releasing hounds since 2002

Welcome to the new edition of release the hounds. There is a new wave of animals now inhabiting this website, but that’s not to say we forget the old ones. In fact, as time goes on, the old ones look positively angelic, as we forget all their bad behaviour and reminisce fondly upon their good traits. Like sleeping all the time. Under-rated, a dog who sleeps all the time.

The newest updates are always on the front page, or you can select a single category at the top if you’re only interested in one thing. I didn’t mean it like that. Wait, where are you going?

LA LA LA… oh. Hello.

What? I’m meant to be SLEEPING?

SERIOUSLY?

Hahaha! Oh,you’re so funny.

SLEEPING. Heeheehee! As if I would!

Oh Brenin, you’ve dropped your tiny toy turtle and it looks like you’ve given yourself a modesty patch.

THERE’S NOT A BIG ENOUGH TURTLE IN THE WORLD.

We took Brenin round to meet Sheeba, Rob and Mary’s new Leonberger pup. Brenin was somewhat less than enthused, mainly because he had been neutered the day before.

Sheeba, stop chewing that towel and let me tell you about the time when I had bollocks.

Ah, my bollocks. They were wonderful. Such happy memories.

You see, Sheeba, you’re a girl. You don’t understand the sadness. Although I appreciate your concern.

OK, so I can look happy. That’s because I am in a paddling pool.

Memory… All alone in the moonlight… I can smile at the old days… I was beautiful then

I AM SHEEBA YOU WILL LOVE ME

I has no friends. Woe. Also I am extremely dirty.

Look I has a friend! Wait, why are you sniffing me? Is it my aftershave? Look at your cat. Now back to me. Now back at your cat. Now BACK TO ME.

What do you mean cats can’t wear aftershave? WHAT HAVE I SPLASHED ON MYSELF????

Brenin turns 1

Brenin turned one year old and Lyndsay threw a party for him and his littermates. And various assorted hangers-on.

It was wet. Very wet. Also rainy. But mostly wet.

I AM A WET PUPPY

ME TOO, I AM WET ALSO.
I AM ALSO VERY GOOD, GIVE ME A BISCUIT.

There were hats!

There was cake!

There… was not cake for very long.

Brenin may have got a morsel before Zumba came to clean up. She’s so helpful.

sunbury show

So we went to a dog show at Sunbury on Melbourne Cup day. It was raining.

I stole a puppy.

I pulled a muscle.

Brenin tried to chew on his sister Grace.

So she sat on him.

I don’t understand why she would sit on me. Clearly I am an angel.

You have no proof of the biting… oh, you do? Oh.

Quick, let’s go over here and take a family shot: Ramius, Grace and Brenin.

See, there was this giant burglar man. And I stalked him and I chased him and I brought him down and then I eated him.

This is all that’s left.

Is that another burglar over there? They are DELICIOUS.

ah to be sure, to be sure

Brenin is half-Irish, on his father’s side. We left him for a few hours, with the run of the kitchen and (half-renovated) laundry, to find…

Ah, ’tis a grand pertayto!

This is a great video! Now I have to go find some Ikea and a clicker. And possibly a different dog.
