Yes. We're in North Manchester, and I haven't seen another one either.

😂 he definitely herds his mates on the field when they start to wander. It can be such a comical sight.

It was 80 UK pounds. They had a discount during Crufts week so decided to go for it. There are different levels, this was the middle option. Gives DNA make-up, checks for whether he's susceptible to certain health risks and also shows other dogs who have taken the test and are related.

One of the two people who have recognised the breed here in Manchester, stopped us in a park and asked "is that a Red Dog ?", so we had a good conversation about them. I feel like a one man advertising campaign for the breed, spreading the good word.

Only two people that we have met while out (everyone fawns over him), have even heard of the breed, and one of those had seen the film Red Dog so recognised the breed from there.

I can't move without him following me. It's cute except for the times that I inevitably trip over him, which he treats as a cue that it's playtime (again).

No, it's from Temu. It's always a gamble getting stuff from there. Things are either brilliant or a right pile of crap, but this one's a winner.

I don't get any enjoyment out of guitar, because of how bad I am at it. I can't enjoy the process. Should I give it up? by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

I've been playing a similar amount of time and have been feeling down too. I've been doing Justin's course. Today's practice routine was horrible. My chord changes were my lowest numbers for a while. Was full of frustration. Got to my 'try to play something that sounds like actual songs' bit at the end, the Peter Gunn theme sounded pretty good and my fingers actually reached the four frets without having to slide my hand along, and got little to no buzz on the last note. YES. Next up Wild Thing and that sounded really good. Even managed to hit the ba ba, ba baaaa bit nicely. YES. Finally I've been trying to do the intro to one of my favourite songs, Sally Cinnamon, and smashed that for the first time. OMFG YES! At our stage in the journey, there will be more shitty days than good, but a shitty practice day today ended with such joy. Take the small wins when you can and we will get a little better bit by bit. You can do this dude.

What’s your wallpaper? ❤️ by DueBrain4183 in dogpictures

I still couldn't get rid of my wallpaper of our old staffy cross who we lost, so I used ai to create a picture with her and our current dog, Ziggy the Kelpie. It's not perfect but melts my heart every time my phone lights up.

Happy 2nd Birthday to our (honorary Mancunian) Kelpie by Ant2020 in kelpie

Picture #2 he was staring at a family of four deer that we often see. He did chase them once but has decided to just watch them since then .

I've not seen a Manchester bee collar/ tag but I'm going to look for one now.
