Life a big yawn? Take a tip from my dog and let it all out.
So, come on in and show us your pets. Or, just use your best bud as a pillow and relax for awhile.

CUTE!!!
this is speciesism at its ugliest!!!:)
cute doggy btw.
We’re just trying to counterbalance the rampant Friday Cat Blogging.
Sniff (foreground) and Giddy (background) find some cool, wet rock.
Meanwhile Hopeful eschews relaxing to practice his noble-dog pose.
I love dogs also, just don’t own one. This is my sister’s dog Toffee:
And that other slobbering hairy beast is me…
Here’s my girl:
And this is Zanzibar’s mother, Lucille–when she is finished having puppies, I hope to give her a home as well!! It’s hard to see her, but this is so typical of her–using her paws to try to get attention.
Particularly the Standard. God your baby is gorgeous. One person can only have so many dogs and give them the attention they deserve. I need another lifetime or two to enjoy all the breeds that I love. One lifetime just doesn’t cut it.
Thanks!!! Your Thaddeus is very handsome–friends of mine had a shepherd/lab mix, Heidi, who I was madly in love with! They moved away for years and then came back–she still remembered me and went wild when she saw me! She spent my visit at my feet with her head on my foot!
Poodles herd also–especially my other poodle Tiffany! Tiff is at the bridge……herding my Dad around! I would love to have a houseful of dogs–of all the breeds I love too! But you are right–it isn’t fair to them–they deserve so much attention.
first Standard Poodle I ever knew. My grandmother used to be a caretaker for a very wealthy couple in the Broadmoor (the place where George found sobriety). These people were almost never home and the house really couldn’t be left so many times when I visited I would end up staying there to be with my grandparents. Very strange in the homes of the super rich. She had a library of signed first editions that hadn’t even been cracked, but she had them…nothing had personality accept the dog. His name was Marcus and I was so in love with him and when I visited he followed me everywhere. When I opened my eyes in the morning he was right there staring back and he was so regal. One morning while we were eating breakfast I told my grandfather that Marcus was a perfect name for that dog and my grandfather just Cracked Up! He said, “Yeah, Neiman got hit by a car.”
I mean except the dog………..accept excepting the acceptance of things.
“Say what!”
A lovely 5 1/2 yr. Flat Coated Retriever, best dog I’ve ever had!
Peace
She’s beautiful!!! Look at those eyes! She must be an old soul.
He has a very dominant working shepherd personality and sometimes tries to herd the humans around the house. My daughter refers him as Thad-a-moose, sometimes lovingly and sometimes not.
Tracy, my children got me a shepard for my BD about 12 years or so ago. She dies two years ago this past Nov. I had her bred once and kept one of the litter. The little one is aobut 9 years now and she is my best friend. She learned from her mother well. NO one will get close to me even my children when she is around. She is my guardian here on earth. I wanted the GS breed so that when I traveled I could have one at my side for protection as opposed to carrying a gun. Unfortunately the mother shepard got severly car sick and I did not want to sedate her. The baby is too hyperactive to go riding in a car. When I am in the yard, she is always by my side even when I am mowing the grass on the rider. She is my pride and joy. She has only once did the deep grwol at some one who she thought was threatening to me. I knew right then not to have her near strangers without leashed. She is not threatening to my children or grand children by the way, she is always looking out for them too if I am there with them. It is so good to have her around. I miss my mother shepard so much. She was always my friend and faithful guardian. Like I said I think she taught her daughter to be likewise…..:o)
when my husband has to leave for different tours of duty. A gun would do me no good…..I don’t even want to really know how to shoot one and my father told me to never even consider it because that would just make me more dangerous to my self. Before we left Colorado Springs we didn’t live in exactly the best neighborhood, but I never had any problems with break-ins or anything. I think if someone cased my house it probably came up as risky. A lot of houses were being broken into though there. I have to vacuum daily or every other day but it really is a small price to pay for the kind of safety and peace of mind they have given me. Hugs to your girl!
Tracy, by being in the military, I learned how to shoot and did very well, if I do say so myself. I choose not to carry a gun for children are around me and I choose not to have to get one piece on another in a hurry. NOw we have an open carry law if you have a permit. I just think to carry a gun is not how I want to live anymore. and besides, I just might kill someone…instead of wound them. not something I want on my conscious.
I have another girlfriend who was in the military also and is expecting her third child soon, she is very much a liberal too but I wouldn’t mess with her in a dark alley for anything. Nope, no thanks…I’ll pass. Think she got high scores in marksmanship too.
smart too. I knew a shepherd when i lived in upstate NY who would cruise all over town, but always stick to the side walks. I wish my chow mix had that kind of street smarts, then i wouldn’t have to keep him tethered so much.
yes they really are. I have to just change my tone of voice and they know the meaning. well, the one I have left knows. but when I had the two they both knew who I was talking to and what I was meaning with the tone of my voice. I seriously doubt they understood my language…:o)
They really respond well to command and without much trouble. I have offically not trained my shepard to be very command intellegent, but I think it comes naturally. She is really funny too to watch with her reasoning methods.
He’s a good Democrat, so of course he’s drooling over the possibility of multiple scandals eventually bringing down the entire Bush administration:
(Okay, he was really drooling over some peanut butter <grin>).
Such a sweetheart!! Of course Eli is a Democrat–nice, sweet, caring dogs always are!!! My Zanzibar is most certainly a Democrat and a “flaming” Liberal (as one of my two-faced “Chrisitian ” students called me)…but i digress… Eli is a doll!!!
I so love this diary and others like it. I sit and drool myself of that which give us such great love and unconditional at that. All my pets are just that way too. If it werent for the pets, somedays I would simply lie down and cry. Guess it is my empty nest syndrome.,,,,bs Arent we all so luck and fortunate to have them by our sides in life?
I love getting to smile from the top of a thread to the bottom. Thanks, keres and all.
Since we’re renting for the forseeable future, we don’t have many choices about giving our Two Totos a good window seat.
So I picked up a cheap used couch and rigged a shelf across the top of it. It’s just enough wider than the couch top to permit attaching thin wood planks to reach the floor behind the couch, and there are wood braces at each end resting on the arms. Staple some padding on top and cover with the ubiquitous doggie blankets, and The Boys have their station to supervise the neighborhood.
There’s enough length for both on top, but they often take turns standing watch.
My best friend and loyal companion, Andy.
