Let's See Some Dogs !

Good Friends

Beau recently spent some time with my good friend Dave and his son Colin. Everyone loves Beau, and he always returns the feeling.

What's not to love, with a face like that?

Dogs are so funny when they lay on their back. I can't imagine people not smiling when they look at this photograph.

Wetheads!

We've had some heavy rain here the past couple of days. Just another excuse for Annie and Beau to get into trouble and make a mess of themselves.

I actually always give them the chance to come in out of the rain (plus it takes a lot of towels to dry them off!), but they just look at me like, "Why would we want to come in?"

Rottweilers are natural clowns, and I never tire of watching them.

Pat & Beau

I'd love to see a larger version of this! Pat and Beau look happy and content.

Very low resolution, I tried t blow it up a bit but it just pixelated (?) too much.

 

[Watchdog]

Uh-oh...

Beau is just a second or two away from finding out that it's sometimes best to let sleeping dogs lie.

Oh, well. Thanks for trying, anyway.

This is a shot I took of Gracie, a stray dog, when I did some volunteer work for the Arizona Humane Society. She was a beautiful, gentle dog, and it was all I could do to keep from taking her home with me. Hopefully, this portrait I took encouraged someone to adopt her...

Wonderful portrait, John. I share your hope that she was adopted. She looks like a real sweetheart.

Our Scarlett ( Shellie) took one ride in the Corvette. Normally she likes to ride in the car, but not the Vette. Might have something to do with the 400+ HP engine and the aftermarket exhaust. Her first ride was likely her last ride as far as the Corvette goes. ��

The Daily Dance

When they were much younger...well, frankly, when all of us were much younger...Beau and Annie would perform this ritual on an almost daily basis.

It was all part of the canine way of establishing dominance; to settle the issue of who would be the Top Dog.

I would watch them, making sure it never got out of hand. And it never did. No one ever got hurt, no one ever got bitten, other than just a little nip now and then. I could actually hear their teeth clicking together at times. Fact is, male dogs of any breed will seldom deliberately hurt a female dog. And Beau outweighs Annie by at least fifty pounds now.

It's fascinating behavior to observe, especially with big dogs. It was funny to watch Annie chase Beau all around the yard, nipping at his flanks...and he would never stop and stand up to her. I'm not sure how they resolved the issue, but since that year, there's never been any question that Annie is, and always will be, Top Dog.

Onebadvet , that's just not right ! You need a dog that's a little more ferocious looking in a vette . Watchdog , at least yours settled it like that . My 3 , all females , take turns trying to hump each other to see who's the alpha dog .

How often do you let him drive?
