that's a keeper photo!Photobombed!
The last one must have been pretty smart to get into a University!8mo old bernedoodle, Knoxville. Our oldest left for Univ of Tennessee, so we did the rational thing and got another dog.

Holly was too tired to eat her Dentastix. She took it off me and fell asleep.

Max and Fifi were groomed the day before yesterday. Max felt like posing. Did this maneuver when I pointed the camera at him. At least he was freshly clean and cut. Cute little ****** though he is a mini terrorist.

Yours too, huh?
My Max will nip certain dogs. But it's not reliably big or small dogs, males or females. Pretty random....to me. I'm sure there's a rhyme or reason to him. I haven't figured him out yet. A couple times at the dog park he has nipped a Cane Corso or a Rottweiler and they don't care. But one German Shepherd went back at him hard and he scrammed! He was terrified. But the GSD didn't bite him or hurt him......fortunately!
He's got that old man look to him now. Poor thing is slowly going deaf but still plays like a puppy. His new favorite pastime is barking at the fence, which I find hilarious but others in the same household find irritating. Who's a gooood booooy......................

Then he needs more play and attention. One of the joys of being retired, is that I get to spend more time with my dogs.He's got that old man look to him now.

Lucy can look out of the front window by just resting her chin on the window ledge but she prefers to get the higher view.

We’re away from home on a trip and I MISS my little furballs more than I can say. My sister in law flew in 400 miles to be with them. She will dote on them like I would but they’ll be badly missed. I make up for it by talking to and petting every dog I see! They know “dog people” and love me scratching my the base of their tails, behind their ears, etc. They say, “Thank you” with their eyes and “smiles” The only part of traveling that’s bad.

Thanks to one and all.
After a couple of days where she was really 'out of it' from the anesthesia and pain meds, Penny is back to her rambunctious 9-month old self!
I admit I've thought once or twice about using some of the left over meds. to 'zonk' her out for a break. LOL
I can relate to that.
Cocker Spaniel's can be very clingy and anxious when left alone, which can be tricky at times. Having said that, he has someone around him 95% of the time. He greets me at the door every time I come home from work, I'm told he spent all afternoon today at the door waiting for me. I take him to work sometimes as well.
As you say, they know who "dog people" are. My sister and her partner are not dog people at all, he sort of knows to keep his distance when they are here. I guess that's the same as humans, we know who we should avoid.
I nearly lost him back in 2020 as Covid was starting to take hold. I remember that morning altering our usual routine, we would go for a walk before I popped into town before work. This particular Friday, swapped that around, doing the town run first. While I was out, a family member left the door to the garage open briefly, enough time for him to slip out without being noticed. When I came home to go on that walk, he was nowhere to be seen.
Despite driving around looking, he was nowhere to be seen. I notified the local ranger, which later in the day contacted me to say that he had been seen, a good samariten took the effort to call the ranger. I raced to where he had been seen, but still noting. After hours of looking, I arrived home, jumped in the shower and fell apart. I had held it together all day, but at that moment it all hit me, that I would never see him again. The hardest, most painful feeling was of him being distressed and afraid, I feel emotional typing that.
After getting dressed, a few seconds later the phone rang to say that he had been spotted, another good samarentin this time following him until he crawled into the bushes in someone's front garden. When they called and said the street name and number, it was almost as if someone was watching down on me because it was MY residence. After a day on the run, he had finally found his way home........................only after being hit by a car. The good samaritan had seen him be hit and then followed him home, only to then see me running out the front door in tears, sobbing as I picked him up from behind the hedge. It wouldn't have been nice to watch, let alone being on the other end. I'm not religious, but I fully believe someone was watching over us that day.
He had clearly been swimming in the irrigation channels and had broken one of his hind legs after being hit by a car. By this stage, it was 7pm, I wrapped his leg in a towel to limit the bleeding, then ran to meet the on-call vet. I then played nurse, helping our vet access, x-ray and administer pain relief. Then having to leave him at the vet was excruciating and a relief, he was at least safe now.
He then had to have surgery to pin the break, followed by weeks and weeks of rehabilitation.
To this day, I believe he went missing in an attempt to find me for his walkies. I say all this to urge those with pets to cherish every second you have with them, it can easily slip away.

DFB I can imagine the panic you felt as you took your pup in your arms. The same panic as your pup felt as he was fighting to get home. Bless the person who helped you find him.I can relate to that.

Even from afar it sounds like he was looking for you. Probably became anxious and maybe started running.I can relate to that.

We had a little girl dog we adopted almost by accident. Too long a story but suffice to say for being a truly odd looking dog she was THE sweetest souls I’ve ever known. She has passed away now but we refer to Bella constantly. The first day we had her, a door was left open and she scrammed. Couldn’t find her. We knew she didn’t know our house was now hers. Thought we’d lost her for sure. Next morning the moment the Sun came up she was scratching at the back door. Later I found where she’d dug in under some shrubs and waited out the night.
I miss Bella to this day more than I can say. Rest in Paradise my sweet girl.

Penny likes to cuddle and touch her humans. Here she's sitting on my lap, while I (try to) watch TV.
I hope her several different shades of yellow -> white fur shows up.

My dog has decided he does not like using the outside stairs to "HIS" yard so I got a ramp that even though it has a sandpaper type non slip he must not have liked the way it felt on his feet so I remedied it by gluing down some commercial grade indoor/outdoor carpet tiles. Took some treats to get him used to it. Now it as if he has always been using it.

She looks like our Winnie! We lost her in July 2019; she was 14 years and 2 months+ old. We adopted her when she was about 1.5 years old. Our first lab, and she was a great companion. She was also stubborn as a mule and hard headed as a box of hammers.Penny likes to cuddle and touch her humans. Here she's sitting on my lap, while I (try to) watch TV.

Shot from yesterday was about half an hour before 100% totality here, just starting to get dark. He definitely was acting "weird". All of the neighbors and dozens of guests on the road were out, kids running around. Great scene. We walked over and were chatting with some and the boy was nowhere to be found. Normally he'd be all over the playtime and visiting, chasing tennis balls thrown by kids. A few minutes after the peak, when it started getting bright again, I found him hiding out in the garage. Similar to the way he acts when a major thunderstorm is overhead.

Something small and sqeaky made a sound in the grass.
Couldn't find it.

He got yelled at by the Lady of the Garden for running off after a cat.
He doesn't want to just hang out in the garage now.
I can't blame him. No one wants the Lady of the Garden upset.

It's getting bad folks. Missing my pups so badly on this trip that today I spent five minutes talking to and scratching the head, neck and ears of a donkey. He LOVED it. I doubt he ever gets personal attention. When I had to walk away he "Eyorred" me pretty loudly to come back. Poor guy.

Thanks!
I'm going to spend some serious "on-the-floor" time with them talking and rubbing so they know I truly missed them and am glad to be home with them again. By now they probably think they've been abandoned!
