Someone tried sneaking a pig ear out of the Tractor Supply today.....

The brown dog (Pit Aussie) belongs to my daughter & the tan dog (mongrel), my son. They are about the same age & play together (& with me) frequently. Looks like a left jab being delivered.

I have come across, and borrowed a bunch of dog photos and sayings, dedicated to service dogs in the military and law enforcement. These dogs are very special to me as I was involved in a Canine team before retirement. I will post a few pictures each day until I run out. In remembrance of service dogs, their handlers, both present and past. Hope everyone enjoys.. View attachment 90393

Seeing that picture reminds me of the other day, Max loves to go for rides and he gets very excited. Well, he bolted from the gate and before we could get the door open, he decided he would just take the window. Well, that would of been all well and good, if the window had been opened. He smacked the window and down he went. He jumped back up and looked at us wondering what had just happened. Open the the door and he jumped right in.

Mine is with me right now right now standing guard while I have a cigar and sip on the back porch watching it rain (almost 2” today in Ne Ohio). Little fella is inside. He is growing like a weed.

This was FMIT (fur missile in training) a few years back.

That’s a great picture. Agility can be a lot of fun. Can be good exercise for the handler too.

A tired dog is a good dog!

You are right about that…I’ve always believed a sleeping puppy is a well behaved puppy. (This little fella loves sleeping on his back more often then not)

I had a German Shepard that was a flunk out of the DEA. Great guard dog, just never turn your back on him, because he would put you down. The first time he did it to me, I was stumped because he wouldn't let me up. Then I rolled over on my back, looked him straight in the eye, and said "good dog, sit". He sat and I was able to get up and hooked the chain to his collar and back away. I tried him a year later after having to feed this all this time, and he still would put me down if I turned my back on him. Unfortunately, his hips gave out and I couldn't let him suffer. His name was Odie.

Was warm, so pellet stove/ “Dragon” was shut off.

We’re using “Junior Dragon” for a few days. Simple milk house heater as I knew them. Modern safety features in this one.

Geddy just came in from outside and obviously figured it was supposed to be running.

Seems to be saying “I’m bigger than you now, punk….”

Shortly thereafter, Jr. Dragon was on its side…

Queenie was owned by a neighboring, abusive and usually drunk rancher, who abused and only fed her intermittently.

One day while I was doing the traditional throwing scraps off our back porch to the wildlife…I saw her hiding under some nearby bushes….and realized she was getting her meals from our scraps thrown out for deer, etc.
She was thin, ribs showing, and would shy-away if noticed… I blew kisses to her and sweet-talked her to crawl up toward me and threw some scraps directly to her… My wife fed her some dog food we’d had since a few months earlier when we had to put our elderly Black Lab Roulette down.

Queenie appeared to be untrained and wild and for the next 17 months she lived under a large rosemary bush outside our house. Her “owner” would drunkenly call and accuse me of stealing her dog. I told Beverly that it was HER DOG… that we didn’t have her tied up or fenced in…and she could come and go as she liked… but we didn’t mind here being around here as long as she liked.

Then one night, the temperature was predicted to drop to 17-degrees and I told Jamie “We can NOT make that dog stay outside in this!”…. and I went outside and called to her and I pointed to our fireplace thru the open door…
Queenie made a Bee-line to the fireplace, curled up in front of it and remained there ALL NIGHT.

That was 7 years ago...and Queenie is a Changed-Dog! She is playful, loves strangers (no longer shy), and her favorite thing to do is chase along when I cruise the ranch or play ”Keep-Away” with a tennis ball.

The neighbor died last year and the state declared that ranch to be a “heritage site” and a watershed for the lake…never to be developed…. and Queenie is living the Good Life …and We Love Her.
She no longer sleeps under a rosemary bush… She has taken-over a rug in my daughters’ former bedroom… Now Queenie’s Room.

In this pic she is waiting for me to get in the RTV and check on the ponds below the house, where she will take a swim.

Well done, GeoHorn!
Beautiful girl.
Reminds me of my special boy, now long gone.

 

[GeoHorn]

Thanks Guys! Turns out…Queenie is a free-spirit …but who IMMEDIEATELY calms down and “heels“ if a leash is put on her collar. She is an expert at getting and keeping the tennis ball and if you pretend not to care about it….she will sneak up behind you with it in her mouth and actually touch you with it as a temptation to play!

Seven years now and she has NEVER made an accident in the house… comes and bumps me with her nose to be let outside…and goes off into the woods where she takes care of her needs.. The Yard has no “mines” in it…Ever!

We had her microchipped and she’s all up to date with her innoculations… She is a mysteriously Quiet Dog… Only very rarely barks… usually at the UPS driver who she loves… or at the door when she wants to come inside. I do have a video somewhere in my phone tho’ where she tuned-up and joined the chorus with the coyotes one night.

When my daughter need us to adopt her elderly cat…Queenie would back-off and allow the cat to eat from her bowl until the cat was finished…even tho the cat had already been fed…and Queenie had not had a meal yet… She also lays on our back porch and watches the deer and cottontails as if they are her friends.… A real sweetheart.

Here’s a short video of her sharing with the new-comer:

good on you!

May I suggest that you get either a glass or stainless steel bowl for your dog? The reasoning is that the plastic holds bacteria in the scratches and the bacteria can have a bad effect on your dog and cat. The glass and stainless steel can go in the dishwasher and be sanitized, unlike the plastic bowls.

My wife decided she was going to put up Christmas lights. At midnight she finished and Max was finished too. He stayed outside with her the whole time, right next to her. She came in and he ran right to our bed and jumped in. He was exhausted.

Low 40’s today, so the real Dragon is running…..he can see his reflection in the window…

At 375 pounds, he can’t push that Dragon over….
