Going to the Dogs

Out for a ride yesterday

 

We're a sighthound family, too! Our whippet-mix, Artemis, in front and our ex-racer greyhound, Nyx, behind.
Greyhounds are such sweet, gentle dogs. It surprises me how rare they are.

 

One of my wife's friends has rescued Greyhounds for years. They do seem very gentle and companionable, but they sure do sleep a lot. Whenever I'm over there, it has to have a paw on me while it's sleeping.

 

14 years old!Im getting her nails trimmed for her bday.

 

Getting her nails done.

 

Does the side of my 4runner have muddy paw prints on it? Yes. Do I care? No.

 

Two monsters

 

Say hello to Stanley Pup. He knows 4Runner rides are going to result in good times!

 

I think Mercedes is blind in both eyes now.

 

Got Mercedes a dog bed.

 

Just great. My dog likes this so much, she wont sleep in bed with me.

 

Got a new rescue today. Dominic, an American Bully

 

Happy 3rd Birthday!

 

Happy and Lucky dog!

 

Photo is at least 35+years old. It explains why I married my wife now of 45 years. Samoyed is 'Yogi"our first dog. Dumb as he was smart!

 

Found a company in Montana that gives away free bandanas to Montana dog owners to help make the dogs more visible during hunting season. They also ship them to anyone for a small shipping fee ($5). I gave them a donation and ordered 4.

We sometimes hike in areas that are also hunting areas (D14, D11 and D19). Figured it can't hurt to have some extra visibility. I'll put a blank one on my backpack too.

Road trip today to the Georgia Bushcraft Festival.

 

Father time finally caught up to my wonderful hound a couple months ago @15-1/2 yrs, I dearly miss him.
But….we have a new addition to the family as of a month ago….a super alert 3 month(now) old rescued trouble maker, a German shepherd mix with Lab upholstery, Riley. I should have named her Pita.
Edit, I just weighed her, 13# to 22# in one month……uh oh…

 

My boy Dozer

 

Mercedes got her nails trimmed.3.5 pounds, 14 1/2 years old!

 

Repeat customer of mine reached out to me about getting his wife a Christmas present.

He wanted a sign of their dog as she's got some medical issues and is getting up there in age..



End result



She should be happy this Christmas once she opens it up.

 

Nice work!
