Let's See Some Dogs !

[Golddollar]

These wonderful pictures are really making me wish I could still care for a dog. Alas, I can't: I'm no longer physically able to care for one properly.

But I can enjoy them vicariously through your pictures and stories, and through occasionally meeting other people's dogs. It sure beats a blank.

I'm in a similar boat. It used to be an uncertain schedule made it impossible to consider having a dog. Now sometimes I can barely walk myself much less walk a dog. Happily most people's dogs like me so I can still enjoy a little time with a nice dog.

Some very good dog pics and memories here. Have shown some of my old Zach.
He was my first pointer and to date my best. He went ahead to the next cover last July. I missed him all season.
The day he left, I called my trainer to ask about a started dog. Wife and I did not want to deal with a pup. No luck but he had a very rare litter on the ground. Hard, if not impossible to resist a 7 week old Britt!
Leis is our new pup. The third pic was just taken. She is 9.5 mos old and is recovering from a spay and dew claw removal. Still cannot believe the breeders missed taking hers off.

This dog was engraved in about 1919:

He is about the size of a postage stamp

Puppies!

Puppies Sunshine and Sandy are learning how much fun it is to snuggle.

At only seven weeks of age, this little boy Rottweiler hasn't quite figured out what these other critters are yet.

Don't you just love that snowy coat? I've also never understood why breeders don't remove dew claws...especially on breeds that hunt brush and other heavy cover.

Isn't it amazing, though, how fast a young dog will get used to wearing that lampshade collar? When my dog Annie was spayed, it took her less than a day to just accept it.

I forgot, his name is " Sammy Small", from an Air Force party song

"My name is Sammy Small, and I only..."

Recalled that one from my college days. My posse was a rowdy one back then!

Here's our Booger, right after she was spayed and had her dew claws removed. She was a trooper, and soon got along so well with the cone that she didn't need it and behaved herself really well.

People that don't have dogs don't know what they are missing in their lives. There has yet to be a pill that provides so much heart felt comfort or joy as a dog can provide.

Sandy was probably my favorite of the 7-8 I've had.A Samoyed/malamute mix that never wanted to be inside until she was 10 or so.A very funny,mischievous escape artist and cookie thief.Lived to be 15.That little guy on the left is 35 now [emoji50]

To all who are getting OLD.Their are many adoption agencies that have old dogs that people no longer want to be bothered with.They are old but NEED companion ship like we do. Do them the courtesy and your self a favor and adopt an old dog to give it a home for his last few years ,after his years of service to us humans .they are happy to just lay around and lick your hand

You are correct about being not able to resist a 7 week old Brittany. Here is Sammy the day I picked him up at 7 weeks.

I wish I were physically and otherwise able to do that. I really do.

I'm not.

Abby moved in when my wife's best friend passed away.

Maxine and Scooter keep watch

Maxine (the lab mix) and Scooter were a handful. We had to put them both down within 6 mos of each other recently. Hard on both of us.

Got a new rescue dog, Abby, a (poodle mix obviously) mainly for my wife who was absolutely grief stricken when Maxine passed at 15. Couldn't go for another big dog although I like them as we are getting a bit long in the tooth ourselves and taking a 70 pounder to the vet is a chore especially when she is so feeble as Maxine was in her last month.

I'll look for a Scooter replacement soon.

Your well said post deserves repeating, so I quoted the entire thing.

Senior dogs still have the gifts of fun and love to give to humans with enough foresight to adopt them.

Like humans, old dogs do not deserve to die alone, unloved, and uncared for.
