Is it time for a cute doggy picture thread?

[LisaM]

Meet Gordie!

[LisaM]

1. And my other dog

Bonnie, the wild woman

[hatredisnotavalue]

2. Meet Boodah.

[LisaM]

3. Awwwww.......

what a cute dog! How old is he?

[hatredisnotavalue]

6. He turned one on June 9.

p.s. you have wonderful looking dogs, that one on the coast really made me smile...

[LisaM]

10. Bonnie? That was shortly after we adopted her

she came from a shelter in the U.P. where it was about 1 degree with a foot and a half of snow and two weeks later she was running wild on the beach in the San Juan Islands - she clearly was happy about her change in fortune.

Gordie was adopted from a shelter in Wyoming, which is why he has a cowboy hat.

4. Here are mine.

Sam, a little camera shy.

And my recently departed Ruby

[LisaM]

5. Oh, I'm sorry about Ruby

I lost a dog last November (she was elderly.)

[wildeyed]

8. Ruby had chronic renal failure.

She was only 6 when she passed. But she had a really good life and brought us a lot of happiness. We do miss her :cry:

[LisaM]

11. That was probably what Zelda had, too, but she was so old by then

again, I'm so sorry. I'll go find a picture of Z.

[SeattleGirl]

7. Ruby looks like a dog I had when I was a kid.

[wildeyed]

9. She was a Border Collie.

Probably what you had. Great dogs, really smart.

[flvegan]

12. Here's a couple:

One of my big boy:


I think that this girl is particularly cute, as well. She looks sad, though. Could be that short-ass chain she's on...

[wildeyed]

13. What kind of dog is the black and white one?

He looks mighty comfy there with his pillow.

[flvegan]

16. He's a Great Dane and ?

Probably pointer, or something. A tiny bit of a mix there. I adopted him from the humane society while I was volunteering. I've always had Danes, and I refuse to buy one. So I waited for one to come in.

He's the best thing that's ever happened to me.

[wildeyed]

17. He's a cutie.

Your girl is too. She is fully pouting in that shot. You can see her bottom lip sticking out.

[hatredisnotavalue]

14. did you forget your beating of her that day?!

I had one of the same. Buffett, black lab, always looked as he had eaten a bad taco. This is a picture of him really, really happy.

[flvegan]

18. Actually, that picture of her was taken

very shortly before I took my boltcutters to that chain.

Long story...

[LisaM]

15. Cute!

Here is Zelda, the dog we lost last year. She was fifteen when this picture was taken.

[wildeyed]

20. She looks very spry in that shot.

So sorry for your loss.

[LisaM]

22. Thanks. I think that her love of swimming kept her going for a while

she swam right up to the end. She just loved it. The dogs I have now won't swim. We take them in the water and put them in where it's a little deep and they paddle frantically and then scoot for shore.

[wildeyed]

23. I hear you.

Ruby was obsessed with her frisbee, even at the end when she was really sick. We spent so many happy evenings playing. So I thought I would enjoy playing with my new dog Sam. Nothing doing. Not only will he not retrieve, but he is actually afraid of the frisbee and goes to hide under the shed when I try to throw it for him. I guess they all have their own likes and dislikes.

[LisaM]

24. Yes, Gordie an d Bonnie need to learn how to play

we adopted them both when they were a bit older. We had Zelda (and her brother Scott, who died in 2001) as puppies and they both played. They would fetch things together - starting with a tennis ball - and then when they started swimming, they would come back with the same stick! Scott wasn't quite so intrepid as Zelda. She would go out farther for the stick and he would wait till she got closer, then latch on.

Did you adopt Sam as a puppy?

[wildeyed]

25. No, I got both Sam and Ruby as adults,

both through Border Collie Rescue. Sam is not pure, but they fostered him anyway.

Ruby was an abused working dog before she came to rescue. So I guess after all that work, she was ready to play. Somewhere along the line, she learned to chase a disk, and that is all she really wanted to do.

I know less about Sam's background. The rescue picked him up out of a particularly nasty kill shelter in a rural part of the state. And you are right, he doesn't know how to play. We are working on it, though :)

19. Cute and fashionable!!

:applause:

[LisaM]

21. Who, Gordie? He definitely poses

He has this trick of looking back at you, as if he's flirting. He is a very sweet dog.

[fleabert]

[WindRavenX]

27. I want your dog

[wildeyed]

28. Aaawwww....

What a cute little pumpkin.

[fleabert]

31. she is my child!

i couldn't be more proud of her...

[LisaM]

29. What a sweetie!

He doesn't look very scary though. But don't break it to him (her.) Let him dream.

[fleabert]

32. she thinks she is a doberman, guarding the Taj Mahal... (sp?)

midbark...

[ornotna]

33. Sure, why not

This is my Reina. Bestest dog in the whole world (my world anyway :-) )

[LisaM]

34. Another good looking dog!

And happy, too, by the looks of it.
