I saw a coyote a couple weeks back along a very busy road and a very populated place. I knew right away it was a coyote and not a dog. Trust me GG, you'll know.

There is a turtle on the other side of our fence and the dogs are going nuts. Specifically Arrow who is barking like a maniac and then running around the house crying then back to the door to bark. Here are a few pictures of his movements.

The Beagle that inspired my avatar is waiting for me at Rainbow Bridge. He lived to be sixteen.

The little b*tch who lives with me now almost took my finger off and prematurely ended my 2015 golf season, even as we're having one of the most beautiful New England autumns that I've ever seen.

Being totally stupid, I love her, too. Even though she's going to jump on my lap and fight the Patriots-Redskins game for my attention all afternoon.
 
Some of you may remember our buddy Mulligan who we fostered for one night and adopted one day later. He was taken from us by an aggressive soft tissue cancer far too soon. We recently decided to look for another dog to give a forever home. Even though we are miserable failures as a Foster home, we have developed some contacts and will be meeting Jilly in Nashville this weekend. Hopefully, all goes well. #ExcitedandHopeful. It's time.....

Oh and for everyone that says pit bulls don't get along with other dogs...

It's a somber day today in the Trout household. Our little buddy Izzy was having kidney failure and we had to put him down, he had been acting pretty lethargic and a couple days ago stopped eating and was losing weight rapidly.

I came home from work one day 14 years ago and my wife had said she rescued a tiny kitten from certain death as he was ababdoned and dying from pneumonia and worms, we took him to the vet and it was touch and go for about two weeks, but he pulled through and gave us an enormous amount of joy, memories and happiness, his personality was as large as life itself. We hope our furry friend has crossed over to rainbow bridge and is playing with all the other furry family members that have passed.

Animals have always been a very big part of my life and I often feel closer to them than humans.

Rest easy little buddy, thank you for a lifetimes worth of memories.

Marc, I'm heart broken for you buddy. I know from getting to know you how much animals mean to you and it's never easy losing one as they are family members. Thinking about you buddy.
 
Marc......Man.......sorry to hear of this fella. I know exactly how you feel and wish I had seen this when it happened. Thinking of you guys man!

Thanks Cookie. I'm one of those "You Can Never Go Back" kinda guys, but when I saw her all I could think about was Mulligan and sittin in the chair with him. They look remarkably similar, but she is only a little over a year old where Mully was over 12. We hope to get along well with her when we meet. They checked all of our references and with our vet and seem to be excited to meet us. Fingers crossed!

Found this beauty in the middle of the road, cold and scared as cars whizzed by her! I had to stop and give her a chance and boy was that a mistake! I fell in love with her! She's a beautiful, shy, and very submissive pitbull. She was so friendly and loving. I couldn't keep her overnight so I dropped her off at my local animal shelter just so the owners have a chance to find her. If they don't come and get her I think I'm going to adopt her. I hope she gets along with other dogs and can join my family. I've always wanted a beauty like her.


UPDATE: Thanks to one of the few good uses of social media, the post we made was shared over 200 times in less than 24 hours and the owner saw it! She's picking her up at the pound now!

Hoping my THP family can help out with a cause that's near & dear to our family. We adopted our Riley last July through the Lucky Lab Rescue organization. They have an annual calendar contest/fund raiser. We entered her last year and she raised almost $3K for the group. She is this month's calendar girl and we are trying to get her into the 2016 edition. You can vote for her in this link for as little as $5. https://www.gogophotocontest.com/luckylab/entries/35088 Vote early & often!

That's great to hear and I hope the shelter is very thorough in making sure they are the actual owner. No tags or chip might make me suspicious. Some evil people out there that will take these dogs for the wrong reason.

This puppy thing is almost more work than an infant:). So far potty training is 50/50 but getting better

the best toy (besides biting my pants and socks) is whiffle golf balls. He loves those things / kicks and carries them everywhere. Ironically his best friend is our in house cat they both play together and the cat is real careful with him as well . Really something fun to experience for sure
 
She absolutely melts my heart. I love this dog so much.
