That's a really cute and fine pooch, Frank!

Yes, this word also contains the word "poo" .

In the second pic, he looks a bit like Gene Wilder, also a funny fellow in his movies.

 

Thanks Sureshot. He's pretty spicy, it's a constant battle for alpha pack position!

 

That young fellow looks like quite a character. I think he may have you trained.

 

We dog sit our son's 3-year-old Wiemaraner six months out of the year. A wonderful dog, but just like our wonderful grandchildren, exhausting. Couldn't wait for her to go back home to Missouri with my son a week ago, and now I miss her already. A 50 pound dog; 4 cups of dog food, plus 4 or so cups of water per day, somehow seems to equal 23 pounds of dog poop per day. I don't get that math . . . .

(Dog law #1 - Never surrender the ball!)

 

We are so lucky to have dogs in our lives. Mine's like my symbiote.

 

We need pictures @flangster !

I swear I'd have one or two of every breed and a bunch of Heinz 57s too if I could.

I'm nuts for dogs!!

Frank

 

So our standard poodle Bo turned 2 last Saturday. What a mostly wonderful addition he has been in our lives!

So friendly (sometimes too friendly) and so smart (sometimes too smart), but mostly just a joy and he sure has livened things up around our house!

Amazing how fast they grow!

One thing we have learned is that the "poo" in poodle is very accurate because I've seen smaller horse scat than what this old boy puts out LOL

Frank

"Standard" size, correct?

The way time fly's, I figured he was about 5 now.

I remember some other earlier pics also!

 

Yep, he's a big 'un Ross. Standard should mean ginormous 50-60 pound needy baby

I tell him "No!" and he says, "Define no, is that a maybe???"

Oh Lt., the humanity, the humanity!!

 

Sgt Infidel I know you have a favorite squirrel that you haven't whacked yet because you like his swagger.

Come on buddy, let's see Larry. No shame

Cpl Kninecrazy

 

How many days does he work at the shop? Or should I say, put his time in.

 

Every day. Monday-Friday Ross. He and my daughter's dog Ember are shop fixtures now.

...excuse the goobered up window. I swear I Zepped it not 2 hours prior!

 

You have a great dog there Frank. I think he looks a lot like his master 😉

 

Bo doesn't have a master.

 

Anubis, the ancient god of death and embalming. She is 3 years 4 months old. Doberman & Siberian Husky, about 50/50 mix. She is a VERY strong dog. Weighs 55 lbs. Not at all aggressive or vicious, plays with anyone. But plays hard.

 

Mike went to work with me everyday for 5 years until we retired in 2019

I had never really understood the saying “Lapdog” until he showed up at our house.
Now he spends his time relaxing or barking at the neighborhood cats and squirrels.

 

Our rescue. We got her as a pup last July. She now weighs 75#. As she is maturing she’s just a pleasure to have around the house. My wife and I are retired and this was a life saver for my wife. I love retirement, my wife not so much. This gives her something to keep her occupied all day. My wife named her Patches.
When we rescued her at 3 months she weighed 23 pounds.

The vet guessed her to be about 3.5 months old judging by her teeth so we called her an April fools baby. They guess her to be part Aussie Shepard, part blue healer and whatever else is in the mix.

We drove about 90 miles each way to go get her. Brought her home late Thursday night, gave her a flea and tick bath as she had lots on her, fed her and kenneled her. The very first night she slept the whole night. She was very easy to house break and has just been a fantastic dog.

Here she is a 75 pounds. I think she’s about quit growing since she’s almost 1.5 years old.

Here she is with her favorite frisbee we wrestle with daily

 

Českà is about to celebrate her one year anniversary of her arrival. She is still a puppy, but gets along great with her big adopted brother, Mack.

 

A Rat Terrier. Quite the dog, gone for a while now.

 

My Whiskey Girl will be 10 this January. She is getting white in the face but she still hits the water like a young pup. I’m convinced that I’m a better person because of her. Isn’t it amazing how much they enrich our lives? I feel sorry for those that just don’t get it. They’re missing out on so much.

 

Here are my two favorite girls, Kate and Rosie. Rosie is the brown and white one.

 

That's a picture of my last good girl, Laila. Taken from an old photograph I still have in my office.

She was an extremely smart, vigilant and fearless dog, shoulder height about 20", weighing 55 lbs. Very kind to kids and all the people she knew in the neighborhood, but quite spicy at night, especially when someone dared to ring the doorbell.

She passed away in 2009 at the age of 13 years.

 

We lost Ollie at age 14 a bit over a year ago, our son Rob said they'd probably wait a while but within a month Finn came into our lives, he's a bundle of energy and goes to work with Rob almost every day. He and the owners dog and cat keep the company going...lol. Rob's VP of DeFeet socks, tough place to work (beer bar and coffee bar for the few walk in customers and staff)

Finn visiting us...

Rob and Karen (his sweet wife)...

 

my grandfather, "I don't care to know a man that can't love a dog."

 

 

This is our little pooch, the queen of our home.

 

Benjamin Franklin wrote that the three things an old man needs to be happy are an old wife, an old dog, and ready money. I'm batting .333 :

 

Murphy. As in Murphys Law. We've had him 2 years now. When I was in the hospital this summer he stopped eating for awhile. My best friend. Sticking pretty close now. 70#. My wife said he took his watch dog duties pretty seriously. I was gone 5 weeks. He was pretty surprised I returned. I was too.

Christmas is very interesting to him.

 

The little dog occupies an entire couch.

 

If my dog does not like you I don't like you either

 

Our girls the two Golden retrievers. If you can’t tell they are quite fond of each other, and us. They are a year apart in age and completely different lines. The crazy dog with her head out the window was my old dog Hailey, she loved riding in the truck and HAD to have that window down no matter what temp it was outside. Winter was interesting, and cold.
