Great name, sort of rolls off the tongue.

Oh my, your tail grows in a sickle and you have black speckles, you can't join our country club. :rolleyes:

you don't really need a gun if you have one of these :D

I'm no longer shocked at how aggressive Benny is towards the uninvited. I could see him getting good blood flow. Thing is he's so smart he might figure out a quick way to kill instead of maim...

Owner: "There used to be a bed in there" :lol:

That's a better bed!

Squirrels and foxes are just stairmasters to Benny.

I just realized Benny's turning 8. We're age-mates now.

Figures...

I think this might be the cutest thing I've ever seen.

from the description, the pup was only 20 days old but wasnt removed from its mum, they also own the mum.

We had a Malamute once, they're very high energy dogs. They howl, not bark. A good dog, but I don't think I'd have another one.

I wouldn't make a very good Malamute owner, I don't think. They're the kind of dog that needs to know its person is indisputably in charge. I mean, all dogs need to know you are the leader, to feel safe, but Malamutes need that more than most. Add that to the very high energy levels, and it can be a bit of a disaster for all concerned, if they find themselves in the wrong household. I think they do best with a family, especially if there are a couple of youngsters about to help soak up that energy.

Gorgeous dogs though. The less rational part of me would adore one :P

We've been entertaining our neighbour's Viszla for a few hours a day recently.
The social distancing rules and regs are observed as the neighbour lets the dog go at the top of our drive and she makes her own arrangements from there.

Apologies for it being slightly out of focus, but it's what we hip young things know as a selfie.

Awwww, man, Viszlas are beautiful dogs. There are a couple of them round about the village. One of them has a real thing for Carrot - always comes over to say hi.

They always look to me like they could sit right between a Weimaraner and a Rhodesian Ridgeback in looks.

I have a particular fondness for the wirehaired vizsla - which you don't see many of, I think I have probably only ever met 2 or 3 my whole life.

Pete's cousin has always had them. They are really smart trainable dogs.

I don't think that I have set eyes on even one example of the breed.

I wonder, do you ever watch Countryfile?

Adam Henson has two of the wirehaired variety.

There's more about them and his other dogs here:

Great idea...

I have.

I have now.

I saw several Dogs until it showed a Hyena then the pictures stopped coming.

One for Benny!

A great pair! Like matched luggage.

Excellent. :thumb:

All rodents are food according to Benny.

Fair warning.

You will laugh. You will cry. You may choke as you try to stifle your responses so the neighbors don't SWAT you. I watched three in a row before I needed to pause because my tear and snot soaked tissues had to be replaced.

Ok, ready? Really ready?

That was the saddest most inhumane thing I have evar seen. Criminal.

Good doggies

Awwww. :biggrin::confused:

They only ate what they liked, right?

Want a puppy? A little expensive at $10 grand, but no food, no poop, no vet bills, the cat can't hurt it...

And it didn't throw up most a woodchuck carcass on the rug last night.

Well, I don't have a dog right now, but it seems to be the routine test, so I guess I'll go kick the cat and see if she catches her balance.

Ugh. Regrettable.

Benny's ready if Griff would get his kilt on.

RIP Bongo 2007-2020
 

On Thursday, August 6, 2020 I held my faithful friend and traveling companion as he lay on a table at my vet's office, suffering the aftereffects of yet another seizure, which have been occurring since Memorial Day this year, and watched as the doctor administered a drug cocktail and his light just...went out. No suffering, no pain. I miss him so much right now.

There should be two pics there but as usual, I can't remember how to format them.

Bongo is OK, you will be.

Sure, just a dog.

I'm so sorry. Dogs are better friends than we deserve.

My old Black Lab came from a nearby dogs' home in 1995 and died in 2001.
His bed was by my bookcase and when he wanted to get himself more comfortable he'd push against the plinth of the bookcase with a back foot.
The resultant scratches are still there as something of a memorial to him. I've no intention of polishing them out.
He was a lovely dog and, as Griff says, dogs are better friends than we deserve.

I'm very sorry to hear about your sad news Pamela. I know you miss him. :comfort:

So sorry Pamela - you did right by him.

Sorry for your loss Pamela.

That's tough, Pam.

But ya done good by him.

Bongo's a great dog name, btw.

Thanks. He came by the name from his habit of rapidly drumming his front legs in lieu of jumping up and down when excited.

And Bongo was his name-o...

It is so hard to make that call for a beloved pet. You did the right thing by your devoted friend. Love and hugs to you, Pamela.

Bruce, you are my hero!

It was hard finding pictures of Bongo that do not show him sleeping. He did that a LOT in his waning years.

No problem my friend, I'm guessing when he wasn't sleeping he wasn't sitting still for pictures. Hey, a squirrel! :haha:

Boxers gotta boxer. Quite right too. When he was awake, he was constantly in motion. So was the truck. Most of my pics of him were taken of him sleeping. And his greatest pleasure (aside from a good scratch) was chasing rabbits and squizzles. And little lizards.
