National Dog Day

[Mark SW]

Woof Woof (Hello) 

Today is National Dog Day. A day to celebrate are friends, coworkers, and constant companions, Sometimes I think my Aussie is smarter than I am (he really is) so today take you best friend for a walk in the park or even better in the woods. We are going to PetSmart first because they are having buy one get one on some things then maybe to Wag and Wash for special treats after that who knows.

Remember also are fellow Villagers in the southern part of the US and there loved pets as well. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

This is our German Shepherd Java. We adopted him from a shelter in 2014 after we had just lost two dogs 6 weeks apart. He's way smarter than us, and knows he has us wrapped completely around his paw. He's our first German Shepherd but definitely won't be our last.

Prayers up for those owners and their pets affected by Harvey.

Very nice looking German Shepherd

This is our current dog.  We have always had one or two dogs, Several Dobermans and several Airedale Terriers along the way.  Abbey is a Standard Poodle.  Very intelligent, but can be stubborn.  Always fun.  She is not a fluff dog, she thinks she is a farm dog.  Unfortunately, she is very sick right now, and the vet suspects it is a rare illness similar to lockjaw.  We are hoping and praying for the best. 

This is a picture taken of her when she came in from playing in the snow last winter.  She loves the snow. Not so much the heat.

Thanks for the info, Mark,

That photo is really, really nice! Nice enough for a photo contest.

It could be a beautiful painting.

God Bless! Spirithorse

I hope your Abbey gets well soon.

Here's my dog with what is left of an "indestructable" ball. His name is Tyson.

Prayers up for your Abbey, Scrappile

Prayers for your Abbey Paul. We lost our female ( Angel ) a little over a year ago. Still have Chance. Angel has the black back. 

 

[Scrappile]

Thanks to you guys for your prayers.  It means a lot. 

Wayne, those are Corgis?  Always wanted one.  Neat dogs.  Sorry you lost Angel. 

 

[wombatie]

Great photos of your fur babies guys.  Hope all turns out well for Abby, Wayne.

Mark, we don't allow our dogs to be in the woods, there's just to many deer ticks. There's been a few people who have had to put their dogs down, they didn't clean all of the ticks off and the dog got sick.

Yes they are both Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Had dogs all my life and these two are about the best. Chance was actually a rescue from a puppy mill in Missouri so he came with no social skills or anything else. Took a while and a lot of patience and help from Angel but he is now a full fledged couch potato too :).

Beautiful dogs all. Sorry for those who have lost one of their beloved pets. It's hard I know. Here's our Cali girl. She will be 5 in Sept. She is a golden retriever. Her first 3 years, couldn't get her in the water. Now, she always want to swim. She already has back problems so the swimming is good for her, plus helps cool her off.

Paul, prayers for your Abbey.

Here are my two guard dogs.

[Scrappile]

I like the way they are guarding that chair.  Those are referred to as ankle bitters,,  cute for sure.

[WayneMahler]

I think most of us agree. They are not dogs but members of our families. I know I do and would bet next months profits on it. The only thing I will add if they every learned to talk, I would be in deep dodo with the wife.

what a great bunch of dogs.  I love dogs.  they are so much better then people.

I especially like those two west highland white terriers up there.  I dont go in too much for small pups but I do like westies.

anyway, I have had three rescued malemutes.  a Mal can carry a dog backpack all day long when youre hiking.  here is a picture of my present dog, Lykkan. he is a genuine bastard. seriously.

No way. He is so kicked back and relaxed not a care in the world.

trust me.  genuine bastard.  I mean, I love him, but he is the baddest dog Ive ever had or heard of.

He seems to take pleasure in disturbing the peaceful way of life I lead.  he is smart, but he uses his intelligence to further his plans for global domination.  he tries to chase the ghosts of animals.  he wants to eat horses.

on the other hand, he can throw a ball back into my hands when we're playing.  when Im not around he throw the ball against a wall so he can play catch by himself.

 

by the way, the first photo is of a blue eyed Merle Australian sheperd?  did you know that led zeppelin wrote a song about that breed?

[Mark SW]

My Aussie doesn't try to eat horses but raccoons are a different story. 

The Led Zeppelin song  that comes to mind is just because of it's title is  Black Dog but that's not it.
