Let's See Some Dogs !

Urban Cowdog - Azul

Truly one of the great joys in life.... taking your kids to the ranch to pick up a puppy to bring home and show mom. Seven years later and he still goes with us everywhere, checks on the kids at night and sticks to me like Velcro wherever I go. Wouldn't change a thing ….

Fantastic! You can't put a price on this photograph! What a beautiful dog!

Our Akita named Fuji, who's scared of her own shadow!! And another with her and one of our male cats Tina.

Zoe, she's a 12 year old Norwich Terrier. Still spunky even at her age.

Very cool dog pictures that are putting a huge smile on my face. Thanks. I like em all.

It isn't a dog, it's an Ewok:...

This is my best friend after being "dogless" for forty years.I had a couple of great Britts before and hurt so that I couldn't make the emotional risk. After all these years I wanted a dog and couldn't have asked for a better one. He spends all his time following me. And when I sit watching TV he uses my feet as a pillow.
On his first quail hunt he pointed and retrieved at 9 months, and also on Woodcock. Took to duck hunting a couple months later.The next year recovered a deer his first time out. I can't walk in the woods so good now so I am reduced to hunting from a house and he stays with me waiting anxiously.We killed 5 deer this last season. He really gets upset if I miss.
I may be selfish with such a dog because I just turned 85 and can't get around like I used to, but he brought real pleasure and meaning to my life.God blessed me again.

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

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. My final dog recently died peacefully in his sleep at seventeen, in the home of a friend where he had gone to live when my health problems and frequent hospitalizations were making him afraid and miserable.

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

Mother-in-law just told me this dog would sleep outside her parents room until her father left for work, then would wait at the foot of the bed, until her mom got up.

Once, as her father was leaving for work at the power company, it blocked him and made it clear he should not leave. He stayed home.

Yes, you have been blessed again. I hope you don't mind...I put your photograph of Sammy Small right side up for you.

One more with Fuji she was still much a pup. And my Jack Russell named Marley. He put up a heck of a fight with Lyme disease for over 2 years before it finally got him. Most hard headed, best D@9N dog I've ever had. He came with me to the marriage years ago, loved to drive the wife nuts. ( wasn't a far trip) she still tears up to this day about that D@9n dog. Riding four wheelers, canoeing, swimming, chasing tennis balls, or for a good laugh he was there for 15 years through thick and then. I'm gonna go wipe my eyes now!!

 

[Club Gun Fan]

Toby
He's my 11th German Shepherd. The last 5 were rescues. My big guy Buddy watching my garden. He's gone. I miss him everyday.

 

[Mule Packer]

I got my first border collie when I was eleven years old. That was 59 years ago. Our last one, Patsy, died almost three years ago. She went with me on every pack trip with the pack string since she was six months old.

Picture of Patsy in the mule corral.

After she died at age fourteen, I was pretty sure I wouldn't get another dog. My kids kept telling me, "Dad, give it time. You'll get another border collie." Didn't believe 'em.

Then came Suzy. Here's Suzy at six weeks. After I looked into those eyes, I was hooked!

Suzy at eight weeks.

Suzy at two years along with me at last fall's elk camp.

Thanks she was supposed to be the wife and kids dog, however she has become my dog somehow? She won't let me leave to go to the camp by myself anymore. She counting down to turkey/morel hunting season in April.

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

 

[Watchdog]

Puppies!

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

 

[Watchdog]

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.

"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.
