You've seen him before, but here's Benny in his backyard grand canyon of snow.

OK I'll pile on. My avator is one of my two pountmutts. We've had dogs since we were married. In fact my wife's dog had to give me the sniff approval before we dated seriouly.   This is the oldest one, she has never played with toys but lately I've seen her doing this. I don't know why, maybe to make the hyper one jealous

"...sniff of approval..." LOFL!!!

Ok now, which one is the "moon puppy"?

Hey Model Maniac, you're a "good egg" as we say, thank you for letting us "use" your thread here so freely, and for being such a good sport about it!

Those are funny stories about your dogs, and they are really very cute! As are all of our "best friends" here!

One last pic from me here--my father bought my mother a new "best friend" for Christmas--a Maltese named "Maggie"; she 's only a pup, and so sweet! My sister bought her litter mate, and calls her "Lexie" Here's pics... 

Lexie and Maggie playing:

...Maggie-doog:

I don't now if you celebrate Christmas, but if you do, I hope you have a Merry one with your doogs, your family and all your builders, and a prosperous New Year! 

Kinda looks like your wife was standing next to you holding the food bowls.

Great stuff those pets. Have a great holiday and a Happy new Years, MM!

Model Maniac, I must say that I'm both relieved, and impressed, with your response here. You could have been offended by the direction that this thread had inadvertantly taken; instead you chose to recognize the common love for our pets that we all share, and have joined in to celebrate the "Love of Doogs"! BRAVO!

Your doogs are adorable! I can't pick a favorite! I hope they all live long and healthy lives, and thank you for joining us all in posting them here!  Make a Toast Yeah!! Big Smile

You're very welcome, the doog! When I saw others posted their dogs' pics I just wanted to show mine too.

I hope all the dogs whose pics are shown here will all live long and happy lives!

MM, your dog Brown looks just like mine. But he sounds like he uses more of his brain than mine does...Banged Head Mine just likes to get wet and eat (a real chow hound)... Still has not yet gotten the fetch thing down yet...

stikpusher, sure, it's the same species. Your dog is two years old, may be too old to train now (or not?)
But fetching things should be in his DNA, hence his species name "golden retriever". You may try again now. ;-)

MM I vote for Bank. He may be fierce but he looks really smart. Thanks for posting the guys, and I said also before, tho it got lost in the barking, very nice thought provoking diorama.

Bank seems to be the herd leader in the house, he often treatens Brown. Yesterday evening Brown went
missing, I looked around the house and called for him but he didn't show up. I was puzzled because all
the gates were closed, he couldn't go out anywhere. It was Bank's threatening sound that revealed where
Brown was. He was in the narrow passage between the kitchen and the side wall of my house, hunting
for rats. I've never seen him there befor, there is no entry at the front side.

Here's my buddy Auggie. My wife Joanne found him laying in a median strip on a major road near here after being hit by a car. She took him to the vet and we posted notices all over looking for his owner. To no avail. That was 3 years ago and he's a huge part of our family now.

Cute dog you've got there! Auggie surely is a lucky dog!

To continue the off-road drive, here's a pic of my doog, Deacon.  I got him when he was a puppy, from a girl whose husband was going to take him out and kill him, b/c they couldn't take care of a newborn baby and a doog.  Sigh    The first night I took him home, he slept in the crook of my neck, and he's been there ever since!

That's a real touching story!  I wonder how did the original owner got the dog at first. Anyway, Deacon
is now in the best place he can find. My dogs are not that lucky. They're not allowed into the inner house,
not to mention my bed.

I must be a bad person, insofar as I reckon that the various dog pictures have actually contributed postively to this thread...Cool

Well, dogs are man's best friends. On the day I took the pictures of my dogs, I took 4 pictures total.
I have shown 3, here's the last one:

LMAO, Rick!!

Doog, the camo on my doog is freehanded with an Iwata HP-CR. 

Jeff

PS-MM(and AI): thanks for being a good sport about us hijacking your thread!

OH MY GOD, You guys are KILLING ME!!!!! LMFAO!!!

Those pics are GREAT!!! HA HAHA!!!!!  HEY DOOGS!!!! 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Love it Rick.....

If I had a pooch....

Well, this thread has certainly gone to the Doogs, so I may as well help out with a pic of my Doog at her last visit to the vet....

Regards,  Rick

Jeff, what technique did you use to get that awesome "splatter effect" on that doog? Was that the old "load up the brush and flick with a toothpick" trick?

Another cute, lovable doog!

(I just can't help myself!) LOL!

Ready, Doog?

one... two.. three... ... ...

I'm really enjoying this thread! 

9 Toe, that's a great story about Auggie, she looks like a sweet doog.

Beef! On the hoof still, but still beef... as the commercial says," it's what's for dinner!"

I run a mean BBQ and have not for several weeks now with the shorter days...

Grizz this thread took a sharp left turn off the hiway a while back and has been in uncharted area ever since... kinda fun if you ask me...

Mmmmmmmm dinner...

We do have a steer that is going to the "Prosessor" soon.  It's all grass fed beef.  We also have chickens for eggs and meat.  No antibiotics or hormones.

Dang it now I'm highjacking.  Ok I'll stop or post in the general discussion forum.

Mmmmmmmm dinner...

He is a cutie-pie, for sure.

HEY AUGGIE-DOOG! WHAT A CUTE DOOG---AGAIN!

No problem, 9! Glad you posted your doog here! Another adorable "Best Friend"!  

Well...you're right Grizz it has turned in a funny direction. I still don't understand the piling on that his posts seem to illicit...or the negative remarks directed at MM because of whether he chooses to participate in the threads he starts. But he seems not to mind so my humble apologies to all.
