Dogs

The fact that a lot of us here have dogs comes up from time to time, often enough so that it's very clear just how much these critters mean to us. Accordingly, I thought it would be a good idea for us to post pictures of our muts here for our mutual enjoyment.

I'll start. This is Chuk, my whippet. He's 9 1/2 now. The photo was taken when he was 2 or 3 and having a blast on the race track.

PS: Chas, glad your little rat face ir doing better.

Was he really having a blast on the race track???? I doubt it. I'm sure he is a lucky dog, one of the few to have found loving homes after the racetrack sucks all the joie de vivre out of them.

This was taken some years back as I still had hair. My buddy here is Randi, the Sheltie/Spitz mix we got from the pound when he was five, he died of cancer just a week before his seventeenth birthday.

Thank you.

That mask kinda makes your hound look like Hannibal Lecter once he got loose from the dolly.

Will attempt to post Rat Face in due time, but I always fall short on posting, or even emailing pictures. Never can shrink the bandwidth enough.

What a handsome looking beast, and the dog looks pretty good, too.

Thanks but things have changed quite a bit, my hair went white and is slowly turning pink.

I can relate to that.

Take care,

Hey John,

Chuk looks like a body-builder. I don't think I have ever seen an animal with muscles ripped quite like that. What an athlete.

Regards,

Dalmatians.

Spot and Sadie. These pics were taken about four years ago.
Both dogs are getting quite old now. Spot has arthritis, trouble controlling his bowels and I believe he is going blind. He is also losing weight, because he will only eat when I am present, (This is something new.) I fear he may not have much longer.

Sadie is about 11-12, Spot is about 14.

Dave, those dogs have faces that only a human could love.

Isn't it nice to look into their faces and see no malice, no judgment - only affection and trust. Before mine got so deaf she doesn't hear the garage door open anymore, she would always be at the top of the stairs leading up from the garage, and I sweah to Gawd, she was grinning at me.

Regards,
