Show us your dog!

[Alpo]

Tippy explaining to Red (everyone had a spotted dog named Snoopy. I had Red Baron) who boss dog is. See Mama's shoe? That lets you know how big they were. Tippy was four, Red was, maybe, two months.



Two years later. See how big Red got? Tippy was STILL boss dog.

The boy's:

On the porch is Sam. After his diet he now 130 pounds of non-registered full blood Lab. He came to us via the Walmart parking lot.
On the step is Bones. When he was found under the bridge near the house he was about 20 pounds of skin and bones. About 5 of those pounds were fleas and mange mites. A few trips to the vet followed by many months of recovery and he is now a healthy 35 pounds of playful energy.

Some of our dogs, I never got pictures of: Abby our geriatric GSP (rescue), Muffin the psycho Maltese (rescue), Maggie our first GSP (pre-computer days).

Here's Buddy: Our schnoodle (schnauzer-poodle). Heart of a lion, Falstaff in every detail. Abandoned in our yard, lived to be 22 or 23=5 years after being given 2 months to live.



Here's Shiloh and Hagrid. Schiloh is a whippet-terrier and our "pirate dog"=all he can say is "arrrgggghhh. Hagrid is our big male GSP. Fits his name: Big, slow, gentle and dark.



Individual pictures of the two:





And, lastly, Posha our GSP puppy. Off to training this summer. Posha, Shiloh and Hagrid are rescue dogs.

Lucy, our 1 year old pit bull/ german shepard mix. Her whole litter got parvo. She was the only survivor. Probably won't get any bigger. Very healthy now though.

Here's Gunter, my 8 year old Great Pyrenees rescue.
Watching me wash the car:

Relaxing just inside the sliding glass door.

We had a G.P. (Bear). He was a passionate watch dog but a kind soul. He was definitely my dog and lived be with me. That dog would shed a poodle every day. The white hair balls raised h*ll with our deep red carpeting and vacuum cleaners!

Your picture sparked some very fond memories of our amazing Bear.

Gunter is a magnificent looking boy!

Tobias. (Australian Shephard) Can only post 1 at a time

Gorgeous dog. It is hard to beat a blue merle Aussie for looks. (Or smarts.)

This is our 3-1/2 y.o. Great Dane, "Boo" on HER portion of our den sectional this morning (not to be confused with her portion of the couches, chairs, our bed, etc.....).

She gets up painfully early for "her business" and breakfast, then back to her morning nap!

After all, it's a dog' life!

I gotta ask, how much does it cost to feed her?

This is Rocky. My 1 yr old Rat terror...i mean terrier . The last pic is of him getting yelled at by me after i came home and saw what he did to that chair! How can i get mad at that face!?!?!?!

Here's Rita the whippet earlier this month.

We never planned on being involved with dog shows... but the kennel owner asked if we would be willing to have her shown when we got her. Not knowing anything about what it entailed, I said yes.

Fortunately, a friend of ours had shown dogs before and said that she'd love to show her.

It's been fun and a chance to get out of town and do something different on the weekends.

Gunter has no idea he's a great pyrenees. They are bred to protect sheep from bear and wolf attack. Gunter runs from grass hoppers and butterflies. He was pretty badly abused before I got him. For the first month I had him I couldn't raise my hands over my shoulders. He would cringe and run away. He is a very gentle soul but no guard dog.

Here's Eisa and Zoya.

Here's Dixie a 9 year old stray Heinz 57 that was booted out of a car at a very busy intersection here in Memphis. We have had her for 8 years now and she can out shed any dog I've ever had. Notce she's guarding a few of her possessions.

Update on Gracie's pups.

His cousin Gracie, a 6-year-old toy Aussie. This is an older shot. She will give birth to a litter sometime this week, possibly today.

We have been busy today. Gracie was having trouble with her first pup; it had a very big head, and stayed in the birth canal for over an hour before we finally pulled it for her. We had to rub her up a bit to keep her from foundering.

The second, a male, was quite a bit smaller and was having trouble getting his breath until Shelly sucked out his nostrils. This is pretty unappetizing; I would not look forward to it, but Shelly assures me I would do it to save the life of a pup. I didn't dare disagree with her, so I guess I would. For a little while we were both rubbing pups to get them moving.

The last two came pretty easily, so we have four new pups, two F and two M. I was hoping to get out on a motorcycle today, but this trumps it.

Congratulations on the new additions to your family!

Here is Max.

Max is one good looking dog!

I gotta ask, how much does it cost to feed her?

She's on a raw diet. She only eats raw beef, ribs, liver and chicken (bones and all). She gets a pound in the morning and a pound at night (some days I'm jealous of what ends up in her bowl). None of the fillers or additives found in even premium dog foods. Her B.M's are tiny I mean purse-dog sized. It totally works for her.

I would imagine it would take at least 3 pounds of dog food to give her what she gets in 2 pounds of raw. Cost-wise, probably very close to a premium kibble.

I'd re write Will Rodgers famous quote to say. "I've never met a dog I didn't like."
