The Pets Thread

Looks like Remus found a new use for my 56° wedge. Forget the cat beds and heated beds, this is where he chooses to sleep 🤷‍♂️

The kennel is almost done, just a few more details to take care of. It's in a nice spot under our back deck, in the shade from mid-morning on. We just plan on using it when Kona is home alone during his heartworm treatment period, which shouldn't be too often.

Welcome to the Pets thread to Archie! We spent a fair bit of time tracking down a good adoption dog, and settled on this champion. Obviously puppy life isn't something I'm thrilled about, but going to be worth it in the end for the bond he and Cal will have.

Can we call him Canadog? How old is the pup?
 
Canadan said:
He's nearly three months.

I call him "mr bitey #$%er" presently :ROFLMAO:

Is Mr. Bitey going to impact the 2021 round count? We got our girls when they were about 5 months and they’re 15 months now. It’s an adventure! But they’ve met our one year old nephew a couple times and it’s so adorable it makes me sick. I bet Archie and Cal team up against you!

Oh yeah, round count is going to suck this year I think. Thanks, Baseball.

Say hello to my 8-month-old best pal, Buddy.

Going through pictures of some of our former "Best Dogs I ever Had". Here's one of two really good buddies, Tay (the Golden) was nine when this one was taken, and Snickers (Brittany/Ausie mix) was five. They were both rescues, we got Tay when he was 6 months old, and Snickers when he was 4 months old. Tay was with us for fourteen years, Snickers for fifteen. They were a couple of great dogs, and best friends. This photo was taken in 2006.

Arrow’s surgery is scheduled for Monday. I hate that he has to have surgery, but I just know his eye will feel so much better when this giant tumor is gone.

We had to do that to our little yorkie last year. It was quick and his recovery was good. I was torn on whether to do it or not but glad we did. Our little guy passed away a few months ago and it just has not been the same here. His sister is still with us though. Wishing Arrow the best on Monday!

I am so sorry for your loss. But thank you so much for the encouraging words about the surgery, that really does help a lot.
 
I hope you all don't mind me taking you along as I reminisce about some of the great dogs I've had in my life. These will only go back so far, many of my dogs were back in the film era, with few pictures scanned to digital format. Maybe something I need to work on, dig up the old photos and do some scanning.

One of my all time favorite pictures of Tay. He was only three years old in this one, way before he started getting the Golden Retriever white face, taken back in 2000.

A few more pics of Kona, learning his way around the property. He has been absolutely great so far, and settling in nicely. Such a handsome boy, he's a bit shy of 1 1/2 years old, and about 75 lbs.
