Ed. As he was and is now.

I'm just feeling rather nostalgic. I have a dearly loved Staffie who is as 'daft as a brush', even the postman is not scared of him. And I wondered if anybody else had pet photos of their animals as they were 10 or so years ago and as they are now. Excuse the gate by the way. It was replaced last week.

What a lovely chap! We are all going more grey around the muzzle - me included! Thank you for sharing your photos with us.

This is Pads (aka Paddy, Padfoot, Paddington Paws...). She's 5 now, so just showing a touch of grey. The pics where her ears look like bunches still makes me laugh

Oh, and I've got a better camera now than I did then

She is gorgeous Sarz! We have had 2 pairs of German Shepherds over the last 20 years, Boris was our last one, he lasted until he was 15 and although he went deaf, part blind and very grey, he maintained his good looks! They're a wonderful breed.
Ed is beautiful too Sarraceniac. I wish we could have another dog, but we can't get about like we used to (and we're the ones going grey now), so we dog sit for our daughter's Springer Spaniel, Chester.

She's lovely Sarz. I used to have a Shepherd when I lived in London. Like Staffies, they get bad press but it's usually the owners who are off beam.

You're so right, with proper training and supervision both breeds are clever and loyal.

They're very 'vocal' though aren't they? She's laid next to me now chuntering away... I swear she says 'hello' when we come in too

Sarraceniac, in your photo it looks like you've painted Ed's face white along with a stripe down the fence! Bless him.

The young Ed has that vacant, glakkit (it's the best word to describe it) look, he's as daft as a brush! The older Ed just looks like a wee, old man. Sarz, your GS looks adorable.
