btw: I grew up with wiener dogs!

Wiener dogs are cute. My childhood neighbor had one. Very dignified couple.

wonderful little guys. We really miss him.

I was born in Germany and my dog was 3 years old when I was born. He lived to be 19 and had traveled from Germany to France and Pakistan before we settled in the US. He knew command in 4 languages. He died when I was 16 and when he did, for a while, I felt like my world fell apart.

What a long life he had! I am glad you have wonderful memories of him.
Ours showed up on our doorstep five years ago and we were never able to find his owners though we used every avenue available to do so. He made himself right at home. The vet estimated his age at two when we took him in to be checked for a chip. He was a dapple like the one in the photo. Full of personality.

beautiful loving personality. He wandering the streets and we took him in. He's been great and is now about 14 years old.

All our dogs and cats and tortoises (Sulcata) are rescues. Can't wait for all the puppy mills to be shut down.

... and our city allows us to keep three.

So many dogs. There's no reason to breed more.

One of our dogs is sweet, two are misfits. All three were born because clueless fucks were dog-selling and dog-buying.

There's no reason for it. There are plenty of dogs in this world.

Learn about dogs, good dogs and bad dogs, and bring one home that would otherwise be killed.

Our worst-dog-in-the-world ever, a young animal shelter Catahoula matured into the most intelligent dog I've ever known, someone I could trust off leash. She'd even let our pet rats and parakeets ride around on her back. She played with out pet rabbit.

Our current most-idiot dog ought to be pulling a sled in Alaska but someone here in Central California thought it would be cool to own one and kept him chained day and night for five years as a macho yard decoration before Animal Control took him. His teeth are worn from chewing on the chain.

This dog is messed up. I hope he learns some ordinary domestic dog culture. Our old lady dog is trying to teach him. He's a big Teddy Bear, except when he's not. He likes all people. I'm not sure he can tell one of us from another. But he'd eat any small animal that landed on his back and he wishes the neighborhood coyotes great harm. Two of our dogs sniff, raise an ear, go back to sleep on comfy bed when they hear or smell the coyotes. Alaska dog, no... he wants out so he can kick some coyote ass.

Applause to HSUS.

Marilyn and Roger Hall, my apologies in advance. LOL!

Suffer, you sick fucks. Happy to deliver. When you lose your home, please think of me.
