60+ year old thread.

Found a pup, friends of the owner even drove it to the small town I live near. Wanted me to take two, said no. They talked quite a bit, finally said good bye.
Repo.
I worked making sure Harleys got titled when I retired last year about this time, so had to come up with something related. Even a little.

Nice looking pup.

 

Thank you, hope it turns out to be a good dog, a Lab and German Short hair X. Seems smart, 7 weeks old, up and down steps to the deck. Knows the door is to the warm inside, have to push him outside. ) Was hoping for a cuddly pup, sharp teeth are hard on my ears. Will have to see how he comes along, showing personality already, attacks an old leather leash and small choke chain I brought in. Neighbor suggested a harness so he doesn't slip it or mess his neck up. Paper towels have been handy so far. Trying to crate train him, slow process I think. Will start giving him obedience training soon, I've self trained all my late dogs, Pooch was partially trained for SAR.

I'm 60, a grandpa, and I just got a 2017 Tacoma. Not my first rodeo with Toyota's though. First one was a 1977 pickup. I can't understand all the talk on this forum about how bad the gen 3's are. Wife and I took the new truck on an extended weekend trip and it performed great. At one point in the Oregon coast range I had her up to 90 going up hill before the wife started squawking about going too fast, truck still had more go in her!!

 

Hundreds of thousands sold, even a tiny percentage is going to be hundreds of vehicles.

Welcome aboard Captqc, plenty of room on the porch.

 

Puppy!!!!! Cute little guy. What's his name? He's way too young for a choke collar - get a harness!!!! They're NEVER too young for obedience training

welcome from a wanna be

afternoon Dave

 

Susan, named the pup Repo. See my original post for full details and why. )
More paper towels needed today, take care of bodily functions and he does the same! Did he eat that much?

Evening all:
You will get through it Duane, looks like you found a good hiking buddy.
Cute little critter, maybe the pup will grow big enough to put saddle bags on to help carry some gear----or it's food!

Welcome to the porch Captqc!

 

didn't get that was his name. Take him out after drinking & eating, waking up, when done playing and the accidents should lessen

 

Great looking pup, Duane! Puppy teeth are always the worst - like tiny needles.

Welcome to the porch, Captqc! I'm still driving a 1st Gen but looking forward to moving up at some point.

 

Morning All,

Welcome to the porch Captqc Great bunch of folks here and plenty of topics so jump on in and enjoy.

Cute pup Duane, they need a lot of attention and TLC when they are young and with time they will grow to be a good companion. Squeaky chew toys should help with the baby teeth.

Hi Miss Susan.

 

Out with the old and in with the new! Going from a 1984 to a 2017 is like the Wright brothers taking their second flight in a 747!!!

 

Welcome Captqc. I don't know about where you live, but that truck should bring close to 2 grand. Good material for mudders/extreme off roading. Speaks loads with the new truck by it.
HI Susan.
Puppy is doing good, no issues, take him out every couple hours. He knows his way back to the barn when done. ) Put Repo in his crate for 6 hours last night, no mess. Of course we both woke up bout the same time for nature call. At 4AM. Funny when he launched off that small stump yesterday.
Duane

 

I put the 84 on Craigslist for $3,900 and sold it in two hours for $3,700! Speaking of puppies, I'm thinking that a new pup would go well with the new Tacoma! Just need to convince my wife.

 

That was a pretty good price. When I sold my 07 Civic, I got my asking price a year ago.

Morning all:
Amazing that the older Toyota 4X4's bring some good money!

Darn, just found two more ticks imbedded in me, looks like it may be a bad year for them! Need to remember to spray my turkey hunting gear with permethrin to repel them, otherwise I will probably have them all over me.

 

At first I didn't like the sand color, but it's growing on me. Good luck with the new Tacoma.

The kids moved out, The cat died and we are empty nester's and love it. Maybe someday when we're not traveling as much, we will get companion.

TICS . When we come back down from our place upstate, I feel like a monkey with the wife picking through my hair looking for tics. Take care Carl.

 

Hair seems little bushy to be a Lab/GSP mix. But, who knows. His sleep position looks exactly like my GSP sleeps, though. Should be a great combo. Hunting? Lots of quail up your way.

Back legs up by her nose.

 

Looks like my son's GSP. He chews up everything including cable tv wires, wires to central ac unit, boat trailer wires and loves to dig.

He started pointing the backyard chickens when he as very small but has now eliminated them.

On a positive note he seems to have eliminated the ground moles which he proudly deposits on the back doorstep.
