Thread: Dogs!

I can go with those 'feathers'. Our Border Collie had similar if we didn't keep them trimmed.

I'll never get tired of looking at Buddy. Such a sweet looking guy.

Jack Russells are so hilarious. Sebastian is no exception.

I've said it before: Dogs make us better people. You guys are awesome men who have awesome dogs! Here's my cool girlfriend Lia that we're dog-sitting while my oldest son is on a 2-year assignment in Japan:

And here she is sans shades giving me "those eyes." In case it's not obvious, she owns me, not the other way around.

My son is going to have to sue for custody when he returns!

Funny related story. I let my students do sort of a digital quarantine presentation as their last fun project as a reward for carrying on during the lockdown. Among all the Google Slide shows and videos was a common thread: nearly all featured pets prominently. Dogs love pandemics; I don't think the world's pets have ever gotten so much love and affection!

Thank you! I just found this picture. Shows him in a better light.


Cool dog Paul! Ready to go outside.

It's something unexplainable to have a dog like Toro, one that you are really connected with. I had a Doberman named Taz like that. He was so smart, so obedient and so loyal. That dog would have died to protect me and especially my mother (I had Taz while I wasin college living at home). He was so protective of her one day my brother came to the house while I wasn't there and Taz wouldn't let him in the house. If I was there it was no problem. I've been trying to find a picture but they're tucked away somewhere. Here are 2 of his puppies though Sampson and Dina.


All my Dobermans were red. He was from Germany so he was tall and lean with the long face instead of shorter and stout like the American Dobies. That was the scariest looking dog I have ever seen but he was a big baby with his family. God I miss that dog. I love Max and Sebastian equally as much but there will never be another like Taz. It's funny because you never seem to run out of room in your heart for the love of a dog.

Here is our almost two year old Border Collie Jill.
She loves to stalk the evil, wicked tennis ball.

This is my 6 y.o.kurzhaar named Theo, more and more often I find myself wondering why he doesn't speak and I find it rather unfair...

Awww. What a handsome boy! Kurzhaar is a name I'm not familiar with. In America we call them German Short Haired Pointer. My nephew has one. Great dogs

Thank you PaulFLUS.
Kurzhaar is in fact the original german denomination, here for example we use "Bracco Tedesco" probably GSHP is the American translation even if I've just seen there you have the North American Deutsch Kurzhaar Club.
Cheers
