Let's See Your Garage Dog

[Wiz02]

Hopefully pooch isn't acting like a tape dispenser later....

I sure hope so. I've spent enough at the vet's to endow a new wing.

 

[Zebedeewesty]

All aboard.

 

[Outlawmws]

All aboard.

They don't look to happy, - off to the vet?

No, she’s touching me!

DAD!! I GOTTA GO PEE!!!

Are we there yet?

Got any snacks?

Here's my little criminal. But the "crime" isn't so bad since he never chews the sneakers! He can barely carry them since his legs are only about 3" long. The shoe drags on the ground and he even manages to carry them out the dog door sometimes but he never ever chews them. Only dog I've ever known that DIDN'T chew shoes they stole.

PS: My grandchildren were with us overnight Saturday so the Tonka truck is evidence of our 2 year old little man named "Elder".

Outstanding looking crew. I love Labs and especially love shepherd mixes. To me they are THE "classic dog".

Just off for a walk.

The big golden numpty laid on an adder (the UKs only venomous snake) this morning. Didn't make a sound so he never got bitten. They're just starting to come out of hibernation i think as they're still a bit slow.

 

[pima67]

Maybe he thought the adder was a soft stick?

That's pretty worrisome to know they are coming out and you take your pups on walks. How often do you guys come across one on your walks?

I've only seen a couple in the 3 years we've been down here. Still a pretty rare sight. I'd not seen one in about 35 years before moving down here.
They're not aggressive unless stepped on, though its pretty difficult to see them in the leaf litter and branches.

Most of the time you just see grass snakes.

Pinned down by friendly fuzz.

This is Callie. She is fairly new for us. She rescued me after the loss of my buddy Bella the greyhound. She is still too spooked to come far into the shop, but likes when I sit on the sofa and pet her. She is already a great companion. Dogs make us whole!

I can relate to the "letting sleeping dogs lie". My Fifi has lately decide to put herself to bed alone an hour before we typically go. It's soft, it's warm and it's quiet. What's not to love?!

A dog-related note:
Next door neighbor brought his dog over for us to "sit" on an emergency basis Saturday. He & family would be out, but had concrete being placed and had forgotten to make arrangements. "Marz" is a big standard poodle. My girlfriend opened the door to get mail and he immediately trotted home and of course stepped in the new concrete! Fortunately it was dry enough he only left slight marks on the brush finish. We brought him back - he was NOT amused. Our miniature terrorist, Max didn't like it but didn't start anything. If Marz would pee, Max would pee over it. His territory, he was not tolerating any take over even by a male 10x his size!

The Lady of the Garden's baby has torn his other ACL.
He will be going in for surgery at the end of May.
He's on medication until then.

Roxi on squirrel alert, while we were on a college campus road trip(checking in to a mildly skanky motel).

Dead to the world after a long walk in the bush. He's an old man now, turned 13 a few months ago. But still very puppy like in how he behaves and interacts, which is just so cute.

We've had Holly 3 years today.

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

We've had Holly 3 years today.

Holly is a GREAT looking dog. She reminds me SO much of my childhood dog, "Slipper". I'd wanted a dog for a long time and my parent's finally let me pick a puppy at the local pet store. Then was not like today (I'm 70). People would give their puppies to the pet store so they'd get homes. My parents paid $7.50 for him. 1963 dollars which the internet says is about $78 today - amazing! That was a LOT of money to them. He lived until I was 23 years old so about 16 years. A very long time even now. Rest in paradise my boy, Slipper. I hope to be reunited with him and all my wonderful pups someday.

What a great story!

Missing toddler who walked 7 miles alone through Arizona wilderness led to safety by rancher's dog
The rancher traced the boy’s steps and discovered that Buford, an Anatolian Pyrenees who normally patrols his land and wards off coyotes, had escorted the 2-year-old for at least a mile.

The rancher said the dog had been with the toddler for at least a mile.

Agreed it IS a great story but of courseI have to wonder how the hell a 2 year old is left alone long enough to wander off int the wilderness?

I have 2 year old grandson whom I adore and he's a little dare devil. He'd definitely think he could do anything/go anywhere if he were left alone......so he is never left alone. Parents need to be seriously questioned.

Patiently waiting. Sort of...

 

[Outlawmws]

Patiently waiting.

Patience is when you can set the treat on the dogs nose and shay "Hold it, hold it, and they hold until you say OK!

We could do that with out family dog we had when I was a kid, a Cocker Spanila/mutt mix, and with something as light as Trix, when he got the OK, his muzzle made a quick 360 circle and snapped the piece of cereal. I'm not sure the cereal ever moved!

YES!

 

[Jay__Dub]

I've had about 20 dogs in my lifetime, maybe more. Some would do the treat on the nose trick, but most of 'em wouldn't. I always laughed at the cross eyed look down the nose at the prize.
