Who's got dogs? Post your pup!

I was on a business trip for a week and my wife kept sending me pics of our dog

 

I might have jumped the gun a bit on this post..
We've only had Milo about 2 or 3 weeks.

Our dogs are indoor dogs.
We spent 3 hours in the backyard today with me scalping the dead grass for the season.
That is mow a row, bag dead grass, mow another row, bag dead grass, etc.
They played well today.
As I mowed Milo would get bored antagonizing Maverick and they would just chill together.
They seem to have bonded today, becoming more like brothers than Milo being a dick.
Milo is getting his balls removed on Thursday, which will probably calm him down as well.

Momma and her best friend went to a concert tonight.
So it's just me and the pups.
The first night Milo has had without the wife here..
But I'm fixing to make them a small steak and me a ribeye..

They are playing much better as time goes on..

A few pics of the dog from our recent trip:

 

Yeah you gotta let dogs be dogs man. They all have their own personality. Sugar and Honey play rough, they are litter mates, sisters. Sugar has about 5 lbs on Honey and she has more the Great Pyrenees in her. Honey is more the goofball Lab type, they are back and forth on dominance between the two but if Honey is backed up in a corner or against the fence Sugar seems to get a bit more aggressive exerting her dominance. Honey shows respect and cowers down a bit, Sugar backs off back to neutral ground and Honey comes charging right back in for more abuse.

Here's a shot of them, I was a little late on feeding time and they were reminding me where their bowls are.

 

Sometimes it's just nice to curl up with a good book.

 

Well we’ve added another little friend to the family. And I mean little lol. She’s 2 years old and she’s a miniature Australian shepherd lol.

 

Little meeting of the minds while we were away haha.

 

Nice! We have 2 mini's.

 

Man! Those are good looken pups!!! My wife said that’s what she wants lol.

 

Looks like you interrupted the plan to raid the treats.

 

OK, you guys were right, just let them be dogs..
Maverick is starting to stand his ground and not let the puppy walk all over him.

It's been just the wife, me, and Maverick for a couple of years after the passing of Moxie and Maximo.



I guess it just took Mavs a little time to relearn how to be a dog again.
Thank y'all for the help..

Bear doing his job, watching the chickens and keeping them together. Good boy. Yesterday was the first day we let the chickens free roam out in the pasture to see how it went. Now the fun part is trying to find the eggs….

 

It looks like the new rescue dog Milo is pretty happy with his new home and family.
Wife took this video this evening..

I never thought I would be waiting for summer..............

 

Penton is growing up

 

Crazy springer dinger

 

Yesterday morning my neighbors dog was attacked by something and drug down near this pond which sits between our house on 15 acres. She was a smaller dog and she had puncture wounds on her neck and side. She didn't make it.
My neighbor thinks coyote which are here but I am leaning towards a bobcat since the neck wounds.
A mountain lion would have carried it away.
What do you guys think it could have been? I am in the foothills of the Sierras

 

This. Is. The. Best. Thread.

Mini-schnauz. Her name is Akira. Yes like the anime.

 

That sucks to hear. Cat (big or small) kills are usually on the neck. But canine can do so as well. Puncture size and spacing would be more accurate way to assess by vet. Very sorry for your neighbor's loss.

 

things like this are why my dog isn't allowed in the backyard after dark. We got maddddd coyotes.

 

Paw-ty time!

 

he's ready for the pool

 

This is Barkley... when I brought him home and just a few days ago.
My wife and I have been fortunate enough to have had several dogs over the years.
But this little guy turned out to be really special to both of us. He travels with us. Sleeps with us... he is always by our side.
A couple of weeks ago he was extremely sick, and we ended up at Ohio State University emergency vet services with him.
Long story shortened, we found out he has stage 5 lymphoma. He is currently home taking a high dose of prednisone.
You wouldn't know anything was wrong with him now. He is eating, playing and basically being a good dog.
The prednisone makes him drink a ton of water, so he needs to go outside about ever 2-3 hours. That makes for some tough nights... but he is worth it.

We have also started treating him with Fenbendazole. Apparently, it has been used to stop cancer from growing and sometimes eliminating it all together. We are very hopeful that it will add some time to his life with us... we are hoping it adds a lot! The little guy is only 7 years old...

 

Good to hear it’s working out. I know from experience that some dogs just won’t tell another to back off. I think its our responsibility to recognize when a dog isn’t enjoying the play and step in to give them space.

Been noticing on the new rescue pup he seems to have marks on his nose like he wore one of those snout leashes for extended periods.






Mav is taking less crap off of Milo more every day..
