Hangin our in the front courtyard with Hopper having a beer.
He loves laying down on warm concrete after the sun has gone down.
He’s an old retired greyhound.
Basically the grumpy old man of our three dogs, but we have a pretty good mutual understanding.
When I’m up late at night working on pins, he the only one that feels me.

And now I’ve been put on Italian Greyhound puppy detail.
Kids are eating dinner, so since I’m outside already I get to take Lola out to do what she needs to do.
At this stage we keep her on a leash outside since we have coyotes, barn owls and vultures.
She’s a mini, so until she gets a little bit bigger, that’s the deal.

Quoted from BazilBLast:Who knew if they got up enough speed they could run on water
Are these the famous Australian Jezus-hounds ?
Would be some huge Vet bills lol. Not my dogs just thought I'd use them to celebrate their day they looked so happy.
Quoted from Thor-NL:Are these the famous Australian Jezus-hounds ?
Lol .
Doug almost became shark bait .
Quoted from RWH:Damn that's really shallow pretty far out, is it near the reefs?
There are no reefs . It's a bit deceiving , it's deeper right near the shore , there was a sandbank a bit further out .
Quoted from RWH:Happy Dogs day!

It's one thing to get them to sit all at once , it's another thing to get them to smile all at the same time . Do you think the cameraman was holding a sausage above his head

I f he was he's going to learn a little about sharing any moment.

Yeah its absolutely crazy how fast shes grown. Shes above 50 lbs now. I've commented on her muscles too... no idea how that works. I wish I could gain the same muscle tone just by laying around taking naps!
So after two years of searching I finally found the dog I wanted. I wanted an AKC Miniature Pinscher with distinct markings and great posture. I found him from an Amish breeder in Pennsylvania and he has exceeded my expectations. It was costly as I had to pay someone to fly him out because the temps at the airports exceeded 80 degrees at the time. Very kind and loving dog-always wants to cuddle. He also has done well with training so far and is getting along with the other animals in the household. He has become my little buddy!
Miniature Pinscher pic.jpgHere's a few of Dobby in his car seat.
You can't see it in the pics, but there's a tether in the lower rear that connects to his harness
The seat itself has a set of front straps that anchors it tightly around the forward console and a set of rear straps that anchor it tightly on each side around the driver and passenger seats.
Quoted from oldskool1969:that's a baby Kangaroo! call him Joey instead
Shhh!!! Don’t tell him!!!
He thinks he’s a Pražský Krysařík - aka, a Prague Ratter!

Pretty close .

Quoted from mtn-:Unfortunately, couldnt watch due to GDPR.
Amazon driver making delivery hears commotion in backyard. Peeks over fence to see 14yr old husky struggling to keep head above water. So he jumps in to save it. Owners were away from home at the time but animal control person lived down the street from them and knew the dog so contacted the owners after arriving to the call. The driver stayed with the dog for over an hour while waiting for the animal control to arrive. The dog being a senior, has issues with it's back legs so it would have drowned for sure if the driver wasn't there.

Glad I couldn't watch it, or my eyes had been watering.

No video. Just news article. I couldn't watch that either if there was a video
So it looks like my plans of holding off after my boxer Hank passed away last year have been circumvented by my daughter (but my wallet).
Meet Brian. And he found a safe sleeping spot.

OMG, Colson. What a beautiful pup! That last pic looks like a ceramic dog! Congrats to you, and to your daughter for climbing another rung on the dad manipulation ladder

Wish I could give this post 1000 thumbs up.
Quoted from mtn-:I'd like to smell your boxer pup, colsond3. I used to have a boxer too, his name was Junior. He had to leave in 2009, due to old age and you all know.
I still have his picture on my wall.[quoted image]
Awesome looking boxer there. Lovely markings. I’ve lost two that I rescued, so I definitely feel your pain.
He smells like a puppy. Haha. He’s only 9 weeks old, and his coat is still soft as silk. Jessica (my other older boxer) is actually jumping around and playing with him quite a bit, and she’s turning 12 this month.
I have a 9 year old boxer and a 1 year old. The old man plays like a puppy with the one year old. They love each other. Thinking about losing my old man brings tears to my eyes.
