Pictures Of Your Dogs

It's, "Maisie", "Marie", and I am one of the worst, about spoiling these "dogs" I've ever seen, just can't help "myself". I know I shouldn't but still do it. :unsure:

Because of adopting Maisie, they said Leo would have to be fixed before she could come home with us. Hated to do that; scared something could go wrong for him. So we had it done anyway, and by then, they had kept Maisie for seven more days, until he was fixed. Then we took Maisie to be fixed at Shands University, and they kept her three days and nights; only to tell us when we picked her up with her stomach shaved and was put to sleep, she has a tattoo down there, and she's already fixed. :unsure:

Sadly we don't. Both hubby and I just wouldn't be able to take the heartbreak losing one, but we talk about it all the time.

I understand that too, we have our beloved animals buried all around here.
Including a baby calf they were mistreating at the stockyards, spent lots of money trying to save it, found out later it never had a chance since it didn't get its mothers milk.

I will never understand for the life of me how anyone can neglect or abuse animals. I hope there's a special place reserved for such evil when this life comes to en end for them.
 
Many dogs shed constantly, and some shed like horses do in the spring.
Collies, Pomeranians, and some other dogs with long hair shed out in the spring for summer weather, and then grow a thick winter coat again that fall.
Bobby’s dog, Rusty, who is some kind of a beagle/heeler mix, is short-haired, but he sheds year around, and never seems to have a different coat in winter than summer.

Poodles, and most Poodle crosses, have hair, more like people hair, than fur, like dogs or wolves, and it just keeps growing and does not shed any more than a few hairs, just like people do. Shih Tzu’s and Yorkies don’t shed, either.
When I had an Afghan Hound, he had the silkiest hair ever, and didn’t shed either. So, it just varies from one dog breed to another how much they shed.

Just surprising to me; and I don't remember having any, after all I've had, over the years, that shed yet still have a thick coat of hair no matter how much they're brushed. It's almost as bad as the different personalities these dogs have. But we're all starting to really bond, and figure out each other's ways, and personalities. Beautiful dogs in the photo, how old were you in that picture?
 
Maybe some of the longer haired ones have some collie in them ? Maybe the longer haired golden retrievers shed. I have never been around those to personally know how they shed.
Otherwise, they are probably shedding some all year around, Jake.

I was in my early 20’s in that old photo with Stanley, the Afghan Hound. He was from the Longlessons Afghan Kennel in Seattle. He was actually a show quality afghan, but one of their triainers had abused him so bad that he was terrified of people , so they couldn’t show him, and had advertised him for sale to a pet home really cheap, and we bought him.

He had never known anything except life in a kennel, and had to learn how to be a dog, and any fast movements scared him, or if I picked up the broom to sweep the floor, he would go and hide.
It took a long time, but he gradually came out of being so afraid, and he was a wonderful dog. He could run like the wind and jump over anything. He loved going out horseback riding with me.

Thought, 20 or so; great photo. Stanley sounds like the dogs we have, when you open the door for Foxy to come in, and if your feet are facing toward her; she won't come in until you turn around and your feet are headed the other way, still after three years with us. Leo and Foxy will not miss a meal, act as if they are starving, when Leo finishes eating he beats the heck out of his pan, like he's mad it ran out of food. He was starved to death and the vet said he brought him back with the full blood transfusion; I may have told you before. Anyway they still have lots of issues but way better.
 
Leo, Maisie, Getty, and Foxy have changed a lot since Marie has been going through this pain and misery, they know somethings wrong and are showing it.

Big changes in them, they're more gentle and more respectful, it's as if they are aware of something not right. it's truly obvious to them, rescue dogs, all "four" of them, and they're really smart dogs.

Most pets have a keen sense of things, when something isn't right with their people. They can become very clingy.
