Let's See Your Dogs!!

Play for a bit before hand. Drops. Food treats.

 

New cellphone, so I immediately go out and take a picture of my dog Scout

 

The poppies are going crazy in the backyard so I decided to get some shots with the DSLR. Sadie decided to find out what the hell was going on. She got bored and starting hunting for lizards. Her favorite thing to do when we're not out hunting pheasant.

 

Nobel (Polish Lowland Sheep dog) is checking out his new ride:

 

What breed is that? Beautiful dog

 

Well, not up to loading up in the truck yet, but did manage this today all by himself.
And chased the drone a little bit.

Oh, he also hates the ear flush bottle for some reason.
So I dont give him any choice.
Hes a good patient for everything but ear cleaning its just his pet peeve I guess.

 

You have an amazing property, Don!

 

German Short Haired Pointer.

 

It's a small lot in a residential neighborhood. But it's a good spot with a nice view. Not too bad if you have to live in Oakland, Ca.

 

Hinckley the Cockapoo finally gets to sit in the bed with the new cap on.

 

Thats my cody-bear!

I'll be glad when this leg thing goes away.
This is the first time we've slept apart, but touching in 6 years.
Usually every nap is this ^^^

 

A PG&E guy came around today. He kept saying "please keep the dog inside". Imagine if he saw that on his neck.

For people who come around and say "keep the dog inside", I want to say "hey, he lives here, you don't"...

 

Never could figure out how the ups man got packages on the porch when I was gone.

Was home off of night shift one day, watched him drive up to the gate, give the dogs a couple cookies, throw a couple more in the yard, hustle thru the gate to the porch, turn around and toss a couple more in the yard, hustle back to the gate, each dog got one more treat and he jumped in his truck and was gone.

I didnt mind.
Ups man is on the approved visitor list always.
Just couldnt figure out how till that day.

I worked as a meter reader and accessed a lot of back yards while people were at work and I'll tell you the scariest dogs were the ones out alone with the owners wife or kids, kids especially.

We had one we called hidden tiger crouching pitbull, every rookie got that route, including me.
Everyone had radios and would be gathered somewhere we could watch around the time that meter was about to be read...

He had just enough chain to alllllmost get you when you came in the front gate.

A cookie took care of him too if no one was around.
After you changed your underwear.

Always nice to have the handler around but that wasnt always an option.
I always said if dog is cool let him out. But you never know how dog is going to react so some of the guys just asked to keep dog in always.

Nobody likes extra paperwork.

 

Indeed
Very nice

 

My Akita took "ownership" of strangers. If they were permitted in the yard, he'd mark them to claim them as his own. You ever get THAT happen reading meters?

 

First Birthday

Oh yeah
When I least expected it haha

Had special "walking" shoes I only wore for that job.
I would get inspected by my dogs for a full 5 minutes when I got home.

You wouldnt believe the shit I saw reading meters.
This was when electronic meters were just coming out so every one had to be manually read.
Electric and water.
Water meters were usually inside the yard "somewhere"
You had an approx location but some searching was required the first couple of times.
This meant exploring the yard while people werent home.

A knowledge of dog behavior was a must have.
