We already had one daughter and my wife was so sure that we'd have another one that she said that we'd get a dog if we had a son. His name is Ethan and he just turned 7 a couple of weeks ago. The cat just turned 3...

This is my pup, Thumper. She's 5 now, the picture is a year or so old.... Boarder Collie/Shepard cross of some sort. While visiting family for Christmas, we got here from a rescue society in Arizona, that rescues dogs from Mexico. She gets a little cold in the winters up here in Canada...

Here's a pic of my pup, Ginger. 113 pounds and 12+ years old, and as I like to say, "We're both getting white in the muzzle" We almost lost her three years ago, on the 4th of July, when she blew out an ACL and then rejected the internal fix. A second surgery knocked the sap out of her, but came finally came back around. She didn't feel right that entire summer. She's always loved going for rides, and knows about as much english as a little kid. She is a great joy of my life.

This beautiful Great Pyrenees, Allie, was with us until last October. She was almost 13 when she finally succumbed to cancer. Greatest dog I've ever owned, and that from someone who had a Golden Retriever previously. A protector of her flock, but a sweet family dog.
Her faithful friend Taylor, an 11 year old Rottweiler my daughter brought home 6 years ago (just to stay for a "couple weeks" until she could find her a home), is still with us, but her better days are far behind her. She was depressed for months when Allie passed.
I yearn to be pet free (still also have a 16 year old calico cat, and a 12 year old Quaker Parrot) at some point, to do some extended travel without worrying about the pets. But, I also see another puppy coming into our home some day. I'm kind of leaning toward another Pyr.

This is Gauge at 10 months.
I rescued him shortly after I lost my 12 year old Lab.

I'm so sorry, Lee. Allie was beautiful. 13 is an amazing age for one of the giant breeds. I've had 3 saints and a newfie and was amazed when one of the saints made it to 10. You must have taken wonderful care of her.

Thanks Sharon. Of all the dogs I've had come and go, this loss was the most painful. Allie came to us from the shelter at age 2, and we kept her given name. But a more appropriate name would have been Shadow. She was at my side any time I was at home. If I ran down to the shop, she followed and layed on the concrete floor. And until the last year of her life, she often sneaked onto our bed late at night after my wife and I had fallen asleep, and were too tired to fight her off the bed! We also logged probably thousands of miles walking. Really tough to lose a companion like that.
I sometimes think of all the people out there that do not want to be troubled with a dog, and it is sad what they have given up without realizing it.

I have 5 Glen of Imaal Terriers that live in my world with me. They are great companions & a lot of entertainment at our home.

This is Trooper. He's part Shephard, part Bloodhound. He's about 5 yrs old. We got him from a rescue just before Thanksgiving. I tell everyone I got a pony for Christmas. He was found in the Everglades by two guys who had to carry him out. He weighed 45 lbs, had the mange, his paws were torn to shreds and he had an absessed snake bite. He spent two months touch and go in the animal hospital. To give you an idea, he now weighs a healthy 95 lbs.

12 is the norm and I personally have never seen one hit 15. 24 is amazing.

Before Trooper we had two Huskies. One lived to be 16, the other just short of 16. But Mike is right, the norm is 12. And, having had Huskies before the last two, I have to say what Mike is doing is amazing. Anyone who has had Huskies knows that you don't own them, you coexist with them as part of their pack. More than one of them would not be here today if he had not taken them. Good on you Mike.

I've two dogs here, the big one is Molly (aka Meathead), 4 yrs and she's a Springer/Lab/Shepard/Newfie mix. The little guy is Cody (aka Dingdong), 2 yrs and he was supposed to be all Beagle but when he got over 25 lbs at 6 months I knew he was some sort of mix. Turns out he's a Bagel Hound (Beagle/Basset) which totally explains his howl.:biggrin: Molly has a habit of being in the way at all times and Cody snores so loud I think he might be my dad incarnated but either way they are the greatest friends.

Lex is one of the smaller dogs we have had at an even 100 pounds. She isn't very tall but is very solid! Bit of endurance work and she would be an awsome mid wieght wieghtpuller! She is a wonderful bear dog, kid watcher and companion. We are definately big dog people, but it's kinda nice to be able to pick this one up, especially on bath day.
Sitka past away memorial day weekend, we miss her so! I have had several dogs with more brains but few with more heart! Hip dysplagia and sever bone cancer she lived a full life despite the pain and never failed to keep watch over our son. She loved Raspberries! Keeping her from eating us out of Jam was a constant struggle.

Two dogs both labs, brother and sister. We have had 5 years now. Bear the black 1 is about 105 pounds and Angel, his sister is only 65 pounds. They are so spoiled and yes they sleep on the bed. It makes it very cozy. See my Avatar.

Nothing but Akitas for me! This is our old lady, Akisora ("Aki"), carrying her beloved hedgehog, and enjoying one of our recent 4500-mile road trips. She's a very small 75 pounds. She's a rescue. She's 11 years old, but has always presented as a little younger than her age, so we hope we'll still have her for a few more years. She has gotten much lazier in the last 6 months and has started to lose her hearing, though.
Our hundred-pound boy, Moki, passed away just over a year ago (at age 12). He was also a rescue. Here's the last photo we took of him:

I thought I had posted on this thread and came back to look at all the puppies... evidently I pushed the wrong button as my post didn't show up...
This is Maggie Mae... she's a rescue dog we got from a local bookstore... someone tossed her and her brother out in front of the lady's house who runs the store and she picked them up to find them a home... we got Maggie and the brother went to another neighbor... Maggie is the queen of the neighborhood... she's the only female for a mile in either direction and all the male dogs come down to play... she's such a Jezebel... first thing we did after she came to live with us was to spay, so she just teases all the male dogs...
she loves everybody who comes by... if you don't need a bath when you arrive, you're gonna get one anyway.... she loves to lick your knees.
:biggrin:
Third picture, she's taken the cat's bed... I think there's a little jealousy between the two of them...
Last picture, she was "tending" mom after Dianne's hip surgery... that's the only time she's made much attempt to be a lap dog... she seemed to know that Di was in a little pain and wanted to comfort her.

Labrador mix the wife and kids got when I was deployed...
He's a pretty good dog, but not the dog I wanted (I wanted a chocolate female to train for hunting). I am a strictly Labrador owner...only dog I have ever or will ever own.
Have to dig up a picture and add it later.

My MIL had one of them. Miserable little thing. Only dog I knew that would literally bite the hand that fed it. It would take food from your hand drop it on the floor and turn around and bite you before you could get your hand away. Good thing it didn't have any teeth.:biggrin:

I will be adopting my nephews black Labrador in a day or two. He is a 7 yr old (in three months). I know no pic's didn't happen, I will post his picture when he moves in with us. Funny thing, I have been fighting for a dog for 7 hrs and out of the blue the LOML says that she is getting me a dog for my birthday, GO FIGURE? Our daughter bought a Newfie, Newfoudland that will grow to be the size of a small bear and I think that this puppy softened up the boss somehow. I wanted another Siberian but I realize that my energy level would meet that of a Siberian so I gave up on that idea.
