Greg, what a cutie! I have a couple of rescue Westies. One of which is my best buddy. He spent every morning at my bedroom door waiting for me, while I was in Phoenix last month.

funny they are so close in looks and coloring to mine!!!The ugly buddies. The old one is one of the best all around family dogs I've ever had, besides an American bulldog I had years ago. The little one is getting there...
Yeah in a sucker for the brindle. These 2 are always together!

Hey! A Dobey!! I've raised 4 in my life. One of my all time favorites.
He's a Sheltie and he has the genetic defect that makes him large. Both his parents are small. He is afraid of thunder, gunshots, and any other loud noises. If someone were to break into the house when we were not home, he would slow them down by wanting to be petted. He is an attention whore. He helps out in the kitchen by keeping the floor clean. He makes sure that the food in the cat's dish never goes stale.

My wife says that I've got a theory for everything, and here's one of em.
A good dog will worm their way into our heart, and steal a little part of our soul, our personality, and our love. They become an important part of our lives; a part we wouldn't wish to lose any more than we would a limb, our eyes, or another family member.
When they do leave us - all too soon - it is a terrible loss, one of the worst that we might endure, and it takes us awhile to recover. We learn to live without that part of ourselves, and usually go on to give another part to the next faithful pooch that chooses us.
Then -- someday when we finally cross over to the other side, God makes us whole again, and our faithful old friends return to us in good health, with clear eyes and wagging tails.
This might sound kinda corny to some folks, but I'll bet not to the ones who love a dog. jd

I love dogs, all dogs. But there is nothing quite like the intelligence, endurance and affection of a Golden Retriever. A greater companion would be hard to find.

Hillary ain't in jail, so leave me to hell alone!
I've heard some Labs are like that too.
My dogs and I would've missed some of the best times of our lives without the gunfire.

I started on grouse in western Pa. Walked them all up in crab apples. Woodcock too.
Nice Browning BSS? I have a 20. Not that nice though. And of course, beautiful partner!

Thanks but it's not a BSS.....it's an Ithaca 200E, 20 ga. Anymore the birds just aren't here. A good day is if you get 8 - 10 flushes and kill 1 or 2 between 2 guys. It's tough hunting, but that's what separates the men from the boys.......

Wow, close though! I always wanted a Ithaca. Now I live there...
People always look at you funny when you say American bulldog. I tell them, imagine an over grown pitbull on steroids, that's what the look like. Solid is an understatement. The one pictured riding shotgun in my truck was 110lbs and not an ounce of fat
