With a face like that you can get away with anything . An old friend of mine had a German Shepherd that would rob the neighborhood...baseball gloves and dog dishes were a favorite . He had a spot on the patio where he stashed his collection, folks always knew where to retrieve their belongings.

Here's a different dog, from a different time. A dog named Sue. We grew up together from my age of 15, to thirty years. She was my first hunting dog, and my, how we hunted -- and trapped! She became expert on ducks, geese, pheasants, quail, coyotes, coons, muskrats, rabbits, deer, skunks porcupines, chukars, grouse, ---
When her time was up, I was far from ready for it, and far from town and any help. I wrote a bleak and brutal poem about it, and might as well share it on this thread. A least I know that I'm among kindred spirits. I hope none of you have been in this spot, or ever will be.
Old Dog
I sit on the ground, cold and wet. She lies in my lap.
Tears fall to the ground warm and wet.
Eye to eye, hand to heart, we can't go back.
The gun at our side rests cold and dry. My curse, her release.
Oh how? Oh why?
A BARK! Not her's - and her pain is over.
Blood soaks in the ground, the last of a life.
We sit on the ground, Her and I.
Old Dog runs free.
I stay and cry.

As a living, feeling human being you have had a great day if you get tears in your eyes twice. Once from sadness and once from laughing so hard you tear up. I have had a marvelous day today. Thanks for sharing @jds holler. Mike
Yeah at least one of us is good looking
.He's a great dog. Smart as a whip, he's got ME trained pretty good, but has my back 24/7. In the morning he's the happiest one in the household to see me. He'd attack a grizzly to protect me (anyone else in the family do that, hell no). I hope if I make it to heaven, he can be there with me.
You have to love that . I have the same situation with my 13 year old Sadie Mae . She is with me 24/7 , and like your dog She has me trained . I feel safe with Her around,great guard dog and right on top of things . She has warned me of smoke ,licked me back to life when I fell down the stairs,the list goes on . She also likes messing with me,just looks back over Her shoulder with a big old grin . Man's best friend says it all.

Our 5 year old spoiled as shit and smart as a whip 110 LB German Shepherd Dog.
It's been a bit and I thought reviving this thread would be fun.
Anyhoo, my two hooligans had decided to shakedown a bag of pancake mix one day. I came home to find a trail of it going from the kitchen, down the hall and back again. In retrospect I should have taken a picture of the trail, but the pics clearly show the dogs innocent of any wrongdoing.
Grendel is looking at Bobo like, "You need to take the blame for this one." I've already seen what you are about to see, so it didn't take long to figure out.
When I came out of the bedroom after getting my camera this was exactly how they looked.
According to him, he only got half covered in pancake mix so she is more at fault.

That's funny. He has almost the same pose in both lower pics
His name is Hilbert, in honor of David Hilbert.
But usually we call him Zhuzha
His is real hunter. And he also likes to pose for a photo.
He is of course the most beautiful pointer in the world.
My buddy Bart, who was always ready to help/hinder my reloading.

The more i am around my dog , the less i like humans, sad but true , their love is unconditional .
I don't dislike humans more. I just understand that dogs are a LOT smarter than we were told when we were kids. I also understand there are a lot more humans that need training when it comes to dogs to come to fully appreciate dogs.
