Lost my Springer Spaniel Ricky 16 years old due to old age on December 27, 2017. My other 2 dogs a silent Llasha Apso Bo a 7 year old and big mouth Beagle Cooper 7 years old are still with us. On January 26th we rescued a new pup a Tennessee Walker Treeing Coonhound Rambo 4 months old. He is fitting in really well and is a big time my dog.

I had 2 dogs like that. A mother and her son. They were escape artists, and always got out of their yard. They always came over and hung out at my house. They even had their own water and food dishes out front after a while.

The neighbors (friends of mine) finally built an inescapable kennel. I miss those pups coming over. I still go down there to pet them and say hi. Good pups, just they love to RUN!

I have a bed and water for my neighbor buddy. My neighbor's will let me know if they are not going to be home for a while. I end up dog sitting but they are all so well behaved that it's not a chore. Another little buddy came to visit yesterday.

My guard dog that is big and has a mean bark but is scared of little chihuahuas. And give her a 2x4 and she will destroy it in minutes. c7ef409629a60b2839da5321fde82af7.jpg333b8e0ab9adc076faeda6a249a6089c.jpge0bc8b10facc41759e92b869e5fcc06c.jpg

Growing up, one of my neighbors had a HUGE Rottweiler named Montrose. Big, and mean, and just brutal!

One day, the little girl (maybe 5 at the time?) Erin was running down the hill, tripped and fell, and landed right on Montrose. THUD!!!!! Montrose was sleeping. He woke up, lifted his head, looked at Erin as if to say “oh it’s only you” and laid his head back down and went back to sleep.

Rotties are excellent dogs!

when I was a kid in small town in Iowa I was delivering newspapers door to door. One customer had a rottie and it come up charging and barking at me everyday. I always packed dog biscuits for the dogs on my route and he get up to 5 feet of me and sit and bark one time. He give a handshake and I give up a biscuit and pet and deliver the paper. The dog knew me and always greet me that way. Yeah he was mean but to dog biscuits.

Lordy, that's an awesome mix and should keep you endlessly entertained. I do hope you have tall fences and your neighbors don't mind a talkative pup :)

Do have tall fences.. 3 acres all fenced 5 foot chain link.. she does have a voice, but so far quiet outside. She loves to talk and howl while playing with me. Having a great time with her so far. I'm self employed and this time of year most of my time is playing/ working in the shop so having her now is working well.

Recently found out our 7 year old dog is in heart failure and has about a year to live. We are devastated. She's very affectionate and loves everybody -- I have to warn new visitors about her French kissing habit. We're going to give her the best year of her life!

Terribly sorry to hear this. We have a little girl rescue dog that has also been diagnosed with a failing heart. Vet told us from the first symptoms - she would just pass out cold, keel over - they usually live about 6 mo to a year depending how they tolerate meds.

Ours is on three meds 2x daily. A diuretic which can be tough on their kidneys, another makes her heart pump stronger, not sure what the 3rd med does - but they have helped immensely. Other than drinking a lot of water and peeing often she hasn’t had any more fainting episodes.

Once; while adjusting her prescription her body blew up like a balloon retaining water. They kept her 1/2 day, gave her stronger diuretics twice, then had to draw off fluids with a syringe. Changed her dose and she went right back to normal. We love this odd looking little dog because she’s truly a sweetheart. It’s gonna kill my girlfriend when she goes. Best of luck to you.

So very sorry to hear this. My little guy died of a rare cancer. Give her the best year of her life, absolutely,...I gave my little guy anything he wanted. If I was eating filet mignon I gave him some, and home cooked his meals through a canine dietician consult. He ate very well, and I was more than happy to give him the best of the best for all the years of love and friendship he gave me...one of the worse things in life is loosing a furbaby...my heart still aches for him...

Thank you for the kind words. Her symptoms started last month and were some coughing and rapid breathing at night. She had a grade 1 murmur a couple of years ago, but it rapidly changed into an enlarged heart (DCM). We started her on the heart meds plus cough med earlier this week and now she is acting like a normal playful dog.

It appears heart problems are showing up in dogs not historically known for them. Some unconfirmed evidence points to possible nutritional deficiencies in commercial dog food. We are going to give her healthy dog foods and of course, healthy people food in small amounts.

Don't mean to derail this topic with sadness, but to paraphrase George Carlin, "pets are a tragedy waiting to happen". Please continue to post up your happy dog stories.

I lost my faithful shop dog Scooter (yellow Lab) a year and a half ago. He loved hanging out in the garage with me, and was always content to just hang out all day while we were working. (and occasionally be a couch for my niece)

We now have January, (and an earlier post questioned what kind of name Kevin was for a dog? Lol, she was pre-named) who has to go everywhere with me, but is never quite content in the garage, she wants to go on an adventure. This picture was after about 2 hrs working on my boat, she was saying, "please Dad, can we go do something else now? I'm bored!"

She really is an awesome dog though, we fostered her for a local rescue, about a year before Scooter died. He had epilepsy among other health problems. One night shortly after we brought Jan into our house, Scooter had a grand mal seizure. It lasted over 2 minutes, and I was freaking out because January was fighting with me to get near him. she finally slipped her collar, and went right to him, dropped down on the floor with him and laid there with him until he came out of it. She then stayed right by his side until he came out of the post ictal stage (read groggy and disoriented) of his seizure (about 30 minutes some times) licking and comforting him. I decided that night that we were going to keep her. She continued this behavior for every seizure he had, she knew he needed her.

Dogs are Awesome, I like most dogs more than I like most people. I'm sure most of you guys understand.

For 60 years, since I was born, I've never not had at least one dog, until recently when I had to put down Zeke, who was posted earlier. It's been about 2 months, and that was enough.

This is "Kevin' (who names a dog Kevin?). I broke Kevin out of doggy jail this afternoon. He'll be getting a new alias soon enough.

Kevin is now Joe.

Joe has been really good with his recall and staying around, so I've been letting him run loose with me when I plow the driveway. Down and back it's about a 1000' round trip, and it takes 3-4 passes to clean it up. That gives him a great chance to go full bore and burn off some energy. Every time I would stop, though, he'd run up and jump on me. I figured he was just trying to get some attention (or dog treats), but one day I didn't push him off. To my amazement, he crawled up onto the seat and sat there with a 'let's go' attitude. Somebody at some point in his past trained him to ride on the seat of a 4-wheeler. The next day I got the snowmachine out and he was just as comfortable riding on that as he is riding in the truck. Same thing with riding on the tractor, which I think he likes best. He'll crawl up on the floor, sit down, and wait patiently for me to drive 50'. :)

Years ago I took care of a friend's dog that had been trained like that. My friend lived a good ways off the highway in the bush, and having a dog trained to ride instead of running alongside for 40 miles made for a much quicker trip in and out to her homestead.

Great thread!
Here’s my faithful companion of 15 years. He’s a Min-Pin mix with Manchester Terrier. Overall a very active and really smart dog. Made for some interesting episodes through the years. Now that he’s older he’s somewhat calmed down.

When I got him as a pup, i brought him to my job. One of my clients then, the clients daughter more specifically saw him and was playing with him. That day I decided that he was going to be added to our office staff. He’s enjoyed through the years of interacting with our clients. Some of the returning customers, still interact with him till these days. I’d say he’s made a lot sales happen....Especially when mommies and daddies aren’t distracted by their kids....:thumbup:

He loves riding in the car or in the truck, I’ve taken him on 15 hour rides with never a problem. Enjoys kayaking and watching television. :)

Dipshit, if I flick water from my fingertips or even motion toward the garden hose he runs like it's battery acid...

It's been a long winter and he's been wanting to run. I might post some vid later.

This is Copper, my red bone, now and as a pup. Although he isn’t a fan of the garage. Bugs me relentlessly if he doesn’t get his nightly walk though.

No, this is "Cooper"...

Cooper "coop" is just a great name for a dog. Hard consonants and the long "oo" in the middle lets him know he is what the word is referring to.

Cooper the pooper.
