Our 4 legged friends

Gotta have a pet thread, Buster, 7 monthes, 70lbs and still growing

Wow, that's the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

Unfortunately, Rory, this was supposed to be a thread for dogs, not our wives.

I felt left out when Blue posted his orange bride

[Blue]

Hey I cropped the photo in my photobucket acct. and it automatically cropped in RC. You puter nerds prolly already new that would happen but I learned something new.

[ModernStyle]

I have a black lab, Buddy
And a collie/sheperd mix that has pretty much had both of his ears chewed off fighting strays, his name is Joe.
I would post pics, but you know what a black lab looks like already, and Jos is kinda sensative about the whole ear thing, I have been calling him Pork Rind Ear, so he doesnt like his picture took

[Bodger]

My two Korean Jindo dogs.
Hana on the left, meanest little Asian princess biatch on the planet. Another ten seconds pointing the camera at her and she would have lunged. That little smile is a ruse.

Gunner on the right, the doofus boy, not a pure bred Jindo, but a fearless hunter. He once chased a deer over a barbed wire fence up in Kern County.

Both rescued from the LA County shelter system.

[Mike(VA)]

Mean? I don't think so. Looks like they're waiting for scraps. If there's any left over, of course. Lean times you know.

Rory, that thing looks more like a ferret than a dog.

Blue and orange. How cute.

Blue and orange. How cute.

For some reason, they think the camera coming out means they are going to get a treat. But the female has a short fuse for that and will try to lunge at it after about 15 seconds. I have to focus fast and get the pic or be ready to deflect the "attack".

Gunner is just a doofus. Eat, crap, chase, and hump. That's his basic list for living.
Kinda like some contractors we know.

[TulsaRemodeler]

Certainly I dont get mistaken for a warm fuzzy person very often. But friday nite on the way to get more beer I stopped to look at pit puppies someone was selling in the parking lot. 5 pathetic looking ones in a laundry basket. A little runt female kept giving me the eye. Theyre all covered in fleas, the little runt with bite marks all over, no way was she gonna make it. Gave $40 for her, took her home and got the fleas off, fed her good. Today I put her on cragslist and sold her an hour later to an 8 year old girl and her mother for $40. :)

[Handyman Service]

Here is my best helper. She goes everywhere with me and absolutely loves to fetch anything. We stopped at an alfalfa field before we got to this job, chest first into a big old bush.

I would not know what to do if she wasn't hanging out with me.

Thats a good looking tri-color bitch. We have a tri-color English Shepard working dog named Ol' Shep. He has saved my Dad from being run over by heffers more than once when he was down and hurt. That dog can take a beating and always comes back for more.

[Handyman Service]

Yeah Jesse, this is an awesome dog. She can really get hold when she needs to.

Off topic, were you by any chance the "Baby New Year" in your city? Just noticed the ol' b-day.

3/4 Border Collie, 1/4 Chow -- Kilby
Black & Tan Coon -- Bigfoot
Blue Tick Coon -- Lil' Bitch
Husky mix -- Mollie
2 Guinneas (not named) that used to be four until Bigfoot ate two of them
2 cats that I hate that are not mine that hang out on our back porch b/c my wife won't quit feeding them.
2 Parakeets I don't care about either
37,000 acres of fish that I try to catch almost every night when I get home.

(Guess which one the wife name)

[TulsaRemodeler]

Took Buster to the pet store today and weighed him, 77lbs, just passed his 7 month birthday. Oh yeah, gonnna have a male pit over 100lbs. He's been babied and fed like a king. Loves that work truck.

[buildpinnacle]

I tried to warn the wifey about that. They seem to be bait more than anything else.

[OGStilts]

OK I had to contribute to this thread.

Here's a Christmas photo of my dog Jake and baby girl wearing matching PJs (that is my wife's doing). Jake is about 7 months old in this photo and my baby is 4 months here. Jake was a cute lab puppy then, now he is a 100 lb machine....but remains best friends with my baby girl.

They're pretty low key for the most part--but are very protective. Very very good with kids.

Danes are called "gentle giants". They'd rather be inside... laying around on the couch... the bed...

As for guard duty... just the sight of them, and the sound of their bark, is usually enough to keep the riff-raff (and most door to door salesmen) away.

It's quite funny when the little guy comes to deliver Chinese food, and he's greeted by two big heads at eye level. :grin:

One guy jumped so far back he ended up on the sidewalk. :laugh3:

Me too. Trying not to think about it too hard right now, or else I cant focus on anything else.

Going to take the family to the toledo zoo tomarrow to get my mind off things.

[TulsaRemodeler]

Yup, female bulldog.

Dont think so, yours has pit in it looks like. Mine I saw both parents, both pit but he had the only short face out of the bunch and wont quit growing, 10lbs a month, every month.

[WarnerConstInc.]

She's an American Bulldog.
NKC registered.

[TulsaRemodeler]

She's an American Bulldog.
NKC registered.
Beautiful dog. Mines not registered, neither Bulldogs nor Pits grow like mine is growing, Darwin at work I guess. No way he wont hit 120lbs+

[WarnerConstInc.]

She's 3 and weighs 115lbs.

She is like a propane tank with legs.

She did not start filling out and getting wide untill she was 1 1/2.

She is also in a bit of trouble right now and her outcome is not decided yet. (I am making the decision on what happens).

Her mother was huge. 130 lbs. Really tall and wide. Lola is not nearly as tall.

[ModernStyle]

I just dropped $250 today on my dog for an ear infection........ funny how the vet quoted me $100 over the phone, and they call contractors shady ......

[WarnerConstInc.]

I love my dog. I grew up on a farm, if it didnt provide you with food or income, it didnt go to the vet. The livestock vet would give the dogs rabies shots, but thats it.

I've shot many an animal and burried it the woods. Out of experience, dig the hole first. Too hard to do after the fact.

If you fed the barn cats they wouldn't eat the mice.

[TulsaRemodeler]

My kids made me have a funeral for the hamster that did nothing but bite them, I can not imagine the hell my life would be if I ever had their dog put down.

Talk about love:

[Carport King]

I have 2 dogs but you need to promise not to laugh or bust my chops! After looking at all your pictures of all those big dogs.

I have an 7 lb chihuahua named "Peppy Pedro Pistol Pete" Petie for short. He is 8 years old.

Then my dog is Peanut and she is a "Hybrid" and she is 3 years old. Peanut is 12 lbs.

They both are spoiled rotten!

[RCP]

Carport King, those sound like snacks!
Here are my two

[WarnerConstInc.]

Awww, I love doggies!!

[RCP]

Somebody asked me if I let them sleep in our bed, I said no, we sleep in their bed!:)

This is Bailey. She's friendly, unless you touch her bottle.

I put my girl to sleep.

I guess it was better than watching them crap themselves because it hurt too much to get up.

Here's a couple of old photos of one of our Minpins, had to give them away (to family luckily) and haven't had any dogs since.

Don't have any pics of them separate. Where you found one you would find the other.

Squirrel is actually good eating if you can balance the seasonings in the gravy just right.

Cute pups ya'll got there! (can't say it's cute but that is a damned interesting lizard you got there, Leo!)

A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS..........

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me

3. Place your trust in me.. It is crucial for my well-being.

4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.

5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.

6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.

7.. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.

8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.

9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.

10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so..

~Take a moment today to thank God for your pets... Enjoy and take good care of them.

Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God's critters.

~Now please pass this on to other pet owners. We do not have to wait for Heaven, to be surrounded by hope, love, and joyfulness. It is here on earth and has four legs!

[ChrWright]

Good stuff Chad.

[OGStilts]

One of my client's just put down their dog last week. I grew close to him in only a couple of months... they had him for 12 years so I can only imagine how they are feeling right now... so #10 kind of hit me hard right now.

[ChrWright]

One of the hardest things I've ever had to do was put down our first great dane. I held her in my arms as she slipped away and it tore my heart out.

[neolitic]

A couple of weeks ago a client took her
12 year-old standard poodle to be put down.
I've known him since he was 8 months old,
and he was a great helper.
I helped her get him in the car.

We were both crying....

[Bodger]

One of my friends just lost her Border Collie named Dizzy to cancer. He was 15 years old.

She waited a month or so and called the breeder where she had originally gotten Dizzy. In the course of that conversation, she learned that a female litter-mate of Dizzy's passed away on the exact same day as Dizzy.

[neolitic]

I wish I had the energy to get
a border collie pup....

[Bodger]

Dizzy was a stone pain in the ass, and his puppyhood lasted about 12 years.
He was a barker too, when I worked on my friend's house, he would just sit it in the yard and bark at us all day. If you threw anything at him for it he would chew it up and go right on barking.

Barking like that is unusual for a Border Collie, they are known for working sheep with 'the stare.'

We have an Australian Cattle dog. They tend to be very vocal. The thing about the herding dogs is that they were bred to work hard all day, and to be smart and good at problem solving.

If you don't give them a job to do, they go stir crazy.

Kind of like you seem to be, without work to go to.

A good Bodger is a tired Bodger.

He'll work his ass off all day.
If he hasn't got a job, he'll make
trouble his job, and he has lots of

Thinking about picking up a boxer pup :) Not sure yet though. Think it would be cool to have around. I like bulldogs also. I saw a H U G E!! American bulldog tonight at a buddies house.. was awesome!

[naptownCr]

We have two Jack Russells and an Australian Shepard.
They have three distinctive personalities
One jack is the alpha dog She is also the smallest and rules over the other dogs.
the big Jack is just a big wussie and only wants to lick and be petted nonstop 24/7
The Aussie however is the sweetheart dog. She is a box of rocks actually and chews the bejesus out of anything and everything if she feels slighted or ignored. Funny thing is she is not the most affectionate dog. doesn't seem to care for petting and general affection. She is really funny though when it is time to go out and she is hearding the jacks around.

I hope you rescue one from a shelter as opposed to buying from a breeder. Seems like the purebred pups always find a home, not always the case with the distressed doggies.

I got both of my Jindos from the shelter, they're the best damn dogs anybody could ever ask for. My boy Gunner has proven that he'd put himself between me and trouble without even thinking.

Unfortunately what he thought was trouble one time was actually a Hassidic Rabbi all dressed up on his way to temple one Friday night. I think it was the big chocolate cake hat that did it. :grin:
