My neighbors have their dogs wearing collars with led lights. Looks really cool at night on a bigger dog.

That'd keep me up for sure. My bed would be like a disco.

Roxi attended my sons cross country meet with me yesterday. She was more interested in the critters than the kids running.

I have a lighted collar for Bear as people are idiots and I want as much visibility as possible at night, Kay I take it off at home, lol.

I hate when people dress up their dogs. Unless it's for my nephew's wedding. Then I'm all for it.

Guarding it and daring you to grab for the end...

She's still not sure how to play as i assume she didn't get a chance in the rescues kennels.
She lets you take toys off herbut then you really have to try to get her to take them again.

Arlo stole her stick.

That must be wicked in the winter.

I took 13 week old Penny to a near-by field, her 1st visit.

She loved it! So many new sounds, sights, and smells!

Part of the field is mowed and part is overgrown with paths through it. I think the local deer population uses it a lot. I did see a doe in a thicket, but Penny is still too close to the ground to be able to see it.

So my garage dog thinks he’s a cat. Climbing on the backs of the couches. At my friends none the less.

Oofta.

Is he part terrier? Little terriers love the back of couches, at least all mine have.

Yes. Beagle and terrier is what I’m told. As far as what kind of terrier, I do not know.

Here's one of my boys "Patch". Patch was originally someone elses dog in our area but they stopped caring for him and his two brothers. They would roam around our rural "neighborhood". I started feeding them but hadn't committed to taking in all three of them full time. Well one Saturday morning I look out the door and there is Patch sitting on our porch. I go out to see him and right away I could tell something was wrong. At first I thought he had been hit by a car, then I realized he had been shot.

Turns out one of my "neighbors" who had cows had seen Patch and his brothers in his field. He claimed the were attacking a cow but I really doubt it as I had just fed the three of them the night before. The ******* shot and killed his brothers and while Patch was shot too he was able to make it the 1/4 mile or so to our house. Took him to the Emergency Vet where they pulled 5 pieces of buckshot out of his two left legs. Both legs were broken from the buckshot as well. Got him home after a few days and nearly $2K.




Within about 10 days he was walking around on the casts. Funniest thing to see him do that. And after about 8 weeks (memory fails me) the casts came off and he was as good as new. Tried to love him a lot to help him with the memory of his brothers. He still gets scared at times. Doesn't like gunshots.

Here he is just recently. He's doing well. Fat and lazy. Still have two other rescue dogs. Lost my beloved Staffy Pit a few years ago. Tearing up now thinking of her. I love my pups more than most people.

My Staffy/Pit "Dutchy" who was also a rescue dog. She had actually belonged to a neighbor where I had lived previously. I could tell they didn't care anything about her. First time I saw her I thought "Whoa, better not get to close to that dog", then I saw her tail wagging and decided to go up to her. She assaulted my face with her tongue. She won me over right then. I had told my neighbor that if they wanted to get rid of her I would take her in. Please let me know. One day she was gone. I asked and they had taken her to the local animal shelter. For whatever reason they had scheduled her to be put down. Thank God I found out and found her before they did that. She was a handful. Super strong, would break the metal ring on leashes, would drag my girlfriend around when she tried to walk her on the leash. Could jump straight up in the air while on all fours, when she was excited. Gentle to kids. I loved her so much.

She had an issue with her ears and I thought that she would lose her hearing, but I found a Vet that was able to perform surgery and remove the masses that had formed in both ear canals. That cost a lot (didn't care). But she was perfectly fine after that. Less than six months later though she had kidney failure and I had to put her to sleep, at my Vet's recommendation. She was only 8 years old. I was there with her when they did it and damnit, that was one of the worst things I ever went through. Worse than when my Dad died. I burst out sobbing in the Vets Office. Crying now thinking about it. My Vet felt so bad she hugged me. Horrible. I know men shouldn't cry like a baby, but I couldn't help it.

Here's my sweet girl. I know I'll see her again on the other side.

 

[Magnum440d100]

Runnin errands, came out and lil man on the dash chewin my hat LMAO.


What a goofball hahahaha

 

[Chris_Hamilton]

Seeing I posted about my dog Patch, you could read about another one of his misadventures here. I'm came very close to losing him. This turned into a really great thread.

I'm just gutted :(

One of my three dogs has been missing for over a day now. He's a fat lazy dog that's rarely ever gone for longer than 30 minutes. Disappeared about 15 minutes before his suppertime yesterday afternoon. His favorite thing is dinner so it doesn't look good. I'm just completely torn up over this...

Yep. Factory Five 65 Roadster. I just put the engine in it last week but I'm still hooking up wires and hoses.

Here's a pre-engine picture.

Compliments on progress and work thus far.

Do you have a ballpark power to weight estimate? She's

Here's my Jasper getting some ideas about my FFR Cobra project....



-Joe

\o/ I can tell when a dog has skills. I wish my dog would take over at the wheel on the long trips. Thanks, that's a funny one

 

[ColorMeOrange]

Well mine is not short on spirit, and she does love to eat.

Can she drive? No but she barks at intruders and occasionally send
one away .

Just back this afternoon from Kernville, CA on the Kern River. My family has been going there for vacations since I was too young to go and I am about to be 69, so since the 1950's! Yada, yada, yada, but Fifi & Max LOVED it. Max is in the truck but too little to be seen in this picture. Can't tell you how much sand they put in the Jeep but oh well. Going to detail it this week before listing it for sale soon.

 

[LeonardY]

I was perusing old pictures.

His look says it all.

 

[PCustoms]

Well not garage this morning, but prepped for a little "field" trip:




Seems he and I have both started getting some gray hairs on the face recently

 

[kacey2]

P. Got the twin of your pup.. great dog.

 

[jaw22w]

We added a new family member a few weeks ago, Lainie. She is a 3-year-old Golden Retriever. Beautiful and well behaved. Cuddly. Obeys basic commands. Great dog. Her previous owners just decided they didn't want her anymore. The story is they paid $6K for her at a pet store. Late 20's-early 30's. They kept her in a cage all day while they were at work! I've had lots of dogs in my 70+ years but never a cage. She is a little overweight because of that. After they dropped her off, it seemed like she expected them back for a couple of days, but that was all the separation anxiety I saw in her. She has adjusted to her new life very well. No cages. She and Barney, my black Lab, are in love with each other. Good thing they're both fixed. Don't know as I have ever seen a Golden Lab!
What's funny is about 2 weeks later, the previous owners must have started feeling a little guilty. They called and wanted to visit Lainie. They came, and I let Lainie out into the yard. She let them pet her for a couple of minutes, then she peed on the guy's foot and ran back up on the porch to be let in the house. I guess she told them. I have no respect for people who can just give up a good dog, either! It says a lot about their character.
This is a forever home.

Not really a shop dog but she is the house dog. Getting on in years at 13 or thereabouts and will venture out to the shop every now and again. She must not like the smell because she will come in and then wait outside until I walk past her. Pretty much blind and deaf now but her sniffer still works pretty good.

My first dog was probably a Golden Lab mix. Just an imagine a black Golden retriever with web feet and the wings(hair) on his legs. and when the sunlight hit him just right on his flanks, you could see the reddish tint.


His mother was a golden, they saw a black dog hanging around and all 12 puppies were black

Golden are great dogs. I’ve had three.

 

[Wiz02]

Still skittish after 5 months of love and care. He's also put on a few pounds but still not ready for the garage yet.

[My Old Tools]

new addition last week

 

[TurnipTruck]

This leaf-eater:



just got added to our existing collection of village rescues:


He is the sharpest and happiest pupper in my experience, even despite the neutering vet giving him (and then both the others) kennel cough.

In four to six weeks we will get the dna results and figure out just what he is.
The big doofus is Staffordshire and husky, and the little b&w girl is Scottish Terrier and husky.

UPDATE:
he is mostly Cocker spaniel/lab/golden/Siberian husky, with a little chihuahua/Pomeranian/st Bernard/wolf.
