from Turkey...
(Google Anatolian Shepherd ).....but she was born here in England.......her sister Poppycorn didn't make it at the kennels in London...she was found to have cancer in the stomach...and was sadly put to sleep,there was nothing they could do for her...

Another pix....or our Clemmy in the snow.....loves it she does.




she just loves the snow......


caro.

Oh, she's a big girl and I can see the shepherd in her now in these close up photos.
Nothing like a lab or the other breeds I mentioned Sorry Caro

She reminds me a bit of our dog in the last photo.

What dog/breed have you got sherry ? had to edit last pix sorry...

caro.

Our Clemmy,having chosen where she wants to sleep.....





caro.

Our Clemmy is so frightened by even the sound of my camera being switched on or off...I have to do it out of the room or where ever, so as she cannot hear it,and take my chances......




I love this one,although thin,she looks quite majestic imo.....like a lioness almost.


caro.

There's a definite likeness in some photos to Merlin. It's strange as Merlin can look quite different in each photo as he has an expressive face, which looks to be the same for Clemmy.
There are several pics in here of Merlin As the older members will know I'll see if I can find one...........

Oh - he's german shepherd supposedly crossed with border collie, but people often ask if he's leonberger

Another of my favourites of our Clemmy. She loves this spot on top of the stairs,I know it's wrong of her to do this...but she does move when told to...





caro.

This is a pix of my little Toy Yorky Ben...Born 1989-2001 RIP..my little one.He was 12 years old when he passed over the "Rainbow Bridge " to join all the other little animals.
So one can see we have gone from one extreme to an other in the size of our dogs.I will show you all little Sophie later she has also gone over the " Rainbow Bridge "




caro.

She does look very majestic there - and the one at the top of the stairs Love it!!

Here's on of Merlin with his holiday friends - he's the third one along, german shep with floppy ears

Rainbow Bridge....where all our beloved pets go,to the Animal Kingdom....





caro.

Oh she is lovely sherry....what do you feed her.....

Clemmy has Burns dried...Lamb and brown rice...and what ever she can scrounge....

caro.

Sophie...my little Shadow,I say this because she followed me everywhere,where ever I was,there she was.....she passed on last April...I miss her so much...but I promised hubby the next dog would be his choice....hence our Clemmy..hubby loves large dogs....but we both adore our Clemmy,so that was a good choice....although I can't walk her ,she is too strong for me..although she is a gentle walker.
Sophie and Ben are both buried in our garden...






caro.
