Our fur friends.

[TripleDigitRide]

TDR, the Grizwald made my morning! Love basset hounds!

As stubborn as he is, he's my best good friend! I was extremely lucky to get the shot of him looking at the camera. He HATES cameras. I usually have to catch him while he's sleeping or not paying attention.

LOL! A Basset Hound isn't a real lively character is it?

Yeah, he's pretty casual. The only two things that get his blood pumping are his tug-o-war rope and the sound of the refrigerator door opening.

 My buddy this was about 2 years ago. He has a little more gray now but he is still a ball fetching fool.

So this one thought it would be fun to play with a skunk tonight. I love his stinky butt

I know that seating arrangement and the playing with skunks. Always something. [emoji54]

[wmaddox]

Oh yes.

How did you get em to quit stinking or did you just let it ride?

Ours has gotten skunked twice. Google a mixture of dawn dish detergent, baking soda, and peroxide. That's the only thing that works. It will bleach the dog's fur slightly and you should wear gloves.

Really? I'm pretty sure every dog I've ever had had a run in with a skunk. I'm also pretty sure all of them were wise enough to give skunks a very wide berth after that.

[wmaddox]

Mine has gotten it 3 times. And that recipe works great to get rid of the smell. The trick is to wash them immediately before the spray dries.

[Murgatroy]

Got some bright dogs that have to be sprayed two or three times to learn their lesson...

 

 

 

 

I had a dog like that as a kid. If it moved, he chased it. If he caught it, he whined cause he didn't know what to do with it. Skwirrls were his favorite, cause they would go to the trees.

Really. 

 

And yes, a bath with the detergent/baking soda/peroxide, followed by a bath with dog shampoo... repeat as necessary.   Last time it was 2 cycles on day 1 and 1 cycle on day 2.

The fact you suggest gloves seems to me like that is a pretty nasty compound, that and YOU yourself probably don't wanna stink of skunk either. :p

[NoBanStan]

I lost my 14 year old Shelty a few months back. He was my first child and we miss him dearly...

 

We're just now getting to the point where we would be comfortable with another dog. I don't really want another shelty as I think it would cheapen his memory. Looking into a Welsh Corgi but they are hard to come by and expensive if you do. Rescue versions seem to be mostly mixed which is fine but they look less corgi and more like the other breed.

Get a mutt, They seem to make the best all around pets and seems they require less Vet visits. Something with some type of hound mix I have found to be the best..........jmho

It is pretty nasty, anything more than brief exposure will burn your hands... AMHIK...  Don't get it in the dog's eyes. 

[wmaddox]

For the dogs face use warm water and Dawn dishwasher. It never seems to bother my dog. Just make sure you rinse immediately

[MrsMonkeyMan2500]

Well.. we did it.. again.. This is Odie, he is our latest rescue pup! Adopted him from the local shelter 3 weeks ago, we had to wait a week to have him neutered so he's only been with us for 2 weeks. This was taken the day we got him home. They said that he was an owner surrender and they were told it was Lab/Pit mix. He looking nothing like a lab, I do see the possibility of Pit and I am thinking some sort of hound mixed in. His ears are absolutely ridiculous! They are starting to stand straight up now. Which is pretty hilarious.

He only has the sweater on because he was 9.6 lbs and super skinny. Way to skinny, so he needed to stay warm. He has since been fattened up and gained about 10 lbs. He is happy now!

 

Here are some snow pictures too, this is the gang out romping around, I can share it, now that it's gone. Thank god.[URL=http://s166.photobucket.com/user/predsgirl33/media/551508_10153059959300953_8329836683612934222_n_zps7uoewkfd.jpg.html][/URL]
This is Floyd being a creeper across the pond, which froze totally over. Pretty awesome stuff!

Well guys, ignore me, but here's our new addition we picked up this morning. She's a husky/lab mix. I believe her name will be Lola.

Thanks buddy. I have to say I've taken a liking to her pretty quick. Now we have our boy and our girl.

Lola is too cute.   Sorry but I'm forced to post the song video because the song got stuck in my head after seeing this post.   :)
