What dogs do when you're not watching...

Since I seem to be updating my pets...lol...

This is what the dogs do when I let them out into their 'run'.

The AmBull is Celeste, the mini-dachsie is Hanni...and that's Job hiding half-under the bridge...such a troll that one...

We need to relandscape the dog yard...I don't like what the dogs have done with it...lol. Maybe when hubby has holidays - won't do much good for this year, but it will make it easy to tidy up next spring...

Looks like my dogs! I swear. They randomly get up and run around like grey hound around the house and yard... then pass out for a month.

LOL...I think they look like beached whales...

However, they are quite happy being out there...and can go in the sun or shade as they feel they need too...I just keep an eye out.

If they want 'in', they're not shy about letting me know either. Celeste 'gruffs', Hanni throws herself at the door, and Job howls...

I have three ankle biters... 2 chi-wows (doe leg so think mini grey house, not the apple heads), 1 mini poodle - mini poodle growls for fun... just like a grumpy old man - chiwows take after him lol... its funny they never barked or anything until that darn poodle came into their lives.

2 dogs here, Golden Retriever and Chinese Crested. Crested is old and crotchety and her days are numbered as she's losing bowel control and is completely blind. She sleeps 90% of the time. Golden is 7 and a sweetie, loves ALL people, and is gentle as can be. He also sleeps quite a bit but also loves a good round of fetch.

Post pictures!

It's hard when the pets get old and you know you have to do something about it...and then the waiting for the 'right' time.

That's another reason I didn't want more pets...lol...and now I have the 2 kittens...

I'm blaming it on my older son...I'm sure he planned this...lol. His GF likes the kitties and he likes his GF...

God i love dogs, we used to have a Bull terriër when i was a kid and let me tell you if you want a clown you should get a Bull terriër.
They have this thing if when they get really excited they do a "bull run" which is basically running through the house like a blind bull thrashing about and bumping into everything on their path.
The old coot made it till 14 until her body gave up, she had dementia aswell where she would stare at the walls for 10 minutes before proceeding with what she wanted to do.

It has been 19 L0NG years since my buddy was laid t0 rest, n0t a day g0es by that I d0n't wish f0r an0ther h0ur with him. I grew up with that 0le mutt, had him 15 years. S0meday maybe I will find a d0g ,again, that I can l0ve half as much. Had t0 put him d0wn when I was 21 and I cried f0r 3 days straight, pitiful really, but it was like l0sing a sibling.

I think this is why I don't keep cats or dogs. Sadly. I am in a place where I feel I need to make a larger space for my fish, yet I dont feel as though my animals have a run over my entire life. Realizing that even the largest fish is roughly a sixteenth the size of the smallest dog.

... and yet so much more expensive.

I see it however. were it any of us lounging out back I see every one of us sprawled out next to the pool catching rays. Substitute outdoor park for balcony pool and we have a perfect match. That's what Id be doing anyway. Certainly wouldnt be "runing" in this weather... Smart Pups
