Let's See Your Dogs!!

I still wonder how this dog...


Turned into this dog...

 

Funny you say that. Our Bloodhound, Ruby, is the same way.

 

Hadn't seen her in awhile and she didn't come when I called for her so I started searching the house. Found her snoring her head off in the shower.

Here is a pic of my puppy I took today. Bear is 12 years old this day. Happy Birthday, Boo.

 

Is he a Chesapeake?

 

Yes. He's the 4th Chessie I've had. Amazing dogs.

 

I thought about getting one before my current chocolate lab. They're great dogs. Maybe a bit thick sometimes from what I hear.

 

Took this picture of Drake today. Every time we go out front, toward the truck, he thinks it is time to take a ride.

 

No thicker than some others I've had. But so loyal. Such a great family Protector. He has taken on the task of Family Guardian. Whatever room my wife is in, he'll post up right at the doorway, looking out. Or, at the top of the stair to watch all rooms. he's truly amazing.

I had a Black Labrador named Molly (born December 11, 1994) who lived to be 15 and died literally 3 months after I got my Tacoma. I managed to get a couple pictures of her in the bed of my then-new truck and am currently scouring Facebook looking for them...

However, until I find the pictures of Molly in the back of my truck, here is a picture of me with Molly when she was a puppy to keep my fellow dog lovers entertained. The picture was taken in 1995 at our old house in North Wales, and I would have been 5 or 6 at the time...

 

This picture was also taken in 1995, but when Molly was a bit older and thus a bit bigger. I've always called it "Chef Molly."



I loved this picture so much that my mom had the original picture framed for me as a birthday present one year.

 

Love our pug, and his Frenchy sister!

 

And this is Molly probably not even 2 weeks before we had to put her to sleep. Her health deteriorated all the way through 2009, but as you can see in this picture she was still up to playing in the snow. Then she turned 15 on December 11, her health rapidly deteriorated (most notably kidney failure and arthritis), and we put her to sleep on December 23.

 

Kronos.
