Dog pics

That dog has seen it enough to know that the cup in front of him means food is nearby or on the way. He's thinking how to claim his portion of the goods or if not that, a sympathy dog bone or whatever. Great pic.

Thanks, sixdogs! (You don't really have six dogs, do you?)

Actually, that cup is my coffee cup, and Jasper knows well enough to keep away from it. His food cop is a plastic one, and he does get excited if he sees it.

He is actually making claim to that rocker, which is a favorite of both me and my wife, so we do have a bit of a battle going each time someone wants to use it! First come, first served is our rule, but of course the dog doesn't know that. His rule is, if it is vacant, it's mine!

Here's one thought for him that might apply to the picture. "OK so if you're finished your coffee, let's go already - I have to pee!"

The one dog we have the can amuse herself for hours on end LOL <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=519222"/>

Yep. It's amazing how they can entertain themselves so easily. Our Jasper likes to take a big plastic ball on our 50 foot wide deck and run back-and-forth growling like he's murdering it. He sounds so fierce, yet he is a complete Lamb.

Ok, Ok, I know...



Still one of the better crotch warmers out there though

Know what you mean. When we had a cow that was breach, I was the one that had to
turn it if I could or if the calf was already dead, had to cut it up and bring it out a piece
at a time. City folk have NO IDEA what being a farmer really entails! :thumbdown: It hurt
me nearly as bad and the cow to have to do that. I'd work until I was totally exhausted to
try turn a calf and bring it out alive. Covered in blood, afterbirth, feces, urine and sweat,
it'd break my heart to fail. :ashamed:
Last one I worked on, the cow was waist deep in our pond and it was in March. That
water was cold and she would not move or could not move. After I got the calf out in
pieces, she broke lose from dad and swam out into the deep end and sank from
exhaustion; drowned. That was a good $1000 dollar loss counting the value of the
calf and cow not to discount the pain in loss of life for both. Dad lost heart for the cattle business
after that and we slowly sold off our stock. We'd get a steer every year, along with a couple
hogs to butcher. We kept the chickens, rabbits and horses but used our hay and corn as a
cash crop instead of a feed crop for the most part.

Man what a story, I would feel the same way with such a loss, that would be really hard to witness.

I have only had steers for beef but I can sympathize with that kind of loss.

Thanks, sixdogs! (You don't really have six dogs, do you?)

...

After a rolling average of six for the last 35 years we're down to three at the moment but stay tuned.

Looks like she uses a good whitening toothpaste too!

2nd day of school, first time for the black one, training her to not go out to the road while waiting for the bus.

Was it on this thread I remember someone saying dogs are better in packs?

My dog chews on things time to time and gets in the trash, I have the opportunity to pick up another male Shepard for $250 that's 10 months old but has only had one round of shots and no heart worm meds and has been a outside dog the last few months. So he needs a vet and some work.

I would hope by having 2 dogs they would entertain themselves more and behave better, what do you all think?




My dog is 4 and is still as hyper as a puppy, he freakin loves to play all the dang time, he knows all the commands and minds very well, he's deff a Velcro dog.



The money part wouldn't bother me as long as it benefits Max.

They can take some time to get acclimated and some of it can be challenging. They eventually figure it out and then all is good.

Is that dog on your lap a welsh corgi or a hybrid? My brother had a great dog like that had a shepard face and very short legs.

Yep. That is about how it goes. Some take longer than others but it is a very rewarding process for both you and the dog. All of my dogs have been death row dogs yet all of my dogs have turned out to be great dogs after some work.

You are so right. The best dogs I ever had were rescues that turned out to be purebred bird dogs. A little effort and they fit like a glove around here. Very polite, no bad habits now and they do what they're told.

She is a Welsh Corgi. My wife's 3rd Corgi.

Cardigan or Pembroke?
We had two over the years and found them to be loyal dogs and great defenders, they were bred as cattle dogs and have a natural instinct to round up animals.
We now have two german shepherds, two tibetan spaniels and a chinese crested who is my best mate, we both have about the same amount of hair.

 

[Alien]

Nice to see someone else has a Chinese Crested. A lot of folks have never heard of them. Even our vet had never seen one till we got her fixed the other day.
She is now 7 months old and we got her as a friend for our pug who lost his 2 best mates in the last 12 months. They sure are an affectionate little dog.

I wish our beagle was better in a pack. We want another dog, a walker hound. But this turd hides and mopes around like she's depressed if another dog comes over. She has taken a lot better to our 1 1/2 yo than she did to the 4 yo.

 

[bunyip]

yours is a powder puff, we used to breed them until dad got killed, we now have one of the pups who is now four years old and is a hairless.
you need a powder puff and hairless to breed.
ours can be bad tempered but he probably got that from me.
you realise they are a very old breed that had its roots with the aztecs, good eating they said.
