Crap picture in comparison, but, here's a bedraggled looking me and Mr Handsome Doberman, Ace. Early morning for me at the National Water Sports Centre which is just round the corner from where I live. Still building my confidence with walking him as he reacts terribly to other dogs - he goes absolutely mad.

So from beauty to the beast! Here's Ace, aka, the beast or lump. The pictures provide little context as regard the size of him - he's huge. Someone asked me in the week what he was - a Bengali Tiger.

What a beautiful photograph. congratulations to you and your lovely daughter. Peter

Rita without a doubt. What about the alternative Rita take which has an verse in it? P

Well I've had a week with Ace the Beast now. He is extremely loving and affectionate but it has been really tough and yesterday I was worn down and in a bad place. He's huge, and very, very strong, and doesn't walk well on a lead. Perseverance is the key and I'm more positive today. Here he is - the pictures belie his size.

5 hours? Once? You soft Northern lad. I used to dance non stop all night - at every nighter.

Derby Assembly Rooms all niters dance floor used to bounce with this track and many others. Pete

A bit of an emotional and physical roller coaster yesterday. It as finally the day when I collected Ace from the rescue centre near Stoke. He is a beautiful example of a Doberman Pinscher in my view - but I'm bound to say that. He is also very big, and very very strong. Yesterday, he was amazingly affectionate, but I knew he was wary of him being let down again. You should see him today - he's already cottoned on that this is his forever home. I've walked him nicely on his lead without any pulling, and he sticks to my left knee. He understand come, sit, down, stay. He's amazing. He has also taken the liberty of making my brand new sofa his best bed!

Mm, reminds me of an old hippy mate. Fed me hot magic mushroom liquor, cake and some Lebanese Red ganga. Fcuked me up real bad. I pushed my then girl friend over a fence on the way home, and had illucinations of some dwarf like, killer ventriloquist doll on the top of my wardrobe.

Error on my part - please ignore.

I hope its ok to post this in here - another from my twitter feed.

I will ensure that it does mate!

Progress has slowed down a bit due to unforeseen glitches - a little frustrating but then the house is well over a hundred years old. New solid and secure back door, new windows, and plaster board on ready for skimming.

Lovely Steve. Reminds me of the many nights I've spent in the beautiful village of Cisnădioara, near Sibiu, In Transylvania, Romania. No light at all - laying on the kids big trampoline, the sky full of thousands of stars, in the play area of our children's lovely home. The most beautiful place I've ever been too, for many, many reasons. You'd love it - the biggest population of bears and wolves in Europe. This is autumn time.

Wow! Thats a proper hair tingling moment Steve. Great picture mate. Lovely. Peter

I initially read that as "great on the gear"! I bought this cheap, on a lovely looking demo. The vinyl is really thin like those freebie records you used to get. Nothiong chesap about the quality - absolute beautiful soul record, with superb vocals.

Sometimes attempting to over intellectualise things takes all the fun and mystique away. Innit.

Welcome Steve Peter

Hello I am old on the site

Nice one mate. Nat's is beautiful as you say. I thought you and Lexy's mum were sorted - from afar afield as I saw - on here, you seemed to have a great fit. She's a pretty girl too. I'm getting used to the fact that there wont be another "significant other" in my life, so I'm getting my Doberman rescue next week! Take care mate. Pete

Ey up my mate. She's beautiful Sooty. Hope all is well boss. Pete

I saw plenty of things at nighters (on bad nights) never a badger though.

That's stunning Steve. Easily one of the best Badger cub photos I've ever seen. Well done mate. Pete
