All part of living with a Newf.

Buckin' up meat for Freddy today. Got him in October and took him off kibble within the week. Always raw fed our dogs, cheaper for sure.

My Buddy loves spending time in the garage or barns whenever I am working on my projects or just chilling out.

After a year of run arounds from the local rescues and basically giving up, my friend and I found a beautiful Husky all the way from Texas. He was 10 days away from getting put down. Thin as a rail from mourning the loss of his family. As you can see, he is fitting it pretty good, even got himself a girlfriend. They run like the wind together. He just about went nuts when he first encountered the snow. The weird thing is, if my neighbour's 2 chickens hadn't gotten loose into my back yard, I never would have called a local rescue to see if they could take them for the night, since I had no clue where they had come from. 2 weeks later he was here. He howls to beat the band. He loves to sleep next to me on the couch and bury his head in my lap. You have to be careful though, any gap in the fence or doorway and its a guaranteed 1hr struggle to get him back, since he's off to the races. Two perfect ice blue eyes. He's a keeper.

Huskies are beautiful dogs and fun to have but man, they are runners if they get the chance.

My dog is nothing special because he’s in-bread.

I would absolutely LOVE to have a Great Dane but though my suburban lot is fairly big its not nearly big enough for one. And the worst of all is that they don't live very long. I've cried like a baby for my last two dogs. They are my dear friends.

All one needs is a couch! I've had 5 over the years, all Service Animals, and all have lived between 13 and 15 years. They start "working" at 2 years and retire at 10/11.


Maybe it's the couch thing?!?

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

Good info. Everything I've ever read says they live like 8-10 years max.

 

[captain14]

She's two.

Whats her specialty as a service dog?

I know all couches need to be protected at all times.

Cooper loves the snow… first real snow of the year Friday, and I was down at the shop today and he and his brother were having fun!
making Dog Angels…

I miss my white GSD. May she rest in peace.

 

[TheShrine]

She is "Balance Dog". I have a spinal cord injury. One of my challenges, other than paralysis (Quadriplegia), is my lack of balance (Ataxia). While she is well trained she also has an innate ability to sense my "straying" as I attempt to walk. Her 145 pounds will quickly bring my gait back on path. On occasion her size and patience will assist me in getting off of the ground/floor. I'm 230 so that's not something she looks forward to!

As for the couches ...I've never had a problem with any damage.

 

[captain14]

I meant she was protecting “her” couches from others.

Sounds like you know Danes. She does have her own couch! It's funny when guest come over and don't know about "her couch". She'll just step up and carefully make it clear where she plans on laying down. They get the picture real quick! She's big but very gentle.

Everyone that ventures over knows we have dogs. Not everyone knows about the rules though. MEAUX usually explains.

 

[BuickFarmer]

This is Elvis, my best friend.

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

Elvis is a great looking pooch. Is he a red coonhound, or a mix with one? Have you had him as a puppy? I ask because someone local was recently selling red coonhound puppies and i don’t know anything about them.

 

[ssffnomad]

Wiley was visiting for a few days. Believe partial Long hair Chihuahua, because sure reminds of of our “Tiger” .
They sure have good manners .
I am basically a big dog ( Lab) guy.
But have rescued a long hair Chihuahua, and close with two others . They are very very good loyal mild pets.
But I been thinking next may be a Cattle Dog .

My 'pet' Sharky I am in the process of returning him to the wild.

Thanks Got him as a puppy, he was a pound hound. He’s 1/2 blue ticK, 1/4 boxer and the rest Madison county mut.

How could it be cheaper?

I go through about $200 of dog food a year. That would buy only about 55lbs of cheap meat.

My dog gets his regular food plus bits of "good" stuff. Like yesterday I cooked hamburger and I mixed in the little bit of grease with his food.

$200 a year ?!! I used to spend about $1200 a year for off-the-shelf food for these two. Now the Rott has an auto-immune condition and needs special venison-based food that costs $286 a month alone.

My new garage dog:


She's about 12 weeks in this pic; now at 5 months, she weighs 60+ lbs.

We lost our other GSD about a year ago to lymphoma...

I buy 2 bags of food and mix them. About 90lbs of food. It lasts 4-5 months.
Purina Pro Plan and I forgot the other. Blue buffalo maybe.
My dog eats about a cup a day or so. He's a vizsla, so a fairly small dog.

 

[Bad Eye Bill]

This is Elvis, my best friend.

Well, he ain't nothin' but a houn' dog!




You've got a good looking friend there.

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

Yeah, but he's rocking all the time!

But seriously, he's a great looking dog!

ANOTHER great looking pooch.

In a few months she'll be able to eat some's face but right now she looks like a baby that might lick your face off instead!
