He's not in the garage, and he doesn't really like hanging out there, but he's my dog! Meet Dylan: half GSD, 3/8 Golden, 1/8 **** hound. Yeah, he's a pur sang dog if ever there was one!

My Wife couldn't stand Junior, God rest his soul, and he couldn't stand her. I guess that's how it works sometimes.This is Duke. He puts up with me and is my garage companion. My wife can't stand him. Sometimes that makes me like him more. He's good with most things that make noise except the grinder. I think it is a combination of the sparks and the noise. When I weld he doesn't seem to mind. He didn't use to like riding in the car but now that I have taken him on several trips from Ohio to Alabama and back I think he has gotten used to it. He runs at the chance not to go for a ride to the local HD.
She bought this collar for him for Christmas one year.
Our Yellow Lab, Winnie, also liked blackberries. I'm not sure she was as discriminating on the ripeness though.

I got to get one of those for Scooby…
He’s a great dog, but sometimes…
Edit: thinking about it, I believe my wife wants to get one for me!

45 years back our Junkyard German Shepherd X Wolf mixes would strip an ear of corn off the plant, pin it down with both paws, rip the husks back with their teeth, and then nibble of the fresh corn kernels, and they would get every one of the kernels too

So crazy hot in LA. My pups are NOT "Labradoodles". They're doodles mixed with whatever breed does NOT like water! They never get in the pool but today was so damn hot I put them in and their paddling rinsed them pretty good and definitely cooled them off.
Fifi (larger, more poodle-ish) got a serious case of the zoomies afterward - even though it was well over 100*. She was dry in 10-15 minutes. Max (the miniature terrorist) HATED getting wet and didn't like her zooming around much either!

This is what food time looks like with these two.....................
Maggie inhales her food in less than 30-seconds, Tilly likes to take her time and needs reassurance before digging in. This is problematic because given the chance, Maggie will hoover up Tilly's food as well. Hence them being separated until Tilly finishes.

No offense to the wife, but she did not know what she was missing with that pup. I love all dogs but GSD's have a special place in my heart, and he looked like a good companion pup.My Wife couldn't stand Junior, God rest his soul, and he couldn't stand her. I guess that's how it works sometimes.

Spent most of the day with my little buddy. First, he came with me to work while a serviced a client's chipper shredder. While I worked, he got to play with my two temporarily adopted golden retrievers. Then we went off to the small engine shop for parts, followed by a trip out to the resource recovery centre to deposit a container of waste oil, then a quick stop at the auto store for some supplies.
After finishing the service, we got back in the car and headed to one of our favorite walking tracks. Being so close to spring, the Wattles are in full bloom.
Being an old man now, he was naturally all tired out after our day out.............................

Skeeter….a fairly new addition to our family. She’ll be a year old on December 8 and we’ve had her about 6 months. We named her Skeeter because when she wants to be, which is most of the time, she can be as aggravating as any mosquito ever thought about being! 
We love her though!

We had a little birthday party for Roxi over the weekend. She is eight years old. She had a burger patty smothered in sour cream, and a pigs ear from the local butcher.
The other photo is from a camping trip two weeks ago a long the Spokane River.

I guess they're literally being kept "at bay" 
20-30 of those nasty creatures kept trying to come ashore right next to our camp. Boy was having no part of it. We left for an hour and came back and they were all around on land. Had to hold him on the long lead and let him force them back into the water. Oh how I wanted to turn him loose Could have had roasted goose breast on the spit.

But I gotta tell you your dog is wicked cool looking in this shot! He kinda looks like a cartoon of a super hero dog. The colors just add to the look. Go Otto GO!

Many years ago I adopted a Norwegian Elkhound from a shelter. His coat was extra thick and full. Vet said he was likely used to living in a very cold climate. He said, "Maybe someone on vacation lost him". Anyway, one day I took him to my local park that had LOTS of ducks on shore. I let him loose thinking he'd just scatter them all to hell.I guess they're literally being kept "at bay"
Instead he ran full speed toward them and just before he got to them he cut one way then circled around the other way til he'd gathered them into a tight group, quacking like crazy and pushed them toward the water. It was SO cool and I would have had no idea whatsoever how to train a dog to do that much less an Elkhound which I NOT a herding dog at all. They're not a "bird dogs" either. He didn't live long. He got ill and passed away about a year later but he was a truly great dog.

I've always read that among other skills that elkhounds were herding dogs. Yours sure sounds like he showed that.
The only place where I've seen any indication was with my first elkhound Tanya. When swimming with another dog she kept circling the other dog & nipping near her cheek, keeping her in the water. The other dog was much larger & not especially fond of swimming.
As for birds, Tanya was the only dog I've ever had that could catch birds. Not sneaky like a cat, but in a full on barking charge. The birds would take flight & Tanya would jump & catch them in the air. She was incredibly fast.

That's every day at my house. As long as they're having fun and not eating the furniture, I'm fine with the mess.Someone has been productive this evening......................
That's my view of it as well. I even feed him political paraphernalia come election time, he seems to enjoy tearing those up as much as I enjoy watching him do it. And doesn't he look pleased with himself.........................
There have been a few casualties over the years though.....................
One night I walked into the kitchen and could hear something in the adjoining living room. I looked down and could see my little black doggie had turned himself into a white little doggie. He had somehow plucked a 1 kg (2.2 pound) bag of flour from the pantry, dragged it onto the living room rug and proceeded to eat said bag of flour. Of course, he had flour all over the carpet and himself. I just wish I had taken a photo because, on reflection, it was quite a funny sight. At the time I was naturally quite annoyed and priority one was getting him out of the way to clean it all up, photos were not top of mind.

Otto is 10 today. Emma is about 10 months.
After doing some yard work I took a little nap only to once again find a missing sandal and a dog with a dirty nose.
Once again I found a buried sandal when he showed me where it was, *******,
I’m still missing a slipper.
