90 Days of Dog

[A.J. Holst]

Meet Boo, our German Shepherd.

Acquired her from a foster family, she's about 3 years old. Her previous life was at best, neglected.

I no longer need an alarm clock, guaranteed wake up nudge no later than 630a for bathroom and breakfast.

Great looking dog!

LOL wanted to sleep in a bit today but my girl had the same idea as yours. Hopefully you have a great dog and a friend for life.

This is Olivia.

I have 5 dogs, 3 of which are rescues. My avitar is one of them that just adores me and LOVES to be in my lap in the recliner! LOL

This is Katy. She showed up uninvited about six weeks ago, skinny and afraid to be touched. She's proven to be a sweet, gentle, but worthless hound, and I guess she's adopted us and has moved in permanently. She doesn't like to pose for photos, though.

This is Rosie and I have the same problem as a couple others when it comes to sleeping in late. In the morning she lets me know she is up and I should be up too. She starts howling like a hound on a treed Coon and won't stop till I'm up. She is a full blooded Basset Hound and I got her from a Breeder that had her fixed and wanted to rehome her. I enjoy listening to a hound bay and yodel, just not at 6AM.....lol

We should all work hard to be the man our dog thinks we are!

This is Ginger. 17 pounds of pure badass (in her mind). She's a rescue and the best dog I've ever had.

I was heading out to church earlier so didn't take the time to upload a picture, but here is my "pack".

Beautiful doggies! 

I thought you country boys got up early? Things must've gotten a lot softer on the farm than when I was little. LOL!

Boy, I miss having a doggie.

They do not live long enough. I quit when I realized i could not bury another friend.

This is Shadow, we got him from friends who unexpectedly had puppies. I call him the galloping goober.

Same here, had to put way too many in the ground. Can't do it anymore.

Yup.

My last two just about killed me when I buried them. I just don't know if I can go through that again. 

Irks me that elephants live 60-70 years but dogs are all well under 20. Mother Nature sure screwed that deal up badly, IMO.

I agree, it's very hard to bury a best friend so I found out about getting them cremated and the last 2 I lost I have cremated and they are still with me on top of my TV console in urns. I can thank many people here for being able to have Kasey cremated because at the time I could not afford to get it done and many folks here stepped up and helped me. I had Kasey almost 18 years. Then I was not sure I wanted another one and this one found me and her name was Darbby and I became very attached to her quick and had her about 5 years and she had health issues when I got her and finally she developed Kidney Failure and I had her put down and this time I was financially able to have her cremated so she is on the TV Console next to Kasey. If there comes a time for Rosie She will be up there on the TV Console also.

I felt the same way after I lost my big yellow lab 3 and half years ago, I felt so much grief and pain. I told my wife I couldn’t do it again. But my wife couldn’t live without a dog in the house. So we adopted a puppy from animal rescue, she has brought us great joy especially these last couple years.

I totally get this, my lab is on the fire place mantle. It brings me some comfort to know he is nearby.

Believe me when I say I totally understand the need to have a dog in your life. I have had a dog or dogs in my life since I was 6 years old and a house to me is not complete without at least 1 or more in the house. Back when I was a kid I had as many as 4 or more at the same time and I would work doing odd jobs for folks to buy their food. That was my fathers only rule even though many times he would have to kick in a little, as long as I tried it was ok for me to have them....lol.

Our baby, we kind of inherited from my daughter a couple years ago.  Shhh, don’t tell her she’s a dog, as she don’t know it.
