Who's got dogs? Post your pup!

Troublemakers

 

Mia's looking happy and healthy after her fall

 

She’s doing pretty well. Still has a little bit of a limp every once in a while but can get up on her hind legs and jump up wherever she wants. I just have to remind our kid to chill out around her sometimes haha

 

My 'Lil Pup is not staying little...

Pix being taken at one of our old stomping grounds ; local greenhouse that always likes to take my

He is still traveling like a champ and has been great with all of the other dogs we have "visited" along this Adventure

 

Travel day yesterday, stopped at an alpine lake along the way, had fun

 

OK,

My poor Pup is kinda pissed off at me...

We are staying outside of DC for the weekend visiting our daughter & grabbing the grandbabies' for the rest of summer and are on the 6th floor..

Riva' has never been on an elevator and let me tell you, if looks could kill ...bringing the bags up with the cart plus the two of us he was

flattened right against the floor...And now tonight as we went out for our evening

walk , going down was uneventful BUT I had to carry the Lil guy onto the elevator

to come back upstairs ...

But once out on our floor and on command I asked him to find Con & he went directly to our room door..

Lifes lessons.... and dam he travels well .... we had a Shitty day with NYC and Jersey being parking lots and an 8 hour drive turned into 11-1/2

with just 2 stops....All uneventful

 

I never posted about it in this thread because I didn't want to be a downer or fish for sympathy, but I had to put Stella down at the end of May. I'm still wrecked about it on a regular basis. 13 years and then a very sudden departure. Less than ideal, but it was what was best for her.

Anyway, I stumbled across this and it hit hard, for obvious reasons. Again, not wanting sympathy or to bring anyone down. We are all dog people hear so I know you all understand, but I wanted to share this to remind everyone to make sure you give your pup your all. They will always give you theirs!

I know you don’t want sympathy, but I will give some empathy instead……people who don’t own dogs just don’t realize…..I am sorry for your loss. We had to put beans (12 years old) down in may as well. We finally picked up his ashes last week - I just couldn’t bring myself to go get them because it felt way too final at that point. The emotion of it all still sticks with us and we cry regularly about missing him. But mostly because he was a dog filled with such personality and there is a hole in our house. His brother seems to be pretty lethargic lately but is coming around. The kids are gutted and my wife lost her best friend. BUT we will do it all over again when we have had proper time to process because dogs are that amazing. Mourn Stella and remember the good times. But when the time is right get another dog and spoil the shit out of them to honor her.

 

I'll definitely do it again. Dogs are worth it all.

 

Buster is a couch hog !

 

Big ole dumb dumbs.

 

Someone is glad to be home..

3400 + miles in 17 days was quite an adventure but he exceeded my expectations...

 

How do you tell em apart?

 

They're brothers a year apart but TOTALLY different personalities. We picked up Bodie(left) for my mom after she lost her last lab. Buxton(right) is ours.

 

Keep them boys away from my girls!

 

No worries,

Poor 'Lil Shit is getting "Ball Chopped" next Monday; part of the contract you sign when you rescue them

good thing is, they are also taking a troublesome left rear crooked claw off on their "Dime"... he got caught up with that F@#$%ing thing 4-5 times

on our trip... let out a howl to make your hair stand up, even on @T-Rex266

 

A spin on the post your pups;

Post your pup hair
We vacuum once a week, one week with the cordless, and the next week with the corded (move furniture and stuff).
With the corded vac I'll have at least 3 of these, full.



He gets brushed outside almost every other day.
I asked Maverick about it and he said: "It wasn't me"..

 

Half a Husky ... Repeat ...

 

I don't run my Roomba every day because my leaves her crap all over the floors and it gets partially sucked in. I'm not home all day to rescue the Roomba from stuff it tried to grab that was too big (i.e. a shoe string gets sucked in but the shoe is too big).

 

Sorry,

No DOG hair shedding ..

Luckily he is part Weimaraner , the "Rug Rat's" made more of a mess on the seat cover with food then the Pup shedding

 

Another hard day at the office.

 

The struggle is real. Hang in there, pupper!

 

Puppy not so much anymore

Riva' stretching out on his bean bag ; 9 months and still getting closer to that 50-55 lbs number

 

Just picked for a new Deputy to run and play with the bad guys in Houston

still has a bit of training but is going to be a good asset

 

One word. -FOCUSED-

(Ps- I wish my pupper was that fit.)
