Mans Best Friend

This was back at Christmas,one of the boys got Coco(80# Dobe)a Carhartt hoody..... she loved it and didn't want to take it off.

Didn't have the heart to tell her how....uhh,tight it was. It got returned for a larger size. We were rolling in the floor laughing.

I lost my Roxy (a boxer) in Sept '18, still miss her a lot, she would come check on me when I was in the gun cave for too long. She took a few naps in there while I was piddling with something. I haven't gotten to the point of getting another dog, I think about it some, but still not there yet. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. It's a bumpy road to travel for sure.
You’ll get another one it just takes time about 25 years ago I had a female Dane named Roxy
 
These "best friends" of ours, seem to latch onto a little piece of our soul. You could say that they steal it, but we gladly give it up to them. They share it, and even grow it when they are here with us. And when they leave, they take it with them; and we have to learn to live without it, and them. For quite awhile it hurts about like losing an arm or a leg, and maybe that piece of soul never comes back.

I think I might have another little piece of soul to give up to another friend, but that last piece I lost still hasn't healed over yet.

The only thing better than a good dog is a good wife.:) and maybe a reliable rifle that shoots straight. :)

PS: Had four in my life time - all great companions. Would love to have a pet ground hog but wifey over ruled me.:(
4 wives? LOL
 
Please be careful not my dog and I am still fearful for it

Trust me we are watching closely. We live on the wakulla river in the middle of the st marks national wildlife refuge. That is the back yard that is relatively safe in colder weather. During the summer we walk the.dogs away from the water or on leash. Wonderful place to live but snakes and gators are just a part of life.

Live the first 39 years of my life in Florida I know what you speak of glad to hear you take precautions
 
My good buddy Russ of 13 1/2 years. He can’t hear anymore but his nose still works on a rabbit although not as good as it used to. I am just happy to still have him around he’s actually not doing too bad for his age. The longest I have ever had a Beagle.2B5BFC27-E43C-4D72-94C0-3343177D3925.jpegupdate: had him on a big old bunny last night 3-17-20 got about 10 barks out of him but he never stopped wagging his tail the whole time! I hate to have to add this edit to my post but I friend Russ passed away this past Friday, July 3. He was a trooper right up to the very end and passed away peacefully. He was two months shy of turning 14. He was very much loved and cherished and will be missed beyond words that I could put down here. I am very blessed to have had such a wonderful dog and friend as him.

These are my two 30lb spoiled rotten ratties. Lovey as the day is long but a prey drive like an old bird dog and they are merciless and fearless killers.

Beautiful dogs!! That one on the left is particularly striking. I pretty much love all dogs, but I’m a real sucker for Rat Terriers. I’ve had two over the years. If they were bigger dogs, nothing would be safe. They are stone cold killers......lol
