Let's See Your Garage Dog

[mrb1]

Sad, sad day around here today. The neighbor had to make the call with their 15y/o blonde Lab "Boomer". They moved in with a couple young kids and got Boomer soon after, 15 years ago. Good Boy has "raised" two great kids over there and was just starting to meet their grand kids. At the time they moved in, we had a black Lab "Buddy". The two of them were best buds for a few years until our Lab headed to the rainbow himself in 2012 I adopted our current black Doberman/Lab mix (in the images here) later in 2012. Our boy and their blonde have been inseparable ever since. I've posted pics of these two before here. Hurts just like one of my own.
First shot is from today when we headed over before the vet arrived. They had one more romp around the yard and field, but ol' Boomer just couldn't manage. Back legs were done. He was doped up good and not in any pain, but ya knew. So did my boy, he knew. The other shots posted are from his daily visits over here every morning looking for his buddy to go play.
Sorry to ramble, but taking a break from working on a little digital memorial for their boy.

@mrb1, something's wrong with my monitor. I'm having a hard time reading and seeing your post.

We added to our pack today.

Meet Apollo. He's another Pyrenees, but he was the runt of the litter. We'll see how big he gets.




Him and Odin saying hi.

Started storming sideways. Possible tornado spotted a mile or so south of me (town proper). Thunderstorms, etc.

So Otis and I stayed inside.

I got him a harness the other day ago and was trying it on him, letting him get comfortable with it on, but left it on in case we had to get gone fast. I’ll be getting him a padded harness. One a bit better. This is so he gets used to wearing one. I can’t use the collar with the leash anymore because he pulls hard sniffing the ground, and he does this spin/flip/pull, to try and slip his collar. He end up choking himself though. Hopefully the harness helps.

Here he is staring towards the front door and the lightening lol.

What a great thread. I've got a couple neighborhood strays who came to live in my garage last year. We brought them in to heal up after being TNR'd (with the intention to turn them loose again) but they decided to turn around and come right back inside. Think they preferred the cushy indoor cat life, haha.

Here's a picture of them I took last night, laying on top of one of my projects. Their expression says "Ace & Sidney are tired of your sh**".




And a bonus picture of Ace helping to plug a nail hole in a tire. He's always ready to lend a hand - er, paw - whenever there's work to do!

I think it’s great when they pick their home. Three years ago a mama cat a two of her kittens were living in our shed, they were gone for a week and one came back and found her way into the house, and never wanted out, why would she, three squares a day plus treats, AC in the summer and heat in winter, not a dumb cat. We had cats long time ago and thought no more at this point but turns out she is the best cat ever.

She liked the bubble wrap the best, left me the rest.

My little buddy Harley is very timid as it took him 5 years to come in the garage but it’s all about when the time is right for him to do things. He has slept with me the day I bought him home. He has so much love to give and every day he gives me hugs. Today he is 7 years old.

I also posted this pic on my Glendora Garage thread.

The pups are there to bark at anything up to and over the horizon that moves including zombies, ghosts, children riding bikes and walkers PARTICULARLY if they are walking a dog! Whew! It's good not to have to worry when my back is turned, ha ha.

Lie in the bed or on a cool mat? Nope, kick it into a pile and lie in the corner instead.

Daisy is going to be 2 years old on September 5th, she sleeps in the bed with us, goes in the pool with us and yes she goes in the shop
With me too

I just came across this picture in my laptop, the picture quality is pretty bad as I just took a picture of my laptop screen. This must be Daisy’ first Christmas. Love this picture

Think its shedding time for Lucy. As its been pretty hot for the past week we've been brushing her coat and managed to remove enough underfur to pack a pillow case. She's a lot less fluffy now, and hopefully cooler.

Cool. Were you living in Hong Kong back in 2018 when these were first published? "The Garage Dogs of Hong Kong". Some great shots in the series.

Marcel Heijnen’s Heartwarming Photographs Of Hong Kong’s “Garage Dogs” – Design You Trust — Design Daily Since 2007

He first brought us the Hong Kong Shop Cats and then the Hong Kong Market Cats, both available as books. Now Dutch photographer Marcel Heijnen is back with Hong

Fifi doing her MOST favorite thing - cool snout air!

I know dogs like to do this, but PLEASE get a restraint for her. Our lab, Winnie, rode in the back seat unrestrained with her head out of the window until one day I had to brake hard and pitched her out the window! She was lucky and only got some scrapes.

That day we got a harness and a strap that attached to the center seat belt. The strap was long enough for her to get her head out the window and comfortably move around in the seat.

Back when I was a kid, our dog launched itself from my mom's lap, out the window, to chase a rabbit. luckily, we were on a dirt road and going slow...

The rabbit got away...

Same dog got thrown out the window the day I rolled my dad's 67 international 4X4 PU. Again, slow on a dirt road, and it was a half roll, side then top. leaving me hanging by the seat belts. The right-side arm of the steering snapped, and that wheel caught the berm on the right shoulder, and it was like kicking the legs out from under a drunk...

I didn't even miss him until he came hobbling back 5 min later. he was bruised a bit and not exactly bouncing around but was OK. he was probably at last 12 when it happened. I was sixteen.

My first dog launched himself from the drivers side window one afternoon a block from home. He wasn’t a car dog. I took him to the vet that day and he got some meds for his hobble. He recovered but still wasn’t a fan of the car until later in life.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

Its a hard life being a dog.

Lucy looks like "I'm SO bored..."
