Brit

This is my beloved dog Brit (a very common name for a dog in the Czech Republic, I am afraid, lol). However, he was known to everyone in the family just as Pooch. He was a dachshund/beagle cross and we got him from a rescue in Prague back in 1999. He was very poorly then, just skin and bones, suffering from a very bad skin condition. With loads and loads of TLC he blossomed into the most amazing and loving dog I have ever met and we had 11 wonderful years together. Sadly, he passed away from cancer on 11 September 2010, some six moths after finally joining us in Britain, following a prolonged period of separation due to PET Scheme issues. He left a huge hole in our lives and we all miss him very much.

Such a gorgeous boy! Looks so serious in this pose!

I agree Ria - he looks like he is very regal

He certainly was very good at this type of pose, we used to call him his imperial poochieness sometimes because of it . You should see his pet passport photo or my husband's FB profile pic, he looks positively imperial there as well. x
