SHOW US YOUR PETS!!!

Good Job, OC.

Good on you, OC.

Back to Steve's comment on my previous post, the 2 legged animals are the worst. Some of them. Seems like the norm now versus exception. Back when I was a kid, not so much.

My faith in humanity is waning. Fact as you told it provides me some hope. Commendable!
I am not changing now no matter how narcissistic others become.

Take care.

Gino, your Dobie buddy is a handsome boy.

Thank Q

Jerry

That’s in my game room in basement
Keep the one couch covered in blankets and washed regularly
He knows not to go on the other one in that room or my upstairs living room couches
Plus he’s mostly an inside dog
I only have a 1/2 acre fenced yard in the burbs
That dogs cleaner than most people lmao

Gino,
I f you read my comments, this comment is in no way directed toward you. I was articulating my relationship with my dogs based on a previous post with Steve.

I said"

Not my fur babies, children, family. They don't get on my bed, couch, don't eat human food. Boundaries both ways. Don't look down or fault others for how they do it.

You just happen to have posted a picture with your pup on the couch, just prior. Totally unrelated my friend. Was getting deep in my relationship with my pups and how I do it.

That's all

Taje care, Jerry.

No worries brother
Just was giving my thoughts
I don’t get upset over things that aren’t important
I meant nothing by my response
We’re good my friend

[zp4ja]

Absolutely Gino. All good Brother. Glad to see you around my friend. Hope to catch up with you soon.

My two and the daily dominance test. The time to realization gets shorter and shorter. He pounded her with sheer strength in the beginning. She grew tired of that. She always wins. Heart versus size, and he definitely has heart and strength.

Picture 4. The doghouse is the overpass, railroad track, line in the sand. Cross at your own risk and/ or peril. Like human interaction. Interesting to observe. Game off, game on.

Jerry, both look like they are having a great time. I will never understand the dominance issues with dogs. Those macho head games are played by my male dogs. The true alpha, if it’s a female, will always dominate in one way or another. It’s interesting watching it play out.

[zp4ja]

Hey Mark. Well said. Very interesting and entertaining to watch.
Elsa is Alpha at 75# to his 150#.

I was gone for 5 nights. Interesting to see the reactions upon my return. No separation anxiety, they love their caretaker in my absence. But there is some (a lot for me) "I missed you" in there somewhere, for all involved parties.

Might frame the last posted picture of Elsa. Awe inspiring. She is sporting some pretty impressive teeth and attitude. Looks possessed and determined to remind Bear of the hierarchy.

Jerry

Love those pictures Jerry. That first one of Bear could be a framed picture. Impressive bite that Elsa has. Through the years I have noticed that we have had dogs with a lot stronger bite strength than the others. Sage, our Rottweiler and cattle dog mix had an impressive bite strength that could sever bones in one bite. If she got choked and we had to open her mouth to dig something out, I worried every time that she could bit off my hand if she wanted, she never did thankfully.
Nice photos all Jerry, you are truly blessed.

[zp4ja]

I am blessed Brother. Thank you Mark. I tell myself that everyday. I belong to them. Just grateful that they allow me to be part of their lives.

The Bear face photo will get framed as well if I do Elsa's and I likely will.
If you expand the Elsa fang photo, look at the back right upper molar. That's Bear's hair. LOL.

These companions are the most treasured thing in my life. I hope they feel the same way.

Hope you , yours and the pack are well.

Take care, Jerry

Big Dog is enjoying the sunshine today. He looks about like the twin to Jerry’s Elsa. Probably bigger though since he’s male. Weighed 135 pounds last time he was at the vet, and not an ounce of fat. Around my wife and family he’s just a big ol’ lover - loves attention. He’s going on 12 years old, which is elderly for a dog his size but he still “patrols” the pasture all night. Not sure he could still run down a coyote, but I’m sure he’d try! They don’t want none of him!

Good looking friend there Ken.
Here is Mr. Griffin wanting me to get down in the floor with him. He doesn't understand that
for some of us that's not so easy these days.
