Nice pics especially of your little baby with that big dog. Is the dog gentle with her? Regardless your little one probably gets occupied with what your dog is doing and gives her something to do.

Those are cute little dogs, I think the Lord gives animals a big coat of fur so people won't think there is a bunch of ugly dogs or cats running around.

:tinfoil:

They are best friends, we got Duke when they were both 6 weeks old. They snuggle all the time. Best dog I have ever had.

How to Figure Out Your Dog’s Age
http://pets.webmd.com/dogs/how-to-ca...-your-dogs-age

You must be ignorant or too lazy to verify to provide a solid rebuttal. Dogs mature and age faster than humans (or using human years) is a well known fact. The exact amount may be vary to some, but the general idea isn't false.

According to the chart I linked above my dog is 80 years old in human years. My vet did say the big ones didn't last as long as the small ones. Aka age faster.

So, do any of you feed vegetables to your dogs regularly? I was visiting my sister in Sacramento recently. She had a legal matter that she had to attend to and one of her neighbors had to go with her. It was going to last all day and into the night so they asked me to dog-sit both households. No big deal, all of the dogs involved are friendly. Anyway - the neighbors feed carrots to their dogs as snacks. The dogs are crazy for them. Their vet told them it was a good idea. I thought it was kind of funny. My dogs have always been hairy four legged garbage disposals. Every once in a while I'd do the dick move of pretending to drop something that I knew they'd hate. Like a piece of lemon or something. Well tonight I was at a drug store and saw a bag of dried green beans. They were set up like a snack. I think you're supposed to pretend that they are chips. They look like this:

https://d2s7ckq4p8lpu.cloudfront.net...1822584456.jpg



So I buy a bag to check them out. Not bad. Not really good, but not horrible. Tastes like...green beans. My dog sees me eating them when I get home and starts hopping around and giving me the long looks. It's as close to begging as he is allowed to do. I give him some...he goes nuts. Loves the shit. How weird is it that my dog appears to love green beans?

I am down to Ninja (cat) and Gordo (dog).

Huck (Brown white)

Zuzu (blonde bitch)

My old standard schnauzer, Sparky. He was a dog w/ a human brain. VERY smart. This dog was very active, knew more commands and hand gestures than just about any other dog I knew that wasn't a service/military/police trained k9. Loved to swim as you can see here. Could jump off the diving board on command...or would do it himself for fun. Had unlimited amount of fun w/ that dog in the summers over the yrs. Unbelievably athletic for his size. great p4p all around dog.

Only thing bad about this dog was greeting people at the front door when someone would ring the doorbell. Or esp when people would come through the back gate, many people did because that's where the pool was. This breed is extremely territorial and are at first weary to strangers by nature. When someone comes into the yard he would alert, bark, growl, but it wasn't an aggressive act, he was just alerting us, but it can be intimidating to strangers he's not familiar with because he stands his ground. Once in the clear, he was a great dog to get along with.

My dogs love veggies, absolutely love them.

And Doritos. Or red chips as my little one calls them, but they will not touch a pretzel.

Oh and bread? I can't eat it around them or they try to maul me for it

Dogs are omnivores rather than true carnivores like cats.

Holy shit. The one, and I mean one, food my dog would not touch was a pretzel. Any form -- hard, soft, baked, from a bag, anything. That was until last weekend. When ever I have pretzels, he always wants to try it and there is always a little piece that sits in his bowl and he never actually eats. But this time when I gave him a piece of a soft pretzel from Philly Pretzel Factory, he gobbled it up. No idea why, but it was the first time ever. Today I gave him a piece of a pretzel stick from a bag and he spit it out. There must be something about pretzels in general that dogs don't care for.

First 60 degree day of the year in Chicago and you get busted kicking it out on the deck.

I have to give my dog benadryl this time of year because he gets horrible allergic reactions. First I bought this bag of "pill pockets" and he loved those. He memorized the sound of that particular bag being opened and comes running. Well eventually I used them all and started balling up a slice of wheat bread around the pill instead - he loves it. I'm just going with the bread from now on.

Toto is now over 15 years old and can't hear a thing. He is down to 11 lbs. but very happy. We also have a couple rescue dogs now, Coco a 7 year old Yorkie we have had for about 4 years and Izzy a 3 year old rescue Morkie for two years.

We have a Shih Tzu/Pekingnese mix we call Pepper......he's almost 18 years old and unfortunately it is coming to a point where he is not leading a quality life. He is my son's "comfort pet" (most here know my adult son has Aspergers) and I am not sure how we are going to deal with doing the right thing for a very loyal and beloved member of our family.

Up until a few days ago we also had a tabby cat named Pumpkin....she "adopted" us one day in 2006 when we lived in Columbia MO, showing up at our door as a baby cat mewing. One of our neighbors said he saw a man stop his car near a vacant lot in our neighborhood and drop off a box. When she got suspicious she went to see what was there....and it was a box of baby kittens. She picked them up and put them in her car and took them to the animal shelter. Evidently, one of them got out of the box and wandered to our door. My daughter and son, ever the animal lovers, talked me into letting us adopt her....and since she showed up on Halloween day, we named her Pumpkin because of her color.

She was an indoor/outdoor cat....she hated being inside for too long and would scream at the door if you didn't oblige her. The cat and I had an uneasy tolerance of each other and sometimes it became a test of wills.

About a month ago, for some unknown reason the came suddenly became my best friend. She would stay outside during the day, but at night when I came home, she would want to sit in my lap on "her" throw, or on a chair with her throw. I was scratching my head at the sudden change in her attitude, but was enjoying the attention.

4 nights ago, she looked up from the chair she was sitting in, stretched, and went to the door looking to go outside. We haven't seen her since....we have checked the neighborhood, driven around neighboring areas, and even ventured into the woods to see if we could find her....and nothing.

A friend told me something interesting...something I had never heard about cats so I am not even sure if it is true. That sometimes cats, when they know it is their time to pass, will just disappear to die quietly somewhere. I want to hope that is true....but other parts of me fear that she was a victim of a wild animal or one of the occasional strays that show up here.

Either way.....I hate to admit it....I miss the cat. We were never best of friends...at times we were enemies locked in a battle of wills. But she was our cat....and a member of our family for almost 10 years.

Sniff! I had to put my dog down on Friday. No place would give me some of her ashes though. I wanted to put them in a doggie urn and some in a small vial around my neck as a pendant.

Newest Member of my family... His name is Rubble, Just got him today from a family that had to move and decided they no longer wanted him... He has a life long home now "My birthday is today so he is my present"

My pitbull mix Clarice, and my 3-legged black lab Smokey. This pic is a couple of years old. Smokey has just about a full white face now as he is really old. Both were rescue dogs, so we don't have the exact age for either of them. They have both been extremely good pups though.

This is my service dog Lexus..she is a 3 year old German Shepherd..she is my best friend

We lost our Aussie, Molly, a couple of years ago after almost 16 years. I wasn't sure about getting another dog but my wife was really missing Molly, so last summer we got another Aussie pup. Molly had been a tri-color (white, tan, and black). We didn't want a dog that looked like her so this time we got a red and white Aussie. The breeder had named her Red Sky and we just stuck with Sky. I mostly call her Dog or Damn Dog.

It's a good thing God made puppies cute because she wouldn't have survived her puppyhood. Aussies are very high energy and it took along time to break her of jumping on us (she still tried with strangers; it's a work in progress). She also chewed all the things including eating all of the wiring off of both my boat trailer and my utility trailer.

She's a year old now and is finally starting to calm down. She is going to be a really good dog, I think. She actually seems to be even smarter than our last Aussie (though a bit more independent). She gets along great with our cats and is best buds with our oldest cat, a tubby torbie. She's bigger than our last Aussie too at about 45 lbs. Her dam was pretty small but her sire was the biggest Aussie I have ever seen so apparently she takes after he dad.

A couple of months ago, my wife ran over a deer that had been hit. Her CR-V has skid plates so it didn't cause any damage but it was pretty gory. We let Sky out that night without thinking about it. Sky found the gore and decided to climb under the car and clean it up. When we called her in, she was covered in blood. It was pretty gross.

Had to put my friend down.
 

Bummer of a day but it was for the best. Had to put my pooch down. She was 15 and just started to shut down. Problems getting up and walking, falling down and then she quit eating. I think she was telling us it was time.

Sorry to hear it man. It's hard to make that decision when the time comes. Good on you for not letting her suffer.

Here's one of my kitties Ginger Cat, hanging out on the back porch in her "Scratcher Lounger."

Today is Murtaugh's birthday, so here's the dude being comfy in a cooler.

Sky has been hiking with us this summer. She seems to like her pack and always holds still while I put it on her. She knows it's time to go adventuring when I get it out.

Simply beautiful... How much work goes into tick control?

Right now we are just checking her over after the hike. It's supposed to be a bad year for them but we have only found one and it hadn't dug it. She is due for a vet visit and we plan on getting something for ticks then. I'm spacing the name of it right now but you just put a drop on the skin on the back of the neck.

K9 Advantix?

I looked it up. It's Revolution. I think you have to have a prescription for it.

My vet told me when my dog turn 6 months said to give him this.

http://www.1800petmeds.com/Bravecto-prod11638.html

Interesting. I'll ask about it when I take her in.

Interesting. Now what we're using, but will certainly ask.

So just figured I'd pass along something my vet told me about 800petmeds. I have no skin in the game, just passing it along.

He says there are some meds that you can only get from certain distributors, and some (like what we give our dog, Sentinel) the distributors say they don't supply Pet Meds. They have no idea where they're coming from or if they're legit meds, even though they might look real. :shrug:

So my vet won't write a script if he knows I'm going to Pet Meds.

In any case, he suggested I try Drs. Foster & Smith. They ended up being cheaper anyway, and there's no question where their meds come from.

he's thinking ".....yep. This seems like a good spot".

He wouldn't get out once he got in there :cuss:

Is that Maine coon and Bengal mix?

Curious what makes you say Maine Coon. That cat looks nothing like a Maine coon to me.

I agree, but my brother just got a Maine Coon and Bengal mix. It looks exactly like that cat, same color and everything.

I'm guessing he's some tabby mix. My wife took him in from the neighborhood when it got cold, then left for work. I work from home, so he thinks I saved him, now he won't leave me alone.

Wade!!!!

There were a couple lonely nights during the trade deadline when I suggested Wade Davis could net us a legit power bat or a potential rotation piece.

I'm pretty sure our cat Lily is a Maine Coon mix. She has the tufted ears, massive tail and paws for her size, loves to play in the water and trills and chirps more than any cat I've ever had. Her fur isn't as long as a regular Maine coon but it is incredibly soft.
