After seeing how the Cat Vomit thread has morphed into a pet thread, I thought it would be nice to have a thread where we could all post pictures and stuff about our furry family members. Extra points are awarded if you can make the post CVO related, but that isn't necessary.
I'll start off with this one of Piglet and Tigger when they were about 8 wks old. (Feb. 2000)

Hi everyone,
Here is a picture of my dog, a Shih Tzu, Miss Shelby.
Don't let the picture fool you. She's a terror.
I love everyone's pet pics!
Take care, Julia

Tell TC he needs to get another Greyhound and name it "Jordan".
I can't show my wife Shug's picture--she'd put our cats out by the street if she thought it meant she could get one.

Greyhounds are wonderful pets. So sweet. If she does decide to get one, adopt a retired greyhound. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

this my first picture, so let's see if it works. This was my best buddy Chopper. He passed recently. I now have him tattoo'd on my leg with my first buddy, a German Shepard named Rocky. If this doesn't post properly, please let me know what I did wrong. Thanks. Hoist!
-
Whoa, it worked. Way too big though??? Hoist1
-
If you resize to 800x600 it will work better. That's OK, one of the awesme mods will get it fixed in mere minutes.
Cheers!

Great idea for a topic. You guys have some wonderful pets. Sadly I lost my best buddy last October. His name was Hooch and he was a Pekapoo. I will try to post a picture when I get home tonight. He wasn't the best looking dog but he was tough as nails for 10 lbs and sometimes thought he was a Rotty. It almost got him killed a couple of times. He made to almost 16 though so he did good. I'm not going to replace him for awhile because I like the freedom of riding away when ever I want to without having to look for a dogsitter. I wouldn't mind a couple of cats but my wife is deathly alergic to them.
Cheers, Moe

And finally, the matriarch of the house Santa Cindy. She's 17 1/2 and still going strong.
-
This is a pic of my favorite pets! ;) It's from a few years ago. Left to right: Pete, Pibbs, Molly and Emily. I had to put Pibbs down at 14, she was a Shep/Lab mix. Glad to report everybody else is doing great!

Ok, two of my best buds. Dizzy when she was still about a year old and Parker when she wasn't even that far along.

I'm not sure she would put up with you callin' her the OL either.
Politically correct term when not referring to her by name, I learned this from the d00derator, would be "wifey". Seems just about as bad to me as OL but wifey sounds so cute I guess. [smiley=huepfenlol2.gif]
It's the "O" in "OL" that can get you in trouble. [smiley=nervous.gif] Along with the fact that some women feel the term describes them as a possession, and well you know how that can go. :o
So "wifey" can insinuate equal, non-possessive, partner and "Momma" is happy, and when "Momma" is happy.... you know the rest of the story. ;) [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

That's something I admire everytime I see a three legged animal or a pet that should be in constant significant discomfort but just keeps right on going. They're smart enough not to dwell on and not worry about the stuff they can't control.

Hey Suzanne,
yes that is what they are......brothers from the same litter. But just like kids from the same womb they are as different in personality as any two pups could be. But they are inseparable. BTW we call them our granddogs since we have no two legged versions (yet).

Yes. He named himself the minute we rescued him. Can you believe he was a throw-away. Someone found him running the streets downtown. Checked all over town and the county. No one claimed him. So we kept him. Best Boxer I've seen next to my Annie Bea. I am 100% convinced she is an angel.
Leaner would be a good name. Or after that curve, bean shaped dance they do when I come home from work......Beaner!

Yes.

Banishiment to the basement is not that tough from what I recall! Now...the fallout shelter would be a different story!
Get well Gretchen.
I admit, it tugged at the heart everytime Gretchen would make her way to the water dish...which seemed like every 15 minutes. Any chance one of those camelback supplies could be fitted? Just kidding...

Q, when we retire and have a bit different travel schedule etc. the boxers may just be too big, how is Diezel in the bark department?
The only experience I recall with that breed was neighbors when i was a kid and their dog was pretty yappy and had little dog syndrome, charged everything, I think it may been the fact he lived with 5 children and discipline was most likely non-existant.

RJ,
Renea and I are thinking about a Boston as well. Something about dogs with floppy flews. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] I've never had a Boston, but I've met plenty, and liked them all. Seem to be great little dogs. I think that if brought up in the same environment you provide for your Boxers, a Boston will be a great dog. Our only concern is we are so smitten with Boxers that we aren't sure we would want to be without them. Oh well. Plenty of time to dwell on the subject. We'll enjoy our Boxers.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Other than Rjob749, I don't know if anyone else in CVO land is blessed with Boxers. Renea and I are, and I'll be first in line to say I thank God for these wonderful creatures everyday. Not long ago, Rjob749 mentioned words to the effect that Boxers aren't for everyone. I agree 100%. They are the #1 rescue breed, because most people do not know what they are getting themselves into when they bring an energetic Boxer into their home. They are quite needy. They need their humans. They need lots of exercise to burn off all that natural energy. They don't do well as outside dogs. Coat is too short to keep them warm in the winter and their square, brachycephalic (smashed in snoot with highly undershot lower jaw) does not permit efficient breathing for body cooling during the summer. We don't consider these faults.
A few minutes ago I got up from my perch on the couch and left my laptop in my seat. When I came back, Springer had laid down on top of my laptop...........obviously upset that I was more interested in spending time with my CVO friends than playing with him. I wouldn't trade moments with my Boxers for anything. Yet another reason I believe there are dogs, and then there are Boxers!! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
-
There you go. Just another "ism" from the boxers.
Our last three boxers are all rescue dogs and most likely all of our next ones will be too. I doubt we'll ever be able to change or downsize although Q makes a good arguement for the downsized version IMHO.
Both of mine came and worked their way under my desk and pushed me out this morning, I hadn't fed them and it was 10 minutes past the normal feeding time. Too funny, who is whose pet, often it seems we are theirs.
I'm sure Bagger would agree that if you are a dog person, a boxer is a great choice, one downside.........they sort of come in pairs. Right now we own two 70 pound lap dogs. ;D

I think it is a breed characteristic.
Renea tried to settle on the couch in our keeping room........and the CVO Boxers wanted their place back. Whose couch is it anyway? When you live with Boxers, especially CVO Boxers, you don't own anything. [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

You got that right Dude. Good thing I love Dogs (especially Milo and Dutch) cause whenever I'm at Beag's house they are in the middle of everything. Only place in Chateau Beagle they don't own is the Master's garage. That's off limits and they know it. [highlight]Do your two compliment each other.[/highlight] If Beag's dogs were mafioso, Milo would be the Capo and Dutch the button man

Henry, I do think people who get Boxers don't always understand what they're bargaining for, as few pet owners seem to do any research on the breed they choose other than how they look. Boxers are great dogs, but are quite active for a large breed, as are many of the dogs bred for hunting/herding/working. The shame of it is that the owners don't do the things necessary to make the dogs good pets and good members of the family, so they end up in adoption or rescue operations where good people like you and Rog give them the kind of homes they need and thrive in. :D Kudos to you and others who give these animals a second chance!! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]
I have the Greyhound, Shug, that I adopted from the local adoption agency for them at the track here in B'ham. Most of these dogs are from 2 to 5 years old when they go up for adoption, as they either didn't make it at the track, or did and at age 4 or 5 "retire". Most people think the breed requires a lot of excercise or might be agressive. Exactly the opposite is true, other than some of them don't do well with cats, or any other small furry animal that runs from them. My little terrier, Nell, has never had a problem with Shug and she's only 11 inches high, but tough as a pine knot. What most people don't realize is that Greyhound are couch potatoes!! 5 minute sprints once a day and they're done. Sweet, intelligent animals, and many are put down every year because people have misconceptions about their needs. If anyone wants a great dog that is clean, has NO odor, immediately trained, and gets along well with almost any other animal, please consider adoption of a Greyhound...they must be house dogs though, as like the Boxers, they cannot tolerate extremes in temperatures. The good thing is that they love their crates!!
Also, I think almost any dog, other than two male Terriers (I had a male Aussie, who was my buddy, and got along with everybody except any other male dog, no matter the size), like having their human families, but also need another dog around, even if not their breed. It just makes them happier, from my experience. Some even bond with cats!
I've really enjoyed this thread, puke and everything.

This is Misty, Deb & Molly at Goldstock 2006 http://www.goldstock2006.org/
Molly is a rescue, 5 homes in the first 11 months of her life, we have had her now for 14 months, going on forever ....
We do Golden Retriever Rescue (http://www.grrinj.org/) and every year all the rescue groups get together for one giant rescue weekend (4 day Labor Day Weekend event), 400 plus dogs with the majority being Golden's all getting together. It is crazy. This is open to anyone.
This year the highlight was musician Tom Corwin reading - promoting his book "Mostly Bob" http://www.mostlybob.com/
That is our Molly resting her head on our Misty at the top of the picture on the Mostly Bob page. This was taken during a publicity photo shoot, trying for as many Golden's with the author as possible. We have one picture with 32 Golden's and no people, quite the feat.
A very touching story of how "change and the power of unconditional love" between man and canine.
If you love animals, especially dogs get this. You'll read this book in a very short time and remember it forever.

This is Carrie, we rescued her at approximately age 7. She was a "forced" surrender. She was being used just as a puppy machine and spent most of her life life in a crate or otherwise confined.
We had her certified as a therapy dog and and her favorite job was kids reading to her at the library.
She could melt anyone's heart.
We had her for 17 wonderful months before we lost her to cancer.

Puddy, our Philly dorm cat. He "lost his home" when our son graduated college, guess who got him

Our first Golden was named Lacey. We thought it would be cute to have "Cagney & Lacey", remember the TV show?
Anyway, bad combo for pet names, Lacey lived to be 11 1/2, and Cagney is expected to live from 75-100 years ........ We can't say Cagney without remembering Lacey.

Porthole, you have some BEAUTIFUL pets!!
I have a friend that rescues animals also. I think she's up to 8 dogs and about 20 cats. She's always trying to find homes for them but keeps them herself if she can't find a good home. Lot's of times they are old and/or sick. Seems like too many times when they are rescued they have disease and don't make it too long in a "good" environment and that's too bad. :(
Anyway, your group is cool! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Hey Buddy! [smiley=drink.gif] There is only one way for man, due to sin....but the bible doesn't give a direct answer on animals. I found this link and thought it did a great job explaining it. Do pets go to Heaven [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Do pets go to Heaven (http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/pets.shtml)
Why shouldn't they? Who are we to say that heaven is only reserved for humans? Isn't the almightly all caring? Aren't we all God's creation? I think it's a little arrogant on our part if we feel that the only way to get to heaven is to be human. Our pet's love for us is unconditional. They don't care if we are fat, ugly, rich, poor, or whatever. If anything they are the pure form of goodness, so they should actually have more rights to heaven than us. Like stated previously. Our pets are not just animals running around the house. They are our babies and we treat them like they are our children. Do pets go to heaven? [smiley=angel.gif] Why not? I think they do. JMHO.
Cheers [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif],

First off Red, I never said heaven is reserved for just humans. God's plan of salvation IS! Personally I believe animals will be in heaven. But it dosen't matter what I think, it only matters what God thinks! The only way we can know what God thinks is to look at his word, the bible. We are all God's creation but not all of God's creation will be in Heaven! My children are my babies and my love is far greater for them over any pet I ever owned. Maybe that's why Jesus came to save Mandkind from his sins. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]

Agree with you 100% John. No question about my love for my bipedal kids far exceeding my love for my quadpedal kidz, but the fact remains.........I do love those Boxers, and when I die, I believe we'll go to heaven together.

Most of you have probably seen this, but I think it is fitting for these past few threads...I know my buddy, Sunny, is waiting for me...
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Terry, I was gonna alude to that in my post earlier today.......but every time I think of that piece I get that friggin' lump in my throat. When Sassy passed away, we received numerous sympathy cards with with the Rainbow Bridge story on them. Anyway, if I die right now, two Boxers and a Beagle are going to cross the Rainbow Bridge with me. God Bless 'em.

My wife gave me this story on a picture frame with a picture of my dog Casey who died 2 years ago. Made me cry. It now sits on my desk. It helps me retain perspective on life.

I assume she is an English Lab, I have recently heard that they are much less hyper and don't put you thru the first 24 months of "lab puppy hell". I adore my lab but he dug and chewed the house apart until he was 2, then poof, he became the best dog I've ever had.

Yes she's an English Black Lab. I think you are right about the difference between the North American strain and the European strain. Ours are much more placid, especially the bitches and far less destructive, though we still have plenty who eat the house before they settle down. I am fortunate in that I work for myself and the dog goes everywhere with me so boredom doesn't tend to set in. Skye is now 18 weeks old and she has not chewed anything in the house bar her toys and a little bit of her bedding. Fingers crossed that she will stay that way.
I read a book at Christmas called "Marley & Me" about an American with an insane Yellow Labrador Dog. It should have been enough to put anyone off having a Labrador for life, but it spurred me and my wife on to get another because of the all the good stuff you get as well. Our last Black Lab was a great dog and it broke our hearts when she passed away.
Anyway here's to another 14 years or so of fun with our new addition.
Cheers,
Nige

Funny you should mention that book, my vet told me to go and get that book right after it came out. I did, then after my wife read it we lent /gave it to about 50 friends that have "Marley's". Every one of them loved the book and helped get them thru the puppy years from hell. Best part is not a single person we know would not give up their Marley's for a million bucks. Heck at this point my wife now knows better than to say "it's me or tham damn dog" because me and Charley would help her pack.

And oh yea, he listened to it on tape. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Marley & Me! Great book.
BTW, I just heard that the people Marley owned have gotten a new "Marley".
I saw a clip from the "dog whisper" Cesar Milan (http://www.dogpsychologycenter.com/) that he was thrilled to be invited the the family of "America's Worst Dog" homestead to meet the family and new canine.

The two in the snow are 3 and 2, the 8 year old stuck her nose out and came back in off the porch, she hit the yard once for a break of about 25 seconds and came immediately back in. The other two would stay out until they were popsicles I think.

Yes he is, very playfull, loyal, smart and hardly ever barks. We get a lot of looks and questions when we're out and about, that's why I mentioned it. Here in the northwest when the snow is flying and he's out, people are like. "Why do you cut your dogs hair that short? or what happened to him?" He hates any type of doggie clothing. If you put a sweater on he just sits there until you take it off. Let's Roll

Yes, we do. He gets dark, like he is in the pic. above. That was taken in the summer months. During the winter he gets a bit lighter, kinda greyish. Like I said, he's the best small dog we've ever had. Agile, great personality, no trips to the gromers, not a big food bill, qiet( but loud if he needs to bark, protective w/ the kids, oh yeah and the poop is small (had to get that in), no huge land mines in the back yard.

Sounds like a great dog...I'm afraid the skeeters in my back yard would have a field day with one of those though, so I'd better stick with the Terriers for a smaller dog. The little Australian Terrier I've had for the last 11 years is also a good size...rambunctious at times, but a sweet dog. And the poop is Tootsie Roll size as well.
The 90lb Greyhound, on the other hand, can lay some nice ones, and the distance they fall does not help matters...fortunately, he NEVER has accidents in the house, and goes well out into the wooded part of my yard to "do his business", so the land mines are kept to a minimum.

I actually started doing this to her when she was much younger. She's amazing calm through the whole ordeal, which takes a day or two to complete as she does tire of it and I give her a break. The photos of the not-so-finished cat can be rretty hilarious because my method is get at whatever you can at the moment. It's a major hack job that slowly gets done.
Right now, its too prickly for her to get very comfortable, so she's still a bit cranky. In a couple of days, she'll shed 5 years and amaze us all how playful she gets. She'll be 18 in July.

Chief, I take mine two boy's Willie and Bobbie to get shaved at least once a year and they come home feeling so much younger too. It is so strange they really like not having all that hair. Our orange and white tabby Persian was acting like he was dying just stayed close to his litter box and food but now he is all over the house again both my cats are 13 years old. I would never shave them myself my cats bite the hand that feeds them just bathing them, I am not sure why they do that. I guess because Dave helps out feeding them so they think they can do with out me.

On a very sad note...while we were in Georgia this past weekend, I got a call from my Niece who cares for my two babies when we are traveling. My Australian Terrier, Nell, has been diabetic for the past two years, and I've been giving her insulin shots twice daily to keep her going...she was 11+ years old...and would have her good days and bad. This weekend her sugar crashed and she had a seizure, so had to be taken to the emergency vet clinic not far from my house. She was semi comatose, but the worst part was the vet discovered a large mass in her abdomen that turned out to have spread to most vital organs...Liver, Pancreas, and Spleen. She did not know she was in the world, or I would have come home immediately, so opted to receive reports from my Niece and the Vet most of the day Sunday. By evening, they had no success in getting her glucose level back up, so I had to make the hard decision while on the phone with the doc Sunday night...my sweet baby girl went quietly to sleep in the arms of my niece a little after 9 PM last night. I had the sad duty of putting her in the ground when we got home this afternoon. She now rests quietly and peacefully alongside my other Aussie, Sunny, who I lost 5 years ago...he helped raise her from a puppy of 11 weeks old, so it is only fitting that she lay next to him under the gentle branches of a dogwood tree on a rise in the back of my yard... :'( :'( :'(
She will be missed...a very special little girl...and a very special place in our hearts...forever...hope to see you again someday, Nell...

Terry I am truly sorry for your loss. I am also a dog lover and I understand the bond one has with their pet. Later,Q

I am sorry to hear of your loss. My Min Daschound is as important to me . So I know how you feel.

We are so terribly sorry for you loss. It is devistating to have to say goodbye to a best friend and family member. Our thoughts are with you. Binx & Hoist
-
Terry - condolences on the loss of your beloved Nell. Aussies are such sweet dogs & highly intuitive.
-
Terry and Suzanne,
I am truly sorry for the both of you. Nell will always be in your hearts. They have the ability to make a their own special place in our lives, their own moods, tempers, quirks, like people but better. The joy that they so freely gave us will always be a precious memory.
Thinking of you both,
Ed

We weep w/ you. So sorry for your very real loss. :(

Thanks guys, and ladies...it helps to know that others understand...

Terry,
So sorry to hear about your loss. Pets are so precious as they give unconditional love..they don't care whether you're rich, poor, ugly, or whatever. They see through all of that and give true unconditional love. It's always hard to lose a loved one like that. They always have a special place in your heart and your memories, and someday, we'll meet up with them again and all cross "Rainbow Bridge" together.
:devil:

Damn Terry. Very sorry man. She was a sweet little girl.
So far how is the Greyhound adjusting to not having the little one around?
-
So sorry Terry. Our condolences to you.
We had to have our Dezeri - 18 years old - assisted to cross over this June - Just before we left for Nelson. She sleeps under a newly planted white Azalea tree. White flowers to match the white tips on her tail, feet and a slash on her face. I have not been able to talk of this before - it has been too painful. When I read about Nell, it brought that pain back in memory. I know you loved your fur kids a lot, it shows. So sorry it happened while you were not home.

Thanks, Don. You are the only person of the group here that got to meet Nell.
Shug is having some minor health issues of his own right now, so it is hard to tell how he is going to fare, but I can tell he is looking for her when he's in the house. Even though she only came up to his elbows, she was female and he deferred to her almost all the time so the pecking order is changing, plus, she was here first, so his social structure has changed dramatically.

What's going on with Shug? TC, I miss Nell and I only met her a couple of days. Unlike The Bird Nell actually liked me. Sat in my lap and farted, kissed, the whole dog deal.
Again, really sorry this had to happen. Even more so that it had to happen while you were away. Whether Nell knew it or not that makes it harder for you.
Tell Shug I'm buying some brave Greyhound dogbones in her honor today and I'll tell my little Greyhound all about him and Nell. At least I will if I can get her to stop playing with her cat long enough to actually pay any attention to me!

He has somehow contracted a couple of forms of parasites...no fleas around, so must be the mosquitos getting him. He was doing much better right before we left for Georgia, but has relapsed, plus the stress with Nell gone is getting to him as well. A trip to the vet is in order today, as is cleaning carpet. I wouldn't be worth much at work today anyhow, so will just take care of work issues from home today while getting everything else taken care of with the emergency vet clinic, telling the ex wife (I regained custody of Nell 6 months or so after we divorced, as she wanted to be back home with her daddy and Shug). The ex is great about helping out with Nell's medical expenses, so I won't have that to worry about. She'll have a good cry too, as she helped raise Nell and talked to me frequently about how she was doing. It's just sad, but this is just part of owning the animals...just have to know they had it made while in my care. Literally part of the family in every way...
Look forward to meeting the Italian version of Shug some day...never met a dog that didn't take a liking to me.

Good luck at the vets Terry. Shug presents a lot of surface area with not a lot protecting hair for a squadron of mosquitos to zero in on. Hope whatever the meds are don't make him feel too much worse before he starts feeling better.
You need not be at all concerned over Dizzy being a buddy either. Dizzy loves everyone. Whether she should or not. She met Ken and Cheri weekend before last and it was like they were long lost best friends. Actually, my dog may be a bit psychotic that way.... :nixweiss:
-
So sorry to hear of your loss, we completely understand what you are going through. It is so very hard to let them go. :(
Shug really needs you right now so get him better.

We thought the same about her. She was impossible to housebreak and we did the whole crate training too. Didn't matter where she was. Think a dog with the bladder control of a puppie, but the bladder bigger than most adult dogs. :o But it was like a switch went off when she was 7 months. She rarely has had an accident since.

Folks,
You guys have all seen my avatar. That's my little buddy, Springer. Springer came to us three years ago this month from a rough first four months of life. He was found running around the streets of Enterprise, AL. Long story short, we got him, and he has lived VERY well since then. He has issues. He trembles when anything or anyone one new comes around him. He wants each day to be just like the day before, and if it isn't, it upsets him, and he retreats to his hidey hole between our bed and the couch in our bedroom. He's a terrific Boxer. Loves to play "catch"..........whatever you got........in the yard, loves to be right next to me in the garage when I'm out there tending to the Harley's, but most of all, he loves being with his humans. He's right here with me right now..........sprawled out on the floor on top of my feet. Renea and I really love this guy. Great Boxer.
Thursday we noticed a mass on Springer's right hock. He's due this month for his annuals, so I took him in yesterday morning. Fine needle aspiration reveals mass cell tumor.
Every last one of our Boxers has had at least one of these. You'd think we'd shrug it off. Nope. Cancer killed Sassy Girl. Annie Bea has had two mass cells cut from her as well as two carcinomas within close proximity of her lymph node on the left side of her neck. The last was three years ago this month.........the very same month we got Springer. According the "specialists" at Auburn, she should be long gone by now..................but she's well on her way to ten years old and despite her back challenges, she still roughs it up with Springer. It can't be shrugged off. You worry. They're family. Just the way it is.
Please keep my boy in your thoughts and prayers as he has surgery on 27 November to excise this cancer. Thanks.
Henry

Will do Henry. We had our poor Dezeri operated on in 2003 - 28 places where they removed lumps - the big one was on the wind pipe, had to be scraped to get the nasty off of it. That surgery was extensive, but she was up in a few hours begging to come back home. I took 15 days off work to be with her as she recuperated. She never wanted to be far from us either. That event, that could have been the put her to sleep event, gave her another four great years.
I know that now there is such a thing as pet insurance, we'd never heard of it before this event. Do you have this for your pets?

We do on Springer. Got it for him the day he came to us. Tried to get it for Annie Bea, but she had already been through one bout, so is not insurable.

Sorry to read of Springer's problem Henry. All my best wishes for effective treatment and a happy dog.
What you wrote jives with what a buddy once told me. He's a vet here and one evening started this litany of what was most common for different types of animals. Don't remember any of it until the end. He said something that "and with Boxers, even if they just have a runny nose, you assume cancer until proven otherwise, it's part of the breed."
Got to be a little scary with those dogs knowing it is so likely. Good luck Springer :2vrolijk_21: .

Well, since little Nell is gone now, and both us and my Greyhound, Shug, are missing her presence in the house so terribly, I decided to begin a search for a new household buddy. I have had two or three dogs around for the last 20+ years...the dogs seem happier with others of their kind, or like Don, another household pet, even if different species. They are social animals, after all, just like us.
Sooooo, in my search, I found this little guy, and knew it was meant to be when I saw his face and name. His name is Rider... :2vrolijk_21:....Redhawk Midnight Rider to be exact. One of my favorite songs by The Allman Brothers is Midnight Rider. He's five months old, so not an itty bitty baby, had all shots, microchipped, and from genetically tested champion parents. The Australian Terrier is not a common breed here in the states, so the only reliable sources are breeders who show their dogs and have limited breeding. Usually, there is a waiting list one has to get on before pups are even born. They are not inexpensive pups for that reason. A great breed though, with a fiesty, sturdy temperment...not frufru dogs at all, and are serious vermin killers. Squirrels, snakes...any small animal is not safe with one of these guys around, unless it is a part of your family.
So I just had to get him...he is from Wyoming, and will be shipped from Denver on November 30th, arriving in Atlanta less than 3 hours later on a direct flight in a conditioned/pressurized cargo area on Frontier Airlines. We are really excited about the new addition, and Shug will have somebody to look after and stop looking around the house for Nell.
Here's a pic of Rider....
-
Congrats Terry on finding a new "baby" for the house. You're like us, we have to have two or three cats in the house all the time...they do keep each other company while we're away.
Cheers :2vrolijk_21:,
:devil:
-
....and, so that I will have two nice dogs to carry me well into retirement, I got his littermate and baby sister. Her name is Tango...full name is Redhawk Tiny Dancer, aka: Tango. They are big buddies, seek each other out to play and sleep, and have been best buds since they were old enough to walk around on their own. This pic was taken a few weeks ago, so she's grown a bit since then, but is a female, so smaller, and slightly smaller in bone structure, like most female dogs.
By the way...both will be neutered/spayed prior to 9 months age. The breeders insist on this for their non show pups...you have to sign a contract and have this done before they will give you the AKC papers for registration.
-
This is a pic of their Dad, Marty. He is from the same bloodline as Sunny, the Aussie I lost over 5 years ago...yet another connection in this relationship. He lives in California.
-
TC, just looking at Rider's picture. That face. Those eyes. That pup is going to be feisty :2vrolijk_21: .
Can just see in his eyes he's already thinking "hmmm, wonder what sleeping Greyhound rear end tastes like?"

Yep, Shug is going to have his hands full with these two running around under his legs...he's got such a sweet nature though, I don't anticipate any problems, once the pecking order is established.
Sunny had that exact same face, and he was all Terrier...scared of nothing, and always "ready to go". Rider looks like he's going to be fearless too...they are tough little dogs.

Thanks, Don. Would love for you to meet Springer. He is a fantastic Boxer.........a real prince!
Sooooooooooooooooooooo........everything else I've written doesn't jive? :huepfenlol2: Don, Renea and I have had at least two Boxers throughout our entire marriage, and I had at least one before. In veterinary circles here in the southeast, Boxers are referred to as "tumor factories." Everything from the benign hystiocytoma to the most malignant form of cancer. Add to the cancers, Boxers have problems with hip dysplasia, cardiomyopathy, and spondylosis. Annie Bea has that. So, "Ever Vigilant" are the Boxer Parent's watchwords.
It is scary, Don, but for us.........Boxers fit. There is no other animal that "does it" for us. Renea and I believe "Boxers are Boxers; not Dogs." So, as with any animal, adoption is a surefire setup for impending heartache. And it does hurt when they leave us............but the time from their arrival to departure is so priceless........and very much a gift. We love 'em.
Thanks again.

Well, today is the day. Springer has surgery this morning to excise the mass cell tumor on his right hock. Since he'll be down, he's having his gums resected (common with Boxers) his teeth cleaned, and his nails ground almost to the quick. He'll be wearing a lampshade for the next week or so while his hock heals. He's gonna be one ticked off pup later this afternoon, I imagine. He's already protesting the breakfast boycott this morning. He ain't happy.
Please keep our CVO Boxer in your thoughts today. He's a great little guy. Thanks.

Henry...I know the surgery will go well, and he'll be back to normal in no time at all. You're right, he's not going to like the lamp shade, but maybe he'll leave the thing alone and you can take it off...it's embarrasing for him. :-[ Let me know how things turn out...

Well, I hate even writing this I am very worried about my cat Bobbie he has lost lot of weight it started with the hair balls. I finnally got that taken care of but he got anorexic . He doesn't like the smell of his food and I have to give him tuna and he only eats a little bit at a time. He is old almost 15yrs but I just don't want to do the tube feeding and IV thing. I just really don't know what to do I am very sad but he isn't crying and he still walks around but he is not the same.

Henry, good luck with Springer's surgery. That lamp shade will make him the life of the party.

Helen,
Get him to the vet. Have them do the blood work and find out what it is.
Kathy
Kathy, I spoke with my vet he has had this most of his life but he most of the time gets better quick with the pills the give him not working yet but he is eating baby food now and drinking more I think he may turn it around I just don't want to put him through the tube feeding and IV"S they would like to do they leave them alone at night I just can't do that. I know this might not make any since to some but I treat him like I would want to be treated he is comfortable and not crying and he seems to be eating so for now I will just keep him home.

Springer is HOME!!!! :cucumber: All went well. He's quite droopy, but he ate his supper and afterward, ventured outside to do his business. The dental and gum work went well. Should have the histopath results for the tumor excision by Friday. We already know it's nasty from the fine needle aspirate, but we don't know exactly what type of cancer it is, which is why we did a histopath. I'm gonna stay home with my little buddy tomorrow just to keep an eye on him. Ditched the lampshade. He hates it, but he'll have to wear it at night at least. Here's a picture of him I took a few minutes ago. He's lounging on the couch with his lambie blanket.

Here's a picture of the excision site. Can't believe the vet put pink stitches in my boy. He gets those out in 10 days. Just gonna leave him be and let him rest. Such a great Boxer.

Henry, I was thinking about y'all yesterday ... remembered the surgery was going to be on the 27th. Looks like he's relaxing. Sure hope all goes well.

Hi Suzanne, Thanks so much. He's doing very well this morning. He ate his breakfast and went outside to make sure all is right in his world, then came back in. Annie Bea is like a mother hen...........always checking on him. He's still kindy loopy, but is getting his bounce back. No limping. I imagine that wound is gonna start itching, and that's when the lampshade will go on whether he likes it or not.

YAY!!!! He looks so relaxed! He knows daddy is taking good care of him! AAWWWW so glad to hear that all went well Henry. Was keeping Springer in my thoughts and prayers yesterday big time. Wasn't sure if he was gonna be able to come home or be kept overnight. Here's hoping the histopath has the best news possible! Give that pupster a bit bunch of loving from his new best buddy :P

Thanks, Cheri. That little guy ROCKS! All Boxers are fantastic, but Springer is right up there with his sister.............who happens to be the very Best Boxer in the world, by the way. Duly Loved. :2vrolijk_21:

Henry,
I misseed this earlier. Glad to here your pal is doing good. I gre up with Boxers and agree they are some of the best dogs to have. We've since moved to reduced-maintenance felines, but would love to get another Boxer someday.
Best of luck to Springer.

Well it sounds like he is getting the best care he can get - home with Mommy! As long as he is eating something, I wouldn't want to put him through IVs and feeding tubes either - yuck!
I may have to break down and take one of my cats to the vet. She keeps pulling her hair out on the back end. I know it is allergies of some kind but I don't know from what. I've changed the cat food to Duck and Pea and she will only eat that if I mix in some canned food. I am mixing it with beef canned food - no chicken. I've taken away the milk too - she really hates that. This has been going on for a while now. I've taken her to the vet before for it but they just gave her a shot that stopped her from being itchy for about 2 weeks - they said it was an allergy to something too. I read that most allergies in cats comes from food and to feed them something other than the normal stuff so I found this Duck/Pea mixture.

They are AWESOME dogs and thank you so much for sharing them. I tend to have puppy withdrawals from my babies on a road trip ya know!
I knew they had the best home ever when I offered to trade the bike for the dogs and got a resounding NO WAY from all of ya! :P
Ken had all kinda possible scenarios for rides on our way back to the Clinton Inn! (is that kinda like sugar plums dancing in your head at Christmas??) :huepfenlol2:
You have a great home and family. Yeah, the garage ain't too shabby either (do you know how much pressure I'm getting from Ken to have our garage be more like Henry's garage now??) :nixweiss:
I STILL ain't gonna shine the g/fs' (yes, that IS plural now) chrome. PPPFFFTTTTTT!!

Henry,
I'm glad to hear that Springer is doing well after the surgery. We are thinking about you guys. He is one beautiful pup that is for sure!!

As I have said before we're on our 5th boxer now with Harley and Annie is getting up in years (10.5).
We too have had our share of breed issues and dealt with cancer in the older dogs. Let's pray Springer beats it this round.
We have neighbors at the new joint that have 2 boxers as well, I need to get a pic of the four of them but we went for a walk this past weekend and got the dogs acquainted. It doesn't take boxers too long to be friends, kind of luck CVOers that way :bananarock:

Hi Kathy. Thank you so much. Springer is quite the gentleman. Yep, Boxers are tumor factories. The Boxer parent is constantly looking for whatever may happen when it comes to cancer. The two we have now and our dearly departed Sassy Girl have all had some form of cancer. Sassy had a slew of hystiocytomas excised, and cancer eventually killed her just before her eigth birthday. Annie Bea has had a few hystios, two mass cells and two carcinomas removed. 3 years ago this month a veterinary oncologist at Auburn gave her no more than six months...................wait, she just flew around the yard at light speed. Not bad for a 9.5 year old who has survived cancer within close proximity to her lymph system, who has arthritis, and who is very sensitive to what she eats. Lotsa love and vigilant care, but they return everything.........................tenfold and better.

Get this thing OFF OF ME RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!
He HATES it, but there's not much we can do about that. Without it, he'll worry over his incision, possibility rip out the stitches..........and nothing good will come from that. He hates wearing it, pants, trembles, paws at it, it gets caught on everything, and when it does he wigs out. I could just stay home until he heals...........but that isn't feasable. It is likely he'll spend the next few working days in daycare, since this lampshade thing is breaking my heart..........
-
Henry, why does the wound site have to stay exposed? Could it be wrapped instead?
-
Get this thing OFF OF ME RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!
Those things never worked with either of mine that have had it. When Annie had acl surgery she had big stitches too and we ultimately wrapped it in some gauze and taped it. She left that alone much better and then we just kept it out to air when home. Worked out fine.
-
Henry, why does the wound site have to stay exposed? Could it be wrapped instead?
Vet gave him back to us like that. He says Springer will remove the bandage............and he will. He isn't doing anything other than licking the wound site..........right now..............but I fear he may gnaw the stitches out, and the wound is about two inches long due to the very wide margins, which were taken during the tumor excision. The wound isn't draining, and looks really good. Need to keep it that way. Never mind the mess. I can clean that up. It's the possible blood loss, infection....................................................don't want to think about it. Boxer daycare for the rest of the week for Mr. Springer.
-
The garage and my study are the only two spots in my house that a truly mine, so I keep 'em the way I want. Well...........I 'spose you could help him. ;D Nah.............let him do it. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Well, I suppose I should be honored he "let's" me park my SUV in "his" garage then?? :huepfenlol2:
Help him?? He's fixing to put an intercom system in there since he spends so much time out there. He asked if I knew the one more thing he needed. (minds out of the gutter people) as he was lovingly admiring the "g/fs", ONE more bike. I said...uuhhh... a divorce?? :P :huepfenlol2: I think he's about as rurnt as yer boxers Henry!!
-
They are masters of shredding and working that stuff off, but with a good tape job over gauze they have a tough time getting the right angle on it, Annie mostly left hers alone after some correction from us verbally.
Maybe try spraying apple bitter on the tape too. You'll figure it out anyway, not sure wwhy we're all specualting, good luck at daycare.
-
Very true, not many dogs are more people oriented than a boxer.
Except maybe these!!! On a serious note I've spent a little time training and working with dogs and it has been my experience that if you can up the excercise enough to tire him he will be less occupied with his battle wound. ( I know, I know, easier said than done) Just my .02 :nixweiss:

WOW! Great lookin' Rotts. Those guys are awesome............BIG..............but awesome. I'd love to go outside and play catch with Springer, and trust me, he wants to do that too, but doctors orders mandate light duty until the stitches come out. Right now, he's being really good..........but he also knows that Dad has independently articulating eyes with one on him at all times. ;D Further, his sister is pretty good about narcin' on him if he gets into mischief.

Thanks. Even if you are able to just put him on a lead and walk him, his sniffer alone will help reduce his stress. I'm not sure what his restrictions are though. Hope he gets well soon, I too have been thru the cancer scare with a previous Rott and know its just as stressful for you as him. Good luck to you both. :2vrolijk_21:

Thank you very much. We'll likely go for a walk this afternoon. He is lead trained and knows that once he hears the snapring on his collar, it's time for business. He isn't limping, and the wound isn't draining............just don't want to mess anything up. It is just above his hock, and that's a very flexible area. We'll keep an eye on it. I hate it that we have to deal with cancer, but.......we deal with it. It is what it is. Having Boxers makes our home complete.

Nice dogs Talon! The first pic was titled "Vicki and Talon", that's why the wise-assed comment. ???
My Rottie, Chopper, passed a few years ago. But he's tattoo'd on my right leg so I can still walk him daily. I still miss my big ole mookity mook! The other dog was my Shepherd, Rocky. :(

Yea, the three rotties are mine, my sons, and one of his friends, all from the same litter, the one with the wife is my older daughters, named Talon. we have had Rotties since 1981. We also have two scotties! So I have three dogs in my house. Whats That old redneck joke, if there are more dogs in your house than people your a redneck!

The Scotties.
Now that's a busy house!!

One of those Scotties has got to be female? Male Terriers don't typically do well with another male Terrier. Very nice dogs...all of them!!
-
Man, I can hardly handle the one dog we have and she's 13+ yrs old, no way could I do three. They are all beautiful dogs though. You all should be very proud parents.

The terriers rule the house. When the other dogs are over the chase the others around, and steal all their toys. Thia was a toy horse that was on the grandkids swing that broke, I took it off and the dogs thought it was a toy!

Not sure about three, yes I am NOT.
But two are easier than one, I do know that. They take care of a lot of the energy from each other and burn it off playing and sleeping.

Springer is doing great. Dropped him off at Boxer daycare this morning. Whenever we board the Boxers, we take them to a vet in south Huntsville. Their boarding facilities are so nice............and quiet, without all that barking one usually experiences. They have themed suites, and Annie Bea and Springer really like it there. We'd like to do all their vet care at that place..............and we may yet go that route, but it is quite a long way (20 miles) from our home. Fortunately it's close to Redstone Arsenal. Anyway, the vet tech mentioned that Springer tried to pay too much attention to his incision, so they put a bandage on it, and he left it alone. Still, it eased my mind knowing someone was looking after him, which made work alot more tolerable. He's at home right now. He's in my study with me. He'll go back to daycare tomorrow, and we might put him in daycare next week until his stitches come out. He's getting his bounce back. Thanks for asking.

Your welcome, got a soft spot for man's best friend. If you have your vets clearance, try to exploit his need to be curious a little more while he's healing!! Thier sniffer records an immeasurable amount of data that can be very distracting. Good Luck!!!

Ok, here's my two weird pets. I've got two cats, but one is eating dinner and this cat named Spice, is catching a nap with his favorite lab, Ebony. By the way the cat is 32lbs plus and takes $hit from no dog in the neighborhood. Several have found out the hard way. :huepfenlol2:

You guys say a little doggie prayer for my buddy Shug (my Greyhound)... :'( :'( This all started back just before MV...one night he lost control/balance of the rear of his body, and was falling into stuff for an hour or so. Took him to the vet the next day, and couldn't find anything wrong with him other than his ears were a little dirty, so gave him antibiotics for that. He then got diarrhea, so back to the vet...said the meds might have caused the problem, so put him on a bland diet, with some more meds aimed at his intestinal tract. Didn't help. Went back, and found he had whipworms and hookworms, so medicated him for that. He got to feeling a little better, then relapsed, so another round of meds for the worms. It's now just before the North Georgia trip, during which Nell (my 11 year old Aussie) had a seizure, went into a near diabetic coma (she was on insulin twice a day), found a tumor, and had to put her down. Many tears shed, and Shug was very upset over all of that...still had diarrhea. Still eating well and drinking water. Back to the vet for some more meds, holistic intestinal tract treatment. Did not work. Meanwhile, he's losing weight and getting depressed...you can see it in his eyes. So, since my niece works for a large group of vets here, took him there Tuesday. Still had the whipworms...must have gotten reinfected with the eggs somehow...so another round of meds and more bland I/D canned food. He's down from 90 lbs to 70 at this point, and is showing signs of dehydration...stops eating. Gave him a subcutaneous injection of fluids. I tried everything...his favorite treats, three kinds of food. Keep in mind, this is a dog who would nearly knock you down for his breakfast and supper every day. I even cooked him some chicken breasts and white rice...he ate a small handfull of chicken, and only if I fed it to him by hand.
Meanwhile, I've made arrangements (back a couple of weeks ago) to get the two puppies...to have them for us, but also to get Shug some company again, as it was obvious part of the problem was him losing his little buddy, Nell. This morning, I took Shug back to the new vet, desperate for them to get his fluids back up and force feed him, if necessary, while doing more tests to see what is causing the as yet unchecked intestinal problems. He got IV fluids all day, and I thought it best to leave him at the vet, since the new pups have arrived. I've scrubbed the porch/deck with Lysol, washed all bedding, toys, cleaned carpets...everything but nuke the backyard. More extensive blood work is being conducted to see if his pancreas is functioning properly (initial tests proved that it was), getting his fluids back up, and feeding him whatever he will eat. More fluids tomorrow, and hopefully some better news by tomorrow afternoon. He lost 7 more pounds since Tuesday!! I'm afraid I'm going to lose him to whatever the f#@K has gotten hold of his gut. These vets are some of the best in B'ham (including my old vet of 20 years), and they are stumped. Can only treat the symtoms, you know. Next step if the blood comes back negative (no bacterial infection, and pancreas/liver functions seem normal...protein is low, but what do you expect?), is sonar to see if there's anything in there. My gut feeling is that his system is so screwed up at this point, he's lost all the good bacteria that's supposed to be there...vets are taking radical steps to slow his digestive tract down, as everything is just running through him like a dose of salts. Poor guy...it's killing me. I've been up at least two times every night with him for the past three weeks, so I'm lacking sleep myself, but he has to go during the middle of the night, and all I can do is listen to what's going on out in the yard when he goes to the bathroom, and it ain't a good sound.
My niece spent some time with Shug this afternoon, and assures me they are doing everything possible...there are six vets at this clinic, so lots of expertise to draw on.
So, ya'll wish me luck, and pull for Shug to make it through this and get his strength back so he can bond with the new members of the family. I have been assured by the vets that whatever it is, there is no danger of the pups catching it (not viral), unless they get the whips from the yard. Leaves have covered most of the areas Shug uses, so hopefully that won't happen.
On a bright note, the new Aussies are awesome!! Wide ass open, and beautiful puppies of 5 months. Littermates, and Tango (the female) will probably end up a show dog...that's another story though. Rider, the male (soon to be neutered), reminds me so much of my first Aussie, Sundancer (Sunny), he's got to be the reincarnate. There's a lot of common ancestry, so he's got Sunny's sweet but tough as a pine knot, spirit. And Tango, the female, takes no chit from Rider...she's a fiesty little girl. Pictures will follow this weekend sometime...

Crap. Hate reading all that is happening with poor Shug. Feeling bad that long and still no firm handle on what it is or getting it better. TC, hope this latest session at the vets helps him turn the corner back toward wellness. There's not much that looks sadder than face of a friendly dog that feels bad. They don't understand what's going on and why we can't make it better. Always makes me sad.
Good luck with Shug at the vets. Write more after he comes home this weekend. Get a little rest yourself.

Thanks, Don...you met Shug, so you know the light in his eyes, and throughout all of this, he's not lost that until this latest slide back. Sticks to me like glue since Nell left us though, so that is part of it. There's a lot more going on upstairs in these guys than a lot of people give them credit for. Main thing now is to get him hydrated and get as many calories in him as quickly as possible. Will update as the weekend progresses.
-
Terry, sorry to hear about Shug, I hadn't realized he'd been sick too. I hope everything's ok with him and he'll feel better soon. He'll need to be at his best with the new kids around! ;D Looking forward to seeing the pics of the new kids.

Terry, Renea and I are sending huge Greyhound vibes for Shug. He's a great boy, and he has an awesome family. If you guys need anything, just give us a call.
And as for the new pupz, I imagine you and Suzanne have your hands full trying to keep up with them. It's been awhile since we've heard the sound of puppy paws scampering around the house...............and then the sound of yellow water rapids pooling on the floor ;D ..............but puppies are such a joy. Enjoy 'em. You guys are always in our thoughts.

I truly hope Shug pulls through I myself am still trying really hard to bring my Bobbie back I know what you are talking about in the eyes for a minute lasr night I saw the old Bobbie looking at Dave wanting his cereal bowl Dave gave him hte last few drops he like it and he is drinking on his own now and he has also ate some of his food I am doing the baby food most of the time though. I am pulling for Shug and I know some people don't think animals should be prayed for but I sure do so I will pray for Shug also. I can hardly believe all the sick animals but I guess it is becasuse we have such a large family so more to worry over.

Thanks Henry/Helen...hope to hear some good news today from the vet about Shug. My niece is working there today, so he'll be in good hands, and we'll see if we can bring him home this evening. Having the new pups around might be good therapy for him, and put a little spark in him.
Hope Bobbie gets to feeling better!
Springer seems to be doing fine and not bothering his leg, so he'll be back to normal very soon.
The pups are something else!! They have every toy in the doggie toy basket dragged out in the den and are of course always wanting the same toy, just 'cause the other one has it. Potty training is going well thus far, but the back yard is big and new to them, so they won't get far from me or Suzanne. Since they are not little bitty, they have some control now, so are doing fine. They are jumping jacks!! Like they've got springs on their feet. Fearless, and solid as two concrete blocks.

Springerrrrrrrrrrr!
Vet called yesterday with Springer's histopathology results. Low grade mass cell tumor. Margins were large and clean. Tumor was in close proximity to the lymph node in the hock region, but there was no evidence of nastiness in that area. It may or may not rear it's ugly head again. We know lymph systems from years gone by, and both Boxers get a good once over every day. Ever Vigilant!!! Stitches out next Friday.
Springer is pretty much............Springer. Doesn't appear to be letting his wound bother him too much. Not paying it any mind lately. Right now he is do a really good impression of a couch slouch. ;D

awesome news Henry!
My Lab, Lucy was spayed Wednesday. She's torn the lampshade up and we have it secured with duct tape now, makin her into a redneck dog....... It's gotta hold for another 10 days until the stitches come out. Good thing I bought the good stuff.....

Here's a few pics of the new Australian Terrier pups...5 months old, so the feathering on the legs and around the neck, plus the topknot is not in yet. They are currently about as big as they will get...may grow another 1/2" tall, and put on 2 or 3 more pounds each.
Here's Rider (Midnight Rider)
-
Tango (Tiny Dancer)
-
Rider messing around in the back yard...checking out the kennel they'll spend some time in while we're at work and weather permitting.
-
Tango exploring the leaves...
-
These guys are littermates, so stick together all the time, and when they play, it is serious business...Tango is a ball of fire. I think she thinks she can take Rider, but he's bigger/stronger, so there will be a time when he lets her know that. She is the more vocal of the two as well, though these dogs are not yappy at all.
-
What's in this hole?
-
Flying through the dwarf bamboo in the backyard...
-
Rider...
-
Walking a dead tree laying in the yard...most of my back yard is "natural", so they are having a big time exploring the 1/2 acre plus that is fenced.
-
When Shug gets feeling better he's going to have a rude awakening :drink: .
-
Last one of the dogs...
-
Still a little color left on the Japanese Maples...Most of the leaves are down now, but there's a few left on some of the Sweet Gums and these.
-
Last one...this is the same specie of tree, but depending on how much light they get, they range from this color to the orange/red of the prior one.
-
When Shug gets feeling better he's going to have a rude awakening :drink: .
Yep, he'll never know what hit him, though when he's feeling good, they'll be going "what was that streak that just went by?"
He's still at the vet, rehydrated, and beginning to eat some again. I'm headed over in a little while to visit...Nice thing about this clinic is they are open on Sunday afternoons.

Hi Suzanne, Thanks so much. He's doing very well this morning. He ate his breakfast and went outside to make sure all is right in his world, then came back in. Annie Bea is like a mother hen...........always checking on him. He's still kindy loopy, but is getting his bounce back. No limping. I imagine that wound is gonna start itching, and that's when the lampshade will go on whether he likes it or not.
I haven't been on the site in a few days and am catching up. So glad that Springer is feeling better. :2vrolijk_21: Annie Bea, keep up the mothering.

We are enjoying the new puppies SO much! :2vrolijk_21: We went shopping at the pet store yesterday afternoon and it was fun shopping for toys and treats. :) They are both full of pi$$ and vinegar, especially the female. SO cute and lots of company. :2vrolijk_21:

Got to go see Shug this afternoon...they have an IV taped to his leg to give him the fluids, so he had a clear lamp shade on to keep from licking that. He was glad to see me, and I got to take him out to their play area outside and spend a little time with him. He is feeling much better!! Got a little sparkle in his eyes, is almost fully hydrated, they gave him 1/2 can of food yesterday which he gobbled down, had a bit easier time with it coming out the other end yesterday. Ate this morning, and not gone again as of 4 PM, which is a good sign that things have slowed down in his digestion a bit. They are feeding small quatities to ensure he keeps it down. He ate while I was there, and did so like he used to, so things are looking better. Waiting on the blood work to come back from Texas, and he's not back yet, so he's going to spend a couple of more days there. He was much more perky today though, so things are looking up...hope he can process the little bit of calories he's getting now.

That's wonderful Terry. Great to hear the Greyhound is finally feeling better. He doesn't understand you coming and going like that but it sounds like he's getting great care now. Hope you have him home, happy and playing again very soon.

Boy, I wish that I was responsible enough to have a CVO Dog. But alas-----------I am not.
I do however have a CVO CAT. Purebred Black Cat. And his name is Red. Check him ou he is one Badass.

Hows he like the bandana around him :nixweiss:

Harley and Annie's Great Adventure
As many of you know I built a house in the mountains and have been spending weekends there.
On Saturday we decided to run to town (5 miles) for some shopping and to pick up my venison from the butcher.
We left the dogs in their kennel area (laundry room slash dog run) and off we went. The truck was outside the garage we piled in and off we went. We spent a couple of hours running the errands and then returned to the house.
It had been snowing all day and we got a few inches while we were gone.
Nearing the house Cindy specualted that the dogs would be in the house at large or the garage since we have lever handled doors and "Harley" the smart SOB is a master escape artist. We chuckled about it until we hit the driveway and saw the garage door was left open on our departure.
Yep, no dogs, Harley and Annie were on the lamb. Crap, the chinese fire drill commeced. Check the house in case they were there, NOT. OK start tracking, pretty easy in the snow, I followed the meanderings of the two dogs all over the property but they always returned to the perimeter of the house. I worked my way around it eventually surmising they must have gone down the driveway.
Imagine our panic (bad dog parents) thining of the two convicts escaped into the winter cold of 20 degrees, unfamiliar with the surroundings, hungry coyotes prowling the night woods, oh yeah, Cindy had all the scenarios going through her head.
In the meantime we have called security, the clubhouse, the neighbors across the fairway who have two boxers along with constantly calling the dogs anmes and whistling.
After what seemed like an etenity (15 minutes) we decided to mount up and hit the roads calling and driving to look for them. Cindy needed to go in and get her cell phone.
She entered through the open garage door to be greeted by Annie coming out of the house. I saw her and went to the door and called for Harley, sure enough here he came.
About that time my phone rang and it was security calling to say they saw the dogs in our driveway. Wow, that was pretty good, they were out driving around looking for the dogs and in fact when we heard from the neighbor across the fairway, security had been there to tell them about the missing pair of convicts.
A happy ending to and adventurous day for the two boxers. Needless to say, they had such an exciting time when I got up this morning nearly 72 hours later they were still snoozing and had little interest in food or water.
No telling how long they were out there, but it must have been awhile.

BIG adventure for your two "kids"!! But it's not at all funny at the time, when you're in sheer panic mode, dry mouth, lump in your throat, and thinking the absolute worst. Glad things turned out well, and the Boxers got to do a little exploration with no harm to themselves. Bet that won't happen again... ;)

Not only will we remember to close the door to the garage, we are doing key padded deadbolts on the doors that would let them out of the kennel area.
Geez, but I do think they had a great time. Fortunately the few times we had them over there we had taken walks to familiarize them with the way home and around. The three feet of snow didn't hurt either, they aren't really snow dogs so I think their adventures kept them mostly to the plowed roads.

What is the latest on Shug and Springer?

What is the latest on Shug and Springer?
Kathy...you are a dear for asking... :) Unfortunately, I'm sorry to say that Shug has stayed in the hospital/vet since I took him in last Friday AM. Although he is eating, he has lost nearly 30 lbs since this began. What we do know at this point is that the problem is the small intestine...blood work came back OK, B-12 is lacking, so that is being given now. Bacterial overgrowth has been curtailed through meds. IV hydration was successful, but now he's off that and is having to drink a TON of water just to stay hydrated. His quality of life is degrading rapidly...he has not been suffering with any pain or anything, but he is literally skin and bone. The only diagnostics left to try are invasive ones, and at this point I don't think it would do any good but confirm what I already know in the back of my mind, but do not want to think about. I have a practical side to me, and also have limits financially, which I have already exceeded, so I cannot keep doing things for more than a couple of days longer, if that long.
I would never had set the wheels in motion to get the new pups had I known this was going to drag on...just assumed it would long since be cured, and the other dogs around would actually make him feel better, as he missed Nell. Now, he's not even well enough to come home and meet his new buddies.
It's cold here now (for us), so Shug cannot stay outside all day any longer while he is having these episodes, and being inside is not an option for obvious reasons. The poor guy is embarrassed by the whole thing, even though I have never fussed at him...this dog NEVER, EVER had accidents in the house. Quality of his life, and of his environment, must be considered. A very hard decision will have to be made by me tomorrow if things do not improve... :bigcry: :bigcry: Breaks my heart just thinking about it...
TREAT ME KINDLY
Treat me kindly, my beloved friend,
For no heart in all the world is more
grateful for kindness than the loving
heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick,
For though I should lick your hand
between blows, your patience and
understanding will more quickly
teach me the things you would
have me learn.
Speak to me often, For your voice is
the world's sweetest music, as you must
know by the fierce wagging of my tail
when your footsteps fall upon my ears.
Please take me inside when it is cold
and wet, For I am a domesticated
animal, no longer accustomed to the
bitter elements. I ask no greater glory
than the privilege of sitting at your
feet beside the hearth.
Keep my pan filled with water, for I
cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food that I may stay well,
to romp and play and do your bidding,
to walk by your side, and stand ready,
willing and able to protect you with
my life, should your life be in danger.
And, my friend, when I am very old, and
I no longer enjoy good health, hearing
and good sight, do not make heroic
efforts to keep me going.
I am not having fun. Please see that my
trusting life is taken gently. I shall
leave this earth knowing with the last
breath I drew, that my fate was always
safest in your hand.
--- By Beth Norman Harris 1968 ---

My heart goes out to you as tears sting my eyes Terry. If Shug isn't gonna make it, may it be swift and painless to Shug and you as well. Continued prayers for her to bounce back as a miracle regardless!! *HUGS*

Hi TC,
I have a Rott who had some serious plumbing problems that were volcanic in nature. My vet sent me to Cornell University in Ithica NY which is a renowned vet school in an attempt to find his problem. They did several tests which included a scope which revealed what they termed an "intestinal disease". We thought we too were going to lose him but the hot shots at Cornell were able to save him. If you PM me with your email I will scan and send you the medicals from the college in the event it may help.
Anyway, I'm real sorry to hear about your pooch. Try to keep your head up.

I'm sorry to hear that Shug isn't getting better. I thought after reading about your weekend visit things were looking up. I heard differently after Ilene talked to Suzanne. I'm really sorry buddy, I know it's killing you.

My Dachshund of 14 yrs recently died in my arms. Your poem brought a tear to my eye. Bless you and your dog.

Shortly we will be where you are w/ our Goldie. We're so sorry for your collective suffering and wish only the best for you and yours. We all know that eventually we heal but it sure sucks getting there.

Hey Terry, I'm so sorry to hear about Shug. As I got caught up on this thread it brought back memories of my ole buddy ole pal "Bear". It just hurts me to think what your going thru. Bless ya Bro!

Terry & Suzanne,
Very, very sorry to read about your Shug. We went through this twice last year, and frankly, it still tears me up. Saw a cute little King Charles Spaniel at the Techmount place today and it reminded me of my beloved brit, even though it looked nothing like him. The mannerisms I suppose. Not anything anybody ever wants to go through. Thoughts are with you.
-
Very sorry TC. Truly. In some ways it hurts worse than people. Though it sounds like you're consigned to the fact that Shug is ready to chase those great squirrels and rabbits in the sky that all Greyhounds look forward to I'll still hope for a sudden and miraculous recovery. Really really sorry about both the dogs man.
-
Terry and Suzanne,
Sorry to hear about what Shug's going through. It's always harder when pets get sick, because they don't understand what's wrong, just that they're not feeling well and they can't do the things they like to do. We've been in this position many times with our babies of the past, and it's never easy. I hope that Shug makes a miraculous recovery. All the best and the new babies look like they'll definitely keep your hands full.
:devil:
-
I'm just so sorry.
:ons_1: :(

Terry,
I am crying with you right now as I am typing this. I am so sorry to hear that Shug is not better and that you are having to go through this. Whichever decision you have to make today will be the best for Shug and for you.

Hey guys, our thoughts are with you. Tough times at the moment.
Thanks for the post of the poem, it says it all.

I think sometimes we take our pets forgranted until something happens to them, then we realize how much joy they bring us. Sorry to hear that Shug isn't any better.

Hey Terry & Suzanne,
So so sorry about your baby...our thoughts are with you.

Thanks so much to everyone here for their support, and to those who sent me PM's expressing their sorrow for what has been going on the last few days with Shug. After a consult with a specialist in California, the only thing left to do was exploratory surgery, and I just could not put the poor guy through that. Everything that could be done was done, so Shug went to sleep in my arms about an hour ago. Many, many tears have been shed today knowing that I had to do this, but my buddy let me know this morning that it was time. I love you Shug, and if there's anything after this, I will see you again. You will forever live in my heart....
MAY I GO?
May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?
May I say goodbye to pain filled days
and endless lonely nights?
I've lived my life and done my best,
an example tried to be.
So can I take that step beyond
and set my spirit free?
I didn't want to go at first,
I fought with all my might.
But something seems to draw me now
to a warm and loving light.
I want to go. I really do.
It's difficult to stay.
But I will try as best I can
to live just one more day.
To give you time to care for me
and share your love and fears.
I know you're sad and afraid,
because I see your tears.
I'll not be far, I promise that,
and hope you'll always know
that my spirit will be close to you
wherever you may go.
Thank you so for loving me.
You know I love you, too.
That's why it's hard to say goodbye
and end this life with you.
So hold me now just one more time
and let me hear you say,
because you care so much for me,
you'll let me go today.
~ Susan A. Jackson ~

I am so, so sorry Terry. You did what your heart and mind told you was right, and Shug was very lucky to have you in his life.

Sorry to hear this Terry, it is so hard to do but like you said they kind of let you know when it is time. Even though it doesn't make it any easier. Our thoughts are with you.
-
Damn Terry. So sorry. Have thought about Shug on and off all day long. Just wondering how you guys were doing. Really really sorry.
You and Diva need a little time to get better yourselves now. Play with the new puppies. Let the bird terrorize a stranger if you're looking for entertainment. But take a little time for yourselves to get your heads back in a good place.
Know friends are thinking of you and wishing you well. Love to all of you; even the damned bird.
-
Terry and Suzanne,
I am so sorry with what both of you had to go through over the last few weeks. You did what Shug would have told you to do if he could have. You gave him shelter and love, what more do any of us really need.
Take care my friends, love to you both,
Ed & Donna
It breaks my heart every time I read this last line, reminding me of my own best friend.
...And, master, when I am very old, if the Great Master sees fit to deprive me of my health and sight, do not turn me away from you. Rather, take my trusting life gently, and I shall leave you, knowing with the last breath I draw, my fate was always safest in your hands.
-
Terry & Suzanne, I haven't wanted to look at this thread because it makes me so sad, I am so very sorry that that Shug had to go I am really struggling with this same decision my Bobbie is not any better and I know I should let him go. I hope your hearts heal fast and I know you did the right thing. I hope I can get the strength to do the same thing.

Terry & Suzanne - Lisa & I send our condolences. Times like this are difficult & the only thing that seems to help heal that hurt is for more time to pass.

To Our CVO Family,
I have been wanting to post this to each and every one of you for your kind words and support during Shug's illness, but I have not been able to get through the tears. It has been so difficult to watch our little Buddy get sicker, and we felt so helpless. We had so much hope that he would not leave us.
He was such a gentle soul, so much fun, and he had such a wonderful dad who rescued him and took such good care of him and loved him like a son.
We will miss him deeply. The tears are still flowing.
Again, bless you all for caring. It has meant a lot to us.

To Our CVO Family,
I have been wanting to post this to each and every one of you for your kind words and support during Shug's illness, but I have not been able to get through the tears. It has been so difficult to watch our little Buddy get sicker, and we felt so helpless. We had so much hope that he would not leave us.
He was such a gentle soul, so much fun, and he had such a wonderful dad who rescued him and took such good care of him and loved him like a son.
We will miss him deeply. The tears are still flowing.
Again, bless you all for caring. It has meant a lot to us.
Suzanne
I wasn't expecting to be crying myself when I logged in a few minutes ago. Normally I'm laughing by now. Terry, thanks for posting the poem and letting us know about Shug. Sounds like you have your hands full with the two pups now. Hang in there Terry and Suzanne!

The puppies are wonderful, truly a God send. :) They're adorable, and always good for a laugh or smile. Today we took them to the vet for their check-up and they charmed everyone. Afterwards we went for an hour walk and all of us are pooped, but happy. The siblings stick very close ... can't imagine having one without the other. They're sleeping through the night. :2vrolijk_21: Right now they're stretched out side by side, sound asleep.
In my next life I'm coming back as TC's pet. :)

But I thought.... ah, never mind.
Diva, glad it sounds like the household is settling back down a bit after all the trauma. That was terribly unfortunate to have to suffer through back to back like that. So glad you guys and the twins are having such a good time. Enjoy and happy holidays.
-
Terry & Suzanne - enjoy those pups. Watching them go with that boundless energy is good for the soul. I miss the days when we raised brit pups. Not enough to ever go back to raising them again, since my memory hasn't atrophied to the point that I would do that again, but they are a heckuva lot of fun! :2vrolijk_21:

Well, I hate even writing this I am very worried about my cat Bobbie he has lost lot of weight it started with the hair balls. I finnally got that taken care of but he got anorexic . He doesn't like the smell of his food and I have to give him tuna and he only eats a little bit at a time. He is old almost 15yrs but I just don't want to do the tube feeding and IV thing. I just really don't know what to do I am very sad but he isn't crying and he still walks around but he is not the same.
Helen
Well my Bobbie is gone I had to put him down today, I am very sad and it hurts but he in not in pain anymore that's what matters. I will never forget that ball of fur.
Helen

So very sorry for your lose. Pets are precious and it is so hard to let go of them. But your heart tells you when it is the right time...
our condolences...Scott and Sheila....
-
Helen,
Sorry to hear about the loss of Bobbie. He will always be in your heart and memories. Nothing can ever take that away.
:devil:
-
Helen,
So sorry to hear about Bobbie...he will live on in your heart and memories, and those will always be with you. It is very sad, but both you and Bobbie know it was the right thing to do. In time, the hurt will go away, leaving only the good memories.

There have been too many of these lately. Sitting here right now leaned back in the chair, legs crossed, an Italian Greyhound curled up in that surprisingly small circle Greyhounds can make in my lap with the keyboard across the arm of the chair and one knee. It may sound contortionist, but it works. And the dog is dreaming the dream of bunnies and squirrels to be chased.
Sympathies to each of the families that have dealt with pets' health and passing. Whenever the time comes it'll always be difficult, and painful. Best wishes to the families and new pets that will inhabit and enliven them as a bit of time passes. Even the damned bird.

Helen,
Renea and I grieve with you. We're keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Helen, sorry to hear of your loss. 2Ln is right too many of these lately.

Last Monday, we had to take Brisco in to have a growth removed from the edge of his eyelid. He was not happy to come home with a cone...and he would be there trying to scratch but all we would here is his claws against the plastic. But once he figured out that we would schratch his neck an chin for him he definately relaxed and does not hate us as much.
I am thinking of adding antlers to the cone...

Bob, there are SO many "----doodle" or "----poodle" variants out there. Hear people explain that they just love poodles or something and the mixes are just oh so cute. Never having been a big poodle fan myself I always just took as meaning that girl poodle dogs are easy and will screw anything.... ???
-
I too am not a real fan of the poodle... but I believe a lot of this is attributed to the dander issue as poodles are one of the few breeds without.
Maggie Mae is quite lonely since Dezeri passed this last summer and I keep the annoyance level high with Candy by talking about a new friend for Maggie. Anyone here ever had a Min-Pin? I have only seen one (personally) before and it had no idea that I was the bigger of the two of us.
By the way Boatman, that labradoodle whatever is a cute one, 4 shore! :2vrolijk_21:

The mom was a golden retriever and the dad was a miniature poodle. The dad didn't even get any satisfaction as she was artificailly insemenated. Both the parents are supposed to be smart breeds and with the no/low shed we figured we would try something different.

Have never had a min-pin, but a friend of mine at work has two of them, and loves the breed. They are fiesty and strong willed, like some of the Terriers. Manchester Terriers are similar in nature and to some extent, appearance. A good one will cost a few bucks...buy from a reputable breeder, not just a backyard breeder, and definitely not from a pet store.
One of the best house dogs in the world is a Greyhound, and there are lots of them looking for good homes after retiring from the track. They are sweet, gentle animals, and absolute couch potatoes....VERY laid back. Already crate trained, housebroken, neutered/spayed, all shots, teeth cleaned, etc...Generally, you get them anywhere from 2 years old to 5 years old, depending on if they liked to race.

My sister just called to say that her cat was perched on their garage door when they came home, but they didn't see him. The door severed part of his leg. They rushed him to the vet and tomorrow morning will amputate his leg up to his hip. Sure hope he makes it through surgery and that he has just used 1 of his 7 lives. We don't know how old he is. He just showed up at their house one day.
Our family has had a lot of pet problems this month. Nell and Shug, my daughter's dog has just been diagnosed with pancreatitis, he's 12, and now her cat. :'(

Diva, please understand I don't mean this to make fun in any way. I'm just trying to build a scenario or image with my tiny little brain and just can't seem to do it. How in the world does this happen? If I need to do something in the garage to make sure Lincoln can't rush to amputation I'd like to know what it is. For the life of me I just can't figure out what happened though.

Wow! :o what a freak accident - poor kitty!
No, you all haven't had a good month with pets. My dog got pancreatitis too when she was about 11 and the vet told me if I hadn't got her in when I did he wouldn't have been able to help her - it was terrible. She couldn't even walk.
Keep us updated on the kitty.

I had trouble visualizing it as well but know they have a garage door that lifts when they open it. I'll tell my sister that inquiring minds want to know and will get details. I just talked to her, and KK is out of surgery. They amputated to the knee rather than the hip, he's sedated, resting well, and will go home from the hospital Friday. :2vrolijk_21:
By the way, my sister also has a dog ... the dog and the cat (both males) are in love. :confused5:

Good Morning, I wanted to Thank everyone for there post, It has been a hard week I really haven't felt much like talking or writing about my boy. And Diva I am happy to hear your sisters cat made it. I guess it will have to make some adjustments to life but my bet is it will do fine.

So sorry about your recent losses. Can't say enough about how much our furry kids mean to us, needless to say, I understand. You choose your friends not your family, but when it comes to our pets, they are the family we choose.

Thanks Craig. It's been hard, but we're really enjoying the pitter patter of little furry feet. The babies are so much fun and are bringing lots of smiles to our faces. You're right, you do choose your friends, not your family, and what better family to have than our pets. Unconditional love, can't get any better. :2vrolijk_21:

Don, I am awaiting a reply from my sister ... told her that inquiring CVO pet owner minds want to know just how KK's accident happened. Stay tuned.

My sister sent a reply to my e-mail entitled "Inquiring Minds Want to Know". They have no clue how the accident happened. There is not enough room for KK to sit anywhere near the door when closed, yet his blood is on top of the door about 3" in from the rail. He may have been sitting on the inside opener unit and jumped in the track of the door as it approached him. However, this would have put the blood stain on the outside of the door rather than the inside.
KK always wanted to be an inside cat, but his "dad" would not allow it. My sister would sneak KK into the house when her husband was not there. For the most part, he spent cold days in the garage or exploring outside during nice weather.
KK is recovering nicely and will go home from the vet tomorrow. :) Now KK will be an inside cat. :) I guess he decided it was worth using 1 of his 9 lives to accomplish same. KK rules. :2vrolijk_21:

Because so many here have shown such devotion to their pets, and provide such great homes for their 4-legged "kids", I'm going to throw this out there for anyone who might be looking for a great addition to their family...
The breeder I got the two pups from has one more pup available...like mine, he is almost 6 months old, so is all but housetrained, and about as large as he will get. The breed is Australian Terrier...Google it and you will find information on the breed. For anyone who is looking for a small (18lb, 11" at the shoulder), tough, people oriented, easy to care for (little grooming) dog, this breed cannot be beat. I've had at least one in the house for the past 20 years, and can't imagine life without one of these guys in the house. This is not a fru-fru dog, despite it's small size...they were ratters, snake killers, and companions for Australian farmers, and were developed to work catching vermin around the farm all day, then live in the house at night. Not yappy dogs, but will let you know when something's not right. Fearless. The males do not typically do well with other male dogs, especially if they are not neutered.
This little guy is named Cowboy...he has the potential to be a champion show dog, if anyone was interested in doing that, otherwise, the breeder requires that he be neutered. Either way, he'd make a great family pet. Great with children, and just generally a very friendly breed, unlike some of the other Terriers. They are not inexpensive, but well bred animals rarely are. If interested, shoot me a PM and I'll get you in touch with the breeder...she lives in Wyoming, but the pup can be flown out of Denver...in many cases, non stop. She is very particular about who she sells to, but is looking for a loving home for this last pup. If not, she will show him beginning in February.
Here's a couple of pics of Cowboy...the hair is just starting to grow out...they get some extra length around the neck, top of the head, and around the legs...the body stays short. A brush and a quick combing once every week or so is all the grooming required, and they do not shed.

Another, when he was a bit younger...

He is just precious Terry!! Ken has already reached his quota with the 4 dogs we currently have or I would certainly love to have that baby in my home!!
Just look at those eyes and that face!! :)

The great thing about them, Cheri, is that they are tough enough to be a man's dog, but sweet/gentle at the same time with their people, and will love the women in the house just as much.
-
The Aussie Terriers are wonderful pets. Rider and Tango are asleep at my feet. :) They are very loving but tough as nails. These little guys are house trained, crate trained, and delightful.
I'm sure that Cowboy is also house trained, crate trained, and delightful as he is their sibling. There's no doubt that their breeder cares a lot about her animals and goes to great lengths to make sure they are well trained.
Rider and Tango were shipped non stop from Denver to us in Alabama and showed no signs of trauma from riding in the plane. They were happy to see us at the airport, and they acted as if they knew us already. So, Cowboy would make a wonderful Christmas gift and could be shipped to you. :)

Well, some bad news on this end. I had to put my baby (dog) of 13 years to sleep Saturday night. We don't have any emergency vet hospitals around here so I had to take her up to Chesapeake (1.5 hours away). She was in extreme pain and I had no idea what was going on - it came on so sudden. She had lost a lot of weight the last six months and was feeble but still a very happy dog. I headed up to the hospital about 10 PM on Saturday, Brian was not home but I did talk to him and he said to definitely take her. I didn't know if we were even going to make it to the hospital. They took her right in and they did x-rays and found that her stomach was inflated and it was pushing all the other organs and it was starting to twist. I have been noticing her having a little different stance the last week or so but I didn't think anything of it because she wasn't feeling sick (not that I could tell). He said they would need to do emergency surgery to try and keep the stomach from twisting. I told him no, she was too old to undergo major surgery like that. I really don't know if she would have fully recovered. Also, the bill for the surgery was going to be between $2,000 and $4,000. If she was a puppy maybe but not with a dog her age.
She was a big part of my life and it is very hard right now to even be writing this. It was such a habit for me to take her out at certain times and take her for walks every night. Yesterday and today I just feel kind of lost. I know time will heal and I will never forget her. She sure as heck tried my patience alot and she knew that I was a push over but I still love her and always will.

aawwww *HUGS* ...Kathy
I'm SO very sorry to hear about your loss. You have my heartfelt condolences on the loss on not only your sweet dog but such a long-term best friend! I'm so sorry that you had to make such a tough decision. Whenever I've had a dog pass on I just imagine them running in a field of flowers chasing butterflies!!
May your heart heal from the pain and stay full of great memories!

That unconditional love is hard to part with. Bless you.
-
Kathy...so very sorry to hear about this... :'( :'( Believe me, all you can do at this point is try and think about what a great life your dog had with you, and give yourself some time to get over the loss. Her pain is over now, and you did the right thing. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help!
Terry
-
Kathy I am so sorry, it is never easy and to have to do that alone must have been terrible for you.
Puppies are good for walks, puppy kisses, shredding newspaper, running through the yard with your underwear, pooping on the carpet when you have company that you were just bragging to about how successful potty training has been going.
Gotta-love-em they are so cute and when they are asleep they are sooo good.
-
Oh so sorry for your loss. It is never an easy decision to make. Cherish the memories you have of your best friend. Our thoughts are with you.

Boy I am no good at this.....
Kathy soooooo sorry for your lost, but you know that she is not in pain now.
God Bless you,

Kathy, Brian, very very sorry guys. There has been too much of this kind of thing lately. The animals have all been loved and cared for to the very end. But it's time for all of them just to play and be adorable.
Kathy, I know that was a tough night. Really sorry.
-
Wolf is sort of the gold and black colors my new Duracell. Does that count as being CVO related?
-
Sorry to hear about your pup Kathy and Brian. Our thoughts are with you, I know how tough it is.
I decided to wait when we lost our last boxer and see how it went.
Three days later we had a new pup in the house. When/if it feels right you'll know.
-
Like all, we're very sorry for your loss Kathy. Knowing it was the right thing to do helps - a little, but the pain is so real. Take time to grieve and in time the pain will fade. We luv them forever.
-
Thank you all so very much for all the heartfelt messages. I greatly appreciate it and it does make me feel a little better. She will be missed so much but as everyone has said, time will heal.
Too many of us have had to go through this, some of us more than once, in the last couple of months.
Kathy

Kathy,
I am soooo sory that you had to go through this too. People say time will heal, boy it sure takes a lot to get a little. We lost our girl (17 yrs) just before Nelson and it is still raw, and reading all these recent stories keep it right up front. :bigcry:
But every day is better than the last. As many have said here, I have to remind myself that these members of our families have a shorter lifespan than we do... We provided them many great opportunities and long, healthy lives... the love we shared will not fade away, but allows us to share in ways we never knew we could.
I miss my little girl very very much and I know that she was a very happy girl and that is how I still see her.
I am so sorry for your loss as I am for all those who have lost so much recently.

You are so right about that, Kathy. There is nothing quite like coming home from a stressful day and having your four legged buddies greet you at the door, happy to see you, and expecting nothing more than a smile and a little lovin'. It washes the day right away... :)

[color=pink]Kathy, I am so sorry to hear this I just can't stand to hear anymore I feel your pain truly. I know you did the right thing. I have nothing more to say no advice because I know it just hurts.
So truly Sorry,
Helen[/color]

Thank you Helen. You are right, no more words need to be said.

Kathy and Brian my heart goes out to both of you. I am a dog lover and had to put down my Shepard when I was in my twenties. Gretchen couldn't walk the displasia was so bad and wasn't keeping any food down so it was a decision we made just like you. It sucked and I balled like it was no bodies business. Things will get better. Enjoy the holidays the best you can. Later,Q

B B, I know of what you speak.
I have Harley and Annie at the office today as we were having a laurel hedge trimmed and the dogs couldn't stay in the kennel.
If Harley was n't so much a handful it would be fun to have them here all the time.
Annie is very old in boxer years and Cindy and I often wonder how much more time we have to share with her.

Wow, a lot of people have lost pets or had them injured recently. We had a dog (Elke) we had to put down this past summer after having her for 14 years. She was the most traveled dog in the world as she moved with us from Pennsylvania to Italy, visited Germany/Austria/Switzerland, moved to Maine, then moved back to Pennsylvania. My youngest son who is now in college can not even remember a time before we had her.
She got a progressive nerve condition (similar to MS in people) and the hardest decision we ever had to make was to put her down. I still can't bring myself to walk over the place in the hallway where her kennel was. We still have her dog collar (Harley orange and black of course), a picture of her and one of her toys on a shelf near where we used to keep her kennel.
My heart and sympathy go out to all of you who have suffered pet loses or injuries.
-
I truly apologize to all who have lost their animal friends and posted about it recently for my seeming lack of sympathy. Every time I start to write something I get water running from my eyes thinking about how much longer I have to spend with Mickey the wonder dog. He's been with us for almost 13 years and the thought of life without him - - - - - - well now maybe you understand why I haven't posted on this thread.
B B
We all understand Brian, no need to apologize. It is always hard to think or talk about it but sometimes it does help to talk about it with others.
-
Kathy...you are correct. It does help to talk/write about it. In fact, there would have been no way for me to talk to anyone about what was going on with my buddies, as they wouldn't have understood me between the sobbing, but I was able to write about it....it helps, Brian, and I hope your bud stays with you for as long as is possible. You'll know, and you've got people here who understand and will support you when that time gets here.

Sweet face, and a nice head. You and Brian are gonna' have your hands full for the next 12-18 months!! Better shut all closet doors, bedroom doors, get a crate for her to sleep in or be in when not supervised...oh, and a MOP too ;)
She's a cutie and I know you guys are going to enjoy her!!

Oh man I just want to jump through the screen and pick her up. She is sooooo cute!
If you want to see what she will look like in about 2 years (& 20 pairs of shoes, several lawn irrigation heads, a couch or two and too many appliance cords to count). But I would not trade him for anything in the world.
Go out right now and buy Marley And Me. It is a very easy read and there is no way you will be able to put it down until the last page. :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:

What an adorable little baby. Kathy, I know you and Brian both are going to love having her.
And yes, all of us lab lover and owners know that there is that 2 some year oral fixation that they just have to go through. We actually got a lot - and I mean a lot, and when you think of a lot, triple it - in chew toys for our Maggie May. That was of course after the chair, the couch, some electrical cords, my one and only boots I could ride a motorcycle with at the time, I can't count how many hair thingies,......... We put them in a Maggie toy box. We emphasized that any of the toys that were in Maggie's toy box were hers to chew on, pull out, drag around the house and yard at her will. It was not perfect, but it did seem to help with that anxiety that labs go through when bored or separated from you. We had to get the strongest chew toys - usually reserved for the rottweiler breeds, anything else she'd devour in seconds. But over time, she learned what was hers and what was not. Just one pair of shoes. And like magic, one day, all the chewing was over with. Now we have a heaping box of chew toys. Surprisingly now - Maggie is about 6 years old, every once in a while she drags out a toy to play with.
It is just so very much fun and fills your heart and home with that unconditonal love.

Love the labs... too bad we want to go to the same things, I wanna call dibs on puppy sitting, but we'll both be looking at the same time. And don't even think about the doggie carrier tour pack, once she hits 90 pounds you won't want her up there.
Best of luck with the little QT! :2vrolijk_21:
Oh yeah, Candy didn't mention the solid oak dining set... table top corners, legs, chair legs, and braces, about 4 inches by 12 off of the foot board of our bed... :o :o :o
-
All so true!
Kathy...the new pups were already crate trained when we got them, but they did not like it when I put their crates in the next room, so I took the breeders advice and put them in our bedroom. I don't have a large home with large bedrooms, but I moved some stuff around a bit and got the two crates in there. Now they sleep like angels all night long....well, from about 11pm to 6am anyway. Sometimes they will sleep in a bit more. I think they like to hear me snore :D :D
Crate training is the ONLY way to go with a pup...it may be hard the first night, but don't give in!!!
Of course, you can always get ANOTHER dog to keep her company!!! ;D ;D

I have a lab puppy about 7 months old. We have a crate and is always supervised when out. Chewing is an issue no doubt. She shortened the laces on my Harley boots. What's amazing is how fast she can dig a hole and leave nothing to fill it with. Where did it go? :nixweiss: When I dig a hole I get too MUCH left over.....
Love the pictures. Enjoy the puppy. BTW, the puppy smell goes away after about 3 months. Don't know where that goes either. Somewhere with the dirt I suppose......

And I thought it was only my lab...same result regarding the digging of a hole. I was amazed by it. As she got older it faded away. But now she is 9 yrs old and it is beginning again.
Good Luck

2 Years!! Oh my gosh. She does try and chew everything. Luckily I didn't buy that new couch that I wanted! I've only bought her about six toys so far. I bought her this squirrel hand puppet last night at Food Lion and she's been dragging that around. We keep a good eye on her when she is not in the crate. As you know things could get out of hand real quick if she was left alone.
Do you brush your dogs teeth? If so, how often? We haven't done grooming yet.
She is fun and very docile but we try and work her hard in the evenings with play/training and such.

Last night was kind of bad. the first night Brian slept on the couch with the TV going all night and we kept her out in the living room. She did better. Last night Brian slept in the bedroom and we kept her in the living room. We turned off the lights and she wasn't calming down so I turned on a light and that quieted her down. Then around 2 I woke Brian up to take her outside and then she wouldn't calm down again so Brian banged the crate and shut up. I'm thinking, she was lonely like you say and maybe we will take her in the bedroom with us tonight and see how it goes. Our your dogs facing you in their crates or do you have them facing away from you?
NO WAY - please don't give Brian any ideas!! I don't think he has the energy to keep up with 2!

She hasn't started digging yet and thanks for heads up on the puppy smell, her breath - YUCK! Maybe toothbrushing will help that smell go away faster!

Kathy...seems things are going very well.
I do have the two crates positioned so that the pups can look out the door and see our bed, and probably see at least part of me...they must, 'cause they will start whimpering a bit if I start moving around much in the morning when I'm waking up. I have the plastic crates with the vents on the side and wire door...more like a "cave" for them. If you have the wire type crate, you might try putting the rear up against the wall, then cover the top and sides with an old beach towel or blanket, leaving only the front open for viewing in/out. I have a smaller wire crate in the den set up like this, and Rider (the male pup) will go into it on his own when he gets tired of Tango pestering him and wants to nap. Typical guy, huh? ;) 7 or 8 hours is all they can wait...even a grown dog. Mine are now 6 1/2 months, and go about 7 hours in the crate at night. Puppies do not get any real control over their bladder/bowel movements until they are about 4 months, then you can expect some real changes in their patterns...until then, it's just every time they eat, wake up, finish playing, etc. I've found with all my dogs during my lifetime, the key is to keep them on a pretty tight feeding/watering schedule, even into adulthood, then their pooping is more predictable. I do not believe in the never empty food dish for a dog, nor the once a day meal. Their blood sugar gets low, just like ours, so two meals per day is better, IMO. I feed 1/2 the daily amount when I get up (or they get me up), and then the other 1/2 around 5-6 in the evening. If they do not eat the food within 5 minutes, it gets removed. This encourages them not to become picky eaters. Ideally, if you can eat just a bite of something, or even drink a little something before giving them their food, it helps establish you as "pack leader", as the leader always gets to eat first in the dog world. Same with going through doorways, etc. It also helps to take them for a walk prior to feeding, if that's possible...make them "work" for their food...but that's not always practical or do-able.
Never, ever, ever, give them any of your personal belonging for a chew toy, no matter how old the article is...a puppy cannot possibly tell the difference between an old raggedy slipper you don't care about and your favorite pair of boots or tennis shoes...it all smells the same to him, and with a lab, or any dog for that matter, it's smell first and all other senses second. If they get something they're not supposed to have, give them their chew toy and take the other away. Repeat 1,000 times.... :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2: They also read your body language and "vibes" like a book, paying MUCH more attention to that than any words you speak, even after they learn what the word means. Studies have shown that a dog can detect body position changes as small as 1/2" in humans...so leaning slightly forward, or backward, is significant to a dog. Eye contact is particularly significant...even in humans.
I don't mean to go off on tangents like this, but the stuff is interesting to me, so I read a lot, and behaviorism was my field in college, working with emotionally disturbed children for 4 years paying for school. I still work with some emotionally disturbed children, they just happen to be 30 - 65 years old, and get paid to be here.... ;) ;) :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2: ::) I'm in HRM....

You are very educated on this stuff. I did buy a book on training a lab and our neighbor gave us a book on labrador retrievers so we've been reading a little bit. Like everything else you hear different things from different people, I guess you find what works and stick with it. We will try the crate in the bedroom tonight, we have the plastic kind too. It's actually a big cat carrier but it is big enough for her and we also bought the large one to use as she gets bigger.
Brian has been feeding her half the portion of the recommended amount around 7 AM and then the other half around 6:30 PM and she is a real chow hound. No problems with eating that is for sure. He waits about 10 minutes and takes her out to do her stuff.
She's had her first round of boosters and then we made an appt for her to our vet next week.
No, we haven't given her anything personal to chew on, we did read that that was a definite no, no.

You are very educated on this stuff. I did buy a book on training a lab and our neighbor gave us a book on labrador retrievers so we've been reading a little bit. Like everything else you hear different things from different people, I guess you find what works and stick with it. We will try the crate in the bedroom tonight, we have the plastic kind too. It's actually a big cat carrier but it is big enough for her and we also bought the large one to use as she gets bigger.

Kathy, my daughter's dog (about 4 years old) has a shoe fetish ... he ate half of a new shoe. >:(

Funny! My cat has a sock fetish. He will find dirty socks in our dirty clothes bin in our bedroom and drag them down to his food bowl. If we go out of town for a couple of days there will be a trail of socks leading from our bedroom to his bowl, it is so funny! I've seen him do this too, he's always so stealth about it but I've heard him digging in the bin and grabbing one - it is so cute.
Brian has taught Jade how to go up and down the stairs now so we will really have to keep an eye out so she won't get to the shoes downstairs! She's been playing with her brother all day as Brian is fishing up in Virginia. I am sure she will be glad to see him when he goes to get her later on.

Jock,
I'm going off the OFF TOPIC here - just want to let you know that I love your avatar - that episode was hilarious. I can just see Will Ferrell's belly just a jiggling when he played that cowbell!
Kathy
Totally hysterical!!! :huepfenlol2:

Well Brian took Jade to her first vet appointment. Actually her second but the first with our vet. The dr said he's never seen a more docile Lab puppy. He said that Brian did a good job with picking her out of the litter. He said we better be sure we give her lots of exercise because she is so laid back (just like her Dad)! She's fifteen pounds now and the dr says that she is going to be a pretty good size dog. I'd be happy with 60 lbs - that's how big Lou was in her heyday and that was big enough. I'll post some more pics if I can get the camera off of the boat tonight. I took some video last night of her first bath - how cute and she behaved so well; we were shocked.

Well Jade and I took our first boat trip today. It was so nice on the ocean that I decided to take the skiff to chase the rockfish instead of using the Donzi. Jade slept between my legs the whole trip. Even when we boated 2 fish, 36lbs and 28lbs, she just licked their face and went back to sleep. No barking, just one docile dog.
The trip home was a little rough. The wend changed to offshore and the ocean got rough for the skiff. Jade moved a little to the rear of the skiff, where it was a little smoother ride. She drank water on the boat, so my thought was that she would pee on the deck. NOPE. she held it till we hit the dock, then as soon as her feet hit the concrete, she must have peed a pint.
Well she is now going to fish the tournament this weekend with us, since she was that good.
Not bad for a 9 week old pup :2vrolijk_21:

Here are some more pics - these are from last week - sorry don't have any yet of her on the boat. Maybe Brian will take some this weekend.

She tried to chew the cable but we quickly stopped that!

She looks like a fine one. The picture with her sleeping with Brian reminds me of my eleven year old. I have almost the same exact picture with her sleeping in the same pose on the bed when she was little like that. I wish I could post that but it was eleven years ago. Anyway she looks like a fine one, can't wait to see her as she grows. Good luck with her.

You just reminded me of the bitter apple. You can buy it at any pet store - in spray/non aresol. and spray it on the things that she seems to be interested in chewing on. Very quickly they become unattractive to her.
Very much a cutie. We all love puppies.
-
You are killing me!
Would love to get a dog, but with our lifestyle, we just would not be fair to one. We would treat 'em like a king, don't get me wrong, but we are just not home enough nor close enough to go home at lunch time. But when we retire!

They can be...until they leave little surprises in the bathtub, or whizz in the A/C and Heat vents out of spite. I love 'em, and have owned some nice cats, but I've had one or two who were the Devil's spawn, I think.... ;)

The younger one we have was up on top of the upper cabinets a few weeks ago. I'm in the other room, 10:30pm, I hear this awful crash and glass smashing, I race into the kitchen and he's looking at me like, "Man did you see that, I wonder how that vase fell?" Glass everywhere, all my shoes and the broom are on the opposite side of the kitchen which was now covered in clear glass shards. Oh yeah they're a joy! >:( :huepfenlol2:

Brisco, the upside down one, will be 14 in Mar....on my sisters' birthday...gues who's we celebrate!
Brisco's Sister, Dixie Lee, developed Cronic renal failure when she was four. We gave her all types of medicine and increasing subcutaneous fluid (IV Bag, needle between shoulder blades) until she was almost eight years old. She started to fade fast one week and we made the tough but right decision. Now Anne is always worried when she sees Brisco near a door...Dixie, at the end was always looking to get out of the house, presumably to go find an appropriate place for her to meet her end........animals are smarter than us humans when it comes to death. At the time, we had just bought our new boat and decided to name it Dixie Lee....the dinghy was referred to as Brisco...he didn't appreciate it!
Indoor cats and the worst we have had is a tipped over Garbage Pail...and a Broken Waterford Crystal Pitcher.

Bill, I've had a couple of animals go out to never be seen again when they were older. I think they do know, especially cats. I love cats too, just don't have one at his point in time. They are definitly easier to take care of when away.

There are our "kids". That's Oliver, 9, on the left on top, Chelsey, 4, underneath Oliver, and her big brother Chester, 4, to the right. We've had 10 cats over our 33 years of marriage, and all of them with the exception of two have lived out to ripe ages of 16-18 years old. They're pretty spoiled. :)

They're really sweet, but man, do they play rough with each other!! They get pissed every once in a while, then kiss and make up 30 seconds later. They are as tough as pine knots, and have some seriously powerful jaws and neck muscles...a rat or a snake wouldn't stand a chance.

It's great to get sibblings...they are the same age, so they can play the same way. Chester was too much for Oliver after he started getting bigger, so we got Chelsey from another litter of the same parents. So Chester now had a playmate the same age, and Oliver could go back to being less annoyed.

LOL! The other night the older one, Scrapes, wanted to get into the closet so at 2:00am wakes me up to open the door for her. She gets on the middle shelves we have, about 48" off the floor and stays there so Abe can't get at her. After about an hour and I'm well back to sleep she launches off the shelf and onto me and of course couldn't have aimed better if she tried... :-X Ouch, I just got up and left for work.

LOL...I don't think there's a cat owner that at one time or another, the cat hasn't launched itself, right smack dab in the middle of your "happy place". It's bad enough when you're awake, but when you're in a dead sleep, it is the most excrutiating way to be woken up. ;D

This one of my favorite pictures and the only digital one I have of the kids with our old best friend, Pibbs. My son is now 19 and the girls 15 and 12. My best friend I had to put down when she turned 14, 7 years ago...But this is when she was happy and feeling fine so it always makes me feel good but I sure do miss her a lot.

She looks like she was a sweetie, Ed.
Cowboy might have been handy to have around, to give back as good as he got. But Cowboy has found a nice home in the breeder's home town, and will get to be shown by the breeder so he can become Mr. Stud Dog. The new owners have another Aussie named Harley (neutered), so they will get along fine.
Cats on the noonies at inoportune times can be most uncomfortable!!

This week I was driving through a little town, middle of nowhere, & saw 2 dogs waiting to cross the road at an intersection. Little medium sized brown mama dog watching a larger black/brown brindle colored dog - looking at him anxiously. He was staring intently at the intersection & the cars & trucks going by. Not sure why I noticed them - just a couple of mongrel mutts. They were wearing collars & in good shape so figured they must be someone's pets. I was stopped at the light & traffic was busy, considering. He made a false start once or twice - when he moved she would also, but he would back up & so would she due to the car traffic. She looked anxious, if dogs can look anxious. Traffic finally cleared & they made their way to the produce stand across the street - maybe the guy there owned them, maybe they were just exploring. Found their behavior interesting - the male was older, & the young female was taking her street crossing cues from him. Evidently he knew the program, since he did not dart into traffic even once. Smart dogs, & they put a smile on my face that morning.

Here's picture of my best buddy ever...His name was Sunny....short for Sundancer...and he lived to a ripe old age of 15 1/2 years. Australian Terrier is the breed...Sunny came to me through a breeder when he was four years old. He had already gotten his Championship, and had fathered several litters of pups from all over the country, so came to me to retire. Sunny used to go out in the boat fishing with me, backpacking, and anywhere else I wanted him to go until he couldn't go any more...that's been about 7 years ago now, and I still miss him...this photo stays on my credensa at work at all times...

That's great. Glad they're enjoying it then. One of the (few) problems with the IG's, probably was the same with the big one, is not much meat on their bones. They really don't like the cold :P .

Diva, are they a breed that is instinctively going to not mind the snow or want to get out in it a bit? Or are they a "what is this chit" variety?
My guess is they'll be that. How often does it/will it snow in Birmingham? :nixweiss: :huepfenlol2:

d00d, it rarely snows here. Forecast was 2-4 inches, but we just got a dusting. We were hoping to have enough to sled ... Terry was hoping to ski. :D

Don...as soon as the deck got enough on it for them to wrestle in it a bit, they were soaked. The breed has a hard outer coat where it's black, with some feathering on the legs, around the neck, top of the head. Not a true double coat, but very thick and hard to penetrate. They were bred to keep rats and snakes killed, so the coat served a function...they have the teeth of a dog twice their size...powerful little dogs in a 15-18 lb package...feel like little concrete blocks. We have to get them the "agressive chewer" toys, as they kill the normal ones quickly. Very sweet to people though, unlike some of the Terriers, who are wary or one person dogs. These guys love everybody, but ready to scrap with another dog if it acts dominant...they have no idea how small they are...

From the pictures here and your prior descriptions not at all surprised by that combination. That's got to make them a lot of fun while they're still in puppy mode. Having the two together will obviously keep them playful longer than they'd be as singletons. But at what general age does this breed normally "grow up" and lose its puppy-ness?

At about 18mos they are cosidered "grown", or a better word might be "mature". They won't get much bigger in size than they are now, but all of their coat will not come in until about 18mos. At now 7 months, they are WFO when they are awake...you'd think they were killing each other they play so hard. Been a couple of "puppy fights"...but when push comes to shove, Rider's size and muscle mass will get the best of Tango, but otherwise, he lets her pester the chit out of him. He's about 2 lbs heavier, and that ratio will remain about the same. He'll end up at about 18-19, and her, about 15-16. They feel much heavier when they hit your chest or shoulder sitting on the couch :o
Rider is plastered up against my leg, with Tango laying curled up next to him as I type this. It's early afternoon nap time... :)

This is Fathead. He showed up a couple of months ago and I've been feeding him since then. He is there on the porch every morning when I go out and every night when I come home, if I'm not too late. We started calling Fathead cause of his big pumpkin head.

It took me a while to figure out why his front paws looked goofy, I had never seen this, but some friends say they have seen before. He has got 6 toes on each front paw, two dew claws on each paw. It makes his feet look like little clubs.

When we were in Key West last year we visited Earnest Hemingway's home. A lot of the cats there have six toes.
The story goes that a sailor gave Hemingway a six toed cat (which are called Polydactyl) as a gift and the cats there today are descendants of that cat. Sailors in those days liked to have six toed cats on their ship for two reasons. One, they were considered good luck. Two, the extra toes helped in catching rats and climbing the ships rigging.
Here's a link with more info on the Hemingway cats:

Dear Dogs and Cats,
The dishes with the paw print are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is not a secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years -- canine or feline attendance is not required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it 'fur'niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember: In many ways, dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3. Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10.Don't need a 'gazillion' dollars for college.
And finally,
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children

Ed...the food is the best I've ever tried...the pups love it, their coats are shiny, and they are healthy as horses. They play hard, but when they tire of that, they are as sweet as any dog you'll meet. Dynamite in an 11 inch package...they have found every buried thing in the backyard thats inanimate, and scared a few chipmunks out of their holes...their noses are amazing!!

I thought I would post up a pic of my baby boy. His name is ROwler he is an Akita, We got him at the pound in April 07, this picture was taken in mid August, he probably goes 110 - 125lbs by now.

Here's a pic of one of my Mom's cat. He's 1 year old. His name is Lucky They found him on the side of the road when he was just a tiny thing and he was extremely sick. They nursed him back to health, hence the name Lucky. He looks so innocent in this picture but actually he gets into everything!
-
Yeah, sheds sheds and sheds. they say that they are supposed to "blow" thier coats 2X a year, but I do believe he does it all year round.... Big chunks of hair.

Wow, some great looking additions. Terry, those little dogs look like they don't know they are small. Kathy - what are you feeding that little girl. She has tripled in the last couple of weeks. I love those little fluffy dogs. Great pics.

BTW, Luna (great dane) was rescued from a puppy factory that abused her. However she is the most gentle, sweet and loving dog there is. She has had some serious health issues but we think she is stable now. Only problem is she eats and poops like a GREAT Dane. I had to buy a bigger shovel! :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

Doesn't it make you sick to your stomach with these puppy factories...I'd like to lock the SOB's up in one of their own cages for a couple of years. People who mistreat animals and children shouldn't be on the planet.
So glad to hear of your rescue, Warren, and especially glad to hear the Dane is doing well...they are gentle giants. :2vrolijk_21:

I tell ya, she chows down at chow time. The vet told Brian to be very careful because these dogs put on weight very easily. She's not going to be a true puppy for much longer.
-
Pretty cat, Kathy. Jade looks like she is growing by leaps and bounds!!
Lucky is very pretty, he just happened to be sitting there with his legs crossed and I had to take the pic.
Yup, Jade is growing like a weed. She's not going to be puppy size for much longer.

Actually it was Marie (daughter #1) who took her from the rescue kennel. The second day she had her they were walking and the Dane decided to make a sudden right turn and pulled Marie to the ground and broke her arm in two places! Marie weighs 100 lbs soaking wet and the dog weighs 138. She is a handful to walk....have to use a harness! :cherry:

Candy...they are sweet dogs to people, but have NO idea about their size. They will take on any who come if they don't act right...they have no fear, and have the teeth to back it up. Rider is like a little concrete block when you pick him up...18lbs that feels like 40lbs when they jump on you. Sweet dogs though, and love their people! No critter stands a chance...they have already terorized all the chipmunks in the yard...they haven't figured out that the little guys have two holes, so they have escaped thus far.

Hogbreath,
Glad to see you like chickens and dogs as well. We have 3 dogs in the house, all are of mixed breed. We had a pure bred cocker spaniel for 14 years and she was not very friendly. Our current dogs are smart, durable and were free (one was rescued).
In addition to 3 dogs, we also have the following pets/animals.
1 Bird (at house)
2 frogs (at house)
1 Rabbit (in backyard in hutch)
1 Chicken (stays in the backyard in a cool looking pen called an Eglu)
1 Goat (stays at a Vet friends house)
1 Horse (currently out in CA for sale)
My daughter also has about 15 or so chickens she keeps at a friends house in the country. she goes there every other day to feed, water, and collect eggs she sells in her "Deluxe Clucks" business. She gets $4.50 a dozen for these fresh eggs which she sells to neighbors and friends.
Can you tell from the above she likes animals :o

Thanks Ken. She is very enthusiastic when it comes to her special projects. She is working me for another guiniea pig, as her last one died a year ago on Valentines day. They are pretty much useless, as all they do is eat and drop black jelly beans all over the cage. I'll probably cave and let her get one.
I have no idea where she gets her love of animals and her horse back riding interests. I grew up with only a dog and a strong fear of horses, as they are too big!! I may need to check on who our mailman was at the time :o If they guy was a farmer, I'm calling foul...

Maybe she'll want to be a Vet when she grows up, and help keep you in CVO's in your old age ;) One thing I've always felt about animal lovers is that they are almost always good people, so it sounds like you've got a sweet, kind hearted little girl. :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks TC, we certainly think so!! (as if that is not too obvious) I would love to have her pursue that occuptation, but its totally her call.
She really has a great personality, totally different than my 17 year old son, who is much more reserved and less ambitious :'( as he loves his PS3, Sports, and computer!! Both are great kids, but very different in their demeanors.
As always, I take credit for all of the great features, and blame the wifes genes on the less desirable ones!!! :mango:

I have a cousin who's a vet and he along with a friend of mine who was immersed in rottweliers before you could buy them here in the states both believe that the purebreds are weaker although they can't put their finger on why!! I've owned Rotts going on a little over 20yrs. My first dogs were healthy as a horse as they say. the male and female I own now are both sickly although they show few outward signs to the unsuspecting. I might be dogged out at this point!!!!! :huepfenlol2: :drink:

Howie...it seems to happen more when a particular breed becomes "popular" with the masses, and dogs are bred for the wrong reasons, tending to pass more of the genetic faults. As you well know, Rotts are not a breed everyone should own, like so many other breeds of dogs. The Germans, for some reason, tend to breed strong dogs, particularly the Shepherds and the Rotties...also the Dobies, but a person is going to pay some pretty good money for a German bred dog.

My sister & I both have beagles. Wife had one when we dated, back in 1793. Maybe it was 1973. :nixweiss:

Not by me Ed, we only had snow once, 6" that quickly turned to slush and was gone in about 2 days.
The top picture was taken 3 years ago and the next one was 5 years ago. 2 of my favorite 100 or so favorite pictures I have of the girls.

Sorry to hear that you lost an important member of the family.
17 years of companionship is tough to see end, you were lucky to have her for so many years.
-
Neal, Jamey and I are both very sorry for your loss. Just don't know how hard it is to loose these members of our families till we have to endure. We planted a nice tree where Dezeri lays, and it gives us varing degrees of heart pain and joy each time we see it.
-

Very sorry to hear of your lose, pets are like family members and Im sure one of 17 years holds strong feelings in your hearts. They say 17 dog years is equal to 84 human years, Gretchen my be gone but I bet she will never be forgoten.
-
Here is one of my girls ~ a new Harley Girl ~ Sydney

Neal,
Sorry to hear about your loss. It's never easy to lose a special family member, especially after being with you that long. Deepest sympathies, but she'll be waiting for you at "Rainbow Bridge".
:devil:

Sorry to hear that Gretchen passed Neal. I know how much you guys will miss her. Our condolences to both of you.

Sorry to hear about your loss. We have a chocolate who's 11. Our kids are jealous, say he gets trated better than they did.

Sorry to hear about that. I remember meeting Gretchen and thinking about Nancy's pup Nick. He's about the same age and like Gretchen had been with her forever. Any thought on another one? Sorry for your and Sue's loss.
On a lighter note, Neal has another dog that eats corncobs. We were having dinner and he threw a corncob off the deck and whoosh, it was gone.
Never seen a dog that would eat a corncob.

Sorry Neal. Always sad when that happens. Was it just generally old age or did something specific occur?

just a case of old age. what is it a 7yr multiplier for dogs 17x7=139 she was still going strong until recently and really semed to go downhill fast over the last few days. it will be wierd to not have her under our feet

Here's a chart for dog's age vs human age...it varies a great deal based on the size of the dog.

Here is my lovely wife and our little bikerdog PW that stands for Parents Weekend at Texas A&M thats when my wife got him, he is only 2 in dogyears but he thinks he is old enough to take front seat ha. Just in case you ever meet him keep your distance he has licked 3 people to death :o This is the first dog we every had that has lived in the house with us and rode the scooters, I just cant imagine the day he wont be there.

Neal & Sue,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Gretchen had a good, long, life - 17 years- WOW! Always remember the good times.
Brian & Kathy

Neal,
Really sorry to hear about your recent loss. 17 years of good times cannot be discounted. It is also a long time, but I am sure that it passed quickly even so. Perhaps a new pup is in order. It sure seems to help and amazingly so. Sometimes it takes 2 pups to help get over the loss of one pet. I wonder if that's how we ended up with 4? Seriously though, our thoughts go out to you and Sue.
-
Neal, so sorry to hear about your loss.
Take comfort in knowing the love and care you and Sue provided gave her such a long, full life.
My heart is still broken from last year... I search sites like this
http://www.petfinder.com/ (http://www.petfinder.com/)
There are so many dogs that want homes... it is hard to fight the urge to fill the void, I guess that's how special these relationships are.
-
Sorry to hear about your loss. We have lost 3 pets in the past 3 years and it always leaves a big void in your'e heart.
To lighten the subject, here is a pic of our Ruthie and our new Wags dog trailer for those who did not see my other post. A couple jealous nieghbor dogs looking on. We took her on a 325 mile trip on Sat., drew lots of attention, and she seemed to have a great time.

It's awesome that you are able to bring Ruthie along in her new Wags trailer, but with that Rinehart 2-1 exhaust, is she deaf yet? She sure looks like a sweet dog!

Not yet, However I did take the little woman in it around the block a few times at high rpm's and she said it wasn't bad at all. Hoist called her my "canary" as she was also testing for exhaust fumes.The trailer seemes to be well insulated

#3 - She lost her last baby tooth just about 30 minutes ago. All the others I guess she lost outside somewhere, this one I put in a ziploc bag and put it in her file (I know I'm kinda strange)!! Don't worry I won't post a pic of it.

Sorry, here's #3 pic

Jade is getting so big, it looks like you got a real sweetheart. Have you taken her fishing anymore.
Sorry we won't be seeing you guys in Sedona. When you do the West coast let us know you have a place to stay in Oregon.

Here's a pet I had for a short while. I named him Fang, he was 1/2 wolf. He was wiened at 2 weeks from his momma. He was never as tame as a dog. I was the only one who could manage to get close to him. He wasn't viscious, he had more of a tendancy to hide out.

At night he'd get to howling. It was pretty wild. I was going through a divorce at the time, so yea, the house looks pretty rough. It was a typical bachelor pad. Fridge only had beer in it.

Before Fang, I had this pet. He didn't howl any.

Some of you have met Dammit. He thinks he's a Rottweiler. He'd let burglars in the house and be friendly to them. But, when they try and leave, he chews their legs off. Sorta like the roach motel, you can check in, but ya can't check out.

He is a cutie ~ that is for sure ~ and the name seems appropriate

I've never seen this thread or never paid any attention to it. Prior to getting married last year, I had never owned a dog and didn't think of myself as a pet person. My pet experience was a one-eyed black cat named Patch that was house-trained. He went to the door and meowed to go out and would sit outside meow to come back in. If you ever left him locked up too long, he'd go to the walk-in shower and do his business on the drain! And he learned that all by himself. He never got on the furniture, the counters or used anything but the rug to sharpen his claws. So my pet ownership has been highly skewed!
Then Robert fell in love with Annie, Mike's 4-year-old black lab! She is the smartest and most beautiful dog I've ever seen! I'll post her pic in a moment.
Then we needed a dog for Grayson because he was jealous. Grayson wrote a letter to Santa requesting "a white dog named Biscuit." Big Daddy took him to the post office to mail it. Santa (our mail carrier) wrote back and told him it was a late request but he'd see what he could do! Santa delivered the cutest puppy I've ever seen, a very pale yellow English lab to Big Daddy's Firehouse on Thanksgiving because "he was going to be too big for the sleigh by Christmas." The last six months have been quiet an experience. He's not a dog! He's a horse! They said he'd be around 85 pounds full grown. He weighed 72 pounds before he was 6 months. He doesn't know how big he is and is still such a baby. He pouts, he sulks, and he is soooo spoiled!
Pics will follow. I've created his own photo album on my MySpace page just to document his growth because I can't get over how fast he's grown!
-
Annie
-
Biscuit as a puppy before we got him. (This picture should have been a clue! This is his one true love!)
-
Isn't he a cutie?
-
Santa bringing him to the firehouse. Granny had to keep him for a week beforehand.
-
A month later!
-
In January, he still looked like your traditional English lab. But his paws were huge!
-
February. He's already as big as Annie and she's 4!
-
Here he is now with my very big 4yo! He's over 80lbs but haven't had him to vet to weigh him lately.
-
I,ve been down to San Diego every other week for last four weeks, going again 4/7/08 . while down there on biz i,ve been helping housebreakeing two new puppys...

-
All Three
-
He normally only jumps on the bed once a day - right after I make it up and then pouts when I get onto him.
-
The two pits are smart well trained, the french bull dog( never seen one these before) has ears like a rabbit only will get 20 lbs..A face only a mother could love....this one,s not to bright...AK
-
All Three
Oh my gosh! There like three little stair steps! They are so cute! I've seen the big one on Carey's MySpace page but I haven't seen the two little ones! How's the house training? Biscuit did fine until we moved and then he rebelled. He'd stay outside for an hour then come inside and pee!
Hey will I get to meet them on the NorCal trip?

V- Your Boy looks very happy ,he,s going to have to put on a few lbs to walk that big dog--AK
-
Yep! I tried to explain that to him and he just doesn't understand. He pouts about as bad as Biscuit when I won't let him take the leash! I guess he's gonna have to learn the hard way! :nixweiss: When Biscuit takes off and drags him across the yard, maybe he'll get the idea.
Here's Biscuit pouting... I'll follow it with Grayson pouting! The boy fits the dog and the dog fits the boy! They have the same personalities! EATS ALL THE TIME! Great personality but sulks terribly!
-
Grayson pouting...
He's mad cause I wouldn't let him keep taking pics with Biscuit and made him take one with me!

V- House training is a work out but they should be getting it soon...there 90% on the pee pads...I,ll see if they can come up for nor-cal. I,m taking my 2000 ultra non-cvo and going to put sticker on to advertize there Gym ALLIANCE TRAINING CENTER they got a cool logo. on there shirts etc.. they just wraped a bus --AK

Very cool! You'll have to get Carey to send me a bumper sticker.
I think Biscuit has finally got it, I hope. My oldest son gave me all these pointers I've been following so I hope it's working! My oldest son got a dog last year from the pound and it died 3 days later from Parvo. He was so upset because he just fell in love with the Jack Russell puppy, named her Rosie, and was so happy. Three days later, she was gone. Since then, he volunteers at the Human Society. He knows he's not ready for the responsibility of a pet full time but wants a dog terribly. So he goes gets his fix by volunteering. He gave me lots of tips and helps with Biscuit every time he comes home now. I think everybody loves the dog about as much as Biscuit (with the exception of his dad). Everybody wants to take him home! We are finally breaking him from jumping on the 4-year-old next door. That poor little boy would drop and roll up in a ball and Biscuit would think he wanted to play and start nudging him around like a basketball! He loves ball but we've tried every kind and they don't make it a day with the Chew Monster! He's been through basketballs, soccer balls, softballs, tennis balls, baseballs, footballs, reinforced water hose, limbs from a tree that fell during the storm, every door mat I own, and I'm down to one pair of flip flops! I buy rawhide rolls by the case and he still needs other things to chew on! Right now, he's working on a miniature tire. He's already chewed the seat off of Grayson's bicycle.

Post low on refrigerator door, at nose height:
Dear Dogs and Cats:
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Please note, placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a racetrack. Beating me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king-sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom. If by some miracle I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob, or get your paw under the edge and try to pull the door open. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years--canine or feline attendance is not required.
The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt I cannot stress this enough!
To pacify you, my dear pets, I have posted the following message on our front door:
To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit & Like to Complain About Our Pets:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. That's why they call it "fur"niture.
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, they are an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
Remember: Dogs and cats are better than kids because they:
1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3 Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and...
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.

Wags trailers makes a bigger trailer for larger dogs. We put a cooling pad in ours on warmer days and are getting a kooleraire (a 12v swamp cooler type thing. http://kooleraire.com/ ) for her today. Also putting a remote digital thermomiter in the trailer so I can keep an eye on the temps. while riding. Ruthie's not spoiled though.

Ruthie looks like she loves travelling with you. We in our home so understand that the dogs are not at all spoiled. I mean, you wouldn't do less for your Mother or your child, would you?
I mean, last holiday we left our Maggie Mae at the West Chester Pet Resort. http://westchesterpetresort.com/
My bill says that her Suite Dreams Vacation Package included a Waterfront Deluxe room with personal concierge service - relaxation, complimentary gourmet treats and snacks, in-suite food and beverage - twice a day, maid service 3 times daily, one-on-one daily activity for 30 minutes, and a Weekend Getaway/Suite Dreams. I got a camp report and there was a picture of the little slut, kissing one of the assistants. The report said she was a little shy, that she devoured her meals, she really enjoyed her hammock style bed and loved play time. We don't believe you can really spoil them at all. When I dropped her off they asked me where she normally slept. My look said it all - Where ever she wants.

Annie Bea and Springer got to spend the weekend in the Orange Beach Suite at Whitesburg Animal Hospital. We're picked them up at 4:30pm today. Annie Bea is going to have a complete spa treatment to include a bath, nail trim, muzzle and ear groom, and a full body massage. She gets this every time she goes there, and it does wonders for her near 10 year old body. Springer will get a nail trim, muzzle and ear groom, and a full body massage, but no bath.
Springer is having surgery as I type this note. 2 months ago, we noticed a small growth on his chest. We had it aspirated, and it was benign. Our vet wanted to let it go and see what happens. It got bigger, so we asked to have it removed. We're also going to have histopath done just to see what the heck it is.
Prayers for our Springer Boy, PLEASE! Thanks!

Annie Bea and Springer got to spend the weekend in the Orange Beach Suite at Whitesburg Animal Hospital. We're picked them up at 4:30pm today.

She gets this every time she goes there, and it does wonders for her near 10 year old body. Springer will get a nail trim, muzzle and ear groom, and a full body massage, but no bath.

Mickey the wonder dog is fine. Nothing unusual going on, but lately he seems to spend more time closer to me when I'm around the house so I pay more attention to him. He's a boxer/dalmation mix and will be 13 on July 4th. He might have been born on the 3rd or the 5th since the folks we got him from were away over the holiday when he was born. We got him when he was about 6 weeks old. Coolest dog I've ever had. Smartest too. And even now although he's quite old, he still likes to play a bit and gets moody if nobody pays him attention to him I can't imagine a time when he won't be there anymore so each day I spend with him now is precious. We don't own him of course, he owns us and not a day goes by that I am not thankful for being one of his humans. He is wise beyond measure, patient beyond reason, loving beyond comprehension and faithful beyond words. He is my best friend and I am his. He reminds me of the little boy in me and I love him very much.

Well said Brian. We can only strive to be the man our dogs think we are....... (forgot where I read that)

TREAT ME KINDLY
Treat me kindly, my beloved friend,
For no heart in all the world is more
grateful for kindness than the loving
heart of me.
Do not break my spirit with a stick,
For though I should lick your hand
between blows, your patience and
understanding will more quickly
teach me the things you would
have me learn.
Speak to me often, For your voice is
the world's sweetest music, as you must
know by the fierce wagging of my tail
when your footsteps fall upon my ears.
Please take me inside when it is cold
and wet, For I am a domesticated
animal, no longer accustomed to the
bitter elements. I ask no greater glory
than the privilege of sitting at your
feet beside the hearth.
Keep my pan filled with water, for I
cannot tell you when I suffer thirst.
Feed me clean food that I may stay well,
to romp and play and do your bidding,
to walk by your side, and stand ready,
willing and able to protect you with
my life, should your life be in danger.
And, my friend, when I am very old, and
I no longer enjoy good health, hearing
and good sight, do not make heroic
efforts to keep me going.
I am not having fun. Please see that my
trusting life is taken gently. I shall
leave this earth knowing with the last
breath I drew, that my fate was always
safest in your hand.
--- By Beth Norman Harris 1968 ---

:) It used to be in my signature. :) Although I do not lay claim to original thought. I forgot where I learned of it. Anyway..............
Springer is home and resting well. The vet took a huge hunk from his chest skin. Hopefully we'll have the pathology report by Friday. Poor guy was pretty loopy when I picked him up from the vet. That pain injection has him reeling from side to side. He looked like a drunk when he staggered out back to take a leak earlier this evening. He gobbled his supper with gusto, so it shant be long until he's back to normal. He and his sister are happy to be back home and have grounded Renea and me from travel until at least Maggie Valley. They're homebodies. It's good to have them home.

We have several good ones gathered over the years from our rescue work
The reason a dog has so many friends is because he wags his tail instead of his tongue.
Anybody who doesn't know what soap tastes like never washed a dog.

Well for a hmmn (looking for a polite word ) unenergetic pooch, she doesn't look fat at all. As a matter of fact, it was the lack of girth that had me thinking boxer. Then when you said English Bulldog I figured she must be real active. You should get ahold of Rob from Rob and Black and set her up with Meaty, Rob's bulldog LOL

Actually Bull Dogs have a very short energy shot. They are all muscle and want to run and play but there breathing is hampered by the snout and they can't get enough oxygen so they fall to the ground trying to get air.Kinda sad what we do to animals in our attempt to change them. She is a great dog , and a day doesn't go by that she doesn't make me laugh. As for her weight , most people way over feed there Bull Dogs , she Is quite fit and o so sexy. :bananarock:

Do not know, but sure is funny . I should probably buy a skate board for Ruby she might be able to do it , but she is quite refind so I am not sure .

I love being a Marine - 3rd Gen Naval service, 2nd Gen Marine and I am raising one who will be an amazing Marine, he is totally selfless - something that I think sets leaders apart from the rest. I have found if you look out for your Marines, always - they will go to extreme lengths to look out for you.

Here's our newest family member. He is a 16 Week old Australian Shepherd/Lab mix. He was found on the side of the road near Knoxville TN when he was about 4/5 weeks old. He came to us via a rescue agent that calls her group, Recycled Friends. He arrived on a transport on Saturday afternoon. Didn't take too long for him to settle in.
He came with the name Donovan, although it wasn't great we figured we'd just shorting it to Donny. So now we have a Donna, her father Donald and his new name sake Donny.
The company that I work for allows me to bring him to work with me. I set up a second crate at the office under my desk and today he spent the day at work. He sleep most of the morning and was pretty quiet until people would came in and got him fired up.
Just came back from a walk in the rain, he was running around like a mad man. He wasn't expecting that he'd need a bath when we got back. That wasn't something he enjoyed but had to be done. ;)
Here's a few pics. I'm a proud father again and this doesn't want to go to college...

Barbie Shoes, Power Ranger Weapons, Transformer Parts - and now Bionicles...that is what we find, the stray hair clip also. We should have named our numb nuts Hoover.

:D They do look like koala ears! and of course they drop down and perk up at every sound, such a goof ball. My last lab eat everything that wasn't moving too. Watching Christmas tinsel go through the system is always a favorite. I've been keeping an eye on this guy and he is very food motivated but doesn't seem to eat anything off the ground.

True but they are great dogs, I've had 3 lab mixes over the years. My Lab/German Shepard was the smartest. My sister's 100lb lab is the only one I've seen that needs a life vest to swim though. Big baby! :huepfenlol2: and of course my brother-law-takes a lot of heat for it. ;)

He is a goof ball. The ears kill me. Donna and I are really enjoying him. The cats on the other hand, well one of them is just trying to forget he moved in and the other wants to eat his food. Soon the cats will let him know this is their house and they just let the rest of us live here.

Now it's so easy to say "NO" to him. NO don't eat that! NO biting! NO barking! NO that's the cats food! NO don't lay in that puddle! NO litter box! :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

Forget about the litter box, Ed...it's like tootsie rolls to a dog. Just be happy you'll never have to clean out the box of cat chit ever again. ;D

:huepfenlol2: You're right. Disgusting. We moved it out his line of site. Luckily the cats can jump over baby gates.

Cause it's smelly and gross! We have Canadian Geese hanging out in the back yard with babies and they are leaving droppings everywhere, Jade eats those things up - GROSS - and then of course she wants to come and lick us. I guess it's better than her eating dead things or chewing up plastic stuff.

LOL - I had a black lab growing up who was a duck hunting machine. We lived on the eastern shore of VA and he would dive and roll in every pile of goose poop he could find.
It was irresistible to him. :nixweiss:

We have a new addition to our family. Terry rescued a stray Border Collie and his name is Matrix. He's been checked out by the vet and is in excellent health. It's obvious that he suffered some abuse. :'( The Aussies have accepted him as their brother. He's a very sweet dog and we're glad that he is no longer roaming the streets. :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks. He is a pretty dog.
We are really enjoying having him around and so glad that we were able to provide a good home for him. We would take in every stray if there was enough room. He's sharing a bedroom with our bird, Toby.

That poor dog.... :nervous:

Another picture of Matrix ... I'm not very good at taking pix or editing, but can you see the smile on his face? :)
-
That's a good-lookin' dog, right there. :2vrolijk_21: When I was a kid, I dreamed of having either a Sheltie or a Border Collie. Unfortunately, never have had the right setup in terms of a yard and place for a breed like that to run and exercise, so never had one, but still have a soft spot for them.
-

Toby has already told Matrix all about the bald headed guy. :D

We have a huge back yard and a large screened in porch with a ceiling fan. JestorDecor (Cheri) said our porch looks like a tree house. When the babies aren't running amuck in the yard, they're lying under the ceiling fan. The porch is in a shaded area, so they are very comfortable. At the end of the day it is interesting to see what treasure or critter they have brought to the porch from the yard.

Toby is camera shy. He's a beautiful bird and talks a lot. Quite entertaining. He's also a guard bird. His cage faces the front yard and if someone comes into the driveway or yard, he lets us know.

Congratulations on the new family member Diva. He looks great. Rescue dogs love us more, they never want to go back to that last life.
-
Matrix was dropped off at the Toyota dealership where Terry works. He knew a dog lover when he saw one and followed Terry around all day. Terry could tell that the dog had been abused, wore no collar, and was thin. Matrix is a smart dog ... he charmed Terry, didn't take much. :)

Matrix showed up at the Toyota dealership where I work last this past Saturday (thus the name). He was dirty, but did not look sick. Looked like he might have been in a dog fight. It was hot as hades on the lot, so I got him some water in a coffee cup. Later on, he got some chicken from a soft taco. Stayed around all day long, got wet in a toad strangler of a rain storm, but by the end of the day, if I was outside, he was somewhere near me. I just couldn't leave him in an empty car lot all night long by himself...guess he knew a sucker when he saw one. He slept out in the kennel dog house in the backyard that night, then went to the vet to get checked out, bathed, and shots. Got picked up Monday, and introduced to the other two dogs on my off day, Tuesday. He's adjusting well, and is a real sweetie...he doesn't quite know what to do with Rider and Tango, as they just want to play with him, but by now, at least he's not scared of them like he was. He's got a lot of Border Collie in him, though I don't think he's full blooded. Looks like he's about 3 or 4 years old, judging by his teeth. Will sit and lay down on command, but doesn't know his house manners yet.
I guess he's got a home now... ::)

Terry and Suzanne,
That's great that you took him in. Borders are a great breed and he's a good looking dog. I had one for my first dog a long time ago. Just have to keep them busy which I'm sure your other two will do once he settles in.
Best of luck with him!

Terry & Suzanne - Fine looking dog - love those border collie dispositions. Of course can tell Matrix will not be spoiled ::) and bet after a few weeks/months he adjusts very well to his new playmates & gets better manners.
Good of you to adopt/save a stray!
Very glad you did not decide to name him Keanu Reeves, but if he does come as he should when called as Matrix, Neo isn't such a bad name. ;D

A little double entendre never hurts, Mike. Matrix is doing well...less fearful of the Aussies WFO dispositions (they are only a year old, and still full of themselves), has adopted without a hitch to the crate at night, is eating well. Neutering will be the next step, but I want to get him back to full strength and disposition before I have that done. He's marked every vertical object in the back yard thus far, but don't need him doing that in the house. The neutering will help in that regard, plus a little training. He's a smart guy, so adapting won't be a problem. It might be a good thing for the other two heathens to be herded a bit... ;D He's getting his healthy coat chewables every night, so should be in great shape in a short time. Got to keep Borders busy, so Rider and Tango should be able to handle that job without an issue. Rider is only 17lbs, but is like a 17lb concrete block, and tough as a pine knot, so no worries about dominance issues thus far. I just have to maintain my Alpha status.

Terry,
Your post reminds me of back when I was raising bird dogs & a new one would upset the pack for a time. From several years time & space, I miss those days. At the time, it was a handful to keep order & your Alpha comment is the best way to do that. Usually they could tell by body language who was boss. You have a great dog there with Matrix - just needs some TLC.
-
He definitely will have TLC --- Terry's Loving Care :-*

Here's a couple pictures I took this morning. Just picked up a new camera, since the old one croaked. Annie Bea was filling her genetically ingrained "guard dog" role this morning........actually, that spot in the garage is her favorite when I'm out there.........and the Air Conditioner is running. :) Old Girl is gonna be 10 years old on 6 SEP, and she still acts like a puppy.
-
Other side. She's gettin' old. Her muzzle used to be black with just a little white blaze. Such a Good Girl!
-
Congratulations on the new Baby, Terry and Suzanne! Matrix looks like a fine, young, Gentleman. I'm certain he is integrating well into Casa Crain, and his Brothers and Sister will no doubt show and teach him the house rules, with Mr. Toby as the overseer. Best Blessings to the six of you.

Henry,
Annie Bea is one happy dog! Getting on up there in years for a larger breed.
Our Sophie has her favorite "cool spots" & during the day, she goes from one to the next in "her" house.

Mike,
Thank you! We've had her since she was no bigger than a loaf a bread...........7.5 weeks, and have known her since whelp day. Her Dam, named Missy, passed from cancer three years ago at 9. I have lost contact with her Sire's parent, Apache, but he would be 13 now, if my math is correct. We never submitted Annie Bea's registration, since we never planned to show or breed her. There's enough homeless pupz in the world without us adding to the problem. She was spayed at 5.5 months. She has survived cancer three times. She slipped her lead when she was 1.5, got hit by a truck, and survived that............after I rushed her to the vet and got stopped for doing 105mph enroute. She is the best Boxer we've had of the four with which we've been Blessed. She's slowed......................alot..................but she still acts like a puppy. She attacks the leaf blower, and loves to play and wrestle with Springer.
I know each day with her is a Blessing after all she has survived. I'm very thankful for that, and each day I thank God for giving Renea and me the honor of caring for one of God's TRUE angels. She's a big Girl, but she'll always be Mommy's and Daddy's Little Angel.

There is something special about a dog , and she is quite good looking . I have heard it said that there is no place in heaven for animals , I don't believe it to be true and if it is then I'm not going there if invited . I have a number of loved animals I am waiting to see again. :)

Matrix is very sweet and well behaved. He's still a little shy around the pups. Mr. Toby doesn't mind sharing his room with Matrix. All's well in the Crain Animal Kingdom. :)

Congratulations on the new addition. Just catching up on this thread and saw this. Really makes me feel good seeing you two share your hearts with another fine dog. I know you will have so many great experiences with Matrix and the rest of the crew. Just can't seem to get enough of our animals. The Border Collie sure shows and they are such fine animals and incredibly loyal. I just can't imagine how some people can neglect and abuse these ever loving beings. Enjoy Matrix and keep us posted on his progress.

Glad to see that other people really get it. She sure is a pretty gal and I know that you and Renea enjoy every day that you get to spend with her. Funny how she migrates to the cool spots. We have one of our Shelties, actually two of them, that are always laying across the floor registers when the A/C is on and other times just in case it kicks on. Hats off to you two for being fine parents!

Beautiful dog!
We have a black lab also - freakin moron. He eats anything and everything he sees - have already informed the spouse that he has a Do Not Resuscitate order on him if he eats something and chokes out.
He's the 4th lab I have owned, and by far the most knuckle-headed. Loves the kids tho, so I tolerate his stupidity. I bet he would fight to the death if someone laid a hand on them or my wife - I respect that.

Skye doesn't eat or chew anything - not bad for a 22 month old Lab. We can leave her in the house for hours on her own and she doesn't touch a thing. I think there is quite a difference between the American strain of labs and the English strain though.
Here's the first picture of her I posted on here 17 months ago.
-
I've got a lucky to be 15 month old, meat headed, American version of a black lab. Twice in the last three weeks while mowing the lawn and running over yesterday's dinner a sock has exploded from under the mower. There was no seeing it before hand. it was neatly sausaged in the defecation. I can't believe the colors I find when I'm mowing. She started last week biting the tops off the red flowers my wife planted two weeks ago. Thank heaven we have an invisible fence she respects greatly. She's showing an occasional glimmer of hope of being a future good pet. One funny thing is that I taught her early on that she can't eat until I say, "OK". One day she followed me into the bathroom because she didn't hear me. I said, "OK" and she took off for her food bowl. By the way, her name is Lucy.

Brian corrected me, Jade is now 68lbs - I think it's time to cut back on the food a little bit!!

We had a black lab as a kid - he chewed off a muzzle. He ate everything he could get his teeth around until he as about 4.
My brown was English background, smart as hell and total baby. Couldn't hunt worth a chit. Was afraid of ducks - tripped over quail and about fell on himself. My last yellow was gun shy. This one, I won't even try and train...he's a moron.
I need a pup, but no time soon.

Thanks, Craig...Matrix is doing well. He's eating like a horse, and putting some needed body weight back on with the flint river food. He quickly learned the two doggie doors, sleeps all night in his crate, but does not know what to do with his treats yet, unlike the other two!! He's adjusting well, but still hasn't figured out the two tasmanian devils yet.
Don't know how someone could have abandoned him, but he's got a home now :2vrolijk_21:

hey yall, hate to break up the party, but thought this important.
if you live in the southeast, beware the eastern diamond back. i am from louisiana and there are timber rattlers that are over 8 ft long, mocassins, copperheads etc: have never lost a dog to snake bite, nor known anyone that has-------the dog just swells and looks goofy for a few days.
until now. my american pit bull terrier, Ellie Mae Clampett, died. vet said no dobt she was bitten by the eastern diamondback. seems this snakes toxins are different. all muscle was a bad thing, he said she had no fat or loose skin so the strike was an imediate full dose.
henry has seen the results of this particular bloodline and would probably guess like i did--that a 30-06 wouldnt bring one down. WRONG!!!!!!!!! these are very dangerous snakes.
anyway, hoping i can save at one dogs life and lots of human tears if anyone in the southeast reads this.
-
Wow Dennis, sorry to hear that. Eastern Diamond Backs are not confined to the southeast. They can be found in he rugged areas as far north as NY. They are rather common in Pennsylvania. I guess I have little to worry about my invisible fence. Or I can fatten the dog up to give it a better chance of survival.

thanks, one time i was not with her. i had perimeter trained her, so she would make rounds on about 20 acres of the 103 we live on. wife let her out for the morning and she wasnt back in 30 minutes, usually took 15 minutes. i searched and yelled------nothing. got on bike and rode all the dirt roads thinking maybe she broke perimiter and chased a deer. well around 3:30 PM, i got on the tractor and made a search grid, found her on the perimeter fence line across the corn field--------only 150 yds from home (sob). the vet comfirmed the rattler bite, i was loading guns, gonna shoot the sumbitch that shot my dog, but i had seen the markings and was just angry.
she was very special, always playing practical jokes on me and would grab her frisbee when ups delivered. ups dude could not leave till he let her catch the frisbee about 20 times.
sorry---- getting off track, i just wanted to prevent another useless death with the warning of this snake.

I'm so sorry about the loss of your beloved Ellie Mae.
"Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to
someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are
meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they
can run and play together. There is plenty of food,
water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and
comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to
health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made
whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our
dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy
and content, except for one small thing; they each miss
someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when
one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her
bright eyes are intent; Her eager body quivers. Suddenly
she begins to run from the group, flying over the green
grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special
friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous
reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain
upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved
head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of
your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent
from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...."

That's a pretty good poem. Hopefully it will be true when the time comes. Sitting here catching up on the thread, listening to the radio. Pirates of the Mississippi "Feed Jake" just came on. Kind of tough to type at this point. Tough to understand why life has to take the critters we care about from us when there's no reason.

It is very hard to understand why life has to take the critters from us, but the good thing is that there are more critters to care for. Terry and I lost two pups within 3 weeks last November. In December, two 6 month old babies, Tango and Rider, arrived for us to love. Two weeks ago Matrix found his way into Terry's heart, and now we have him to love as well. Three dogs and one bird reside at the Crain household. They all provide lots of daily smiles for us. :)

Red, I am so sorry for your loss of Ellie. Snake bite eh? I never would have guessed, and I know we have a lot of snakes in our back 80 - 200 +- acres. Not ours, but we back up to it.

Akita's are a Japanese breed. They are incredibly strong. We have had three GS's and three Akita's over the years. The Akita's rule the dog world at our house. The Shepherds are smart enough to know when to stop. They are very gentle with kids, very protective of their home and very smart. For as large as they are, they are quick. No chipmunks or squirrels in our yard. The males averate 130lbs., the females 110lbs. They are a confident breed, but obedient. Great dogs...

My very first dog that I could call my own was a short hair, Got her for free as she had a lot of black in her coat. With the white mixed in she almost looked blue.
She had a white spot on her head that was a perfect diamond shape, so she was aptly named "Diamond"

Scott, both pups are great looking. My last dog was a Lab/GSD mix. Super dog, smart, easy going. great with my kids when they were little. Her biggest offense was knocking glasses off the coffee table with her tail.

thanks for that shot. blueticks in love!!!!!!
Actually GSP (German Shorthair Pointers) great dogs.....lots of energy
I had another set Kellie and Kody over 16 years ago and I lost one to ethyl Glycol poisoning (Anti freeze)
What a Tragedy.........had a basketball hoop/net and filled with water to anchor it.
put anti freeze in the closed tub to keep from freezing...........
apparently sometime over the winter the top split and Kellie was able to consume enough to kill her.
needless to say that was disposed of and a $1000,00 vet bill and a dead dog.
Really a bad time for the whole family........
took many years before we could get another dog

You have to love those deep chested skinny dogs
they are graceful and have tons of energy
their endurance is endless......talk about a true Marine.....those dogs are incredible
I had a very large aggressive lab attack my dogs (mine were under my control) I released them so they would have a chance to get away and after
about a half hour of him chasing them, he fell over exhausted
my dogs thought he was just playing............he would have torn them apart if he could had caught them......

I am not so sure about the "not as Regal" part
Greyhounds were dogs of the Pharaohs not many as Regal as those
My dogs were just Germans Being Germans wanting an versatile gun /bird dog that would retrieve and would hunt all day long and none of that long hair
mess to clean up........they were strictly function......form was a bonus

Don...that position is a Greyhound thing, regardless of size. Shug used to lay exactly like that. They don't like their boney legs touching the surface of much of anything, so they try to lay on their backs, but can't because they aren't wide enough...so the head and neck has to prop the rest of 'em up. No sweeter animal in this world, and not a day goes by I don't miss my Shug.
Matrix is doing great though, despite being harassed by the two Terriers. Somebody got a rat today and brought it up on the porch, so the two tasmanian devils are doing what they were born to do, despite living in the lap of luxury.
Give Diz a hug from all of us...

I just chuckle whenever she does it too. The two IG's I've had all did it just as you describe. Mom's do too. For the life of me I can never decide if they look so comfortable they just can't move anymore or look they can't find a spot. But when they get it right they're dead to the world. World's fastest couch potatos need their beauty sleep :drink: .

Red, my friend, Suzanne missed a perfectly good photo op with the dead rat on the porch...she was so grossed out, she scooped the thing up in a dust pan and threw him over the fence. Rider (the male Aussie Terrier) wanted to keep playing with it. They are born and bred ratters, and will also go after a snake, even if it means their own demise. Your baby probably was doing the same thing...protecting you. Hopefully she got the best of the rattler before it got the best of her. I've read a few stories about the Austrailian Terriers doing the same thing with the snakes in their home country. Fearless are the Terriers, yet sweethearts at the same time, if they are raised right.
The rat was laying on it's back with it's mouth open...my babies thought it was a stuffed toy, so were tossing it about. So far...rats 0, chipmunks 0...Rider and Tango 2 :2vrolijk_21:

He's so busy gobbling down his food that he doesn't think about the little guys and they're busy eating their food. The first night and next day that he was here he wouldn't eat dog food. We think he may have been accustomed to eating scraps. Once he got used to eating the Flint River Ranch dog food, he loves it! He eats 2 cups a day. The little guys can stand on their tippy toes and drink from Matrix water bowl but can't reach into his food bowl.

Or makes it so they disperse their droppings in a wider area of impact... My lab can drink a few laps, and leave a puddle twice the size of the bowl, I think it's a mathematical equation... Height or size of the bowl x size of the dog = area to step in with socks on squared.

Corgi's? Or Pembrokes? Great dogs, but man do they have some undercoat!! Nice pics, buddy!!
Molly is a Welsh Corgi, very hairy, she was not built to live in SoFlo. She'll get a shave soon and that makes her happy, foolish looking but happy, like she is wearing some Dr. Denton jammies on, because her undercoat is white, I'll post soke when she gets a cut. Good dog, hand signal command and loves little kids.

Tag team, the best home defense :2vrolijk_21:
Worked on a remodel project at a local correctional facility years back. A lot of small time B&E guys. One of the inmates explained to us that one dog didn't bother them but they always stayed clear of two.

We've quit buying stuffed animals for the babies. They're not satisfied until they remove the squeaker and stuffings. I chased Rider around the living room one day trying to remove a squeaker from his mouth. He was biting down on it so it was pretty amusing except I feared he would swallow it.

Terry was at work but I was on the phone with my daughter and I kept hearing the constant squeak. I looked at Rider, and the squeaker was barely inside his mouth (you had to be there). He would bite down on it and it would squeak. I immediately told my daughter that I had to attend to Rider and laid the phone on the couch. She could hear me as I crawled on the floor and was repeatedly saying, "Rider, give the squeaker to Mama". I could hear her laughing hysterically on the phone. Rider played that little game with me and I finally got it out of his mouth. You are right ... it would have made a great video! :D
My daughter totally understood as my granddogs immediately kill the stuffed animals when they get new ones. Speaking of my granddogs and my daughter, pix are to follow.

Keep those critters AWAY from me...I'm not askeered of snakes, if I see them first, but that scorpion and spider...just keep those things inside their tank!!! :nervous: :nervous:

Miker Are those your pets ,and do they live in the same house ?

They were at one time, Morty and Steve have passed on, Ella got sold and something else ate the scorpion, I think. They were the kids pets a few years ago.
When my daughter was a small girl, she made the Steve Irwin guy look silly. It was "lookie" what I trapped, caught, chased down or whatnot, a complusion to hold animals... There are all sorts of critters down here...
Many exotic critters have passed through the house, some still live in the neighboorhood.
We still have "Sticky" some kind of airbreathing fish and Gaks the Geko, 4 dogs, 8 cats 2 rabbits and some lucky rats that never got fed to the snakes... :-X

Cool looking Gecko...
Just three dogs and a Blue Crowned Conure (bird) in my home right now, though if I could afford it, I'd have this young Sun Conure they have at a local pet supply store right now. Used to have cats, but the last one passed about 4 years ago, and don't want any more 'cause they kill the birds in the back yard. The Terriers would too if they could climb trees...anything on the ground stands no chance, so all the squirells stay up in the canopy and jump from limb to limb, with the Terriers keeping them all "treed".
Never had a desire for a snake...they get too big. Some of the lizards are cool though,but with the dogs, they'd never stand a chance.
That big a$$ed spider can stay away though...spiders give me the heebiejeebies.

I could say that about our fish! I can say that it I ever found a spider that size in my cloths I would make such a mess it would be declared a hazardous waste site. :nervous:

Had fish too, well, we are down to one live coral reef tank...Steve the spider would have taken quite a smack to spatter at 8 inches long, he was a biggin! An if he had bitten it would have hurt as his fangs were almost 1/2 inch long but he was very docile as most big spiders are.
Little wolfs spiders are fast and mean, the bite is very painfull, the black widows too, which we have outdoors down here.
The pygmy rattlers and deadly coral snake are all wild here.
Pythons are starting to breed wild, they are going to be a problem. anything that goes after gators , is well, mean

Last evening was a sad night around here. When we all got home from the aquarium, our eldest cat, Cindy, who's 19 years old was really having a hard time. Her kidneys started giving her problems quite some time ago and things weren't getting any better for her.
We took her over to the emergency vets for some fluids to help out with her dehydration and it just wasn't going to work. We knew it was the right decision to make, so we decided to have her put down last night.
She was a great girl and I've had her since she was a kitten. She outlasted her brother by almost 8 years. Here are a few pictures of her posted earlier.
We love you Cindy, RIP. (July 1989 - August 17, 2008)

Chuck,
Sorry to hear about your and Pinkie's loss. I know how you feel bro. We had to put one of our babies down for the same reason, and it's never easy. I know Cindy had a good life because she had a great "mom and dad". You'll always have her in your hearts, so she'll never totally be gone.
:devil:

Myself and Schmoops offer our condolences.

I'm very sorry for your loss, Chuck. She looks like a hell of a cat and her living 19 years is a testament to how well she was taken care of.
She'll always be alive in your heart, memories, and stories.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow
Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to
someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are
meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they
can run and play together. There is plenty of food,
water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and
comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to
health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made
whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our
dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy
and content, except for one small thing; they each miss
someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when
one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. Her
bright eyes are intent; Her eager body quivers. Suddenly
she begins to run from the group, flying over the green
grass, her legs carrying her faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special
friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous
reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain
upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved
head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of
your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent
from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
Chuck and Pinkie, I'm So Sorry About the Loss of Your Beloved Cindy.

You can protect the United States of America from all enemies foreign and domestic and can't take off a few days in September to meet a group of people that would enjoy the honor and privilege to meet a member of this site that is also a United States Marine.

I deal it and take it... current favorite is Miker though, and that's just cause he did me a huge favor and I am showin him the love!
I am TAD from the 5th to the 15th right now at a conference for the Marine Corps to finally get rid of the ANCHOR that is the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (google that if you ever want to see fraud waste and abuse in action)
Then I have to go to a very tedious conference in ORLANDO FLORIDA, they are dragging me there kicking and screaming in Oct... That two weeks of time off will cost me a number of 8pm nights in between.
Getting a weekend off in there is tough, next year is more feasible when I go back to the Supporting Establishment in Quantico and out of the frying pan that is the Operating Forces here in Lejeune.

Sorry to here about the loss. Just remember what a great life you provided her. :'(
Here is a little story to help cher you up:
:)
RABBIT HASH, KY (AP) - Following the death of its mayor, the small northern Kentucky town of Rabbit Hash is preparing to elect a new leader.
The only candidate so far is a border collie named Lucy Lou.
The situation isn't unusual for the Boone County town. The former mayor was a black labrador retriever named Junior Cochran, who died May 17 after serving since 2004.
The Kentucky Enquirer reported on its Web site Thursday that the Rabbit Hash Historical Society has scheduled voting to begin August 31st and end November 4th, with voters paying $1 per vote.
Proceeds benefit the historical society.
According to the Web site http://www.rabbithash.com, candidates for the office may be humans or animals but not ducks or geese.
Voting will be online at www.rabbithashusa.com or at the Rabbit Hash General Store.

It was a great weekend. :2vrolijk_21: We got to the lake late Saturday afternoon and came home this afternoon. There were only about 3 hours of sunshine ... that's when we went boating. It was very relaxing sitting on the screened in porch listening to the rain and enjoying the babies. :)

Plasmaman and Bubba, not your normal pet or person. We found 2 of these little guys abandoned. One died but we raised Bubba to release age and let him go do his possum thing here on our 27 acres. He stayed around for some time and eventually took off in search of love. He was a really fun little critter.

Found three of those in the back yard a few months ago. Their mom was around so we let them be.

Bubba when we first found him. He is in Abby's hand. Dogs had chased the mother and the babies fell off of her.

Yep, it's a Tilley....vented model. I've got another just like it, but unvented.

After months of mulling and thinking and.......well, we've been wanting a third Boxer. We found her. Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the newest CVO Boxer:
EVO

-
What a beautiful puppy.
-

Fine lookin' pup.... holy crap ya'll got ur hands full now :huepfenlol2:
-
Evo was born on 14 Jul 2008. She came to her forever home today. She's a wonderful little Girl. Annie Bea and Springer have welcomed her in as their own. It is so nice to have the pitter pat of little puppy paws around the house again.
-
Annie Bea and Evo

Last one for now. We'll post more later. Having to much fun being a Boxer Puppy Dad again. :2vrolijk_21:

Congrats Henry that is one very cute puppy. :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:
-
What a beautiful puppy.
Thanks. The last time we had one this little was almost ten years ago when Annie Bea came to us. She wasn't any bigger than a loaf of bread. Neither is Evo.
-
Fine lookin' pup.... holy crap ya'll got ur hands full now :huepfenlol2:
Thanks Howie. She is a looker; that's for sure. Boxers keep you on your toes. They're much like Rotts.........very smart! Always have to have something interesting for them to do. They aren't retrievers, so repetitious activities like ball fetching and frisbee catching don't cut it. Long walks down multiple paths with new things along the way sharpen their minds. Evo is an intelligent little Girl. She fits just fine around here. I figure if I surround myself with intelligence, that makes me intelligent by proxy. :huepfenlol2:
-
Congrats Henry that is one very cute puppy. :2vrolijk_21: :2vrolijk_21:
Thanks, Mark. We've been looking for awhile. Evo is the one. She really hates her collar tho'. Keeps scratching at it. She may end up like Annie Bea and be collarless. Springer, on the other hand, can't stand it when we take his collar off. He'll paw ya and grunt until you put it back on him. Hopefully she'll get used to it.
Here's a picture of Evo crashed out on her big sister.

Thanks, Ken.
She slept ALL night her first night home. Woke up when I did. Took her outside, and she was good little Girl. Wasn't too interested in breakfast. Wanted to go back to sleep. The other Boxers, or course, are on their routine.
We'll get little Evo to our vet this morning, get her checked out and complete her next series of puppy shots.

Whether bipedal or quadpedal.......they grow up so fast. Stef is well into her first semester at UAH. Sooner than I can blink, she'll, no doubt, be doing great things here in Huntsville.
Little Evo won't be "little" for long. You are so right. Pictures stop time.......even for a brief moment......so we can reflect and remember. Thanks, Mark.
-
AAWWWWWWW.... fantastic pics and Mark is SO right. That pic is fantastic!! She's a gorgeous girl (and the pup is too!!) ;)
HHMMMMM.... Ken got a truck *ponders the options of what I get in trade* hahaha
Congrats thumpers!!! I'm super happy for ya!! I can't wait to get a chance to meet her too!
How did you finally come up with her name?? I likes it!!

Engine type in the Sportster. Fits her.
Just got back from the vet. She got her 8 week shots. Fecal showed roundworms.......typical for puppies..........so Kayla loaded her up with Strongid, and gave us a syringe full to take home and give in two weeks. Any minute now, she's gonna go outside and drop a huge load. She's really an active little squirt. She's wanting to play, afraid she's gonna miss something, but when she sits, her eyes get heavy and she starts to fall asleep. I think once she goes outside and makes her heavy drop, she'll crash hard. She's had alot of excitement in the past 18 hours. She's goes to see Kayla again on 27 SEP for booster shots. Heartworm preventative begins in one month. We'll spay her and implant a microchip in January. Healthy pup!

Great looking pup Henry. Congratulations!
Ditto Henry. She looks like a lot of fun.

Buy the RV, take the pooches with you, everybody goes to the area you want to ride in. Then ride the with day trips, leaving said pooches in RV. You get to ride, they get to ride and they get proper care. Win, win, win!

It is tough to leave them when there are health issues, know how you feel. We have a 12 yr old lab "Bonnie" that is on borrowed time, then that dang cat "Sparkey" that lost half of it's face,and Sparkey's brother Grouchy, then there is "Barney" the 3 yr old "Brat Bastard" he large and in charge (he thinks). We have a good friend that stays at the house and watches the animals for us, and keeps Barney in line.

I understand. We had a diabetic Aussie Terrier and were fortunate that TC's niece is a vet tech and lives 2 miles away. She gave Nell shots and fed and played with her and the greyhound. Both of them passed last November. :'(
The good thing about where we board is that it is at our veterinarian's office and they're very well taken care of. Also, TC's niece works there. :2vrolijk_21:

Amen to that. It's pouring outside again right now. Even had a bit of hail mixed in earlier. Rained all day too. More coming up from the south in a few days to keep up the soggy good cheer. I bailed on Hot Springs so REALLY looking forward to MV.
Red bike gets a new bike tire next week so I can pick either bike for the ride. The SERG got its new handlebars and grip heaters last week so they really are interchangeable beasties now.
Had planned to wait on the bars for some nasty day this winter. But a shop one day's mail away had some at a really good price and my patience broke. So it's good to go.

Evo will be 10 weeks old on Monday. She's adjusted very well to her new home, and there's plenty going on around here. We're painting the entire interior of our home. Renea is redecorating. Work. Stef is taking a full load of classes at UAH. We're plenty busy.......but Little Evo is doing so well with all the hustle around here. She's already learned to run to a human when she needs to go outside. Smart Boxer!
-
Looks like Evo is adapting well to the new environs, as is Springer. Is she a dark brindle? Looks like it from the pics...always interesting to add a new member to the pack. Matrix has been good for Tango and Rider, and he's a sweet boy...knew a sucker when he saw him ;)

Renea and I have had at least one Boxer since we've been married. We've had 5 now since Evo came to us. Sassy Girl and Drake were our first Boxers. Both were brindle. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I've been told the term "reverse brindle" is a misnomer. Evo's breeder termed her a reverse brindle. Although she is very dark, like all Boxers, besides the whites, her base color is fawn. Her brindling (stripes) is so tight that it appears her base color is black with fawn stripes, thus leading one to term her as reverse brindle. She's simply a brindle Boxer.
Be all that mumbojumbo as it may, she's a terrific little Girl. Springer adores her. Annie Bea scoffed at first, but is quite protective of her. She's much older, and can't really keep up with Evo. Evo is FAST. It's so much fun to watch Springer and Evo play. They're a joy to have.
-
Evo spent a good bit of today out back playing with Springer. They've been scuffling over a tennis ball. She's wore slap out.

Could you do this?
It is a rhetorical question, as I know everyone here would not.
As some of you know, we do Golden Retriever Rescue work.
While I was in Maggie Valley my wife got a call about a Golden who was abandoned in North Jersey.
Turns out this pup is not 100% Golden (one of our requirements) but she pulled him from the shelter anyway.
Estimates are he is between 8-12 years old.
Obviously housetrained, walks great on a leash and has the sweetest temperament. We are in the process now of having blood work done along with a few of our normal procedures. His inital vet visit is promising.
He was terribly matted, smells awful, teeth are thoroughly disgusting and could hardly walk.
After cutting out many urine soaked mats he is able to walk quite fine.
At only 36 pounds he is a tiny one, but what a sweetheart.
How could anyone keep a dog for so long and then just abandoned them, it is very sad.
I don't think his sight or hearing is very good, but when he heard my neighbor the other day (sitting in his car while taking to my wife) the pup perked up and nearly dragged my wife to their house. It is obvious the dog relates to our neighbors voice and is probably thinking "hey my master came back for me"
It is so hard wondering what goes through the minds of the dogs we work with, being dumped, maybe abused, thrown in a shelter, if lucky adopted out or picked up by a rescue group. And even if a rescue group comes along typically one person will evaluate and pull the dog, then to a foster home and then hopefully to a forever home. It has to be so confusing to the animals.
We are trying to figure out why this guy is eating dirt in the yard. Best guess is he went long enough without food (he is underweight even for his size) that even dirt tasted good.

Our work although very rewarding is very sad and at times emotional.
The 3 fosters we had this past year came close to never leaving. My wife fell in love with each of them.

Duane...great work you are doing. And no, I don't understand how people can be so cruel to creatures who can give so much, and ask for so little in return. If I were King, these people would suffer equally or greater.
I hope you find a nice home for this boy...he has a sweet face, and would make someone a great companion in his final years. If I could, I'd have 100 of them...

People who abuse animals and children, who can't defend themselves, are the lowest of life forms. There's no politics involved there, and let's not interject any.

Frankly, it's not limited to animals and children. Any abuse or terrorism should be treated the same. It's not politics, it's humanity!!! So as I said strange logic there!!! :nixweiss: :nixweiss: :nixweiss:

It was not made to arouse emotions. It was just staing a known fact. I guess because I'd prefer this place to be about motorcycles and their technical and social aspects, and stated same publicly, then I'm not permitted any political opinions! Maybe I'll stick to that since mine vary so much from some others around here. But there's breaking the rules, and there's cencorship. You walk that fine line. That's your job. But ya don't always get it right!

I would love to have a dog, grew up with one that I loved as if it were my own but, i know our lifestyle, and it would be mistreating one knowing that Anne and I work too many hours to treat a dog the way it should be treated.
So we have Brisco, loves us, hates all others, can be left alone a day or two even with his required thyroid medicine. The petsitter, works at the vet, said he has his good days and not so good days when she comes over while on we are vacation.
he was so happy to see me monday...I did not get a good nights sleep.
Kathy, Anne wanted me to pass on that I took Brisco to the vet today. The vet said it went ok, so that was good enough for me...but not enuf facts for Anne!
I should have learned from Brian and had them write everything down!

He is a beautiful dog!! I don't think you will have any problems finding him a home. I commend you both on the work that you do. I would be like Deb and want to keep every one of them. It's so horrible what people do to animals and children for that matter.

Looks like he hit the wall at about 50mph. :huepfenlol2:

Could you do this?
It is a rhetorical question, as I know everyone here would not.
As some of you know, we do Golden Retriever Rescue work.
While I was in Maggie Valley my wife got a call about a Golden who was abandoned in North Jersey.
Turns out this pup is not 100% Golden (one of our requirements) but she pulled him from the shelter anyway.
Estimates are he is between 8-12 years old.
Obviously housetrained, walks great on a leash and has the sweetest temperament. We are in the process now of having blood work done along with a few of our normal procedures. His inital vet visit is promising.
He was terribly matted, smells awful, teeth are thoroughly disgusting and could hardly walk.
After cutting out many urine soaked mats he is able to walk quite fine.
At only 36 pounds he is a tiny one, but what a sweetheart.
How could anyone keep a dog for so long and then just abandoned them, it is very sad.
I don't think his sight or hearing is very good, but when he heard my neighbor the other day (sitting in his car while taking to my wife) the pup perked up and nearly dragged my wife to their house. It is obvious the dog relates to our neighbors voice and is probably thinking "hey my master came back for me"
It is so hard wondering what goes through the minds of the dogs we work with, being dumped, maybe abused, thrown in a shelter, if lucky adopted out or picked up by a rescue group. And even if a rescue group comes along typically one person will evaluate and pull the dog, then to a foster home and then hopefully to a forever home. It has to be so confusing to the animals.
We are trying to figure out why this guy is eating dirt in the yard. Best guess is he went long enough without food (he is underweight even for his size) that even dirt tasted good.
What a sweetie. When Terry brought Matrix home, it was obvious that he had been abused and perhaps a street dog. He wouldn't touch dry dog food and it took a few days for him to start eating. I think he was eating off the street or table scraps from his former owners. Now he inhales his food.
Matrix seems so grateful to have a home. He puts his head on Terry's knee and looks at him with such love.

While in Maggie Valley my wife did an eval and pulled a Golden from a shelter. Had been there 3 weeks, don't know how long he was wandering around before being picked up - some people just plain suck.
Anyway, he stunk to high heaven, but his first vet visit was good.
So the old man goes into our rescue program and after two and a half weeks at our house I get to take him to a foster home in the Catskills.
4.5 hour ride for me (one way), and after the two weeks I spent with him I almost turned around a thousand times.
This little brat did this for most of the trip!

If he wasn't staring at me he was looking out the window.
It is sad to think what must be going through these poor animals minds.

When I win the lottery I will have a farm full of 'em!

Hi Susanne - I truly believe that when you "rescue" one of these pups that eventually the dogs truly understand what you did for them.
As much as the dogs in our lives give us the "unconditional love" that we get, I believe it is multiplied with a rescued dog.
The big news this week if Gov Randell, PA, signed into law a bill the protects the animals in the Penna puppy mill problem. :2vrolijk_21:
Maybe in the future our work will slow down.

I read that, Duane...fantastic news!! Now, if we could shut some more of them down.
I've had a few dogs "retire" to my house over the years...people don't generally give dogs much credit for thinking, but I swear, I honestly believe these rescue dogs appreciate the kindness.

I have always had Chocolate labs, my last female died 2 summers ago three days before she would have been 15 years old. At the time I also had a male 195 pound Great Dane. He passed at 10 years old this past May. In July after much research for another Lab, I put a deposit down for an up coming litters female yellow lab. We should be getting her between Christmas and New Years.
The wife and I are very anxious to get her. This is the first time in 20 plus years I have not had a dog in the house. Went with the lab becuase we live on the lake. Will probably get another dane in two years to go with the Lab. My last lab taught my dane to love the water.

My best buddy Mickey The Wonder Dog is 1/2 Dalmation and 1/2 Boxer. Even at 13 he's still going strong and busts off a sprint every now and then. When he was younger running free at the family place on Sebago Lake, he had a buddy that was a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Ridgebacks are said to have incredible stamina. Mickey used to run him into the ground. I don't know which 1/2 made him the energizer dog, but I sure wish I had somehow let him find a mate and have pups. Gonna be a sad day when he's laid to rest beside that big lake in Maine.

When he was younger running free at the family place on Sebago Lake, he had a buddy that was a Rhodesian Ridgeback. Ridgebacks are said to have incredible stamina. Mickey used to run him into the ground. I don't know which 1/2 made him the energizer dog, but I sure wish I had somehow let him find a mate and have pups. Gonna be a sad day when he's laid to rest beside that big lake in Maine.

1/2 dalmatian & 1/2 boxer - interesting cross. Do you have any pics? Ridgebacks do have a lot of stamina - Mickey was/is a strong one.
My best buddy - a Brittany - was laid to rest a while back. Still hurts too much to talk about him. Darn good dog & don't think there will ever be another even close.

I should of know you were a "lab" guy Nige. We just put down our third one this past summer. Great animals all the way around. We miss her.

I miss my Great Dane...Annabelle Lee...when I went to look at the puppies, she jumped out of the pen and put her paw on my foot...I put her back, she jumped out and did the same thing again...so I took her home. She was a great companion...

That's all I have ever owned, black when I was a kid, brown after that. My wife and I had our "first" dog, a yellow female tore my heart out when I had to put her down in 2006, and our current knucklehead a black spaz/male about 2 years old.
They are great dogs, love my kids and are just all around friendly.
-
They sure are great dogs, though I think ours are a little less destructive than th North American variety. It's true what you all say about them breaking your heart when they go. My last one - Jaz - died when she was 13, I was away at the time and I cried like a baby when I was driving back to the house knowing she wouldn't be there to greet me. I guess it's that unconditional love thing.
Here's another of Skye.

Handsome pooch Nige....
I cuss mine daily but will miss them when they are gone.
Now the effin cats on the othere hand....

You can always use 'em as bait. Cat's are tough, you can't even give the bad ones away. I'd pay someone to take mine. Our black lab Lucy, on the other hand, is finally coming into her own after 18 months.

They come with Schmoops...I can be home all day and not see one, as soon as she comes in the door the fur balls are everywhere...

She is a 7 week old black lab that is a cutie, she has yet to start her 2 year chew and destroy everything phase but she will just like her older brothers.

Because of her color, I though about naming her 110, she looks like she is covered with old hot oil and she leaks. ;D ;D

What was the name of the black lady that cooked for Elvis and his family after he passed until her recent death ? I believe she was the one that came up with those insane fried banana sandwiches he was said to have loved
Maybe a good name for new pooch ?

Looks like the pooch is already named Colby. Hopefully they share the same the same name. Although we changed a dog's name we got at 6 mos old and she didn't even know it.

Good question, I remember she was famous for her fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. On a side note, I heard once from a reliable source that they were really fried peanut butter, banana and MAYONNAISE sandwiches. :-X

We lost Bonnie on Nov 25. She was 12, had health issues, and hip displasia(sp) from 6 months on. She adapted and had a great life, we'll miss her. She showed no sign of passing till the last hour. We were very sad but both realized it was better, she had been on borrowed time for awhile.
I'm sure we'll be looking for a new pup this spring.

Been awhile since Harley and Annie have said hello to everyone, so Merry Xmas one and all.
Annie has been on a thyroid regimen and diet and is sitting at 65 lbs. now down from 90 or so. Wish I could take the thyroid pill she does. :xmas:
-
One of my pups.
Every year when doing the leaves I like to make piles for them to play around in for a day or two.
They love chasing the tennis balls into the piles and they find the ball about 99% of the time, even when they don't find it they don't give up.
Sometimes I have to go in the pile with a "hidden" TB and pretend to find it.

It is amazing how quickly dogs can recover from surgery. I'll bet he is feeling good and ready for action in a day or two... I sure hope everything comes out alright. God Bless.... :2vrolijk_21:
-
because of the location they want us to keep him from moving around as much as possible for the next 10 days. not gonna be easy. just took him out on a leash to take a leak and he was jumping up at the leash before i could even clip it on.
hes got around 20 staples in there :nervous:
-
Here's a pic of my baby!!
-
Neal, we have had good luck using a heavy towel and tape. I see they may be a problem with your pups surgery. But maybe it will work for you.
THe towel is wrapped just tight enough to keep the head from turning too much, and it beats walking in doors and such with the cone.
-
Neal,
What did your vet say the cone was going to do for Tazz?? While he can't lick it- not like he could lick that area much anyway- he can certainly scratch the hell out of it. Besides getting you for another $35, (and really pissing Tazz off!), what good is the cone doing???!!!???
Here's hoping you get good news and Tazz heals quickly.

if nothing else its slowing him down. cant run around without hitting the cone on stuff. and right now we need to keep him moving around as little as possibe

Neal...hope Tazz is feeling better and back to himself as quickly as possible. They do hate the cones though...I think they're embarassed as much as anything.
-
i know id be embarrased if i had to wear one... but he will have a nice scar thats got to win him some points back with the ladies :nixweiss:
-
Neil & Sue, the picture of Tazz breaks my heart, I'm sure not as much as yours. I hope for a good outcome for Tazz. His spirits look good. I love it when the Vet says you need to keep them quite and no running around (ha ha).
-
at least he isnt trying to climb trees anymore
-
always expected to find him stuck up there one day
-
Those lamp shades are tough. Specially when they try to sniff the ground in the winter and come in with it full of snow. Coming up the steps with the head down it is a battle too. By the time they get the hang of it, it's time for the cone to come off.
-

That is funny, never seen a dog climb a tree. He wants a tree fort, so he has a good perch to watch over the yard.

Me too. I nearly crapped myself first time I looked in here after Neal posted his dog's video. Hate ad space that intrudes in to work area without it being selected to do so or audio that plays without being played. And little blue haired old ladies in the market who think you're going to get something they want and smash you with their shopping cart. And bad drivers. And stupid people. In fact I REALLY hate stupid people. And veggie lasagna. And the cost of popcorn at the fracking movie theater. Probably other things too. But that's all that comes to mind at the moment.

One question. How's their ears after a long ride..........or do you have a quiet exhaust system? Just askin'. I'd love to be able to bring one of the CVO Boxers along for a ride, but I fear they'd be freaked out after a short while.

staples are supposed to come out tomorrow but not sure, seems to have sprung a leak

Do anybody have a bag for a small dog for putting above the tank , which is save while riding with the bike and does fit a SERG ?
I saw the http://www.bagster.com/de/showroom.php?id=77 (http://www.bagster.com/de/showroom.php?id=77) but i do not know whether this one fits and the shop do not order just for testing it ( only when you will buy it - pffft ) .
The dog is a small one with 3500 g .

Not bad from what I understand, it's very well insulated. Melanie rode in it when we first got it (no pics) and said it wasn't bad. I did change my pipes from a 2 into 1 to the yule bros. freedome pipes. Stock pipes would be no problem at all. It's made by Wags pet trailers and if you give them a call they can hook you up with someone in your area who has one and if you are lucky like we were, they will give your boxer a ride in it. PM me if you want any specifics. they even make a larger unit for larger dogs.
-
Neal,
Looks like it's healing well. Staples all leak some in pooches. I expect he was climibing trees and bumped it causing the leak. They will also psuedo-infect like Don's pointed out. Typically as soon as you take them out, the "infection" goes away.

Do anybody have a bag for a small dog for putting above the tank , which is save while riding with the bike and does fit a SERG ?

Here is a link to another bag for dogs made by t bags. It fits in the rear of the bike though. Also look up beastmasters for a hard version of the same.

Mickey the wonder dog has a very swollen tip of one ear. He yelps when you do anything more than just very very gently touch it. We called the vet and they said it's probably a hematoma and they'll have to lance the ear to drain the blood. It's caused by him shaking his head excessively which is a habit he's developed of late. Evidently when he shakes his head, the ends of his ears snap and it breaks blood vessels because of his age (13) Have any of you had this happen with your dogs ? If so, what did you do. I mean ok, so the vet lances it and drains it tomorrow, then what ? Just worried about my best buddy is all. I can't bear to see him in any discomfort at all. I'd rather it'd be me.

Make sure there's not a chunk of wax or something in an ear... If head shaking like that isn't normal - something brought it on... My parents had a lab that sprung a leak in his ear flap... The vet eventually had to cauterize it to get it to stop.

Brian, this happened to our black lab. his ear is going to look ugly depending on how big, and guess what Mickey the wonder dog gets a lamp shade to wear. Looks like this month it is the CVO attire for dogs. Might want to decorate it for him ie.. stickers, pictures ;D

I've heard a soft bath towel folded and wrapped loosely around the dog's neck serves the same purpose as the lampshade without the amusing for humans but not for the dog side effects of the lampshade. Thankfully Alexandra got home from school last night after a day's travel from Columbia in NYC. She worked in a pet shop all through HS and is great at dealing with playing nurse to Mickey than the rest of us. I can't stand to seem him suffer. As I said, I'd sooner take the knife in the ear myself sans novacaine than subject him to it.

He's fine. They lanced his ear, drained the fluid, put in a temporary shunt and wrapped his head in bandages. I'd post a picture but I feel so bad for the little guy I don't want to laugh at his expense. He looks like Marley's Ghost from Scrouge. Anyway, no ear infection, mites or anything. He just feels like shaking his head every so often and with the dalmation ears, the tips are like whips. Hopefully this isn't the beginning of an expensive habit. Today's visit was $200. Hell that's more than the co-pay for my last A-Fib episode. LOL

Subject: Just a Dog
From time to time, people tell me, “lighten up, it’s just a dog,” or, “that’s a lot of money for just a dog.” They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the costs involved for “just a dog.”
Some of my proudest moments have come about with “just a dog.” Many hours have passed and my only company was “just a dog,” but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by “just a dog,” and in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of “just a dog” gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it’s “just a dog,” then you will probably understand phases like “just a friend,” “just a sunrise,” or “just a promise.” “Just a dog” brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy. “Just a dog” brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
Because of “just a dog” I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future. So for me and folks like me, it’s not “just a dog” but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
“Just a dog” brings out what’s good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it’s not “just a dog” but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being “just a human.”
So the next time you hear the phrase “just a dog.” just smile, because they “just don’t understand.”

Done the same twice for the same dog and would gladly do it again.

Sent this to my cousin who has a miniature Dachshund named Joey for his best friend who passed away a few years ago.
Joey would always say, "when I die, I just want to come back as one of your and Nancy's dogs."
My cousin said he feels the same way as the writer and that's why he believes dog is God spelled backwards.

Or even better, anyone who has paid cash for a surgery on a dog not knowing if it will be successful or not.......
My old malamute was run over by a truck and broke his back. I drove him up to Davis medical center and was told for $5500. they would attempt to screw a metal plate in his back but he had only a 10% chance of walking again. I had them do the operation and stayed with him for 3 days. They were so worried about him they kept him in the surgery room the whole time. Pretty creepy visiting him, always animals on the surgery tables. He came through fine and lived another 6 years. Couldn't pull any sleds but made it to 14 1/2 years.

PLEASE.......Prayers and thoughts for our senior CVO Boxer, Annie Bea, are needed tonight. She had a mild seizure at 7pm. Just returned from the emergency vet. Blood work, anti-convulsive meds, and an IV bag seemed to have brightened her up and made her nose cold and wet again. We're going to bring her to our regular vet for observation tomorrow. At 10 years and 4 months, she's getting up there for a Boxer. Add to her age, the two times she has beaten cancer. Pretty scary.
-
Henry, nothing but good thoughts for your dog. Good luck tomorrow.

Thoughts and prayers are with you and Annie Bea, Henry. Let us know how she is doing.... God Bless...

Thank you, Gentlemen.
Annie Bea has Pancreatitis. Evidently we caught it early. Renea brought her to our vet at 7am this morning. She'll spend this evening, all day tomorrow, and likely tomorrow night with our vet. She went through two bags of Ringers today......along with some meds, and will likely get the same tomorrow. Otherwise, NPO. Effectively, her Pancreas is getting two days off with hopes to calm the inflammation. She'll likely be on some pretty bland food initially (steamed rice and chicken) followed by one of the prescription formulas from Science Diet.
Renea and I visited her today, and took her for a walk. She appears to be feeling much better.......but had that "hungry" look.
As an aside, Springer has developed what appear to be two Histiocytomas. One is on his lower right cheek, and one is in the middle of his outer right thigh. We've taken countless numbers of these "pencil erasers" off of our Boxers over the years and have been fortunate with benign Pathology. He goes in on Wednesday for consult.
Little Evo is tipping the scales at a whopping 30 pounds. She has fully recovered from her spay, and is constantly getting into trouble............as any Boxer should be. :)

Henry,
Hope everything works out for Annie Bea and she comes home soon.

I love dogs and peanut butter. My Italian Greyhound, with it's long mouth, just loves the stuff. So as a treat once a month or so will scoop out a nice spoon full. And smear it in the top of her mouth for her. And, of course, it sticks. And she licks and she licks and she licks and she drools and she licks and she drools. Takes her a sloppy mess half hour to finally get it all cleaned up. Simple fun... :2vrolijk_21:
-
The Bea Girl is still in the hospital, but is doing much, much better. Still on IV hydration and meds. Hopefully she gets to come home later today. Renea tells me the Doctor gave her some bland food yesterday. Annie Bea scarfed it down and kept it down. X-Rays of her abdomen look good. We're going to discuss an abdominal MRI later today. We'll have to travel to Birmingham to undergo that exam. It will be great to have her back home. :)
-
Annie Bea is home. Heck I just got home myself. Renea picked her up earlier this afternoon. Didn't want to wake Renea, so I have no idea what we're gonna do about the MRI, or if we're gonna do it at all. Checked the fridge. My guess is the boiled chicken and steamed white rice is Annie Bea's "bland" diet for the next however long. She's sleeping too, along with the other Boxers. Awful quiet in the house when I come home on a school night.
-
Always good to have them back home!
-
Always good to have them back home!
Yessir! It sure is! Annie Bea has been out in the back yard playing with the other two CVO Boxers and laying in the sun all day. She's acting like a puppy again. She does very well for an old Girl. Here's a picture of her taken just a few minutes ago. Note both of her forelegs were shaved for IV therapy.

Hey Henry glad to see all is working out.
Last week my rescue girl was acting kind of weird at 5am when I got up for work. Pacing panting wanting to go outside (unusual this early), also peed on the kitchen floor (accidents are rare) let her out and she was scouting the yard looking for grass (snow covered). She finally found one of my wife's plants (grass like).
She came in after a bit and seemed OK.
By mid afternoon my wife called me in a panic that she thinks Molly has bloat.
If you haven't done any research on bloat and you have dogs, especially bigger ones YOU NEED TO RESEARCH IT NOW!
Bloat can be fatal from mere minutes to a few hours and can be a painful death.
Deb took her to the vet (you should call first and let them know you are bringing in a possible "bloat" victim).
And true to the symptoms they dropped everything as soon as she walked through the door to start the exam.
Xrays (several series) - IV's- meds TLC and a day later I picked her up with what appeared to be only a food bloat. Didn't make sense until we checked the food bin. Since we were going away for 6 days I had filled it to the top so our neighbors wouldn't have to search for food while we gone.
Best guess is Molly figured out how to open the lid and eat what appears to be 10-12 cups or more of dry food, plus her normal morning ration of 2 cups!
So, we can't leave a dog on meds and bland diet (boiled chicken and rice) with a new feed schedule of 4 times a day instead of 2 with our neighbors, so Deb got to miss out on 6 days in sunny near freezing Florida.
$985 for our little "piglet".
Little more emphasis on the "bloat" if you haven't researched it do it now!

Annie Bea is thriving..........even on her bland diet. Lost some weight too. Got her "tuck up" back. Not bad for an old Girl.
-
The boss's Irish Setter "bloated up",not sure if it is the same thing but the Vet inserted a long needle through her abdomen into her stomach to relieve the pressure. Massaged the stomach back into position and she came out fine. Often it's hard to tell when your ball of fur is sick until it's almost too late, they handle pain pretty well.

Yep, same thing.
Bloat can be food or "air bound". both can be deadly. Dogs have a stomach that is supported at each end and it can roll around twist etc. That is the life and death problem, the stomach twisting in the abdominal cavity.
36% of dogs with bloat (twist) and make a quick visit to the vet do not survive!

Hey Henry and Duane,
Glad to hear things are working out for the family members.
Sorry I ddin't catch this sooner.
Our Annie had a thyroid issue about a year ago and for an eleven year old she is now filled with energy and having lost weight to get down from nearly 90 lbs to an acceptable 70 with the girlish boxer figure.
Both Annie and Harley send their best to Annie Bea and Molly:

Thanks Roger. Annie Bea was started on Soloxine (thyroid). That, along with her bland chicken and rice, and she's gettin' her figure back too............and her bounce. She plays with the pups, and makes them keep up with her now.............of course, her favorite thing to do.........and what she is really good at..........is being a couch potato.

These two are 3 years apart, one from a well known breeder and one from the shelter. You would never know they are not litter mates.

Yep, here a 5 year old is teaching the 3 month old where the best place is to grab a nap.

You have to wonder - whats with using the butt for a pillow :nixweiss:

I know what you guys are going through. I did have a dog die because of bloat and it was awful. We do not have a 24 hr vet locally, I had to drive her up to Chesapeake, which as an hour in a half away. I had fed her a pigs ear and a couple of hours later she was in throwing up and in terrible pain, plus she was 14 years old and very frail to begin with. They told me she had bloat and that her stomach was twisted and that they were going to have to do surgery right then if she had any chance of survival, I told them no, I had her put down right then. Also the same dog had a bout of pancreatitis and that is horrible, if I hadn't gotten her to the vet when I did she would have died. She was in the hospital for two days.
I'm glad to hear all is doing well with both dogs.
-
Kathy,
So sorry you had to go through that. My research post incident with our girl shows you made a wise and loving decision for you pet.
The odds are slim to begin with and with age and other pre-existing conditions any surgery would have just prolonged for a short period of time the inevitable.
The hardest decision, but the one that shows the most love.
-

This is "Gungy". He came from an abusive marriage breakup (another rescue). I told my wife "No More Cats", but he showed anyway. So his nickname is the "NO" cat.

Renea and I want to take a three picture walk down CVO Boxer memory lane with you tonight. My sweet daughter scanned these three pictures of our senior CVO Boxer, Annie Bea when she was a little tyke, because they are her favorites of the many paper photos we have of her. These are all circa late 1998 and 1999.
This first one was taken in November of 1998 about a week after Annie Bea came to live with us. She was nine weeks old, and not much bigger than a loaf of bread. Annie Bea has always been a cuddler. This is how it starts. Gotta spoil 'em from the git-go. She has never in her life spent a night outside. None of our Boxers ever have or ever will. I still have that old sweatshirt around here somewhere..........well........actually Renea has taken up residence in it, since I see her wearing it on occasion. It was one of my PT sweatshirts from when I went through Warrant Officer Candidate School back in late 1996.
Chunky Pup!
-
This next one is one of my favorites. I can't pinpoint the timeframe, but it was likely first quarter 1999. The beautiful brindle Goddess to my left is Miss Sassy. Sassy was the first Boxer Renea and I had together. She was almost three years old in this picture. Sassy was a wonderful Little Girl..........runt of her litter.........never weighed more than 50 pounds, and always full of energy and into mischief. Sadly, we lost her to cancer in March 2004 just 2 months shy of her eighth birthday. As she aged, that black muzzle turned gray as did the rest of her mask. Still miss her to this day. Annie Bea was still very much a Baby, but getting sweeter by the day.
Yeah........OK..........no comments about my out of reg haircut, please........yes.......I really was in the Army at the time. A whole lot thinner back then too. ;D
-
Can't really pinpoint the timeframe on this one either, but it has been on the fridge door of every house in which we've lived since we took it. Likely late 1999. Annie Bea was, at this time, roughly a year old, a CD (Companion Dog-title awarded during obedience trails) and an agility competitor. Such a pretty young lady.
I've enjoyed sharing this brief tidbit of our Boxer history with you. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Thanks for the pics Henry, nothing like boxers :2vrolijk_21:
This is our friends parents across the fairway at the mountain house with their boxers and ours, our Annie with the grey muzzle on the left, Duffie a fiesty 3 year old in white, Harley our 3 year old male and Beudreaux their older male around 8.

I can also say one thing about boxers or 2,I had gotten Rosie when my oldest was 2 and my little guy was about 8mo old( the boys are 17 mo apart :o)
my 2 boys have put that dog threw he!!,jumping on her, pulling her ,sleeping on her,they even held on to her when the youngest started to walk.That dog is more like a guardian /big sister to them than just a dog.Some days I luv my dog more than people ;)..As the say,if you ever want to know who is more loyal,your dog or wife put them both in a car trunk,after 1 hr open trunk and see which one is happy to see you 8) my bet is on the boxer ;D :bananarock: :bananarock:

CVO Boxers. Evo and Springer.
-
And how are the CVO pups coping?
-
And how are the CVO pups coping?
Thanks for asking, Duane. There is still some sort of "trumping" that Evo feels she must do. She is DETERMINED to be the top Boxer around here. I think I've related either here or elsewhere about how she turns into a holy terror if she thinks she isn't getting the attention she deserves.....doing things like strewing toilet paper all through the house, chewing up my Red Wing house shoes and Renea's riding boots, pooping in the great room.........and then just looking at us like "whatcha gonna do about it? You love me; you know you do."
So we're working through those issues. Destruction has stopped. Yesterday evening she pooped in the great room for the first time in a week.........likely 'cause she's so spoiled and hates going out in the rain for anything other than a quick whiz. Another factor is she IS an 8 month old puppy. The thing that is puzzling is she is house broken......had that part down 2 months prior to Annie Bea's passing.
We've also learned not to mention "Annie Bea" around the Boxers. Springer gets mopey, and Evo starts looking for her......getting really excited. Had this same challenge with Annie Bea when Sassy passed away back in 2004......so had to relearn. They feel things just like we do.
Other than that, they are happy and doing well.........we're two weeks into the post Annie Bea era, and there appears to be a new equilibrium settling in. Evo is going to be the Alpha Bitch. Springer, on the other hand, is like "yeah.......OK.......whatever, woman." Pack order..........HA! ;D
Sounds VERY familiar to the way things run on the bipedal side of the household. :huepfenjump3: :huepfenlol2: :huepfenjump3: :huepfenlol2: :huepfenjump3:
-
They feel things just like we do.
Some day I'll tell you two short stories which prove that theory.

It's great to see other folks that love their dogs as much as me. Oh yes our pets they do have complex emotions. Fortunately they are mostly happy ones. Except for my cat Libby...then they are mostly bitc#+ ones.

Chanman, We have 1 cat, color point short hair Siamese. In our house, motorcycle seats are off-limits to our cats. They can and have done severe damage to my motorcycle seats in the past. I had a 1982 FXS (Low Rider) which I had to replace the rider and passenger seat 3 times. The 2-3 time it was very hard to locate an original seat, not to mention expensive, for a plastic seat. Needless to say, I almost got rid of the cat, I love animals, but when they start being destructive, I draw the line.. My wife and kids, cried for me to keep her. She no longer is allowed in the garage where my bike is kept. Nice looking cat though, hope she doesn't damage your $900 dollar seat..

We are so glad we found such a wonderful home for Zoey, have been looking for the past year and pretty picky about where she was going to live. Just to give everyone an idea of how big these 2 are, Zoey weighed in at 106, and Barney at 135. These 2 are a couple of monsters. Zoey just didn't grab on to the hunting part very well so I had to let her go.
I am going tomorrow to pick up another dog. 1 yr old black lab. She is what is called a started dog. already retrieves birds with a passion and "already started its hunt training" I will try to post some pics of her when I get home with her.
thanks again Terry and Karen, you are the best.
-
NO, thank you guys, Zoey fills a void that has been in our home since we lost our 12 year old in Nov. We are very happy to have her and you can visit her any time you like. Congrats on your new hunter, can't wait to see some pics when you get her.

Had to say goodbye to one of the family today. Russell was with us for 15 years and was the best dog I've ever known. He had a gentle personality but yet was a great competitor. He held several titles in the agility ring and was recognized as the top Springer Spaniel in the midwest at agility when he was in his prime. He was always good to go if there was a ride or a hike or a game of fetch. He loved kids and they loved him.
There were a lot of tears shed today but we remember all of the joy he brought into our lives. These guys carve out a place in your heart over the years and when they have to go, it leaves quite a hole.
I know many on this forum have pets they love and can relate to the loss of a buddy. We lost a great one today.

There were a lot of tears shed today but we remember all of the joy he brought into our lives. These guys carve out a place in your heart over the years and when they have to go, it leaves quite a hole.
I know many on this forum have pets they love and can relate to the loss of a buddy. We lost a great one today.
Really sorry to hear that Mark! Still miss my Chopper! My thoughts are with you guys!

Had to say goodbye to one of the family today. Russell was with us for 15 years and was the best dog I've ever known. He had a gentle personality but yet was a great competitor. He held several titles in the agility ring and was recognized as the top Springer Spaniel in the midwest at agility when he was in his prime. He was always good to go if there was a ride or a hike or a game of fetch. He loved kids and they loved him.

My condolences to you Mark. Remember the happiness Russell gave you over the years and walk with it with pride.

Meet the latest addition to the Household.
This is Murphy, 3 month old Cocker Spaniel and just full of himself.
Mark, really sorry to hear of the loss of Russell, you're right about the hurt running deep, I don't know how they do it, but they sure have a way of worming their way into your very soul. Let's hope there is a bit of Russell's spirit in our new pup Murphy.

I submitted a picture of one of our dogs to a cutest pet contest that a TV station in the Quad Cities (IA) was puttting on for my wife. I'm guessing there was 150 to 200 entries and they picked 8 of those for finalists that the public could vote on. To begin with we didn't think she would be picked as one of the finalists, but she won the whole dang thing. The wife was really excited...I guess I am too, but I still tease her that the boxer should have won. Here's a picture we submitted.

Congratulations. :2vrolijk_21: Thats one cute dog for sure. ;D

Thanks

Here is my guard dog. If someone rings the doorbell he body slams the door and goes after who is ever there. He is able to jump waist high with is jaw snapping what ever is waist high. Once the person is inside the house he is like a puppy dog. Tried to teach him to ride with me but, it really did not work out.

Had to say goodbye to my Golden Retriever "Harley" this weekend. He was 11 and a great companion. Will be looking for another Golden but not for a while. I stink at posting pictures here but I will try. I have a great one with him and my FXR laying around somewhere.

Sorry for your loss Joe.

Sorry to hear about your loss Joe! It was only a month ago we had to put Russell down so I know what you're going through and it sucks!
-
that sux. sorry for your loss. :(
-
Joe, sorry for your loss. I to lost my Golden last month. We are big baseball people so his name was McGwire. He was 14 years old and man did he live like a King, as Goldens should. We had to put him down in the middle of the night after he had a stroke. Here's a pic of him the day after. As you can see he always got his way, he just had to drive. I'm still very sad to this day. :(
-
Sorry for your loss, I know how you feel I lost my Golden Bear this past Saturday night, he was 12.5
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e46/rbunt227/IMG_0779.jpg)
-
There's just something about Goldens that melt your heart. McGwire was our second Golden and Beau our first and he was the same way. One of the businesses that I own is a Mobile Dog Grooming Service, and we have a lot of Golden customers and everyone is just as sweet as the next. I'm very sorry for your loss, people say that time will heal all hearts but I'm not sure if thats true. I think and miss McGwire everyday but most of all it's not having him at the front door when I come home. OK, I've got to stop before I :'(
-
So here's at least one funny part of the story...
I put his leash on inside at the front door. Spent some time petting him and got him ready to go for his last car ride.
Walked in the front door after a very emotional experience at the vet and what do I find? A large pile of Harley Poop! I Don't know how in the hell he did it! I'd bet my last dollar that it wasn't there when we left! But somehow he managed to have the last word!
So now I feel my house is haunted by him and I couldn't be happier!
Thanks all for your kind words.
Oh and I did take a picture to show my family (in case they didn't believe me) but this is one case where "THIS THREAD IS BETTER OFF WITHOUT PICS!"

Joe I love that, my baby girl is a groomer as well and she will like that one too. Golden Rule :orange:

This is my name sake on the forum. He was 14.5 yrs old when we had to send him to Harley Dog Heaven this past summer! This is my Catahoula Buckshot wearing the Harley Colors. He had as many miles traveling as some of us, he had been to both coast( paws in both oceans), south to the gulf and travelled all over the US while I was on the Rodeo Circuit. Also had a few air miles on Delta a few years back. LOL! He was a great friend and best bud! But all said there was never a loss of good times for myself and others when he was with me. friendly and loving! How could you not love a face like this?

Please say a prayer for Barney. Terry has him at a specialist in Portland right now. They are going to do a MRI looking for a pinched nerve or ruptured disc or..... not really sure. His hips are good.
Terry and the dogs went out to pick the last of our lemons and some apples, when Barney let out a real loud yelp now he has no use of his back legs. The dogs were not running, just sniffing for that perfect spot to do business. We are praying he can be fixed, Barney just turned 5 and is too young. We are not ready for this. :'( :'(

Terry just lost his best friend. All the $$$ in the world could not save him. Terry still has a 2 hour drive home from the specialist, I wish I could be with him. I stayed home to be with Zoey our black lab, she is missing Barney already.
I can't think right now let alone see through the tears. Thanks for the kind words.

Thank all of you for the kind words of support. It was very hard to let go. We have a big emptyness right now and I am sure time will heal. And one day we will be united at the Rainbow bridge. Got the vet to take a pic just before I said solong to my best friend. I miss him already.
-
Terry, I understand the pain and sorrow you are having right now! This situation has brought tears to my eyes and saddness to my heart. I send prayers and condolences to you. But remember the blessing is that Our best Friends are looking down on us and waiting at the Gates for when we come to Heaven to rejoin them for the Love and Attention and Good times to continue. Be strong and remember to cherish the good times, cause those times will be once again when we all meet our buddies on the Rainbow Bridge. Peace be to you my Brother!

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I feel your pain. We lost our Choc Lab Murphy 5 years back, he was only 3.

My heart is hurting for you guys. Terry and Karen I along with many others here have lost their best friends, we lost McGwire our Golden back in December and time does helps but he will always be in your hearts.
-
Terry and Karen, out thoughts and condolences go out to you on the loss of one of your babies. It is always hard to lose a pet as they are never demanding and give unconditional love. Time will heal the loss, but you'll always have the memories and joy he brought.

Not sure what that's all about but she doesn't react the same way with Terrie's new Droid phone so she got this one in the car the other day.

I have two Jack Russels Terriers. 15 yrs old. Bandi and Scamp. I can never really get a picture of them together because they fight like hell. Their priorities are hunting first , food second and humans last. This pic was taken at our place in upstate PA. Bandi found a snake in the wood pile. Very much alive. It did'nt stand a chance.

Check this out, pot belly pig, The two animals live together on a huge 20-acre farm in Hoerstel, Germany, where Katjinga's owners Roland Adam, 54, and his wife Edit, 44, a bank worker, keep a pair of breeding Vietnamese Pot Belly Pigs. The little Piglet was found in the woods by Roland abandoned by its mother.

We used to have a condo in Bradenton, sold it in November of 07 right before the downturn, getting ready to buy in that area again, probably between Sarasota and Venice or there abouts, prices are right.

Where do you buy those pigs? I've heard they're just like a dog.

Not sure where to get them, I would imagine if you did a search on line you may find a breeder. I too have heard they are amazing animal, smarter than a dog.

We have had 4, only one as a pup, the others were rescues anywere from 3 to 9 years of age, had a lot of trouble with wobbler's with the last three, used Dr. Durkee's in Marion Indiana for Gold bead implants. Extended their lives but I have to say losing one is like losing a family member. My wife and I swear this is our last, but I really cannot imagine coming home to a house without a Dobe in it. When my wife and I got together over 30 years ago, you could not have paid me to have a dog in the house, it appears I am the one now that always wants another.
When Zeus goes on, it is going to be the hardest thing we have ever done since we do not plan to have another. Only time will tell.
Beautiful animals.

Zeus 1, our Dobe that had cancer loved the water, we had a place in Florida and when we took him in the car and got close to the beach he would cry to get out. Had a 40 foot lead I would put him on and go out in the water with him and let him swim. He would dive down and bring up conch shells and rocks. Some A hole stole the conch shell from the front of our place, wish I could have caught him. One day when we were walking the beach he was crying to get in the water and 3 dolphins came up and I actually let him swim with them, it was awesome. We lived in Ohio at the time and I could let him out the front door and he would run down the driveway and pick up the paper and bring it back to me every day. Never taught him to do it, he just wanted to please us. When he got sick I would sneak out and leave him just the sports page as the paper especially on Sundays was to heavy for him. I don't think he ever knew, if he did it didn't bother him as he was so happy to run out and get it, awesome in the winter, as he loved the snow. I could go on forever about these dogs as they have truly changed my life. Here is Zeus 1
-
Chains,
Loved reading your synopsis of your Dobe experiences. They are very special and you are right in that they are family members and become entwined in all we do. Funny how each one has their own personality and quirks just like people. Have yet to find one that meets the Hollywood sterotype of mean and aggressive, guess its all in how they are raised and trained. We usually have two at once a Male and a Female but after doing the set thing twice we continued to find the males more attentative to their owners while the femailes can be aloof and hyperactive. Thinking about adding a second male but we've been hearing about how they might constantly fight due to the domination thing.......so for now we are on hold and very happy we took another "Chance". Yes like you mentioned the pain of losing one always lingers but the way we found best to move was to try again, thus the new puppies name. :)

Thanks, the day he passed on I was heartbroken, we had a little girl Dobe, named Princess that we rescued from a kill shelter that was around 9 at the time, she lived too be around 12, not sure as she had been a stray a long time before they caught her. She was as sweet as they come, when she got excited (either for treats or a ride) she would run towrds you and raise her front paws of the ground like she was prancing, she was a pleasure to have and glad we were able to save her, she was small around 55 pounds. She was attached to my wife and never paid me near the attention that Zeus did. After about two weeks I started searching for a male to my wife's displeasure and found the current Zeus at a shelter in southern Ohio, he was listed as Zeus II so I new I had to have him. His owner surrendered him to us as she was divorced and was a nurse working 12 hours a day and traveling one to two hours to work each way depending on traffic. From the day we took him she has kept in touch and every year sends him a birthday gift, Christmas gifts and sends my wife and I gifts for Christmas as well as mothers and Fathers day. Before we moved to Alabama she and her parents, kids and grandkids would come visit him once or twice a year. We have told her about his issues and she is always praying for him, but she has a 27 year old son with incurable cancer so she is devastated. I told my wife to look at Zeus's predicament in a positive way. Debbie's son Kyle was his owner until he was 4 years of age, perhaps God wants Zeus to be there for Kyle, who knows. Here is his 10th birthday, close to two years ago now, he was doing great.

It is with great sorrow I have to tell all of you pet lovers that yesterday at 5:30 PM we had to let go our sweet Doberboy Zeus II. He was going to be 12 in July, but between arthritis and spinal cord issues, he could not go on. Rather than continue to let him suffer Terri and I had to make one of the hardest choices a person must make. We know he is no longer in pain and has crossed the Rainbow Bridge and someday hopefully we will see him again. After having dogs for 30 plus years, my wife would like to try it without one, not sure I can do it nor am I sure if she can, but I will give it a try for her.
All of you with pets give them a hug for us, I know I will whenever I see one.

Sorry I didnt get hooked up with you a few weeks ago. I was working a race at Barber Motorsports and didnt have very much spare time. I did spend 3 1/2 hrs Sat afternoon in the museum and I was very impressed. Actualy got a private tour from one of the techs that restores the Lotus cars. Good Times. :2vrolijk_21:

No Problem, Barber is an awesome place, that man has put a ton of money out to make it first class. We are getting ready to buy a home in Florida again, had a condo in Bradenton for about 9 years, sold it three months before the bottom fell out of the market. To date it is the highest price unit ever sold in the complex, and I don't think they will ever get back to what they were. I really feel for the guy that bought it 100% loan, he is so upside down that he will never recover.
Looking in Fort Myers area, kinda scary, homes that 3 years ago were in the 3's 0r 4'4 are below 100K or just over it some. My Realtor told me whatever your wildest dream is it pretty much can come true in Florida now, it is a super buyers market. Chinese drywall is a no no so we have to be very careful on what we buy and do our homework.
Perhaps when we get down that way we can hook up then.

What a beautiful lady. We have often thought of adopting/resueing a Greyhound, do they need any special care and do they have any medical issues other than the normal things?
Thanks for the pictures.

They are 45 mile an hour couch potatoes. You have to watch what they eat. We feed our girl 2 times a day and she gets about 1.5-2 cups of Purina One. If you leave food out she will gorge herself. I guess it comes from how they are raised. She is very loving, but isn't good with cats (she's 2-0 on them that wander into the yard). Some are great with cats some have a stronger prey instinct with them. Check with the shelter that you find the dog at (many shelters specialize in greyhounds and will know). Nothing in particular just regular rabies shots, Heartguard, and Frontline. She's been a very healthy dog. She had mange when we got her that was misdiagnosed as a skin infection by the humane society and our own vet. My wife finally asked that she be tested for mange and with a positive result we ended her suffering in a couple weeks. Ever since then she's been a wonderful dog. She even manages to sleep with us almost every night. She starts off in her own bed but normally finds her way up in ours early in the morning around 2 or 3. She also likes to sleep in our lap in the chairs. I love greyhounds. They are so mistreated the way they are raised for racing. Most of the dogs are never good enough to race. I can't believe more people don't keep them as pets. I think a lot that don't make the cut end up euthanized. They like it in the house and tend to get very cold in the winter. We keep our baby in as much as possible in the winter and when we can't she wears a sweater and has a very warm dog house to get in.
-
:huepfenlol2: Thats funny right there now on coming in yard and being 2 and 0. :ROFLOL:
-
They start off teasing her on the fence, then when they think she's in they mozy through the yard like the king of the world. She's faster than they think. From a stand still to top speed in only a few strides. The cats can hardly react before they're done. The second one was standing on the porch when my wife let her out to go to the bathroom one morning. The dog got to the opening of the door, spotted the cat, they stared each other down for about 10 milliseconds and the cat made a run for it. The dog covered the 10 foot lead in 2 strides and all my wife could do was shut the door. She said it happened so fast and she felt so bad she cried.
-
Nice looking Greyhound. Here's my baby boy. He was found after being put out in the woods as a puppy. When I saw him I had absolutely no intention of getting a dog at that time, but he won me over in a matter of minutes.
-
We also have 2 greyhounds. The cat that made it into our house through the doggie door never had a chance. We also have a black lab(the best damn dog in the world) who was probably sat back watching the greys thinking, you(cat) have no chance.

10-12 years

Last week at the CVO event in West Virginia I ended up missing most of the Saturday night dinner because our parrot was having an issue. We were in the campground across from the hotel.
Anyway, no avian vets in the area and he turned around and seemed to be OK.
Thursday he started to act up again and by the time we could find an avian vet it was Friday afternoon. The vet took some blood for a quick test and told me "your bird is critical and needs a blood transfusion".
I don't know what the count actually means but he said it was a 10 and should be around 50, and on a scale of 1-10 our bird was a 9.5, for being ill!
Made the arrangements to try and locate a donor bird and wrote the all important check for services to start.
Less then a half hour after I left he passed away.
Cagney was just over 13 years old and we have had him since 16 weeks.
With our cats and dogs we always realize the mortality of them, figuring if they made 10 years, every year after that was a bonus to treasure.
With Blue & Gold macaws you typically have to make arrangements for them after YOU pass on, as they can easily live to be well over 70 years old.
He was very much a part of our family and quite the character.
He, as well as the dogs was the reason we ended up RV'ing, so we could take them with us when we went away.
In hindsight, we missed some important clues with his health and I don't know if it would have helped, but finding an avian vet a day sooner might have made the difference.
This coming weekend will be our annual trip to Goldstock, a Golden Retriever rescue event. Cagney has always been the hit at camp with the children, even the adults who wonder about bring a bird to an event with 400 “bird dogs”.
It will be a long 5 days.

We are deeply saddened by your news of Cagney. It certainly sounds like you did everything that could be done. Anyone that knows you, knows that you did. We know how much you guys will miss him and things will not be the same without him. Best of luck with the upcoming "Goldstock". We admire you for your efforts in such a worthy cause!

Duane, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. ..................................Rich

Duane, don't beat yourself up too much. The number the vet was referring to is the hematocrit. It's the percentage of the blood that is red blood cells. It's around 50% for people. The other 50% being plasma. A transfusion would have helped but certainly wouldn't cure the problem that caused Cagney's critical anemia. It's too bad that had to happen away from home.
-
Sorry to hear of your loss. It doesn't matter what kind of pet when they are part of your life it is so hard to lose them. At least you will have good memories about Cagney the rest of your life.

Bogart the Wonder Dog is going in for a major surgery Sept. 13th to have his spleen removed, it has a mass in it. We found out Friday night after taking him to the emergency clinic when he started crying, shaking and barely being able to walk. Poor thing has arthritis in his back and inflamed it by bouncing around on the hardwood floors right after I got home. I had my lunch pail and mail in my hands, so I couldn't pick him up right away. He bounced up one time and fell over backwards. He seemed perfectly fine afterwards, continuing to be playful. I took him for a walk, put him back inside and decided to take a quick ride. The wife called me twenty minutes after I left and described his plight. I met her at the clinic and that is when we found all this out. The ultrasound doesn't show any issues other than the mass, so we are very hopeful that it is not cancer...
anyone that has a pet knows they are like our children.

Happy Birthday Big Manny. Great pic Don.

Bogart came through the surgery really well. They removed his spleen, which had a cancer mass between the size of a golf ball and a tennis ball. considering the little fellow only weighs 9.8-10.5 lbs (varies due to his eating habits) this was an incredibly large mass. We picked him up yesterday evening, and he was rambunctious...after being home for 1-2 hours, the pain started setting in. He moved around alot uncomfortable, unable to lie still. His face said everything, " I am sad..." Poor fellow didn't get any sleep last night (nor did we, felt so helpless).
Doc says within a few days he'll be himself again (instead of impersonating Don Knotts from the "Shakiest Gun In The West").
Really looking forward to having a healthy puppy again (o.k., so he's 14, but he still seems very puppy-ish)...
So to all my CVO family, may you and your pets be healthy and happy and live very long lives!

I'm glad to hear that Bogart tolerated the surgery well. Best wishes for his recovery and future health! :2vrolijk_21:

Glad to hear Bogart made it through the surgery, I am certain it is as painful for you all as it is for him.

Check this out dog lovers: could apply to cats and other animals, just need to change it up a bit.

Cagney was just over 13 years old and we have had him since 16 weeks.
With our cats and dogs we always realize the mortality of them, figuring if they made 10 years, every year after that was a bonus to treasure.
With Blue & Gold macaws you typically have to make arrangements for them after YOU pass on, as they can easily live to be well over 70 years old.
He was very much a part of our family and quite the character.
So sorry for your loss Duane.

Zoey likes pears ;D
Zoey is on a diet and found a new dinner plate under the pear tree. :huepfenlol2: Last weekend she ate 5 pears in one day, she has not done that since. She is waiting for the apples to start falling.
YUMMY!!!!

Our newest member of the family...Archie. With Zoey in the back ground.
This sweet boy has came a long way in the last six months. He is a rescue dog and boy was he rescued. 6 months ago he weighed a mere 21 lbs at 5 yrs old. Most of his fur was gone, covered in fleas. He looks good now just skinny. The wonderful people at Hopes Haven in Salem Oregon brought him up to 85 lbs. We have a few more lbs to gain but that comes easy in our house. ;D

Harry thanks for the Dog Prayer.
Archie made it through the first night of being an indoor dog. :2vrolijk_21: Nothing but the easy life for him from now on he has earned it. Our hearts melted when we met him.

This letter I wrote to my vet says it all. We had to take our dog in yesterday as she had gotten to the point that she could not stand. She had been going down the last few months and had a very bad episode on Christmas Eve. But she rallied somewhat and made it through the holidays until this past Sunday when it was evident that she simply could not go on. We had her cremated and now have her in a special place on our fireplace mantle. Those of you who have pets certainly understand the bond that cannot be broken. Here is the letter and a photo of her on Christmas Eve.
Dear Dr. Neil:
J. Carolyn and I want to thank you and Cynthia for helping us through the most difficult time in the long history of our relationship with our pet dogs – having to bid farewell to our beloved Persephone yesterday. As you noted she was the oldest Dalmatian you had ever treated and was just two months shy of her sixteenth birthday.
She was not quite eight weeks old when we brought her home on April 30, 1995. During the ensuing almost sixteen years she brought us untold joy. Even though all doggie ‘parents’ are undoubtedly proud of their four-legged family members I can say without fear of contradiction that Persephone was unquestionably the most intelligent animal I have ever known. She was smart and she knew it and used that innate ability to assert her alpha credentials. She was in charge and made no bones about it!
God knows she had her quirkiness but then again don’t we all? Regardless we loved her unconditionally and she us. We are having difficulty adjusting to being in our home without her but are comforted in the precious memories of our good times together.
Again, thank you both for your kindness, consideration and caring. We TRULY appreciate you.
-
Jerry & Carolyn I'm sure you have a mountain of memories of her over the Sweet Sixteen Years she was with you. Wishing you a Happy New Year during these difficult days. Very sorry for you loss my friend.
Dave & Helen
-
I am sorry to hear of the loss of your friend, we too know how precious a pet can be and how much love they bring to a family. Here is a little verse about the Rainbow bridge.
http://www.petloss.com/rainbowbridge.htm
-
Jerry, sorry to hear of your loss. I still haven't gotten over the loss of my last one but Archie is helping to fill that space. I'm hoping I have a crowd waiting for me at that bridge.
-
Thanks guys. I've never been privileged to have a pet this long or form such a bond. I won't lie - it is tough and I've shed a few tears because I miss having her around.
-
Well after almost 9 months without a Dobe, we decided to rescue another, or I guess I decided and Terri went along with me (she really wasn't over Zeus yet) but after driving to Ringgold Georgia to Meet Nikki we brought her home from her foster mom. She is 3 years old and was dumped at a vet by a couple at Christmas, (why I can't say) From the vet she went to Trenton Georgia, then on to Chattanooga TN and then we picked her up at her foster moms parents. Man what a 2 week event for her. Seems very shy but who wouldn't be after all that.
Her are her mug shuts from the rescue.

Final mug shot, will update later with shots in her new home.

And Scamp the 14th of Jan 2011, Broke my heart. I held her in my arms as she slipped away peacefully.
-
Dang Rich - like many here, we know that pain all too well. But as bad as it hurts I wouldn't trade that for not having my canine buddy's in my life.
Hell, it hurt so bad to lose my boy in early 2010 that I told Rocky "never again". Guess what ... we have a new pup ... been here almost 3 months. I just can't say no I guess.
Best wishes to you guys in this difficult time.
-
I am so sorry...It is tough to lose one but two. I can not imagine how your heart is feeling. A rescue dog would love to find a place in your heart.
-
Sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine loosing two within a months time. When we lost our last boy in April 2010, we decided to try to go without a pet for a while as we have had animals for the 31 years we have been together. Well I think it worked a little better for my wife than me as I found myself buying toys and treats for the neighbor dog and viewing pet finder everytime I could get in line. Something or someone was telling me you need to rescue another dog, so last Saturday we did. You all know the joy it brings but I have to tell you I have never been so happy, this 3 year old Dobe is not only the sweetest little girl we have rescued but when I see the look in my wife's eyes and smile I know it was the right thing to do.
-
Wow Fuzz sorry to hear this. Sure thing they are together in doggie heaven. ;)
-
These stories tug at my heart strings. We had to bury our big, male Doberman, Scooby, yesterday. He was about 13 years old. He would "smile" at you, when approached. Most people thought he was snarling, but he'd lick your hand instead. We'll miss him.
-
Jason,
Sorry for your loss, we went through the samewith our male Dobe in April of 2010. There are some great rescues in Illinois if you are looking for another Dobe.
-
Sorry about your Dobie. My heart is still aching. We just donated their bedding and food to the local humane society. I'll look at some rescues when I'm up to it................................................Thanks for the kind words............................................Fuzz

Guys, sorry about the recent loss of your dogs. January has not been a kind month to us cvo pet lovers. Several of us have lost pets this month.
-
The following was found posted very low on a refrigerator door.
Dear Dogs and Cats:
The dishes with the paw prints are yours and contain your food. The other dishes are mine and contain my food. Placing a paw print in the middle of my plate and food does not stake a claim for it becoming your food and dish, nor do I find that aesthetically pleasing in the slightest.
The stairway was not designed by NASCAR and is not a-racetrack. Racing me to the bottom is not the object. Tripping me doesn't help because I fall faster than you can run.
I cannot buy anything bigger than a king sized bed. I am very sorry about this. Do not think I will continue sleeping on the couch to ensure your comfort, however.. Dogs and cats can actually curl up in a ball when they sleep. It is not necessary to sleep perpendicular to each other, stretched out to the fullest extent possible. I also know that sticking tails straight out and having tongues hanging out on the other end to maximize space is nothing but sarcasm.
For the last time, there is no secret exit from the bathroom! If, by some miracle, I beat you there and manage to get the door shut, it is not necessary to claw, whine, meow, try to turn the knob or get your paw under the edge in an attempt to open the door. I must exit through the same door I entered. Also, I have been using the bathroom for years -
canine/feline attendance is not required.
The proper order for kissing is: Kiss me first, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough!
Finally, in fairness, dear pets, I have
posted the following message on the front door:
TO ALL NON-PET OWNERS WHO
VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:
(1)
They live here. You don't.
(2)
If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture.
That's why they call it 'fur'-niture.
(3)
I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
(4)
To you, they are animals. To me, they are adopted sons/daughters who are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly.
Remember, dogs and cats are
better than kids because they:
(1)
eat less,
(2)
don't ask for money all the time,
(3)
are easier to train,
(4)
normally come when called,
(5)
never ask to drive the car,
(6) don't smoke or drink,
(7)
don't want to wear your clothes,
(8)
don't have to buy the latest fashions,
(9)
don't need a gazillion dollars for college and
(10) if they get pregnant, you can sell their children

Thanks guys, yea, I knew he was good, but it does look just like the picture he used to draw it. He's going to do one for his sister who's dog just passed away two weeks ago. He usually does weird demons and monsters, tattoo stuff, I was supprised when this came in the mail.

BOXMATION WANTED !
This thread seems a likely place to post the following. I am looking for a 50/50 mix Dalmation/Boxer aka Boxmation (no I didn't make this up) Seems the only place folks are actually breeding this mix is England.
I've looked just about every shelter in SoCal and 99% of the dogs up for adoption out here are at least 50% pitbull. No way of knowing if the dog's bloodlines are so inbred that stability is a real issue. Lots of pitbulls out here were bred to be aggresive and while the dog might not naturally be that way, over time if you breed a mean tempered dog with another mean tempered dog with another mean tempered dog you're gonna have mean little pups. The more you do this the less stable the animal becomes.
OK, I'm off the track, but the preceeding is why I am going national in my search for a 50/50 Boxer/Dalamation. And please do not send me links to shelter websites. Been there, done that. I'm asking folks to keep an eye out, ear open for this particular mix of dog.
Thanks

This was a shot in the dark Brian. Did a wide Craigslist search and got these responses from just over an hour away from me. Give them a call and if it's worth pursuing let me know.
I'm always a bit scared of flying a pet unattended as cargo but we'd figure something out. Worst case would be maybe he'd hang out here until you came through on your way east in the spring.

Now that's a dog. You'll never find a better dog. Smart as they come, durable as a sled dog, fast as a greyhound, fun loving beyond anything you've ever seen and devoted beyond measure. The only thing is you better be ready to work out a lot cause these dogs don't stop til they drop. (which is why I need one )

Sad....
The previous owner should get the same treatment as punishment.
-
I don't get people, why would they even have an animal.
There are "GOOD" animal people out there with big hearts and Caroline is going to find that pawperfect home.
Archie looked worse he was a whopping 21lbs at 6 years old (Mastiff/Boxer). We got Archie when he was 75 lbs, He is up to 90 lbs now. His muscles were soft and was wobbly going up and down the stairs. He now has muscle tone and races Zoey up and down the stairs. Life is good if you are a dog in our house.

Good looking dogs, our local paper had a memorial in it yesterday to an 11 year old German Shepard that saved its owners life on the 13th of April by getting between the owner and a Timber rattler. Unfortunately the dog took the hit and did not survive.

5 years...great dog. Low alert growls and when he has angry bark going you would be a fool to try and test him. Lisa's best friend.
He does get nevous when I am dry-op checking weapons, I think he was shot over too young..

Revealed: The 5 Most Dangerous Dogs In The World!
http://www.totaldog.co.uk/dog-articles/talking-points/most-dangerous-dogs/
-
There you go. Just another "ism" from the boxers.
Our last three boxers are all rescue dogs and most likely all of our next ones will be too. I doubt we'll ever be able to change or downsize although Q makes a good arguement for the downsized version IMHO.
Both of mine came and worked their way under my desk and pushed me out this morning, I hadn't fed them and it was 10 minutes past the normal feeding time. Too funny, who is whose pet, often it seems we are theirs.
I'm sure Bagger would agree that if you are a dog person, a boxer is a great choice, one downside.........they sort of come in pairs. Right now we own two 70 pound lap dogs. ;D
I went back to this post of 2006 when we were talking about boxers and our two, Harley and Annie. Sadly we lost Annie last week at the full life age of 13. She was a wonderful dog and we were lucky to share some "bonus" years with her since many boxers live 8 - 10 years.
As noted above we are rescue people and with Annie's advanced years we had looked for a fit with our male Harley who is 7. Just a couple of days after we had to put Annie down we found a 3 year old in Newport, Oregon. Here's a pic of Annie with Harley and their Rhodesian friend Emma and one of Bailee the new girl (in front) with Harley.

Sorry for your loss, glad you rescue, we have had rescue Dobermans for close to 30 years, and each time we lose one a little piece of us go with them.

Sorry to hear of your loss, Rog...it's tough to lose one of the family. On the other hand, it's great that Bailee has found a new, great home. She's a beauty!

We're lucky to have had the years with Annie and to find Bailee as well.

It is tough, no matter how or when...I always try to tell myself to think about what might have happened to the dog/animal if they had gone to somewhere that didn't care about them like I did. That helps a little bit...

This is Aurther, a 228lbs Leonberger. He is trained to protect my three daughters from cougars and bears while they walk to the bus stop a half mile each way. He walks them down in the morning then heads down to the end of the road and picks them up at 4 o'clock.
Haven't been able to train him not to go on weekends though..... :nixweiss:

After the second word war, there were roughly only 54 breeding pairs left in the world. Most likely because they were eaten.
Aurther's father lived to be 12 and was healthy and mobile right up until his last month. He fell sick and refused to eat. I couldn't stand seeing him suffer any longer so I took him for a walk and put him down.
Leonbergers do well in a cold climate with healthy diet of deer meat. I hang a deer out back in the winter and lower it down every few days. Summer frozen pieces.
Aurther is 8 now and doing very well.
-
I am glad to hear that Aurthur is exceptional,
these breeds certainly do not do well in hot climates.
You have the best situation for Aurthur.
He is very cute

Good looking dog, I bet he is very protective of your daughters. Did you ever consider he may have something going on witht the bus driver? :nervous:

Had to put Jasper down over the holidays - his hips got to him so bad that it was time. Everytime we both swear not to get another one because it's just too hard to lose them. Of course ... eventually the yearning returns and it starts all over. Why is it so easy to forget how much trouble and work a puppy is? :)
Meet "Harley" ... 8 weeks old in the pics. The breeder and everyone else calls him a "Yellow Lab". I immediately correct them aand let them know that he is an "Autumn Haze Lab".

Enjoy - we sure are (well - mostly ... haha)

We love our dogs, and we lost another one. Our one Golden seemed to be panting more then usual and had some unusual sounds occasionaly. Followed by a loss of appetite. A vet visit showed a slightly unusual blood workup and possible lung infection (X-rays).
An antibiotic treatment along with some other meds to help keep her hydrated.
A week later with a follow-up visit showed a less then promising new chest X-ray. We made an immediate appointment with the specialist.
There is a fungal infection (can't remember the name now) that dogs tend to get in certain areas of the Northeast, and we had been camping in most of these areas!
Kind of sucks to think we started camping just so we could take our animals with us when we travel, and now that same pastime might have made our girl sick.
The follow up at the next hospital had us see a rather crude and short cardiologist. Didn’t know why we had to see a cardo anyway, we wanted the pulmonary specialist.
Anyway, he digitizes the x-rays from our vet, looks at them and comes in and tells us “your dog has lung cancer and she is going to die”
Talk about getting hit with a bat.
The oncologist was much better and more in tune with us. Our girl had metastatic lung cancer (cancer that came from somewhere else in the body). It is always terminal in dogs. Treatment was considered and we opted for a relatively new low dose chemo program and some meds to help her appetite.
We took her home and overnight she went downhill really hard.
We opted not to treat with chemo and do the hardest thing we as pet lovers have to do. We went back to our local vet and to the staff that loved her as well.
Misty was acquired shortly after 9-11, and her registered name is “Misty – 9-11 Angels In Our Midst”, named after the brothers lost that day,
We lost her on 09/08. Her rescue sister, Molly is beside herself now. These two girls, although at one time tried to take each other out, were inseparable.
Every year since she was 9 months old Misty has gone to Goldstock, a Labor Day weekend dog camp to raise money for rescue. The girls always have a blast, a campground with dogs everywhere running like nuts, tennis balls everywhere you look, a big lake to swim in – grass to run through.
Deb didn’t want to go with her being sick, but what better memories for us and the dogs then going to their favorite place?
The picture below is from her first year when she made the papers and this year.
9 months old and 9 years old.

Beau's Poem - Jimmy Stewart
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qUNJjIwlHk8
-
I remember watching this 30 years ago when first aired. Only 25 then and still brought tears.
Have watched it at least a dozen times since then and still get worked up over it.
Jimmy was a Golden lover too.
Here is a little history behind Stewart and Beau.
http://www.stanleycoren.com/e_lovedogs.htm
Excerpted from "Why We Love the Dogs We Do":
While I was on a book tour a few years ago, I had the opportunity to meet with Jimmy Stewart. He was no longer the young Charles Linbergh character that I remembered from the film The Spirit of St. Louis, or the easy moving character that became a hero in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. His age had begun to show on him, and he appeared to be almost fragile. He was slow moving and even slower talking than I remember him being in the movies. However, when he started to speak about his dogs his face broke into a smile and the pace of his talking picked up. He told me:
"When I married Gloria she already had a German Shepherd named Bello. He loved her a lot and, after a while, he and I got along. Gloria really loves German Shepherds best of all, but sometime after we lost our second one, she decided that they weren't the breed of dogs that I needed. Anyway, she went out and got me this Golden Retriever named Simba, and its been Goldens ever since for me. "We actually have three dogs now. Kelly and Judy, are Golden Retrievers, and then there is Princess who is some kind of a mixed breed that my daughter found and we sort of rescued. Princess had some behavior problems and I think that Kelly and Judy picked up some of her bad habits--figured that if Princess could get away with it so could they. We had met Matthew Margolis [who co- authored of a number of fine dog training books, such as When Good Dogs Do Bad Things, with Mordecai Siegal] and Gloria liked him. He runs the National Institute of Dog Training. Kelly and Judy were not behaving.
They didn't listen to anything we said, and they were always jumping up and barking and pulling on the leash--both were just imitating Princess, I think. Well, anyway, Matthew told us that he would have to take the dogs to his training kennel for six weeks to get them to behave. The reason that he wanted them at the kennel had something to do with 'socialization' and other dog things like that. It was supposed to help their shyness and excitability. Gloria and I didn't like it, but she felt that we had to do something. Well that lasted just one day. You know I love my house, but without any dogs around it feels like some kind of mausoleum. I told Gloria 'Get those dogs back home because I can't put up with them not being here.' Anyway, Matthew tried to set up a training program at the house, but it really didn't work so well. In the end we compromised. We broke the three dogs up into squads, so we could send one or two of them to school for short sessions, and still have one or two at home for company. I still didn't like it, even though we got to visit their school on weekends.
Gloria made a lot of phone calls to make sure they were OK--to reassure me I guess. "I suppose the truth is that I'd rather have a happy dog than a trained one. My dogs have never been good at things like 'sit', 'stay' or even 'come'. I think that we've given the tourists a few laughs, especially when the dogs hit the end of their leashes hard enough to drag Gloria down the street. I don't even mind it when the dogs jump up. Matthew showed us how to jerk the leash to correct that kind of thing. I suppose that it does have to be done--you know to keep them from knocking someone down or messing their clothes--but it seems kind of cruel to me. If my dog jumps up on me I figure that he wants to kiss my face and tell me that he thinks that I'm a really nice person. I don't believe that you should punish a dog for saying 'I love you.' When your dog's face is up looking at yours like that I think that you should tell him just how nice you think that he is too. Gloria told me that Matthew says that we mother the dogs too much and that they'll never really be well trained. Well, they're a lot better now than what they were before, so some of the training must be working. The difference between 'trained OK' and 'trained perfectly' doesn't really matter all that much to me. I once did a film with Lassie. When that dog got excited it jumped all over Rudd Weatherwax [Lassie's trainer]. Now that's the smartest dog in the world. If the world's best trained dog can jump around to show he's happy then my dogs should be allowed to do the same. "The truth is that it's just really hard for me to get to sleep without a dog in my bedroom. It's funny about that.
-
I once had a dog named Beau. He used to sleep in a corner of the bedroom. Some nights, though, he would sneak onto the bed and lie right in between Gloria and me. I know that I should have pushed him off the bed, but I didn't. He was up there because he wanted me to pat his head, so that's what I would do. Somehow, my touching his hair made him happier, and just the feeling of him laying against me helped me sleep better. After he died there were a lot of nights when I was certain that I could feel him get into bed beside me and I would reach out and pat his head. The feeling was so real that I wrote a poem about it and about how much it hurt to realize that he wasn't going to there any more."
I later learned just how intense his feelings were for his dog Beau. At the time, Stewart was making a picture which was shooting on location in Arizona. One evening he got a phone call from his veterinarian, a Dr. Keagy. The call was about Beau. Keagy told him that Beau was very sick. He was having trouble breathing and was in considerable pain. The disease had progressed to the point that it was obvious to Keagy that the dog couldn't be saved. He was calling for permission to end Beau's life quickly. Stewart's wife Gloria said that she couldn't make that decision since Beau was Jimmy's dog. "I can't just tell you to put him to sleep like this," Stewart said, "Not over the phone--not without seeing him.
You keep him alive and I'll be there." Stewart was always known as an easy actor to work with, who never made excessive demands. So, the director was taken aback when he went to him to ask for a few days off to fly home to see to his dog. The leave was granted and Stewart got to sit with Beau for a long while before making the decision. He later admitted that when he left the veterinarian's office he had to sit in his car for around 10 minutes, just to clear his eyes of tears, so that it would be safe to drive home.

Meet "Socrate", in his favorite bed on hot summer day!

Meet Nikki our 4 year old we rescued in January

..and his bro "Ty" who just did some gardening work!!

That was a great story, brought tears to my eyes...............................Mr Stewart was one hell of a man.............. I suppose when the inevitable happens to each and every one of us have to deal with it in our own way. Our house, also was too quiet. So with the wife's insistence, we started to look around and we made a decision to adopt. We are very lucky to have the two doggies grace our lives. And all the the others we have had in the past. As I write this, my 2 are terrorizing the squirrels in the yard and the neighbors sensibilities.........................gotta go and tell them to shut the hell up. But I would be lost with out them................................................ gotta go.............................Fuzz

For nearly two years since we lost Mickey The Wonder Dog I've worn his dog tag on my neck chain. A couple of weeks ago it felt like time to take it off so I did and then filled out paperwork for adoption at the Dalmatian Rescue of Southern California. On Sunday we picked up Zeus, shown here with my wife. He is between 3 & 4 yrs old and was saved from being put down at a local Animal Control by the folks at Dal Rescue. We hadn't planned on getting a dog much older than a year but Zeus was just so incredible we had to bring him home. He's been with us for four days now and is settling in very well.

Dave and JC -ain't that the truth - forgetting that is 8)
Deb's email and screen name since almost the beginning of email for her is "IForget" :nixweiss:
Dave that picture was taking 5 days before we lost her to lung cancer. Would never know she was suffering looking at the pic though.
And Molly, who was always a bundle of happiness, has had that sad look now for 3 months (2nd pic). The two were inseparable, even though they tried to take each other out early on.

I'm firmly convinced that dogs grieve...when I had the Greyhound rescue (Shug) he and my Austrailian Terrier, Nell, were big buddies. When she died, he got a mysterious illness and I ended up losing him 3 months later. A team of vets never found out exactly what was wrong with him, and we tried everything short of exploratory surgery. I think a broken heart played a part in it...
If anyone here lives in an area of the country where they race Greyhounds, I would strongly encourage you to adopt from the track...many of the dogs retire from racing at about 4 years old, and some of them just don't care for racing, so you can get one about 2 years old...all the shots, spayed/neutered, teeth cleaned, special collar. People think they would be "hyper" because of what they are bred to do, but nothing could be further from the truth. They are probably the sweetest, most intelligent, and sensitive breeds I've ever been around...plus, they are absolute couch potatoes. Clean like a cat too. Very well behaved...the local track does a fantastic job of screening the dogs based on personality traits, so they fit in homes either alone, with other dogs, or even with cats. Shug would fly around out in the backyard for about 3 minutes each day, then spend the remainder of the day literally on the couch. For a large breed, they are very graceful and know where their body is in space, so don't knock things off tables, etc. Very well mannered. Crate trained as well.

Terry, I have no doubt animals, and especially dogs can grieve over the loss of a companion.
We lost Misty the day before we were to head up to NY for the 9-11 10th Anniversary Tribute Rally in Newburgh (OCC headquarters). Being the "1st District" director put me in kind of a bind. No way were we going to leave my girl after she just lost her best friend for a long weekend, but I had some commitments.
I got permission and we brought our RV to the rally. How "red neckish" is that? I had my Toy Hauler parked in the Hilton parking lot! And at no charge to boot.
Anyway, I made up this picture and note you see below to further our cause for rescue. We could not walk 10 feet anywhere that weekend with Molly without having people come up to her and ask why she looked so sad.
Saturday afternoon while relaxing and taking a brew break, Molly got up, walked over to the picture, sat and looked at it for a moment. She then cranked her head around looked at me and I swear she had tears. About broke my heart to see her like that.
For the past 3 months just the mention of Misty would have her get that depressed look.

Try writing about it - and Misty was Deb's heart dog not mine!
It is all good though. She was GReat dog, who had a few issues, but GReat just the same. And because of her, we got involved in rescue. That can be both heart breaking and rewarding at the same time.

Harley would have been to easy a name so I named him Scooter. He is now 5 month old Yorkie that LOVES to ride almost as much as Momma and I. I should have called him Magnet cause he's a chick magnet. Big hit at bike night. Scooter's big brother is a 10 year old Yorkie named Petey, but Petey does not ride.

My depressed Molly now has a new companion, a 1 year male Golden. This guy is of Swedish (3/4) and Australian (1/4) and having lineage from across the pond gives him a slightly different look then we are accustomed to.
He is very timid, easily scared and has a hard time keeping his nose out of Molly's butt :nixweiss:, much to her dismay. He can run like a rocket and although he can run a bit faster then the old girl, he he can't keep pace with her zig-zagging, u- turning etc.

Here is Trash. Her 16 year old Maltese sister Scooter doesn't pose much for pics. Great pets.

A rescue, Duane? He's a good looking boy. In your home, he'll get over that being scared thing. It's great that Molly has a buddy now...hopefully, she will perk back up with the new member of the pack.

How long are dog's memories ?
Do they hold a grudge ?
My Dalmatian Zeus had screwed around some with a Great Dane at the local dog park on a couple of occasions.
In the course of playing, Zeus had nipped at the Dane's heels while the two were playing chase and the Dane turned around and sort of trampled on Zeus to where he pulled up lame. Ok, chit happens. Zeus took a week off from running free to heal up and the next couple visits to the park, he and the Dane were fine. A couple more weeks go by where they're either in different pens or playing with other dogs. Exactly two Friday's ago,I'm sitting at one of the benches with Zeus, scratching his ears and just hanging out with him. The Great Dane is off at the other end of the park romping around with a couple of other dogs. I'm talking to one of the other dog Peeps when out of the blue, the Great Dane comes up and latches onto Zeus by the spine. I mean I am terrified, he's gonna break Zeus's spine he's got him. This animal has jaws the size of a bear trap. I hang onto Zeus so he won't fight back and twist and turn and rip skin. Meanwhile the Great Dane's owner finally gets him off Zeus. Much hand wringing by GD's owner and wife and apologies. Full acceptance on their part of the attack being unprovoked. OK, fine, you know, chit happens and not all dogs get along just like people. We agree not to put them in the same off leash pen and establish a 1st come 1st pick of pens policy between us. Imagine my surprise when this week they march the GD into the pen I've already got Zeus in. I question what their doing in light of our agreement and they tell me that their dog was not at fault. My dog had started it several weeks earlier.
OK, so I take Zeus and off we go and I've since changed the time I take Zeus to the off leash park every day BUT, I can't help but scratch my head and wonder how in the hell these folks went from " Oh, we are so sorry, is your dog ok, we have no idea why our dog did this. Oh we hope he didn't hurt your dog" to basically saying screw you and your freakin spotted dog too buster.

B B...I think dogs can remember things to some extent, but pretty much live in the present most of the time. However, another dog's smell is probably something they "remember". Danes are not generally aggressive dogs (a damn good thing), but obviously this one and your dog have a "thing" between them. It could be stopped, but would require a bit of work, on leash, with both animals. When I brought Matrix, the Border Collie mix, home after rescuing him from the car lot I worked at, my male Terrier and he got along fine for several weeks. Rider, the Terrier, was going through his rebellious "teens" at that time...Matrix was probably at least 5 years old. I used to give them treats on the porch after they had gone out and "done their business" in the yard. Matrix started wolfing his down, then making moves to try and get Rider's treat...he let him a couple of times, then all Hell broke loose one evening. Rider clamped onto (Australian Terriers have teeth and mouths much bigger than they apppear, plus extremely strong neck muscles for killing varmits on farms...they shake them to death) Matrixs' left ear and would NOT let go, even though Matrix was lifting him off the ground by raising his head. Rider is about 16lbs, and Matrix is about 50-60lbs. I had to pry his mouth off of the ear. Some damage was done to the ear, but nothing serious. This behavior continued, though Matrix never tried to steal a treat again, for several days...it was all about establishing dominance. I finally had to put Rider in his place and let everyone know that I am the Alpha Male in the pack. They have never had a problem since.
I think Dalmations used to be "coach dogs" originally, and probably nipped horses hindquarters to keep them in line when necessary. Zeus might have thought the Dane was a horse. About the only thing that could be done at this point is to have both on a leash, and let both animals know through correction and body language, who's dominant/calm/assertive. The other dog's owners would have to be on board with it too though, and it sounds like they are attempting to defend their dog's bad behavior. It's too late now, but if your dog was harmed physically, you might have taught them a lesson by sending them a vet bill. They sound irresponsible to me...allowing a dog the size of a Great Dane to be agressive IN ANY WAY is asking for trouble, and must be dealt with immediately, in an appropriate way, of course. Knowing the two dogs had an "issue", and having agreed to what you discussed, then welshing on the aggreement, is at best inconsiderate, and at worst, just being a Prick.
I have to be cautious when introducing Rider (the male Terrier) to other male dogs, even though he's neutered. He has no idea that he's only 16 lbs. I have to really watch his body language and correct immediately...he's just not afraid of anything. You get a giant dog with that kind of attitude, and you've got a real problem on your hands.

How long are dog's memories ?
The real question is: how are you being so 'calm' about this... :confused5:...it's clearly an injustice and complete disrespect of you and your dog. Just because their dog is bigger doesn't give them 'bully' rights. Guess I'm just a bit touchy hearing of your dog being attacked 'twice' and the owner's attitude since just having to put my 13 yr. old hound down (cancer). Heart-broken is a better term, I guess. spyder

Update
Get to the dog park today and while Zeus is romping around playing with everything from a St Bernard to a little small Terrier, the SB's owner who knows the Great Dane's owners tells me the GD has gotten into it with a big (what's that dog from Turner and Hooch ?) and how the GD's owner's were so alarmed because they said the GD had "never attacked another dog before" REALLY ? Anyway, I guess the (weird french name) dog kicked ass on the GD and now the GD's owners are all in a huff. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh you gotta love Karma and big tough dogs with weird sounding french names hahahahahah

That Dane's owners better start watching him a whole lot closer. I've now been acquainted with 6 Danes that have gone from really sweet animals to holy hell on 4 paws. The first 5 were in one family that I knew well (took care of the dogs when they traveled), who attacked a little bastard who was tormenting them one day. The dogs were never the same after that. The 6th is my sister-in-law's dog. She was his vet until his owner got deployed and left the dog with his parents/relatives/family of some type. The guy come back to a dog full of aggression and realizes he can't handle the Dane anymore. He cons my SIL into taking the dog. This dog now has no fear of biting anything or anybody if he even remotely gets an idea to. Even the family 130# Doberman is pushed around by him.
So having seen it with my on eyes, I'm leaning more towards Danes are great animals until mishandled. Then they can become VERY dangerous. As far as the one that Spider is dealing with, a complaint to the local animal control followed by complaints from the other dogs owners who had confrontations will force the owners to keep him out of the park.

So what's the deal with unneutered male dogs around other male dogs ? There is a lady who owns the most perfect Boxer I've ever seen. She breeds him and it's easy to see why. Even if you don't like Boxers, you'd think this dog was gorgeous. He is white with brindle patches and probably right at the breed standard for size. Perfect muscualture. Just amazing energy etc. Anyway, she has to keep him in a separate pen as he will get into a fight with any dog. She barely has control of him as she's like your typical teeny tiny cute sweet little Asian girl. What I don't get is that all the dogs in the pen right next to his (and him) will run back and forth along the fence at full gallop. Sometimes running non-stop for 15-20 minutes. Zeus joined in on Tuesday and got quite a good work-out. I enjoy watching Zeus run. He has the most beautiful stride although with his long legs it takes him a sec to get up to speed. Once he does though he quickly catches and passes the other dogs. He trots at about 10mph and acts like he could do that all day long and not break a sweat. Must be the carriage dog thing. Ok, enough on Zeus. So is there something about the Boxer being a breeder that the other dogs can sense ? Testosterone or whatever. He literally gets any dog near him all wound up running, barking, going nuts.

Yes, other male dogs can tell if a dog is not neutered. An intact dog is not always more agressive, but there is a greater likelyhood, all other things being equal. Some breeds don't exhibit the behavior. I had a male unneutered Australian Terrier a few years ago (a Champion Stud dog), and ANY male dog he came in contact with was fair game, no matter how much larger the dog was. Most Terriers are that way, and serious breeders cannot generally keep more than one stud dog at a time. The other dogs can definitely smell the hormones in the urine when they mark territory. My current Australian Terrier is neutered, but he still stiffens up around other males...he and my male rescue dog had some issues at first, but once Rider, the Terrier, established dominance (over everybody, except me), they get along fine now.
Large breeds are not for everyone...some are very willfull and the owner must always establish him/herself as Alpha or there will be trouble at some point in time.
Zeus sounds like a good dog...and Dalmations are not for everyone either. People who buy/own breeds should do more research on their temperment and fully understand what they are getting when that cute puppy grows up. Mostly it's the owner's fault if the dog exhibits bad behavior. Ear and tail position tells a lot...

Mollys new roomate, Matty.....a chitzu....
While Matty has a hard time with the grandson's toy train and she would bark at it and chase it round and round, she never would actually touch it.

Getting ready to make my annual cross country trek to Maine for the summah. I've always been a loyal Marriott Hotel customer, however they do not allow pets. This year my dog Zeus will be traveling with me. I would appreciate hearing from those of you who travel with a pet as to which hotel chains are pet friendly.
Thanks !

I'm not a cat person either but this cat was just too cool to pass on. When I first saw him I wasn't sure he wouldn't attack and go psycho on me.....ha to ask Don "is he friendly....can you pet him?". Surprisngly, very friendly.

It's my daughter's cat. A Bengal.

To update on an earlier post, although not my favorite motel chain, Motel 6 accepts pets at all of their locations. Since all I need is a bed for me a place for Zeus's doggie bed this works. Saves me a bunch of money over my usual habit of only staying at Marriott or affliates too.

There is nothing worse than a heavy heart when our beloved companion dies. I have 4 Yorkies and the oldest is 8 yrs. I just can't imagine what I would do if something happened to one of them or if I had to make the difficult decision to put one of them down. So sorry for your loss.

Thank you all. This is the 7th of our babies that we've seen go before us in the 38 years we've had cats. Even though it's been that many, it's never easy and never the same as each one of them have had their own little personalities and traits. Chelsey was very special to me personally as she became my buddy from the day we got her...she was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside.
I really appreciate the outpouring of care...having a caring group like you all just makes things easier...

Hate to be writing in this thread but buried my dog Dizzy this afternoon. She would have been ten tomorrow.
Dizzy is an Italian Greyhound. IG was the first dog I ever had as a kid. They are what I've had since. Three really good dogs have stretch actross nearly 40 years of excellent companionship and love.
Dizzy was almost as much puppy at 9 1/2 as she was at four months when I brought her home. Then about three months ago and within a 12 hour stretch she went from perfectly normal to almost completely debilitated. Couldn't stand, profoundly ataxic, just down. She got a little better but only a little.
Never got a firm diagnosis. Medical arts and sciences. Sometimes the art part is finger paints. Not a knock, it's just the way it is. Tried everything; specialists, courses of meds, nothing ever really helped. She'd have the occasional good day and a stretch of bad days. Fortunately never showed any signs of physical discomfort. No pain. She was alert and aware. She wanted her people around.
Most of the last couple months has been hand feedings and being carried outside or too bed though. She'd snuggle against on the couch or in the bed but that's the most she could manage. Lots of attempts at meals and water carried to the happy girl and, unfortunately, lots of meds she was also very good about taking.
Yesterday evening she took a turn for the worse though. Respiration and heart rate both were slowly declining. Made an appointment with the vet for tomorrow but she died here at home this afternoon. I'd done my best not to leave her alone for a couple months. But she passed while I was gone for two hours this afternoon. Can only hope she wasn't afraid. She wasn't alone. My mom was with her and holding her. But I hate it that I wasn't with her.
Was so proud of my niece this afternoon though. She and Dizzy have been close. Both the same age. Puppies together and grew up together. Parker helped me wrap the body and dig a nice grave and place her. Then pulled some rose petals off some of autumn's remnants and spread the petals with the dog. The kid was brave and sweet. Just incredible. It was hard today but in ways she'll never understand she made the afternoon easier.
Ok, that's enough. Dizzy was a great dog. Never a growl. Loved kids. Loved everything (but bunnies and squirrels, hell on bunnies and squirrels). Never happier than on her leash at my knee on her walks. Best dog I've ever had. Her hard time is past and she met it bravely. Damn good dog.
Here she is at about six months old.
-
A little later in life, with a snack!
-
Just a couple years ago resting with her cat after they'd both been playing railroad chasing each other around the house for a solid half hour.
-
This is her wondering why "lap time" hasn't happened immediately upon request. Lap was one of her favorite places. She's enjoyed it a lot lately. But it's always been a first choice.
-
Last one. Always one of my favorites. When Dizzy and Parker were both just a few months old. Great friends ever since.
-
Don, I am really sorry.
I remember when CVO Pets first started...all because of your cat vomit thread :) OH the pictures that were posted on that one.
-
What a beautiful girl. Sounds like a mutual love was found and she'll have a place in your heart to remember her with joy and to miss her with sorrow. You will get over the sorrow in time but not the joy!
-
Don, I am really sorry.

Thought about just that this evening when I went looking for this thread. Several here had met Dizzy over the years so it seemed not inappropriate to share her story. Thanks to everyone for check-ins here and the several PMs or emails. That was nice.
-
Sorry for your loss Don!
-
Sorry to hear of your loss Don. Lost my best friend and companion after 17 years together this past May. It's hard but there will always be the memories.
-
Don, sorry to hear about your precious little girl. That must have been really difficult for you to put her in the ground. I know how much I love my 4 girls and I can't imagine how heavy your heart is today. God bless Dizzy and may she live on in Heaven chasing balls and remember that a dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
-
Don,
Very sorry to hear sad news about Dizzy. It's amazing how we become attached to our pets, they're like part of the family and they pick up personalities to match.. I have two Golden's and I can tell ya, somehow they know when I'm having a bad day. They'll pull something off in tandem that will catch me off guard, sometimes making me laugh to point of tears and then there all over lichen me to death.. I certainly don't look to the day when I loose theses dogs,,, god bless to ya,,, Dizzy looks like awesome dog and we know you will miss her :-\
-
Don, sorry about Dizzy. They are like our kids more than pets. Mine are getting up there and I know the day will come but sure have enjoyed their companionship as I know you did Dizzy.
-
Sorry for your loss, Don. Im sure she was well taken care of.
-
Thanks again guys. My little niece who helped so well and so bravely yesterday called this morning before school to check how I was doing. She's a good kid. Think some serious good has been earned toward her Christmas stash.
The person that had the roughest night last night had to be Dizzy's cat. Poor thing wandered around up and down repeatedly. Long plaintive "weowwwwws" looking for her buddy. The two were the same age. She's a cat from the local shelter I got so Dizzy would have a companion. They alwasy played great together. They came home only a few days apart. She finally stopped and settled a couple hours ago.
I'm still moderately bummed. Since it had to happen I'm still glad the dog passed at home with her pet companions around and in comfortable surroundings. Better than being euthanized on the sterile cold vet's table. Fortunately she never was in any physical discomfort. In fact an absence of pain seemed to mark whatever it was she had.
And now another day. Got to go give the cat some attention. When you're a cat and your name is Lincoln Garfield McKinley knowing that you're named after assassinated Presidents seems to give you license to be demanding.

Damn, Don, I'm really sorry to hear this. I know how much Dizzy meant to you, and though we never got to meet, I know how great any of the Greyhound derivatives are as companions. Gentle, sweet, and very sensitive to their humans.
If you recall, Shug, my adotpted Greyhound, went through a similar decline. Suddenly, and nobody ever figured out what was wrong with him.
Dizzy...rest in peace.

Dizzy...rest in peace.
I did a lot of homework the last 2 1/2 months trying to figure out what was going on when the local vets or regional specialists couldn't nail it down. Was weird that her first day she went from seeming entirely normal to being almost totally down in a span of 12 hours.
Prior to that I'd noticed very light tremors in her jowels over the prior couple days. Mine, then the vet's, first thought was these were petite mal seizures. Either some developed epilipsy on its own or brought along consequent to a stroke or brain tumor. Anti-seizure meds made no difference though. Different meds were tried. Closer and extended observation made me believe it wasn't seizures though. Have dealt with that before and this just wasn't quite that.
The vet then thought it was the activation of some long simmering tick borne illness. There are several. No definitive results from any tests to support this. Diagnosis was entirely inferential.
Diz just kept getting weaker and weaker though. Pronounced lack of signs of pain or other discomfort seemed odd (at least to me). Though she looked like a people might in the throes of a significant MS episode. Vets kept saying there's no canine analog though. So what do I know....
More blood tests than seemed fair and a host of other things checked for over the three months never produced any definitive answer. No course of meds ever made any change at all. As I kept digging I think she developed a slightly atypical (because of the sudden nature of the presentation, even though it could have been brewing for a long time) case of either degenerative myelopathy ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_degenerative_myelopathy ) Depending on sources this is the same thing or something very similar to canine degenerative neuropathy.
Of everything I could find the pathogenesis of the disease states track with Dizzy's decline and presentation even including the lack of pain. Without a necropsy won't ever know for sure. And it won't have made a bit of difference as there is no treatment. This is what I think got her though.
I remember when your big Greyhound got sick Terry. Thought about that more than once during Dizzy's illness. Glad they're both through their tough times but wish it hadn't happened to them.

Sorry to hear this Don I know Dizzy filled a very special spot in your and you family's Hearts and will be missed. We lost our 15 year old English Setter "Megg" this year. Her companion a 11 year old Boxer remains, "Sussie" and Val keeps reminding me no more Dogs for it is hard to travel when we have Pets. I have never been Pet free and it will be tough.
My Granddaughter really touched my Heart on my Birthday she gave me two framed pictures one with Megg and a BEST Friend Frame. Another framed picture with myself, Megg and Sussie which where begging to share my Supper. Brought Tears to my eyes.
It does get a little better with time. :angel: :ons_1:

Amen to all that Brad. Every bit. Spent the afternoon with my niece again after school and just dropped her off for the evening. She's really working hard on the new puppy idea.... Optimism like this is contagious.
Trouble is she already has a breed in mind. I just looked it up as it wasn't one I was familiar with. Great Pyrennes. Good lord.... This thing is named after a mountain range for a reason!

Sorry to read this tonight and it's almost as if my Molly knew I was reading something sad, she is sitting next to leaning in and resting her head on my knee with that oh so sad look. She offers her warm thoughts as well.you finished your time with Dizzy. Showers are a good thing after these events, no one can hear you.
Parker is a brave one and a good match to keep you together while.
Some time ago after we lost our third Golden to the big C, I wrote a piece for one of the Golden forums titled "Why cant they just pass in the night".
As sad as it is, passing the way Dizzy did is the most comforting. I never had to do "the deed" until I was over 40 and it was horrible.
I hope all your memories will be pleasant ones.

Thanks Duane. Last night and today I've thought a couple of times about your writings of your dogs and the pics of that beautiful dog in the garage with you as your worked on the bike. When it wasn't too cool (Italian Greyhounds are skinny and cranky about the cold) Dizzy had her spot in the shop too. Big pillow that one dare not disturb for if it was you got "the look." You know, the one that says "uh, that's my spot."
The first IG I had I got for Christmas when I was eight. Red dog named Stupe (tried to name him after Charlie Brown's Snoopy but I got it wrong). Ball chasing fool. Would run after thrown balls until he'd trip over his tongue. Would literally run up the side of a tree to get a ball placed as high as a grown man could place it. Stupe moved from SoCal to Missouri, discovered winter and was with me until I was 23. He had a stroke and had to be euthanized. Had never done anything harder.
Couple of years later got another IG. Also named Stupe (so I wasn't terribly creative). Stupe II was a cranky little chit. Loved me. Loved playing fetch for a little while. Then would give you this look that said "hey, you know this is redundant don't you?" Then he'd leave the ball where it was and walk back. II was afraid of cats though. I'm sure it hurt his ego a little. This Stupe made it until he was 15 also. Then heart and kidney issues made it time to avoid some serious pain that would have been his last weeks. Thought it would be easier the second time. I was wrong. Hell, it had been easier with many people that had passed than it was standing there holding the dog while the meds did their work.
Couple of years in between than another IG. That was Dizzy. The absolute happiest of the three. More puppy in her that stayed her whole life than the other two. They were all good dogs; just different. Dizzy wouldn't fetch for chit though. Just not her thing. But she loved being on a leash and getting her walks. Three or four miles meeting people or others dogs on their leashes and she ate up every minute of it. Never much off pace and right at the knee. Were it not for the prospect of seeing a rabbit or a squirrel and having the sight hound part of her kick in (and brain turn off) she could have walked without a leash. This dog loved everyone of any age and every other pet she ever saw. Affectionate and content around her people. Just a great great dog. Wish she'd had the extra five years or so the others got. But if it wasn't to be I'm glad she passed here comfortably rather than on a cold stainless table with a needle in her leg. I can't know if it was easier for her but damn it was for me.
Parker had a lot more questions today than yesterday. Yesterday she was just the diligent caring worker and helper making sure everything seemed pretty and comfortable. Dizzy's favorite towel. A nice box. The hole was "just right." That I was ok. Today, however, it was different. You could tell the kid hadn't stopped thinking. Questions about death and were we "sure" Dizzy was actually dead when we buried. Had anyone ever mistakenly been buried when they "weren't quite" dead yet? Questions about passing and what comes next. Deep thinking for a nine year old. All while walking an Audobon trail on a warm autumnal day watching pelicans in the adjacent creek and the leaves falling. It's impossible not to be proud of that little girl and not to be impressed by the intellect and thoughtfulness she's developed already.

Judy...have you ever looked at the Fido Fleece jackets for dogs? I had a large Greyhound, and even in Alabama the winters can be cold/damp, so got him one. He LOVED it. Very easy to put on the dog, and it keeps their underbelly nice and warm without restricting the movement of their rear legs like most doggie sweaters, etc. Plus, you don't have to pull it over their head..velcro closure the length of the back and two front leg holes. Lay it open on the floor, put the dog standing on it, pull it up and over the front legs, velcro it up, and you're done. All SIX of our dogs have one of them...they last forever. Check 'em out at BaxterBoo.com

Dave it's fixed. Can't really explain why it's posting the way it is if when you are viewing it, it is not upside down. I would imagine whatever you are using to view the program is flipping it right side up but when you attach it to the post it's keeping it's (upside down) orientation. :nixweiss: If you are using a new computer/software to view/post the pictures with you may try looking in the settings and see if it's automatically orientating the pictures for viewing.

The iPad can sense its own orientation and adjust your view accordingly. It just adjusts the presentation for your view though. It doesn't change the orientation of the original image file. So if posted somewhere else the presentation will be whatever is the aspect of the image file.

This is how she looks just before we get rolling. Ok, before all you dog lover/cat hater people threaten me with death, let me say she only rides like this from my house to my barn - bout 1/2 mile. She ain't really happy bout it but she absolutely loves getting in the hay loft and chasing mice and lizards. When the sun is out, I usually ride my scoot and the look on her face when I pull out without her speaks volumes.
-
Dogs love any attention they get. For that short period she is probably cool with it.

They have a website with the dogs up for adopotion posted. If you love dogs and I mean really love dogs, Dals are the best. They are called "velcro dogs" because they attach themselves to you. After having Dr Zeus for two years, I think the knock on Dals being hyper is not so much that as it is that they do cling to you. Some people simply cannot deal with it. Here's a picture of Dr Zeus. There is a dog up for adoption right now named Tango that looks just like him

All of our close friends still wonder why we don't have a "firedog"

My dog died last summer. Over a few months from something called degenerative myalgea (forgive the spelling if it's wrong). Dizzy was an Italian Greyhound. Italian Greyhounds were all I'd ever had. Loved the midget Greyhounds since got my first one back in about third grade.
So most of a year has passed and hadn't gotten another dog. Until today. TC, was thinking of you for the last few days as securing this girl has been in the works. Brought her home this afternoon.
Brindle coated full Greyhound. Raced when she was young that got stuck as a breeder. Six years old last month and was retired from being an inventory supply tool.
So far so good. She's actually got a personality already. Not timid. No aggression around other animals. Played with my niece just fine. Coat is a mess. Bathed and brushed and got six dogs worth of dead hair and dandruff out of her. Though she dug the bath time.
Pretty sure she'd never had a chance to just be loose in a large open area. Got about an acre and a half inside the fence and when first turned loose she just sat and looked around. Seemed a bit intimidated by it all. After a bit, however, she figured out it was fun to run. Full tilt as far as she could go back and forth until she was exhausted.
Seems good on a leash. Fell in love with the couch. So far has shown good potty training habits too. So apparently not a life entirely in a crate or a kennel run. But she was still a bit run down. Next couple of weeks will make a big difference for her. Some good food and getting her coat and skin in good condition will be huge. Aside from that the vet says she's in good health. Spayed last week and had only weaned her last litter a couple months ago. Now she gets to take it easy.
My niece Parker got to name her (she didn't know her own name of record before so we could start over). Kid liked that her coat was called brindle. Thought it was a pretty name. So now she's Brindle the brindle Greyhound.

This is the Dutch CVO DOG his name is ARCO and he supposedly is a BOUVIER, but he Does not know it.
He is about 10 centimeters higher as a BOUVIER should be according to the "specialists"
And his weight is 63 Kilogram, and there comes the problem. His habit is to behave as a CIHUAHUA
and thinks it is fun that when I am sitting on the couch to take a run and jump on my lap :oops:
I can assure you that hurts.

Adoption is one of the best and worthy things we've ever done , just don't quote me after a rainy day and our 2 Jack Russels have terrorized the squirrels in the muddy back yard. Good luck with Brindle Don........................................................Fuzz :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks Rich. It's only been about 16 hours now but she seems to have latched on to me. She'll get more comfortable and gain her sea legs then be more comfortable wandering the house on her own. But right now if I move she does. On her new big dog pillow here in the office right now. Last night she started out on her other new big dog pillow at the end of the bed. But sometime after I went to sleep that didn't last. That was interesting to wake up to. Stretched out nose to tail and apparently quite content a Greyhound takes up a LOT of room.
She is loving the yard though. Unpurposed running entirely for its own sake is a new game right now. I need to teach her to chase a ball and play fetch.

I think this qualifies as "feeling no pain after breakfast." :2vrolijk_21:

Don, looks like another, happy rescued animal. Always like to see rescues go to good homes.

Don't recall if you made the 2008 York trip. I took LtBawb, another rescue greyhound lover, over to Gettysburg HD. Guess what day it was - Greyhound Rescue Day! There must have been 2-300 greyhounds there that day.

I missed that one Duane but you or someone sent me pics. It looked awesome.
The new-to-her food she started yesterday should actually be ok. It's a slightly richer canned food she'll be on for awhile to help perk her coat back up where it belong. But she's no doubt ever had only the cheapest dry chit the breeders could give her. So while she likes it just fine she's going to have a case of the smelly poots for a few days until she gets used to it a bit. Fortunately (for her) the smell of her own farts doesn't seem to bother her... :drink:

Hey Don,
Congrats on Brindle.
Greyhounds are fast friends
Cool that she's a rescue dog
:2vrolijk_21:
Wife & I almost got another Dal to keep Dr Zeus company but the shelter said the one up for adoption needed to be in a single dog home. Dals are needy and I guess this one (Tango) was especially needy. FYI, they don't pester you for attention, they just stay very close.
For anyone looking for a Dalmatian, Tango is full on Dal. 5 years old and after nearly starving to death, coming back very well. Loves to run You can see pictures of him on the Dalmatian Rescue of Southern California website.

Thanks Brian, thanks Greg. Have already learned one slightly unexpected difference between the Italian Greyhounds and the big one. The big one tolerates cool weather much better. Dizzy couldn't go on our walks with temps much below 50. That took sweater. Brindle has been out in the yard for 15--20 minute stretches in high 30 degree temps today without getting the shivers. So when it hit 45 just a bit ago decided to see how she'd do on a leash.
For a first time on a walk she did very well. Didn't try to lead too much but didn't understand that crossing in front of me would trip us both. She got the hang of it quickly though. Only issue is that she's just never done much of it before. Her stamina isn't what you'd hope for. After about six blocks of consistent walking at a decent pace she was done. She's also a bit tender footed so the sidewalk wasn't her friend.
Those things will change though. Just playing in the yard and slowly extending our walks will aid her stamina and toughen up her feet. She'll get getter slowly as time goes by.

Shug was different in that regard...he came pretty much straight from the track, so had HUGE muscles in his upper legs, particularly his rear haunches. Feet were tender though. It really is a joy to see them running just for the sheer joy of running instead of chasing something fake on a track. He used to love it down at my friends lake house when the water was down...the soil was sandy/clay and he could fly like the wind on that surface. They are not known for their stamina though...after about 5 minutes of running like that, he was ready for the couch again. He would do OK outside with the Terriers (different ones back then) down to about 45 degrees if he had a nice bed to snuggle into. Colder than that...I found the Fido Fleece jackets to be the easiest to put on and least restrictive. All my current dogs have one of their jackets. Very warm and they soon learn to step right into it.

Brin so far has been surprisingly cool weathe resilient TC. Much more than I expected. Hasn't shivered or shown signs of much discomfort in temps to about 40. Warmer weather is actually harder on her so far. We can go for walks in 50 degree weather and she's good for a couple miles. In 75 degree weather she's showing signs of getting gassed after 7-8 blocks. It's getting a little better as she plays in the yard more. But damn this dog can rest. Plop, stretch, down for the count! Carpet or couch and she's as content as one dog could possibly be.

Yea...they are lazy. :huepfenlol2: Perfectly happy to stretch out on the carpet and especially the couch. A lot of folks think they would be hyper, and they are anything but. Big babies, and very sensitive to scolding. They know where they are in space too, unlike some other large dogs. Graceful would be the word, I think. They can fart like pack mules though, especially if they eat a food that has a lot of corn as filler. I fed Flint River Ranch and still do...cuts down on the gas, and is an excellent food. Have to order it on line though. Glad Brin has found a good forever home... :2vrolijk_21:

Sorry but it isn't exactly a fairytale ending. I have a screened in porch out back and he likes to end his victims there. He has a hole in the screen but knows his victims aren't fortunate enough to figure it out. I call my porch the battle dome because of the random animal parts I find in the morning. I think my cat caught too many episodes of Dexter.

Fortunately he woke me up about 1 a.m. and let me know he was in distress. Many years ago we had an Akita suffer "bloat" (stomach torsion), so even half asleep I recognized the symptoms. We immediately left for the Emergency Veterinary Hospital. We called on the way, and they took him directly into the operating room. I thought they would diagnose stomach torsion with Rocky, but as it turned out, it was his spleen instead of his stomach. While in there, they "tacked" his stomach to eliminate any future issues with it...
Our longer term concern is with Kodi, as statistically 50% to 60% (dependent on breed) of dogs suffering a torn ACL in one knee, will suffer the same injury in the opposite knee within one year. They believe this is caused by the added strain placed on the "good" knee while the "bad" knee is recovering (which can take 6 to 9 months to fully recover).

Coincidentally that is very close percentage to adults with rotator cuff surgery. Best of luck and speedy recoveries to your best friends ;)

Must be something going around concerning the Pancreas. Runtz was sick, throwing up and basically not feeling well three weeks ago over a weekend. Ended up taking her Sunday afternoon to the emergency clinic. Medicine and fluids, she was better until Monday afternoon when I got home. Burning up and very lethargic, took her straight to her vet (a shout out to Dr. Shaw...one heck of a vet and treats ALL of his animals like they are his own...blessed we have him). Her blood work showed pancreatic issues and she stayed in there for 4 days with IV fluids/anti biotics and pain medicine. While he was optimistic, the chance she wouldn't come out was great. I've cried for animals/people before but never like that...Vickie and me both were boo-hooing.....Runtz is my couch buddy.
Good news is she pulled through but is now on special food for the rest of her life....small price to pay IMO to keep 'em healthy. Thing is, she likes the food (and Aubrie loves it) so they both benefited from this. Still, I can't stand to see them sick/in pain....makes my heart hurt.
Runtz is the squirt in the back of this photo and sure happy she's feeling better. Hard to believe she and Aubrie are both from the same litter (sisters) as Runtz looks so much older with all that grey....I know how she feels... ;D

So sorry to hear about Runtz Howard. I know that when they have a Pancreas attack they are very sick. What I have learned to prevent future attacks I will share with you.
1. NEVER let them have fatty food.
2. Always feed them food that is room temp. I use to just feed her food from the can right out of the fridge, but
now I microwave it to get the chill off.
3. It is better to feed them small portion's multiple times a day than to feed them a full serving at one time.
Small feeding's keep the Pancreas from having to work hard to digest. She now takes me to the kitchen every
few hours when she is hungry and I just sit her bowl back down on the floor. She only has an appetite right
now for small portions. We start out in the morning with a normal size amount of food in her bowl and it takes
her all day to finish it.
4. If they ever get sick again or show any symptoms of another attack, the worst thing you can do is let them have
food. They need to go 24 to 48 hrs without food so the pancreas can rest.
5. Pepcid (people version) is a great medicine for calming their stomach when it gets upset. I give her a squirt
of this and it really helps her stomach.
I hope these tips help you! And I hope you stay healthy Runtz. :2vrolijk_21:

Thanks Judy. Yep, no treats and only the prescription can and Science Diet dry for her now. I do the small portions thing and it's working. She was a sick little girl for a while. She doesn't like staying without Aubrie and she was at the vet for the 4 days....not sure that wasn't worse on her nerves than being sick. She sure was glad to be home with her sister (and us, too).
She's always eaten well (no fatty anything) but according to Dr. Shaw, anything can trigger it. He told the story of his mother's dog and there wasn't anything that dog ate that she didn't know what it was, where it came from and what was in it. She was meticulous about care for that dog...got sick one day and two days later was gone because of a pancreatic issue. No prior sickness up to this. He stated there are things you can do to help prevent issues (some of which you have stated) but it's one of those things that hit when you don't expect it.
And Scott (sadunbar), glad your dogs are doing better...meant to say that at the first of my post and it slipped my mind....sorry about that.

So nice to hear your little dogs are recovering. Both Howard and Judy. :2vrolijk_21: I got a call from a friend of mine who has 5 little dogs and a German Sheperd. The oldest little one of 15 years died in his mothers arms yesterday. So hard to lose our furry little friends.

You are right Howard, sometimes there is no logical reason for the attack. Research has shed some light on it and it might be brought on by a viral/bacterial infection. My Shelby had never been sick and has always eaten only premium (Science Diet) dog food. Since I thought it was doggie flu and she wasn't drinking from vomiting, I forced water in her until my vet got back in town to keep her from getting dehydrated. This is the only reason why she didn't end up spending days in the animal hospital getting IV fluids. She is doing better but her appetite isn't back where it should be yet but she is eating and drinking, so I will let her take her time.
I'm so happy your little one pulled out of her attack and I'm sure she missed her sister! I have 3 other Yorkies and they never want to be separated, so I know what you mean about how much they miss each other.
Also, a shout out to everyone for your concern when any of us have to watch one of our "kid's" get this sick! Thank you!

Wow Scott, that is a big load rehabbing 2 big dogs at the same time. Hopefully both recover well and quick.
Judy, nice looking little fellers you have there and hope yours heals up fast.
Thank you Rooster for your concern. :)

All,
Here is a picture of Buddy, he is our 18 Month Border Collie X Great Pyrenees. We have had since he was 3 months old. In the country these guys are used as Predator Dogs, they keep Predators away from sheep, calves etc. Don't let his gentle innocent looking demeanour fool you. When he see coyotes he is off after them and its amazing what this type of dog can do, besides herding and protecting livestock. They are also great guard dogs.

Judy, those aren't dogs. I once worked with this Mexican fellow that needed to ride with my wife as she was going where he needed to go but she had two of our dogs with her and he said I am afraid of dogs. I told him not to worry I gaurantee they won't hurt him. When he returned I asked if the dogs bothered him. His response was " Those aren't Dogs those are people".

Don't remember if I had shared Juno. Have had her since March I think. She is another Greyhound rescue dog. She is 8 now and has settled in really really well. Her predecessor was named Brindle who was a great dog too but she had some health issues. Juno has now settled in to claim the pillows. As you can tell by the picture she is very tense.

Yesterday was a very sad day in our household. We lost the sweetest dog we've have ever had to heart disease. Aubrie was just a bit over 9 years old and the happiest girl you would ever meet, even up to the end. We will miss her waiting for her sister to finish eating so she can lick her bowl, her constantantly changing expressions, that never ending tail wagging, leaping and hopping in the snow (and any cold weather), that cow tongue that the Lord blessed her with and she used generously and a joy in our life.
Aubrie, we will surely miss you girl.

Geez Howard,
I am so sorry to hear of this. Those little ones are never to be forgotten and the memories will never Pass.
Hold tight with Vickie and like all things the wound will start to close.
Take care,
Greg

Sorry to hear about your Aubrie. Losing a pet is never an easy thing.
We lost our 11 year old Saki a couple of years ago and it sucked. After a month or so of being really bummed out and worrying about our other dog Sumo we now have Shoji to keep him company.
As much as it hurt us losing Saki I think he always knew that he spent his life being spoiled to no end.

Brought a new rescue pooch home today. Got a call advising about him this morning and the timing was right so made the road trip to bring him home.
A Greyhound I'd had for quite awhile passed away back in late February. A brindle female named Brindle. She was a rescue and was a great dog but wasn't in great health when I got her. She'd had a rough life. She had a good last couple years here before some GI problems caught up with her.
About a month after she passed I got the (smaller female) dog in this picture named Juno. She's a great dog too. Though there are a couple of small Italian Greyhound sort-of-dogs here also that she gets along with at the Greyhound rescue get togethers Juno always gravitates to the males. She seems to like the big boys as buddies.
This morning found out this boy that had been on the track until he was about three then in someone's home was having to come back through the system. It was a people problem and not a dog problem but the issues were going to rain down on the dog. So Juno and I went to visit and brought him home.
So far so good. He's both sweet and playful and has no issues with the little sort-of-dog-like things nor the cat. He's a big boy too. Close to 90 pounds and that's big for a Greyhound. The two dogs are within a month of the same age both turning seven this past spring. So hopefully they'll be a good pair.
Already found out this evening they walk well on leashes together. The new guy is named Marley and it seemed he'd spent little or not time on a leash before. But six blocks in to the walk he was doing great.
Now, of course, he and Juno and all the rest are passed out. Rescue Greyhounds have such difficult lives....

That's awesome Twolanerider

Thanks Duane. After what has now been less than a day at his new home Marley is settling in well. Was a little restless to begin with just figuring everything out as they all do. But now has picked his favorite spot on the floor his favorite dog bed and is stretched out with all fours up in the air as greyhounds often want to do. He is still staying with me pretty well step for step while he's awake though. He also pulled a funny about 6 o'clock this morning when he saw himself in a mirror for apparently the first time. That was a big dog bark!
-

I'm sure once he gets on a consistent diet he'll settle down.

very rare to get all monks in one photo! 2 marmosets, 2 coton top tamarins and a capuchin =) We love them all
-
The new guy has now had a complete weekend to get settled in. Couple of two mile walks with Juno and the pair have settled in wonderfully with each other. They neither pay much attention to the small dogs; but that's the biggest reason I thought Juno needed a big buddy of her own.
Here's Juno today prancing around the yard while I was adjusting her collar:
-
And here's Marley after I'd awakened him from his nap inside the gazebo:
-
Here's a decent shot of the pair together along with the little blonde IG. The new dog Marley really is the large economy sized Greyhound. Full head taller and just over twenty pounds heavier than Juno. Greyhounds surely aren't the biggest dogs out there. Not even close. But for a Grey ninety pounds is a good sized dog.
So far he's still got some playful puppy in him too. A very happy camper. Still taking nearly every step I do when he's away but he's gotten much more content in just a day's time.
-
Looks to be the making of a long term relationship - time for a trailer for the bike
-

I hope they'll be a good pairing for each other. Juno (the dog here first) needed a buddy her own size. A few of the Greyhound GTGs taught me that. The little dogs of my moms that predated Juno were too often just disregarded. But Juno really liked meeting the big boys at the GTGs.
The first day Juno was, maybe, a little jealous. Juno loves to go for her walks and loves her several minute runs around the yard a couple of times a day. Aside from that, however, she is the laziest dog I have ever had :huepfenlol2: . So when the new boy came in and, despite being the same age, seemed to still have a little playful puppy left in him Juno seemed a bit flummoxed by the new activity and the way Marley came for extra attention as he was trying to find his way around the new house.
A couple of long walks together on their leashes helped that a lot though. By 24 hours in they were running together in the yard and she was going out of her to engage with him. First night at home together they slept at separate ends of the house. Second night in they were together on the same pile of dog pillows. So all is good dogville :2vrolijk_21: .

Thanks Mike. I admit I like watching them run around the yard. The pair here have been together long enough now that they're running and playing together and that is fun to watch (that is when it's not during the 18-21 hours a day they are vegged out). And.... hmmm.... for whatever reason I just never see rabbits in the yard....

In a week's time it seems the new guy has settled in admirably. This is 90 pounds of "hell yeah I'm good."
-
It also seems Marley the new guy and the housemates here before him are doing quite well together. In the literature shared among the rescue Greyhound groups is a warning that rescued racers will likely not sleep well together; at least not for a long time. Growing up in the very regimented kennel environments of the race tracks one of the few things they have that is "theirs" is a place to sleep. So the warning is that is one thing they will often not share well.
Well.... last night I went to sleep warm and cozy and stretched out without hinderance to move around however the hell I pleased. Woke up this morning covered in sweat to find myself somehow surrounded by and wormed in between this. Was being spooned on three sides. Bastards....

Don, somehow I don't see you putting this group out in the yard. They are beautiful. Can you teach them to chase siblings? Or get the sibling to wear a bunny suit. :2vrolijk_21:

The one place off limits in our house is the bed - For the longest time pups weren't even in the bedroom. It is hard enough keeping dog hair off a dark uniform without having them spreading the fur all over the bedroom.
But - when I retire - all bets are off :orange:

You are soooo incredibly right. Greyhounds are not outside dogs. And they will let you know it. For a little while, when the weather is too they're liking, and they have a mind to, the outdoors is a wonderful place. But the inside with its soft surfaces and ready food and water is a muuuuch more wonderful place.
It would be so nice, however, if they could chase siblings (I've only got one). When they do chase and catch they are sooo good about bringing the capture right to the door and are so proud of what they've done. I can close my eyes and imagine the sibling, drunkenly grinning and hanging there in the big dog's jaws, just waiting to be dropped indoors. I'd toss her back outside and tell the dog to go play the game again!

While the Greyhounds aren't entirely shed free there is a huge difference between them and your beauts Duane. I just put up with the little shedding these guys will do though. Pretty much always have. It's a small price. All at once in the bed was a new thing though. There is a big bed pillow on the bedroom floor that someone usually ends up on. Who knows what was going on last night? I was asleep...

We have 5 dogs but all pretty small. King size bed, 5 dogs, wife and I hang onto the very edges not to fall out while they all live like kings and queens. They all have hair rather than fur so it's not too bad. 4 out of 5 rescues.

Not our pup, but one of our good friend's fur babies. Last year "Sue" was losing one of her cherished pups to cancer and asked if I could try and get some shots for her for a keepsake. Out of 50 or so this was an all around favorite.
It was chosen for publication in the Golden Retriever magazine, which was put out just in time for the now running 2014 GRCA National Specialty in Asheville, NC.
Below is a picture someone took of the mag and sent to us.
"Shilah" passed away less then a month after this shot.

We took our Yellow Lab "Jade" in for ACL surgery on Friday. She did the damage jumping out of my truck one day.
We have made her a pen in the corner of the garage, and of course Kathy has set up our bedroom for the next 12 weeks in the garage with Jade.

Remember my adopted, paralyzed 3 yr dog that I adopted in March, 2014? I'm posting this long overdue update on her. She received her Therapy Dog Certification in July and she takes her Mission of visiting our Veterans at hospitals, Clinics, and attends VA Events. She has brought many smiles to those service members suffering from PTSD, physical disabilities and emotional problems. She still remains the only Certified dog that works primarily with our Veterans.
This past Saturday she was recognized at the New Mexico State University football game on the field. She wheeled herself out on the field with me holding her leash and the announcer gave a brief speech recognizing her achievements and service to our Veterans. She received a standing ovation. I couldn't have been more proud of her!
Her second Mission that is close to her heart is accepting donations through a website she created called http://www.mangosfreedomwheels.com where we screen and qualify other dogs and cats that need assistance with a Wheelcart due to paralyzes, loss of legs, or from injuries. All
recipients receive a wheelcart custom made for them from our Angel donors and ruff Rollin Wheelcarts from Montana. Please check out her web page!
-
It was so awesome to see the video of you and Mango going out on that football field, she was a little trooper...You and Mango are doing so much to help others, not only the Veterans, but other paralyzed dogs and cats that are in need of a wheel cart, Great job Judy.

I have kind of a like - hate feelings of the not quite ready for prime time firestone air ride suspension on my truck.
F-350 dually, towing a 17-18K Toy hauler. This is the second time my suspension failed on a camping trip.
Was on a really bad stretch of Rt 81 near Scranton and it was pouring. Temp repair to get my air ride hitch at least working.
An F-350 with no rear suspension rides really bad. So bad, one of my one pups lips start flopping around :huepfenjump3:

Today is my baby's 10th Birthday
:2vrolijk_06:
9 years and 1 month ago she was destined to euthanasia.
We were the last "try" the local shelter did.
They called us (knowing we did Golden Rescue work) and asked if we could just give a try and see what is up with this wild rambunctious pup.
"No commitment, just try"
At the time she was only 11 months old and had been in 5 homes already!
Such a problem child that the local Animal Control officer pulled her from the shelter to give her one last try at her home.
She was the one that called us.
I've had dogs, cats etc my whole life and have never had one so attached to me as this one.
We tell all the newcomers to the Golden world (all large dogs included) that every day past 10 is a blessing. So starting tomorrow she gets an extra hug every day.

Tasha (one of our Maltese) passed away this morning, she had a year long illness with a leaky heart, she was a great dog. :(

Sorry to hear. People without pets don't understand the attachment hence the grief.

We were comming home from SC several months ago and decided to take a stroll thru the Mecklenburg Animal Shelter. How could you say no to this...........................meet "Harley"

To TAZZ

Tazz has been a part of this CVO family as long as I have been here.
God Bless Tazz
-
No words can describe the loss of a true loyal friend. I am sorry to read of Tazz passing. I read somewhere once, that dogs were God's gift to us. Hence why dog is God spelt backwards. Either way there love is the same...and loyal and forever by your side.
-
At least he is not suffering any longer.......very hard for the family he leaves behind. I'm sure you will be together again someday.
-
Sorry for your loss. Dogs are truly man’s best friend.

Really Sorry for the loss of your best friend TAZ.
Hang in there Neal you will be with him again

So sorry about Tazz, he will be waiting for you at the Bridge, I have many there waiting for me.

Neal, I'm sorry to be late in offering my sincere and deeply felt condolences. I know that Tazz was not only special to you and Sue and the kids but special to everyone. This being your website, he was our unofficial mascot, or maybe he was actually our official one. Either way, as I look across the room at Dr Zeus and think of how lonely Upta Camp would be many days withough him my eyes actually tear up for you. Everyone is different when it comes to finding another new best friend. For me, it has always been serendipity. Something out of the blue kicks me in the ass and off I go in search of another heart break. But it's one worth living through when you think of all the times Taz put a smile on your face, pulled you out of a funk, maybe was the go between in a tiff with you and Sue. Just so many things they do for us.
Rest in Peace Taz

Just saw this Neil. Really sorry; and for the belated notice. Always looked like such a great dog when you shared. All the best.
-
I missed it too. Please accept my condolences as well. Sorry they're belated.
They say only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out the window and vice versa. I think this thread and others I've seen in other places points out just how much our pets become part of our family in the biker community. I truly believe the dog of a biker is the luckiest dog in the world. He or she is going to get the most love and care imaginable. Your Tazz was very lucky.

I have no problem with folks buying "pedigree" pets from puppy mills but I swear on my last dogs grave, the best dawgs I have ever had were rescue dogs of mixed breed. If you think about it, they are also true American dawgs. As Americans we are all mutts. look at us. When push comes to shove we can kick crap out of any and every pure bred nationality in the world. Why would a dawg be any different. :P

Because you took the picture with your iphone, with the latest update, holding the phone up and down to take the picture. Hold the phone sideways with the volumn button pointed down to the floor. That is the way a phone is oriented even though looking at a picture on your phone it will turn it upright regardless of how you're holding your phone.

Bye Wesley. Now you can chase rabbits and squirrels in a MUCH bigger yard. So sorry Kim. How long before you're thinking another rescued racer comes home?

And here's Princess, a rescue Turkish Angora. A real lady. We adopted her 8 years ago when she was 1. Follows me around the house when I'm doing chores to keep me company, will not eat her food unless I'm the one to put it in her bowl, and does not climb up on the kitchen counters or the breakfast table because she knows her mom would be upset.

Don,
We still have Greyhounds Myles and Keera.
Lola is a mixed breed (Lab and ?), and Lucy is a 16 year old Toy Fox Terrier.
With Wesley gone, we will have a little room to foster again.
In the past 15 years we have fostered (as near as we can tell) 53 Greyhounds.
Letting the foster dogs go to their families is sometimes near as difficult as them crossing over. (others not so much)
Good families helps.
Thanks,
Kim
Ps. I'll try and get pics up this weekend of the others.

Been a rough year. A year ago yesterday we lost our Molly to renal cancer. She hid it well and by the time it was diagnosed she had 2 days with us. Right up to our last ride she was smiling.
Still hard to talk or write about her.
One of my favorite shots of her, a nightly ritual when we sat down to watch TV. The original iPhone pic is good enough to be a 16x20 hanging over our chairs.

http://vid96.photobucket.com/albums/l173/porthole2/Animals/MollyRescueparade.mp4 (http://vid96.photobucket.com/albums/l173/porthole2/Animals/MollyRescueparade.mp4)
We move on and take comfort in knowing there are more pups that need our help in life.
We rescued another Golden in February that had an equally hard start in life. She is a hand full and challenging at times. But we swear she got ahold of Molly's book and read it cover to cover!
Her story will be forthcoming.
Today is my baby's 10th Birthday
:2vrolijk_06:
9 years and 1 month ago she was destined to euthanasia.
We were the last "try" the local shelter did.
They called us (knowing we did Golden Rescue work) and asked if we could just give a try and see what is up with this wild rambunctious pup.
"No commitment, just try"
At the time she was only 11 months old and had been in 5 homes already!
Such a problem child that the local Animal Control officer pulled her from the shelter to give her one last try at her home.
She was the one that called us.
I've had dogs, cats etc my whole life and have never had one so attached to me as this one.
We tell all the newcomers to the Golden world (all large dogs included) that every day past 10 is a blessing. So starting tomorrow she gets an extra hug every day.

We still have a toy stuffed rabbit that belonged to our first Doberman rescue Zeus. For years after he passed I kept it hid away so our new rescues wouldn't get it. Finally last year I let Nikki who we rescued 3 years ago have it. Funny though I still don't let her take it outside because I don't want it to get destroyed.
That darn rabbit is over twenty years old, but still you can still tell its a rabbit. Funny how certain things bring back pleasant memories.

I think you can be sure your dogs have become friends when you walk in and find them sleeping (on your bed) like this.

Or when they road trip like this.

Or, maybe, when you can sleep like this there is just nothing much that worries you :drink: .

Hahaha yeah, she is that. I'm still not a cat person per se, but until I had her I didn't understand the appeal. I had to put down my schnauzer last year and right before he went we picked her up as a kitten. She's bright, mischievous, and surprisingly very affectionate. I miss my little guy, but do love my little girl.

My big boy Marley the 90 pound goofy happy male Greyound got a trophy tonight that wasn't his usual bunny or squirrel. Was after dark and the deer didn't see the chain link fence. He and six of his comrades were in the yard and this offended Marley no end. All the others jumped the fence. This young male tried going through it. Tore his antlers off, broke his neck, at least one leg and a hip. Still moving a bit below the shoulders and making that noise they do when they're hurt. Had to dispatch him with a quick hammer blow to the head to let him rest. Poor guy. He even tore his antlers off somewhere in the fence too.
Fence is fixed (enough for tonight to keep the dogs in). Someone I know who will use the meat has come got the carcass. Now the dogs can't figure out where their trophy went.

This is Gadget. He walked up to us from out of the woods as a kitten one summer day back in '99. Just walked right up to us and adopted us. He was an outdoor cat completely until 2013 when we retired to the lake.
When I had the motorcycle accident in August 2010 and lost my wife, he came in the house and spent every single night with me for the next four months until I went back to work, and then he went right back outside again. In all those years of being an outdoor cat, he spent only a handful of nights in the house, and only then because there was 8" of snow on the ground. That was beyond amazing to me and as you would expect created an inseparable bond between us.
When we retired, he gladly became an indoor cat and made the adjustment far easier to it than I ever would have expected, although he still enjoys warm sunshiny days.
This is the view from our deck back in June of 2014. Gadget is still doing well although he's slowing down now, as he will be 18 this spring. As you can imagine, he's my best buddy.
-
And this is Prissie, and believe me, she is exactly that. Spoiled rotten but completely under my skin.
She will be 13 this coming fall, and still gets around like she's less than half that age. I guess lake living is having a good effect on our pets, just as it has done for us.
-
And these are our other, more transient, "pets". They're really more like welfare recipients in some ways, though. They come at various times of the morning and evening looking for handouts, which we happily give them.
This was taken from our den window, which is around 10' off the ground. We've seen as many as 14 out there at one time, along with turkeys, fox, and other assorted wildlife. There have been reports of bobcat, black bear, and the rare cougar (4-legged variety) out this way, but the worst predator we've seen close to the house has been coyotes and bald eagles.
It's a good place to live.

So sorry. Another friend here lost one of their Grey's two weeks ago. Dog was not quite ten.
Both of mine will hit at 11 years old this spring. About three weeks apart. Both still healthy and surprisingly active. No signs of anything yet with either. You just know at that age something can sneak up on you anytime.
Again so sorry to read about Keera. They are great dogs.

Earlier today we had to lay to rest our cat Chyna. We rescued her 9 years ago and from from about a week after we brought her home she was my little buddy.

If I knew how to post a pic I would but just wanted to share. :-\ she will be missed.

One of the worries for adopting Greyhounds is if they'll be cat or other small pet tolerant. The prey drive is strong with some of them. My male is a huge (by Greyhound standards) 95 pound big boy. The cat is really worried.
-
I don't think the cat is worried. Big guy looks like a gentle giant. Love the color.

Right there Rooster. The cat is 16 and is really the only alpha animal in the house. She's called Lincoln. Full name is Lincoln Garfield McKinley. Named after assassinated presidents for whom the fact of their assassination didn't raise their historical standing.
The other cat is named Dog.
The big boy in the picture is Marley. Really is a happy gentle boy. He's got a Greyhound buddy here named Juno. They're both 11 with birthdays about 5 weeks apart. They retired off different race tracks so didn't know each other until they met with me. Quickly settled in together to be really good buddies.

Introducing Buster "the home wrecker"! He's a 6yo male Golden Retriever and smarter than a lot of folks. ;-)
I call him that as he sheds year round and its a lot of work to keep up after for a pet that lives indoors.
He loves the swimming pool though.
-
Introducing Justice "The Imposer" he's a Doberman Pinscher and only 9 month's old in this photo.
I call him "The Imposer" for all the obvious reasons if you've ever owned a Dobe you'd understand. You could say he likes to get his way. ;-)
This is the 6th doberman we've owned over the years and he's the total package looks, brains and brawn. Unbelievably strong and determined for a puppy and very protective of the house and family.
He has a soft spot/fetish for golf cart rides and if a golf cart moves in the neighborhood without him on it better hope he's indoors otherwise you'll soon have an unexpected passenger. Fences are great but he can jump like a kangaroo especially at the site of a golf cart that sets him off.
He's into advanced obedience currently and we have plans to do a lot more with him as he matures.

Yeah and the look on folks faces that didn't know him yet or see him coming is priceless!
He doesn't bark or anything he's in blazing fast stealth mode seeking a free ride to anywhere.
I tell them keep going you can have him...lol. He jumps off at about 200 yards away before he looses site of home and comes racing back.

Pete, do English dogs pee on the left side of trees?

Pete, do English dogs pee on the left side of trees?
:D :D acsuly Don I think it sort of depending on the direction there're facing,
If there're facing North it's the West side of the tree, South it's the East side , West the South side and East the North side of the tree.
It could be some kind of navigation system they have for others to follow ;D :nixweiss:

Well I guess I can post in this column now I do believe it's official now.
Here's his little story on how he came to be an official CVO Pet
It all started about 31/2 years ago when this stray fluffy black miniature looking bear of a cat showed up in the rear yard and didn't leave for a couple of days. Feeling sorry for the thing I put some food out for it this pic was taken in around mid 2015.
I started to try and pet it but it wasn't having any of that as time went on he/it would approach me and give my hand a head butt then other times he would lash out, I got a few snarls and whacks that made my hand spring a leak. Then he would come back and head butt me again.
2015 first encounter
-
2017
Out in the rain
-
Then we got little Sally
-
Sally and Davidson hit it off
-
Then blackie started interacting coming closer letting use pet him more frequently
This is may of this year 2019, interacting
-
June 2019 he wondered into the house
-
Now here he is no more sleeping rough outside. He has done a 360 and has become a lovely sometimes a little over affection demanding pets.
He still eats outside won't eat inside he lets us know when he wants to go outside he gets along with Sally and Davidson all in all he's being a nice addition to the household.
It took some time but l won him over and I do believe he's a much happier cat. The story of Blackie

Nice story longlast. Kathy use to work downtown and would walk for lunch, she found a kitten on the side of the road and took him in. She took him in to a animal shelter and a week later he was ours. Have had him for four years now and all he wants is affection, he will not leave our side. It's cool when a stray becomes a great friend :)

It's little Sally's Birthday it's been a year now. This is the day her new life began in our home after we rescued her from the Dog Trust Centre and she came home.
She has become a bundle of joy. It took awhile for her to come out of her frighten shell. We suspect she was in a cruel environment but she's a happy little girl now.
Happy Birthday Sally

Sorry to hear of your loss..

Had to put my boy to sleep yesterday at 12 1/2. He had a stroke and lost the use of his rear legs. Vet says he may be in pain----that was the decision maker. Cried like a baby. These stupid animals bring so much joy to our lives, but the sorrow of death is so heartbreaking. Best duck dog I've ever had. Rest in peace Toby.

Sorry for your loss. It's tougher when they are also your hunting buddy.

Sorry. So much. I grieve more over good dogs than most (ok, all) people. Toby was a good lookin' dog.

Hate to hear the bad news, losing a family member and trusted companion out in the field is never easy.

We lost our last wiener dog last week and had to put her to sleep just shy of 15 years young. She was my buddy and Vickie and I do and will miss her. She's playing with her sister now (we lost Aubrie in 2014) in whatever the good Lord uses as pet heaven.
This was a funny picture of her when we were trying out storm calming attire. Needless to say, the look on her graying face shows just how much she liked it.
Rest in peace, Runtz.

Haird, so sorry to hear of your loss too. It brings back my memories of recently. It's tough indeed. Still expect him to be there each time I open the fridge. Hopefully, time will help for both of us.

Howard, sorry for your loss. Sure hurts when you loose them.
Here's Powder, our yellow lab in her Happy Place.

shouldn't of clicked on this makes me tear up just thinking about losing my best friend. Though he is just 10 years and I hope I have five or six more with him or vice versa the thought of us not waking up in the morning with out one another un almost unbearable.

My two hoodlums. Lexi: Standard Poodle and Mazi: Giant Schnauzer. On security watch.

These two died about a year apart. Each, just short of 14 years. The Gordon Setter, Trixie, was maybe the smartest animal I’ve seen. But, with that, came complete independence. She had the concept of hiding! Call her and sometimes she’d walk into a bush or something and become motionless. Laughed every time!!
Bear was named by the breeder. When he was born he was pure white!! Hence, the name! All around GREAT DOG! Would work a field and “answer” hand signals. HATED being apart from me!!
Miss those two VERY OFTEN!!!

John, I admire your cat's dish. ;D
I have a few rescues that's part of the family, they're not the most disciplined but neither am I.
Here is a pic of my wife's first dog she can call her own. I'm attached to her also as she is my DD in the river after 5er6 beers. Her name is Katy.

Here is my dog I rescued 9 or 10 years ago from a local boat landing that someone dumped out. His name is Scuby and he’s special to say the least. He doesn’t leave the property, vet has to do a house call.

This is Scuby the day I rescued him.

I had to put Powder, my yellow Lab down early November, her pancreas failed. We had her 12 years, fantastic dog. My boat has never moved with out her on it. We were going to reserve another female puppy from the same breeder late this year.
Well, last week Monday a Female pup wandered up on a Friends Job site in AR. They tried all week to find the owner, went door to door, put signs up. No luck. So he brought her home hopping to find her a home, he has two lab pups and another dog. So I decided to bring her home for three days to see if it would work out with my wife's minpin.
We decided Monday evening to keep her. She has a couple bad habits I'm working to correct, and she is learning. Pretty much know now, she was driven to the job site by some one and pushed out of the vehicle. She doesn't like to get in the truck, then rides very well. You then have to drag her to get her out. That was first five rides I took her on. Yesterday I was able to coax her out with out dragging her.
-
I never understood why but know it's the case that a lot of people are wary of black dogs. I think they're gorgeous. Good looking pup.

Thanks. Second Black dog I have had as an adult, last was a Black Male Dane, 195 pounds. Had a black lab as a child.
She is a sweet pup.

Thanks. It was pretty hard to say no, once I saw her.
I just do not understand how someone can abandon a dog.

Rescue is great fro both sides :drink:

Haven't posted much here in a while but as for most 2020 was a disappointing year for many. It started in February for us as we had to say goodbye to our one special fur baby, 14 1/2 year old Bongo. They truly are mans Best Friend. Miss him everyday!!!!🐾💔🐾
-
Man, it's hard to lose a good friend. I was looking back at Toby and Dave I see a picture of Powder on the previous page (226) on your boat in the spring 2020, just before you lost her. Who would have known. We just spent the weekend dog-sitting my hunting buddies 6 mo old yellow lab. I forgot what a puppy is like. Lots of laughs and yells. Gotta love 'um though.

What's the device you use to carry the pup? Is it made for the purpose?

Powder was a great Friend (dog), I miss her every day My boat has never moved with out her on it, so this spring will feel strange.
Pepper the new pup is doing pretty well. Lots of work, which puppies are. For the most part she is pretty good, and is taking to much of her training pretty well. Hoping she likes boating as much as Powder did.

My boy Dexter, is getting larger. He's 9 months old now, and 40 pounds. Hopefully he doesn't get much larger.

Holly....our little 10 year old dog...seemed to have aged 5 years in the last month......then the last few days very 'lazy' ...took her to the vet today.....kidneys shut down 'levels off the chart...can't even measure. The vet gave her a pain killer that'll last about 24 hours just before we picked her up a few minutes ago. She's going to spend until tomorrow with us....then tomorrow at 11:30....we will be with her when she goes.
My wife called me on x-mas eve just over 10 years ago and said she was holding the cutest puppy....I reiterated my position...."we don't need a f'n dog"....I said don't bring her home! She did! Was an awkward x-mas....I did block off the kitchen with some plywood so the little rodent wouldn't piss on the carpet. I was working 14/14 nights out of town. After my first shift 'post puppy acquisition'...I was on the couch having a nap from about noon to 3, when the kid would get home and wake me up. When she got home and slammed the door.....the little pup had somehow scaled the 12" barrier......got in the living room.....clawed her way onto the sofa via a blanket I assume......and was on my chest staring at me.....well...damn it....if I didn't start to like her.
From then on.....she was a great pup! She even rode occasionally...had the T-bags dog luggage....like it best when my wife was also with us on her bike...she liked to keep her in sight. Loved to 'fight'.....she caught a tooth in my nostril...and brought tears to my eyes.
Gonna have her cremated and my Daughter is going to make a suitable urn and get it fired at the University where she just finished a pottery class. Now who's gonna be happy to see me every time I come through the door?
Damn....was hoping this was a few years away yet!
The big rawhide bone kept her busy in the garage....and she couldn't haul it up and over the 4" step into the house.
-
Just noticed that just 9 days ago I was inquiring about a different way to have Holly ride with me.
Holly was a good name for her.....she responded when called "Harley"!
She didn't play fetch...it somehow got called 'go get it' from when she was just a pup and would bring the ball back and let it go as she was still running....and go for it again and again......until she got tuckered out......and would just drop and sleep regardless of where in the game we were at that critical moment.
-
Dayne, sorry you're losing a good friend. The memories will keep coming back for a long time. Let them come--along with the tears. Just wish these family members would be around awhile longer for all of us. Fred

Sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it is to loose a member of the family. Its also a difficult decision to make.

Yeah, it’s heartbreaking to lose a family dog. Best wishes, remember the good times!

Ever hear Maggie's song from Chris Stapleton? The first time I listen to it was 5:30 am and I was out walking my dog by songs end I was in tears looking at my dog who was just turning 11. Still with me....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE5t-VNpPd0

Maybe I'll listen to it another day......it's too hard getting through an hour or two yet.
-
When we lost our beloved Maggie last summer, I swore that was the last dog in our house(my Son has 3 and lives 1/2mi away & they visit all times). We were comming home from SC several months ago and decided to take a stroll thru the Mecklenburg Animal Shelter. How could you say no to this...........................meet "Harley"
My advice Dayne.......don't listen to it if you have had a few, ruined my keyboard

Well.....a couple months ago we decided to get another pup(were supposed to get him on Dec 15)....were on the list and picked a one.....he did not pass his last vet check-up...he had a bad heart murmur and the vet said he'd probably not have a very long life. Sure glad we found out before we met him!
Then we were first on the list to pick from the next litter......and picked 'Pepsi'......to be delivered from Calgary to Victoria by plane on Feb 2......1/2 hour late, but, no other issues. We renamed him Ryder....'cause he's gonna ride, just like Holly. And ....when he gets a little rambunctious I can say to him "Easy, Ryder!". Right now he's a 3 1/2 # terrorizer. Batting 1000 for pooping on the pee pad....and about 750 for peeing....not too bad for 9 weeks old!
Supposed to be warm later this week......gonna get him with me on the bike idling in the open garage.
-
Rescue is great fro both sides :drink:
We have looked locally.....and even further away......Nothing small enough to ride the bike / travel as carry-on AND hypo-alergenic . We might not have rescued....but.....can guarantee that this dog will not be abused or abandoned!!! We're pretty sure he won the lottery!
And....I get cheques that I don't want from a rogue relative.....I spit them between the local SPCA and local Big Brothers.....when she gets the returned cheques and sees who cashed them, it makes a bit of a statement!!
