Hanging at MILs in Harwich... the coolest pooch around, Rue dog. She's a chiweenie.

This is Peanut. Her mother lived in my backyard. When she had a litter of four, she abandoned the tiny, all white kitten on my patio. I tried to put the kitten back but Mama just moved the others and left the white baby. I bottle fed Peanut for 12 days before she even opened her eyes. I kept a heated fleece pad on my desk at work and took care of her until she was old enough to stay home. She is now 11 years old.
Love the shades.View attachment 335755

That first pic reminds me of this
I will never understand how anyone can abandon their pet like that. And the poor dog has no idea where his humans went. Glad he found a good home with you though!Just got Dog #3 about 3 months ago. Wasn't looking for a third dog, but this guy was abandoned at our vet and needed a home. Previous owners dropped him off for boarding and never picked him back up.
His name is Max ("Destroyer of toys") and he's an 8yr old Victorian Bulldog. Best dog I ever owned, and I haven't found a toy yet that he cannot destroy.. Has a little arthritis but nothing some Glucosamine can't handle..

I took Charlie to get groomed this morning.
Woman at PetSmart took him behind the counter, and I heard one of the groomers say, "Is that Charlie? Oh, my God! I love him!"
Melted my heart.
This is my meatball Emma. She's a little over 2 years old. Yellow Lab mix.
I got lucky. She's a great dog. Funny, smart, great temperament, loves everyone.She is beautiful.

also @The Hajj those looks like such good boys. Sounds like Buck wanted to work security for y’all . Watching over his domain at night
I thought this thread would be a great way to bring some happy memories into this trying time of uncertainty and fear, so I’m going to post a few photos of my dear “friends” who have passed away.
Roman, an outstanding black Lab who was a multiple field trial champion. He was a very gentle, friendly dog when not in the field.

Buck, a black Lab who was the first retriever I trained on my own. He didn’t like staying in the house, so he slept on the patio most nights.

Tank was a black Lab given to me as a puppy by Phil Robertson and W.E. Phillips. Some of you might recognize their names, as they later became quite famous on Duck Dynasty. I knew them long before that time and we are still very good friends. Tank was the smartest dog I’ve trained. He was amazing. Sadly, a tragic accident ended his young life at only 4 years old.

Max is exactly the same way. He views it as a personal challenge to try to destroy any toy you put in front of him. It’s like people with Sudoku/Crossword puzzles. He just sticks with it until he’s solved the riddle. Sometimes it takes him a week, but he will not give up until he’s figured out it’s weakness.My Bernese Mountain Dog, (Piper who I posted earlier) is the same way. She is a 95 pound wrecking machine.
She chews through rope toys in a few minutes.
My wife is a Vet who brought home toys from a conference.....gone
Piper has a ball that you put treats in, and you screw the halves together....instead of rolling it around to get the treats out, she has figured out how to unscrew it.
She had a plastic bottle (looks like a wine bottle) that the bottom unscrews...the small end had a rope toy coming out, the idea was she would have to figure out how to move the rope to get the treats out....nope, she just chewed through the rope instead.
And to make things more fun, she has caught two adult rabbits in our yard....she swallows them whole like an alligator eating.
I want to get her a job as a dog toy tester at a company developing dog toys.......
and she has such a sweet face...........

Weird thing here is that he only does it with dog toys. He’s never chewed anything in the house that didn’t belong to him. Kinda crazy...
My guy was abandoned too. Left in an apartment when the people moved. He was there a week before the neighbors called the cops and he ended up at animal rescue where my (retired) husband was working part-time. Westy noticed that he never soiled his pen overnight and brought him home “for the weekend” to get him out of the kennel. That was 6 years ago.I will never understand how anyone can abandon their pet like that. And the poor dog has no idea where his humans went. Glad he found a good home with you though!
Now I'm going to go hug Daisy.

he’s never had an accident in the house. Never snatched food that didn’t belong to him. If the couch isn’t covered, he stands next to it and looks at you indicating he wants to get up. His only naughtiness is he will bolt if you leave the gate open.
Here was his first day home .View attachment 336033
