Dog pics
Wasn't there a thread of just dog pics here at one time??
Anyway, these are the dogs of my last victim. His food and beer are alllll gone.
I left a little bit of dog food for the pooches though. :biggrin:
What? No one likes dogs anymore!? WTF!!
More dogs than you can shake a stick at.
Or find in a Korean kitchen. :p
This is Gunner. She is 13! She had cancer in 2002 but we just lopped her toe off and she's still going strong.
Ahh. Thanks.
That's a lotta dogs.
Gunner; great name for any animal.
Good looking hound slangster. I'll try to get Merlin to stay still long enough for photography. related critter note: one of our hens just hatched out 5 chicks, really cute. Now I'm gonna have to reduce the flock before winter... who needs a few tough old hens?
I do but Ft Slang is 4 blocks into the boro. Otherwise, I'd have a coop and a bunch of real chickens. They taste soooooo much better than Frank's

Wow, I like that dog! Labs are awesome. Give her a pat for me Tweek.
AHHHHH !!!! What is this one eyed flashey thing ???
For some unnamable reason, I find those foreshortened image dog pics to be strangely disturbing.
But Wolf, puppies are best when they're in your face. :D
CUTE CUTE CUTE ALL OF IT CUTE!!!!!!! :thumpsup: :thumpsup: :thumpsup:
LSMFT, he/she is the definition of alert. :)
Very cool dogs hangin' out here.
Jack looks a little mad.
Here's another pic of from the same group of shots.
That was Jack's 1st day on job. Dotty is the one upset, she's been around for 9 years.
Meet Ofelia.
Wooooow. Hello Ofelia.
Looks fiercesome but from experience, Rottys soften up after the boss introduces you. Generally pretty protective but once they like you, love to play rough and are truly great dogs.
Great looking dog ya got there Leus! Thanks for the pic!
She is the most playful dog I've ever had. I'm positive that if a burglar enters the house, she is going to drool all over him; luckily, she looks fierce, and her barking is something to hear :)
I have a friend who has a rottie. His name is Rocko Wack (Real name of police chief of Ambler, PA).
Rocko does not know he isn't a lap dog.
I didn't know this prior to the first time he bounded towards me, hurled himself into my lap and started licking me in the face.
He's cool.
Well, Ofelia does that too. She is relatively small for a rottie; however, having 90 pounds in my lap can be tedious :D
Rocko goes well over 100 lbs. He's a big boy.
This is Gunner. She is 13! She had cancer in 2002 but we just lopped her toe off and she's still going strong.
um, did lopping her toe off have anything to do with the illness? or are you just a strict disciplinarian?

A real disciplinarian would have taken more than a toe. :3eye:
here are my flea bitten furballs. the boxer pup is brooklyn. she is 4/5 months old. the rottie/shepherd mix is lexi. she is 8 1/2. don't tell her that, though she still thinks she is lap dog puppy.
this one isn't quite as hairy, but he is an animal just the same. Cameron is 3. my wife, teresa, is older than 3.
Nice dogs ya got there Lookout. I like Brooklyn. Thanks for posting them.
**NEXT!!!**
hmmm, yeah i'm going to be taking that one out. i originally just meant to post my kid but snagged the wrong pic so i just added her name in there.
it's unlikely but if someone she knows stumbles across this, she wouldn't be happy that i put her online at all.
Ok Slang, you want dogs.
This is Asia.
And last but not least, Tanner.
Wow, they're all great Bruce. Thanks.
You didn't tell Bravo I was making fun of him, did you?
Try to pet him and find out. :p
BTW, Tanner, Bear, & Nikki were all rescued.
Meet Suzie, she's 12 and just about the sweetest dog I've ever had...but she does not like cats, squirrels or turkeys tresspassing on her territory!
Did she play the dog in The Omen?
(nice looking beast!)
Tayner is a 1 yr old Boxer/Lab that her owner couldn't keep. My Buddy was "test driving" her today because he lost his dog recently. I'm pretty sure she's a keeper. :joylove:
That really sucks that her original owner couldn't keep her. Glad your friend took her though.
She's a nice looking tan bitch with a pink bandana. :)
The picture quality is nice too. Thanks Bruce.

Thank you. :blush: I cropped it from this one.
Hot college bitches for The Slang (maybe. I'm not so good at telling the sex of animals.)

Incidentally, I got sap all over my ass taking those photos. Sitting against a tree is totally not all it's cracked up to be. Every year ("University Day") people run around campus putting mulch around them all just to make it suck even more.
Aren't they strong enough to pull you down the sidewalk as you ride the skateboard?
Little is good. As UT says....AA size poops. :thumpsup:
They're cute. Thanks for adding them, Skunks
From the Washington Post, a pooch in Key West, getting ready for storms. :)
Tayner's owner looks like she ought to be saying, "Don't be gay, Sparky! Don't be gay!!"
clodfobble-:lol:
Bruce--I saw that dog when I went to Key West in Feb--he always wears those sunglasses. There are a lot of cute animals in Key West... :angel:
Hope he has some type of seatbelt on back there*
* - this is sarcasm
BTW, have you ever seen a picture of LJ's dog? ;)
A friend of mine is a Dog Catcher. OK, Animal Control Officer. :rolleyes: Anyway she picked up this MinPin bitch that was very pregnant, so she brought it home, of course.
4 puppies: the black one came first, then the light blond runt. The red/brown was third and the bruiser, after some delay, came last. Wonder Who's their Daddy?? :)
The grey and white kitten is another street urchin that came home because there were no nursing cats at the shelter. Momdog feeds it and licks it's butt. ;)
Wonder what color(s) Pop is?
Awwww, those are the cutest babies ever. That kitty is adorable. Hopefully they will find some good homes.
Great looking pups Bruce, I really like the runt. Wish I had room for another dog but mine takes up more than her share as it is.
Damn I want all of those puppies
Wow. I totally wish I could have a dog. Beautiful puppies.
Idol:
Pumpkin:
Rescued Greyhounds, Windhund? :confused:
They are former racing dogs, yes. Pumpkin was also a brood mama - she had three litters of puppies and then her owners gave her to us. She's a sweetie, but we were told she was a bit hard on the young 'uns when they got too rambunctious :)
Pumpkin--the Lois Wilkerson of Dogdom!

Too bad you don't meet the minimum armament requirement to move to Bradford County. NEPA is dog friendly.
Beautiful children! Cool house too. :)
What kind of dog is Baloo? that face is ADORABLE :)

I think I exceeded it.
And I LOVE Bradford County.
Just a picture I came across on the net somewhere. Anybody know if this is a wolf, a dog or a cross breed?
Don't know but it's one bloody awesome photo.
Looks like a hybrid.
Now you know what Red Riding Hood, the 3 pigs and Peter felt like. :eek2:

He's a Newfoundland, and is now about 9 months old. He weighs 105 lbs. already! :luv:

Awww, I've always liked Newfies! He has an absolutely adorable face :) I'll have to take some pictures of our family of puppies and share...we have 3 Yorkies, a schnauzer, and a Shitzu/Cocker mix.
And the cat - who thinks he's a dog.
Just a picture I came across on the net somewhere. Anybody know if this is a wolf, a dog or a cross breed?
It could be a Malamute/wolf hybrid. They are not wolves, but do have some of the same physical characteristics. One of our dogs is a Malamute, and she is a big handful. I can't imagine ever needing or wanting a bigger challenge!
Here is a malamute, and next is a wolf hybrid.
Baloo's adorable, I love the curly hair around the head and the webbed feet. I saw them pulling carts in Newfoundland. I had a Neufie/Border Collie cross that was the sweetest dog. At 165 lbs he'd better be, because when a dog that size gets rambunctious, they'll knock you head over bandbox. :D

Yeah, they can pack quite a wallop! Baloo learned early that we don't jump on people in our house. As you said, though, they are very sweet and just want to please. Newfies remind me of Golden Retrievers, without the super-hyper mode.
Baloo's mom was large for a female and weighed in at 155 lbs., so we think our boy will be big, to say the least. His dad was a dry-mouth and so far, so good on the drool. Not to say there isn't any, but if you just rub it in, it doesn't show. :yelsick: (All the smiley choices are cool!)
Just a funny picture of a dog that I found on the net somewhere. I once had a dog that would scoot across the floor like this to itch his butt.
It's nice to see that this thread hasn't died. The previous dog pic is really funny.
Dogs are always cool, unless you're married to one. ;)
Border collies are soooo much fun. :)
I have a friend who has a Border Collie. One of the smartest, most energetic and neurotic breed of dogs EVER. She's a sweetie though. She's very protective of the famliy too. Good thing she considers me family as well :D
Someone sent me this. From web I'm sure. But cute none the less.
Dogs can be very helpful to the impaired. :biggrinje
Bruce, that pic reminds me of an old army joke, don't remember exactly how it goes but something about the perfect camp follower has a flat head and no teeth... :D
Here are some more pics of Baloo back from the groomer and looking handsome. (For about 10 seconds!) :)
He's beautiful and my compliments on your photography. Black critters are tough to shoot without looking like a blob. :thumbsup:
Back in August I went with friends to a psychic faire in York. We stayed overnight at the home of a FOAF. In addition to having an enjoyable time (you never get over slumber parties) I got to spend time with a boxer of delightful disposition named "Princess Sally."
Princess Sally is a very lucky boxer indeed, to have the mommy and daddy she does. She has a congenital malformation of her right forepaw that required a several surgeries to correct to the point where she was able to walk. It's not a perfect job, but when she walks or stands it almost looks like she's in heels.
Were it not for her owners, she would likely have been put down by the breeder.
He's beautiful and my compliments on your photography. Black critters are tough to shoot without looking like a blob. :thumbsup:
Thanks, Bruce! I wish I could take all the credit for the photography, but I owe a great debt to Adobe Photoshop and the Auto Levels function. I'm a graphic designer and use that program daily - I don't know how we worked without it.

She's adorable - nice wink. Good for her parents for taking her in! Our oldest dog, Charlie, was horribly abused when we found him. Someone actually let his collar grow into his neck, his ear was shredded and he had obviously never been into a house before (also, he wasn't neutered at 4 years of age). :mad: The bad treatment he suffered has affected his lifelong mental health, for sure. We've had him for about seven years, and he's Mr. Coach Potato now.
Charlie's featured in the middle of this photo - he's the big German Shepherd-like creature!
That looks like nice and lazy Sunday afternoon. If only my critters would stay still long enough for a pic like that. :thumbsup:
This is a cute shot of the small beast that plauges me morning and night. But especially night.
It was pointed out to me that the last picture I posted just before this one is not as cute as Bear really is. So, here is a much better picture of
Mr. Tedd E. Bear Ruxpin Snicklefritz Herndon. :D
ooooo...I like that first pic. Cute pooch you have there Nightsong.
I love that one sock he's got on. With it, he matches the rest of the decor. :D
I think Mr. Tedd E. Bear Ruxpin Snicklefritz Herndon is cuter in the first picture, looks like he's one happy dog! I like the one sock he has too.
Do you have to use his full sir name when you call him in from outside.....or will he answer to Bear? ;)
You know he's a good dog because he's not paying any attention to that half-eaten cereal bowl in the background.
Expensive electronics on unfinished plywood shelving... I celebrate your lifestyle Nightsong... I aspire to it really!
I like the 'couch as storage bin' idea. I currently just use my bedroom floor.
u got a topic on cats too?
Mr. Tedd E. Bear Ruxpin Snicklefritz Herndon. :D
My Mom has a dog named Snicklefritz (yes, JUST Snicklefritz!) :D He's a Pekinese, so it totally fits. Where did you come up with the name? I only know Mom wanted to have a dog with this name since she was a little girl. Now that she's a little old lady, she finally has her Snicklefritz.
Bear is one cute guy, for sure! He reminds me of a fox. I agree with UT - that cereal bowl wouldn't last a minute in my house. We have to zealously guard all food within reach of a dog's nose. Charlie once ate an entire homemade apple pie right off the stove. His questionable past will not allow him to pass up an easy meal. :p
Some dogs do silly things without even knowing it's silly... :p

I am lucky if he acknowledges the call, much less comes in. He will sit and look cute till you hit the bottom step then he suddenly deceides to come in. :blush:
Red Sonia mentioned that bear looked like a fox. The shot here shows his father in the background. Dad's a sable or fox-style pom. Mom<who I dont have a good shot of handy> Is almost all black except for her one sock just like bear.
Here are our Doggies...
From left to Right..
Peanut (Peenie), Mitzy, Bailey, Missy, and Heidie.
Yorkie, Yorkie, Shitzu/Cocker mix, Toy Yorkie, Schnauzer
And well, there's a cat running around who will swear he's a dog...especially at dinner time.
Did the IRS ever question all those deductions, Dag? :)
haahahaha Cool pic Dag! Finally i see someone here with a resambling name!! The Yorkies that is!
And if they get hungry. :eek:
This picture and Bruce's picture above would be excellent for advertizing doggie breath mints! :greenface
Caption for the pic above " AHHHHHHH I'm about to be a snack !!!!!!!"
Shih Tzu-Cocker mix....shihtcock....like a cock-a-poo, but more intense
I have one of those.... we call him a cock a shit.....
This is him...he's so cute, but yet so stupid....he must have taken the short bus to obedience school
This might have been posted back somewhere, but WTF! It's cute
one two three four five
I cant remember this dog's name but he was funny as hell through the trip.
Prepared to remain intoxicated through the rest of the year
Say what?? You better knock that shit off and get out there and support the war effort, Mister. :eyebrow:
Look into my eyes.
You are getting sleepy.
You have the urge to operate a can opener.
Nice bitch ya got there Bruce. First it's the food, then the phone.....then your car never seems to have gas when you get into it.

My crazy pooch back home tryin to bury her bone in the snow on our back porch..
Bacon, bacon, bacon....IT'S BACON!!!!
Nice looking mutt, Bullitt. What breed is she?
I she's an 8 year old Alaskan Eskimo Spitz w/ a tad of Chow thrown in there. Pretty much a mini sled dog, thats as big as she's gonna get. She was a pretty good find for having gotten her for free out of a cardboard box in front of a Sam's club when she was just a puppy.
Looks like her rope is frozen to the porch. Was that her Christmas treat.....strike that....ONE of her Christmas treats? :hafucking
har har, no we're not cruel to our dog bruce, we don't like to take after you ;) . Its a braided wire rope so hush you, she loves bounding through the snow stickin her nose in it and gettin it all over her face.
Yeah, she looks like a snow lover. :) Had one that would try to catch snow being shoveled, in his mouth.
I meant the bacon being a Christmas treat.
Oh, I don't know NBN, your dog looks more like Wolfman Jack to me.
This is an interim name, but look at the color on this guy
Anybody else think he looks a little bit like Jim Morrison?
This is Tuffy the pimpdaddy doggie. His ho’s name is Spjut.
Tuffy pimps out Spjut to Boeing as an advanced material technology specialist so Spjut can supply the best canned food and chew toys a pimp could want. The envy of the kennel.
Like most pimps, Tuffy takes Spjut to work everyday ‘cause those lazy hos can’t be trusted. Since Spjut has a visual field of only 2 degrees, can see only a small area directly in front, Tuffy applied some muscle to Boeing. They responded with a variety of high-tech, "assistive" equipment, to accommodate his visual limitations. Among his work tools are two flat-screen monitors, one of which magnifies whatever is on the screen up to 25 times, a laptop program that responds to voice commands, a screen reader and enlarger, and a separate voice device to control the screen reader and enlarger. Good Ho.
At least Spjut appears to be doing some kind of actual work, instead of just browsing the web all day. He may be more productive than 90% of the workforce.
of all the $$ spent on all of that equipment, they couldn't find another $30 to buy a second monitor stand??

Yeah, but the picture was posed. Tuffy usually sleeps under the desk, resting up for
nightly dog-bauchery. ;)

And why, pray tell, have I never been invited???
Because you pray & tell. ;)
This is a cool looking dog the Russians breed for childrens therapy dogs. Boy, nothing will take a sick kids mind off his troubles like a dog ride. :biggrinba
What's the breed name, Bruce? I love that mottled pattern in its fur.
I love the fact that the dog is wearing a bear costume, for the further amusement and traumitization of the child.
I believe that is a Komondor, they are also used in rescue and guard dog applications.
They, like pit bulls, can be mean mothers or nice as pie a la mode (I'm hungry!)
Brian
Komondok (plural of Komondor) is a thickly coated dog, usually white from Hungary. The coat is grown long and twisted into ropes ... similar to that of a Puli.
They look like large, walking dustmops.
Yeah, I know this is the dog pics thread but I didnt want to start a new thread. Check out this honker.
Yummy! I'll be over in a bit. Chestnut stuffing and cranberries! yah!!! :drool:

It's like the Rastafarian version of an English Sheep Dog. Maybe it's just me, but these don't look much like the dog in Bruce's picture. :confused:
Precisely my point. I know my dogs, and the ridin' dog is not a Komondor.
I would guess that the dog is a mutt of some kind. The face bears certain resemblance to an Irish Wolfhound, but that's as good as I get. I know AKC breeds, not Russian ones.
OK Wolf, OK. It's not a Komondor. I was mistaken. Write down the date and time and save for posterity. Sheeeeeesh! ;)
Puppy, an Artic Wolf Hybrid puppy. Don't know what it's hybrided with. :)
Mmmmm, tastes like....kitten! :yum:
Remember Bravo? One year old and 116 pounds. :)

Not good considering I start travelling in january.
January....that's winter. Hell, get a team of dogs. Mush! :D

He kinda has the same structure as my brothers dog Yopon.

That's a handsome looking dog, FD. Interesting name too, is there a story behind that?
That's a handsome looking dog, FD. Interesting name too, is there a story behind that?
I think my brother was visiting our parents in Pensacola and we were clearing some brush from part of their woods when my brother asked what kind of bushes these were we replied that they were yopon holly bushes (also spelled yaupon) .. he thought we were making it up...then on the trip back to Denver, they stopped at a cousins and picked up the dog...next thing you know it was named Yopon.
He really is a great dog....one of his fun tricks is that if either of my brothers boys leave the front door open, you just have to tell Yopon to go close it ... and he will....of course he puts his weight behind the push to close the door so all the windows in the house rattle....but the door is closed.
Our schnauzer Heidi has been having some health issues for the past few months. She's been having lots of 'little' accidents in the house, and when we let her out, she squats for what seems like hours, but doesn't 'do' anything. She's been to the vet at least once a month for the past 6 months, and has been on antibiotics for what seems like just as long. She's had moments of being disoriented, and is getting lost when she's outside at night, because she can barely see.
This past week she fell over, and couldn't get up. She was a little unsteady when she was able to try and walk, and really wasn't her pleasant little doggy self. We scheduled an appointment at the vet for last week, who referred Heidi to a specialist for a CAT scan and Ultrasound. The vet said he was fairly certain from her blood tests that she had a tumor of some sort, but wanted to have the specialist look at her just to be sure.
Mom just got home from the Vet not too long ago. The results of the CAT scan weren't good. Heidi has bladder cancer, and it's apparently spread all through her. The Vet said they could operate, but it wouldn't give her more than a few months longer, and any medicine they gave her would make her very ill. Mom's decided that the best thing to do for her is to put her to sleep.
This weekend was the last time I got to see her. The vet suggested we do this sooner rather than later, because she's already starting to suffer. Mom's on the way to the Vet now, and is making sure Heidi's getting her last bunch of french fries and a chicken nugget or two..(Her favorite people foods).
What makes this harder still, is today is the 7th anniversary of my Grandfather's death, and he and Heidi were fast friends. (More than likely because he always had a snausage or two for her). I'm trying to convince myself that he decided he wanted some company, and if given the chance, picked her.

I'm gonna miss you puppers. I remember the night Mom brought you home, when you were so tiny and all paws and ears. Your enthusiasm for anything even remotely fun. All the goofy little 'dog' games you got us to play with you, your little green stuffed elephant, the way you figured out on your own to ring the sleigh bells when you wanted out - and how we had to take them away from you because you'd ring them for attention, the way you would knock your head against the cupboard when you wanted a boney, and your knack for eating an entire frosty paws without spilling a drop on the carpet.
You've been a huge part of our lives for the past 13 years. I hope Doggy heaven will be everything you want it to be. Lots of chewey toys, lots of cats to play with, and of course, someone to pet you constantly...because most of all, that's what made your day.
Dagney I am really sorry to hear that.
I am also proud of you and your mother that you have the courage ane the compassion to set your puppy free rather than keep her here when she is hurting so badly.
I always offer this to my canine friends on their passing,
" May you see with eyes of light in the ever-dark. May your hunt be swift and wild. May you run with the pack eternal, nose always to the wind."
My deep sympathies.
Mike
My condolences, Dagney.
Really got me thinking about my dog, she's getting up there in the years too. Today when she came to greet me at the door when I came home from work she slipped on the wet kitchen floor, all four feet sprawled out and couldn't get up by herself. She's about the same age as Heidi and I'm not looking forward to what you're going through right now.
My heart goes out to you.
Dag, I'm so very sorry to hear about this. Your remembrances of her are a fine memorial. She lives on in your love. Gentle blessings to her, and to all who loved her, human and fur-bearers.
That is very sad and touching, Dagney. I dread the day when my Baron gets to that point (he will be 11 years old in March). I know it must happen some day, but I don't know if I can be a stoic as you are when the time comes. He has been my best friend for all of those years.
I love Nightsong's prayer. I hope it helps to give you peace (and Heidi as well).
May God bless her.
Tim
Might be an old one, but. The storm.
Thanks Zip, that's a keeper. :biggrin:
Some dogs just love the snow.
Thanks Bruce , it seemed the right thing to say
Now that is one HAPPY FUCKING DOG !!!!!
Just TRY and keep up with him !!!!!!!
I just saw this turn of the thread, Dagney. My wife and I often worry about how we'll bear it when our Bridgid's time comes. We've had her only a couple of years, but she already runs the house...and our hearts.
I'm sorry this holiday season has been so trying for your family. I sympathize more than you can imagine.
no, he DOESN'T look like a rat. :mad2:
You're right, those a definitely BAT ears. :biggrin:
no, he DOESN'T look like a rat. :mad2:
No...um...he doesn't have a pink nose either. :)
Ah! The little-known black-nosed Chihuarat!
"I'll take 'weird animals' for $1000, Alex."
"The answer is, what do you get when you cross a small dog with a rat."
"What is the little-known black-nosed Chihuarat?"
:rar: you people are evil
The real question is "Is he yappy?" I don't mind small dogs if they're not constantly trying to defend the homestead from everybody and everything.
He is PERFECT. He is quiet, loving, he doesn't beg, he's completely housebroken, etc..
He sleeps under the covers with me and will burrow under there on command "Happy, under covers!" and there he goes... He can "sit" "speak" "give me your paw" "down" he'll go in his crate on command, he'll jump on and off of the bed on command, he'll get his "piggy" (stuffed animal) on command, he'll drop food out of his mouth if I hold my hand under it...He went to the vet to get his heartworm test- they stick a needle in the vein and draw blood- he stood up all proud like a big boy, didn't flinch, didn't try to get away...He is PERFECT.
(probably because when I got him I was 19, stuck in a bad marriage in south texas where I knew noone, unemployed, and I didn't have anything better to do than read dog books and train the dog, and noone better to love than the dog.) It really paid off, though. One thing I don't like about him is that he shakes when he's nervous and it distracts me and if I tell him to stop, he shakes more, but other than that, no complaints.
Can Mr. Happy do any other tricks?
Actually, yes. I forgot to mention that he gives kisses on command.
Here's my baby :)
Suddenly, I have a craving for a burrito. Just tell me that you don't carry him around in your purse with his little head sticking out. :)
NO, I don't. I treat him like a big dog, I don't carry him around and dress him like a baby. He thinks he's a big boy. He'll even walk through snow to go out and pee.
He grew up with a rottweiler and he was the dominant dog, but he knows I'M the top dog. If I want to trim his nails, he sits still and he never even thinks about biting me- I taught him that when he was a puppy "you DON'T bit your MAMA!!!" He figured that out really quick. He wants to please me, so all I have to do is look at him wrong and he gets the message.
DO NOT judge all chihuahuas by this one! Most of them really are yappy little brats, but it's about how their owners treat them, how they are raised, and whether or not they are allowed to act like little brats or not. For some reason, most people treat chis like spoiled infants, and the dogs are awful.
He's adorable, Stacy! I never really liked Chihuahuas until my boyfriend got one. We found her running around on a busy street--I think she's mostly Chihuahua, but might have something else in her too. Anyway, she's the coolest little dog. She loves to cuddle up in your lap, and isn't yappy at all (although she does whine a bit when we leave the house, but I think that's separation anxiety...). A co-worker at my old job had two Chihuahuas who were terrors--they were so annoying. I think a lot of it has to do with how they're raised. You're right, people baby them too much.
Dogs seem to perk up in the snow. :)
Alta certainly perks up with the coming of snow..
Beautiful Bullitt, is he/she a Sam?
This guy would rather go out and play too. :biggrin:
Beautiful Bullitt, is he/she a Sam?
I'm probably just tired.. but could you uh.. rephrase the question? haha
Ah, no she isn't. Alta is just a good 'ol Alaskan Eskimo-Spitz if I remember correctly. The picture makes her look alot bigger than she really is, Alta's probably a foot and a half tall at best.
Hey, it's been a while since I've been here but nice to see this thread is still going strong. Lot's of nice looking dogs here....even your rat looks cute stacey...
Oh, it's a dog...sorry. :blush:
