Let's see the DU doggies!

I get very depressed when you go in the scary basement to do laundry!

She's scared of the basement steps, so she'll just wait at the top whining whenever I go down.

pit bulls. She's a sensible dog. ;)

She is also very conscious of the fact that pit bulls apparantly melt in the rain :crazy:

Woof, I melting, woof, woof... sensible.

Wow, mine looks and acts just like yours. :)

A terrible invention designed to destroy them. Taking her for walks when it's just drizzling, you'd think I was torturing her. Tail tucked, crying, the whole bit. The only time it is even a little bit okay is when she has her raincoat on. I know, I know, clothes on dogs, but it's the only way we can get a decent walk in when it's rainy (and, being in Pittsburgh, that's most of the year!).

;)

What a sweet looking dog you have.

She's my baby-doll and I love her to bits!

She will not step off the porch when there is the slightest rain.

We didn't realize she was a witch - we just though she didn't want to mess up her hair-do

Gotta love bully smiles! And hey, at least they have the sense to come in out of the rain!

My parents' Pookie would pee on the sidewalk in front of the house rather than step into a muddy yard.

Mud = dirt = digging!!! I'd almost prefer if she had a mud problem (my kitchen floor wouldn't mind it either)!

Oh, wait, you said DOGgies... :P

What kind are they?

They hopped through the back door at my job a few years back. :) One was skinny and the other one was chubby, and I'm a geek so I immediately thought of Sam and Frodo as names for them.

Then I found out Sam was female. Whoops.

I f I didn't have really bad luck with amphibians I'd love to get some frogs, they're so much fun!

They don't have irritants in their skin or anything so it's safe to touch them now and then if you have to (although best not to do too much. Don't wanna scare 'em too much.), they've got a pretty good lifespan for an amphibian, and they're just fun to watch. :)

Mine were interesting because they seemed to have distinct personalities. Frodo was afraid of everything. Sam was obsessed with food. Which is why she was chubbier than he was. :) I had to start keeping the crickets in another room because no matter where I'd put them, Sam would find them and try to jump through the glass or screen to get to them. Once she got to a certain size it got a lot easier to clean the tank though, because Frodo would hop on her back and hang on when he was afraid. Up until then it was about an hour-long chore to clean the tank. It took 25 minutes to catch Frodo and put him in the temporary tank, 2 seconds to pick Sam up and put her in there, 10 minutes to clean the tank, and another 25 to get Frodo back out of the temporary tank and into the regular one, and another 2 seconds to get Sam back in there. Once he started clinging on to her when he was afraid it got a helluva lot quicker. I'd just reach in and he'd grab onto her. Then I'd pick her up (with him still clinging on) and put them in the temporary tank. Clean it, put 'em right back in. Sometimes he wouldn't have even let go yet by the time I was done cleaning it.

Hi.

Very pretty!

She wants everyone she meets to think that she NEVER had a friend in her whole life until she met you.

Wheezie aka Devious and Conniving Little Weasel

And Boogie-Queen of the Doofii-she's our ADD child

:9

Have you ever seen a cat with "bedhead"?



Now you have.

:D

I love how dogs can curl into the teesy tiniest ball! And gorgeous (I'm a bit partial to brindles!)!!

I don't have any great pics of it, but you can sorta see here:

Cute dog!

:)

I want a Boston, Agatha's 2nd best bud Foo is a Boston and he's a riot!

I have two..

I also took in a pit bull that was being abused by a neighbor. He has since been rehomed, but my Bostons loved her!

Foo TOTALLY thinks he's a big dog. He loves to play with Agatha, he cries if he goes past our house and we're out but she's not! Agatha is scared of big dogs (she's pretty submissive to ALL dogs, but big ones seem to really scare her), he is rough and tumble with her AND he'll play chase with her, so she's over the moon anytime he comes to play. He's got such a fantastic personality (most BT's I've met seem to). The only issue is that Foo and Baxter (a neighbors Cairn mix, Agatha's #1 best bud) do NOT like each other, so we sometimes miss our informal playtime when we're over at Baxter's house.

What a darling dog.

:hi:

i love dog pics

I really wish I could have a few. I love Bulldogs and Pugs and Beagles. Though Shepards and Retrievers are awesome too, and they could be trained to help me with stuff.

Dogs are awesome, wonderful beasts. :loveya:

Who does service dog training and her husband has a service dog. She has an Aussie and a pit-mix right now as their service dogs, and she's training another aussie and a mutt that was a foster puppy who ended up showing a talent for it so they kept him to train him up. Her dogs are crazy cool, they help her husband put on/take off his socks, get up to a sitting position from laying down, all kinds of amazing stuff, things I didn't know they could be trained to do! Dogs really are awesome!

Agatha has mostly black nails, so nail polish doesn't show up very well on her (she gets her nails done regularly).

The kids like to draw a big circle around Maui's eye so she looks like Petey from the Little Rascals. They also draw dollar signs on her and whatever other craziness they can think of. She sheds so much that it doesn't last long, so her embarrassment is short lived.:blush:

Now I have to go buy white nail poish in addition to the thosand other colors Dropkid has. Poor Agatha let's Dropkid do all sorts of undignified things to her, but she's dark so at least the drawing on part is avoided!

:-)

And, as a bonus, my parents' nosy boxer, Harley.

Miss Molly looks sweet, and Tristan makes my heart melt (used to have goldens!). And Harley has a very smooshable face!

levitating! Now THAT'S floating in dreamland!

He wouldn't move for nothing. Was laying in the middle of the parking lot, and this family pulled up in front of him, got out of their car and started saying "we didn't hit him, honest!" Well about that time the owner walks up and says "aw, don't worry, he's been dead for a couple days, we just ain't had the heart to bury him". My stomach still hurts from laughing so hard.

My spiffy uptown nephew Tucker:





My gal Lucinda:



My weimies, Rada and Dusty, and our kitten Roscoe:

I love puppies! How old is your older Weimie, looks like the full adult coat hasn't come in yet! Such a pretty crew (Tucker is more handsome than pretty)!

My weimies are ten months (Dusty, who we adopted about two weeks ago) and three months (Rada).

Lucinda the schnauzer is almost six years old.

Tucker's probably about four now.

And Roscoe, the kitten, is about three months old, too.

Thank you for the compliment! I'll pass on your kind words about Tucker to his daddy.

And your boy is a cutie, too! Cute photo!

What a precious doggy you have!

Our first dogs were Schnauzers. They were so cute and smart! I had a salt and pepper male and a silver female. She was the sweetest dog I ever had.

Gorgeous group of canine buddies!

We love the breed...sometimes human-like in their intelligence.

:hi:

Right now we are going through separation anxiety with him because of shift changes. Seriously thinking of getting him another pup to help him with being lonely.

PLZ!

I love Archie! What an adorable dog!

to get him up to his current weight. I found him on a busy highway and brought him home. He is very picky about dog food, prefers table food. I know bad for him, but at least he is now eating and picking up weight after almost 8 months with me. Being dumped off I can understand his bouts of anxiety.

If he's alone a lot, he might like it! Or a cat pal.

My schnauzer loves our cats. They play together like children...she'd rather play with the cats than the weimies.

Bless you for rescuing him and giving him a great home. No arguments from me about tablescraps...my vet even said this...when you have dog that won't eat and needs to put on weight, let him eat whatever he will.

One is really not very puppy friendly and the other gets along with Archie and occasionally plays with him. I really think he just needs a playmate of his own species.

Hope he adjusts soon for you!

Now I work evenings and sleep later during the day. This has been going on for 3 months now. It doesn't seem to be getting any better at all. He has taken to urinating on furniture..not a good thing. Leave puppy pads down for him but it does no good. Personally I think he is doing it out of anger at being left alone.

He is probably more insecure about being alone, than "angry", especially since he was abandoned.

Bringing in another dog could lead to more marking in the house, especially if he isn't neutered.

I wouldn't give him free run of the house if he is marking. Can you confine him while you are away? And when he does use a puppy pad, praise him like it's the most wonderful thing in the world! You can eventually get him to just pee on a puppy pad by the door or in a certain corner.

He is very, very cute! Good luck!

When I vacation once a year a friend keeps him for me that has another dog there. They say no problem at all, he follows the other dog outside and does his business. He loves to be around other dogs that is why I thought maybe another pup would keep him company. This pup, along with the cats in this household are spoiled rotten. My kids are grown so they have become my children.

i love love love fat head dogs. <3

I took Sylvie down to the lake this morning for the express purpose of photographing it, and her:

Both the pupper and the lake!

My recently departed (6/19/08) Luna. I just got home from picking up her ashes :cry:


The terror that is Egypt :rofl:


The newest addition Zeus who will be coming home at the end of August :D

Egypt and Zeus look like they'll keep you on your toes!

Andy's and Misty's urns are side by side on my bureau.

Lordy, the other two are cute!

They are so happy we adopted them last August. shiba inu mixes, they're brothers from the same litter born in the streets, rescued at 2 months old.

Pede gets skeered of men and just about anything but they are lucky dogs and love us in the best way they can cuz they're great pooches!

:loveya:

we love our puppies, we love everybody's puppies!

They don't seem related at all, but their faces are very similar once you look for a minute!

So great that you adopted them.

She always wants to play fetch. In fact, will never stop.

Pretty girl!

And there's that Sheltie smile! What a happy girl!

Drew fetches. Misty would a time or two. Andy would look at you like, "You want the ball back over here? Well, you should have thought of that before you threw it."

Have you visited the Sheltie Nation Web site? There's a new picture every day.

Their short time with us makes us love them that much more!

This is Dharma. He's my new permanent resident.



This is Tini. Also a permanent residence of casa flvegan.

Tini looks very comfy, couch and a pillow! You're awesome for rescuing!

She belongs to my sister, DUer, LisaM. She's from Michigan's Upper Peninsula so she's a Green Bay fan even though she lives in Seattle now:

So cute!

Summer Tubbin':

They're really beautiful!

Here are Simon and Elmo, a.k.a. the Beard Brigade! :D

They look so serious!

Well, Elmo is pretty serious, but Simon is a total goober. :D

What kind are they ?

Elmo was listed as a "terrier mix" - we think maybe Wheaten mix? But that's a total guess. Simon is supposedly a schnauzer/dachshund mix - but he has the longest legs ever! :rofl:

my beagles do-we and Max









My daughters bulldog

And I love bulldogs in all their snorty, slingery glory.

I hope I remember how to post a picture.

Looks like a fun place to explore!

his first Wisconsin winter!

Great Pyr right?

He had snow in his eyes.

He always looked sadly out at me from the window as I was shoveling, so I got a leash thing that tied him to the tree so he could be outside with me. That day, he wasn't enjoying it quite as much!

:bounce:

I have a picture of hedges "riding" him. :D

Send me a copy, eh?

:D

Elwood and Jake




Odile

My girl friends family bred them when I was growing up....
her brothers room would become the nursery, they dismantled the bed and he slept on the couch!!!

Lots of work but great dogs....

Such handsome dogs, id the grooming as tough as I think?

Which is why we leave it to Mark. Who loves us (for the money we spend) but also says "oh no" when it's time for them to come in. My guys are much taller than standard and it's hard to work on them even though they are very good and never object to anything he does to them (ear cleaning, nail clipping, trimming hair between pads, anal sac expression).

Odile is smaller, standard size, easier to groom but is a pain in the butt. She doesn't like people messing with her feet, ears, face or rear end.

I grew up with Goldens, and even after a thorough brush-out, it would take less than 2 days for golden tumble weeds to start blowing through the house again! I can do *anything* to Agatha except clip her nails (she hates clippers), she will only tolerate me dremeling her nails one foot a day.

I bought this sweater for him and it was soooo big. I just cut the bottom out so he didn't pee on his little self because it was chenille and so cozy. His name was DUKE

They're just perfect! Kudos to you giving him a great home for his golden years!

Are they a male and a female?

We have a male Corgi named Sprocket.

We are thinking of buying another puppy, but
I think we need a girl this time.

The breeder we got the male from indicated that
the males sometimes have a hard time co-habiting.

Not sure about two males together, either. A friend has 3 corgis, but she has two females. (All are neutered of course.)

Sprocket is a really cute name! Do you have a picture? Aren't corgis just the perfect breed?

:hug:

Puppy



Stud Outstanding in his Field...


We love him so much we want another one!

There is nothing on this planet cuter than a corgi puppy! So adorable... Thanks for posting the pictures. :hug:

My brother has a 6 month old named Loki, but he's the exception to the "Corgi's are smart" rule. A friend of mine does agility and obedience with his, she's awesome.

It's amazing what they can do.

Six months is still a very young puppy. He has a lot to learn yet! :hug:

I love dogs!

Shunning:

That dolo. Doesn't she know that dog will need extreme therapy when he grows up?!

:eyes:

that boy, I swear....

On the left is my dog, Beau. Next to him is my mother-in-law's dog, Teebo.

Stuffys last all of 20 swconds here, but Agatha has so much fun gutting them I can't resist. Your pictures are very sharp, what kind of camera do you use?

:spank:

...so here's a night-shot of little Sparky "wiggling," as we call it--writhing on her back to scratch it or to pick up its scent, or something.

Agatha makes all kinds of groany grunty sounds when she does that.

:hi:

RL

Henry with his self-appointed best friend Leo

That were inseperable. Shadow (cat) would sleep on top of Amos, the warmest spot in the house!

yr all making me very sad. all i want in the world is a dog. :(
but at least i get to babysit a dog sometimes. he's half pit, half mastiff. he's a beast and the best!

I missed having a dog terribly, but it was oh so worth the wait!

Very cute girl!

Did you see my Lucy above? They could be sisters.

LOVE your schnauzer.

:loveya:

Does she have cottony hair like Bella? Looks like it.

We adopted her from a family that was going to take her to the dog pound because she "bit" a toddler. She's never bitten anyone in her life, but probably scratched the kid when she was trying to snuggle. Those assholes kept her in the basement all the time and when we got her, she didn't even know how to play.

Very glossy coat.

I'm so glad that you have Bella. No dog deserves to live in isolation. :hug:

:rofl:

Bean will hide under a blanket with you though.

Agatha love cuddling under blankets, I always have to put one in her crate, she whines if there's not one in there!

Patsy, Gus, and Peanut

Ours hates vaccuums.

they are so beautiful, and hella smart!

We get ours from breeder friends when they have one that just doesn't quite have the work ethic or is injured. We had already taken in a different malinois who suffered a spinal embolism. She passed at 13. This is one of her many half sister and brothers. They all come from a grand champion sire named Freddy who lives outside of San Antonio. I think Freddy is retired from showing now. He is just a stud. Tough life. :)

but am still an ole-time fan of the Big Dawg. :hi:

Those are really old. I haven't had a digital camera for quite some time. I need to get a new one.

I'm terrible, I have more pictures of my dog than my kid :blush:

Ginger, my yellow dog Democrat


Julie, the ham for the camera


Come on dad, we're sleeping!!!!

We had dress up in fun hats day...


She helps me in the kitchen


This isn't how we normally feed her, but whenever we fill up her food container, she runs up and has a free for all!

Agatha would be in her glory, she has NEVER turned down anything that is even remotely edible!

we rescued her from some guy in Kentucky who kept her on a rope, possibly beat her (based on how she reacts toward quick arm motions), and definitely did not feed her enough. Now, she eats almost everything, although is not too fond of celery, and I don't let her have things which are bad for her.

It's pretty cute though - when I drop something edible on the floor, if she doesn't hear it herself (a rarity), I say "clean up in aisle two!" and she comes running. lol.

I am SO going to have to teach Agatha that one!

This entire thread rocks.




I don't have any pics online of my little 40lb 11 month old mutt Sophie - but here's the one offa petfinders when she was 8 weeks old:

Petey, 13 years old, our old crippled cattle dog. Frisbee hasn't been kind to him.



Crystal, 8 years old, she loves water. We've even participated in a Splash Dogs competition. Finished dead last but had fun.



Asta, 13 years old, the matriarch of the pack



Tillie, 5 years old, another cattle dog. Loves to play and loves her people, but is pretty suspicious of strangers.

We have a two year old weimeraner mix as well, but no pics of him online yet.
