Going to the Dogs

Well he was down and out in his house. Paws were cold. Wouldn’t even open his eyes or pick his head up. Today he was up and around wagging his tail and ears alert. Much better....

 

Good to hear.

 

RIP Teddy..... had a long life and didn’t suffer....I’m relocating my hunting tactics to Northern Loudoun county. My chances of getting a wall hanger there is much better. There’s a guy riding his sidexside around my treestand at my current location.......

 

I feel for you @SR5 Limited. Losing a animal/friend is very difficult.
It took us a few years after the passing of our golden retriever to get Rex. I took him out to the family cabin today to take the boat cover off & get the house ready for winter.
He really wanted to go in the lake but it was only 40° outside & he was in my truck not the T4R. He loves the cabin, it is truly his favorite place. I want to see him on the ice this winter!
The first is today.

I am already sick of winter! It is just 5 months of cold & gray. I am an aquaholic (I love the water)!
Edit: As you can tell. I have a dock repair to do when the water is lowered! Always something...

 

I got Mercedes a day after FiFi died...I couldn’t take not having a dog. Especially lil Yorkies. Just winterized my boat. Only thing I had to do was fogg it, stabil, good to go. I think Johnson made some of the most reliable outboards....

 

FiFi weighed 2.8 pounds full grown. But had a genetic trait causing seizures. Which the medicine controlled she lived for nine years....

 

Today is our protector & family dogs 3rd birthday. He is very needy but it is worth it! He is a very good dog. He doesn't destroy anything & just wants love & to play. He is still right around 85#.
We love you Rex

 

These are my 3. The 1st if Kodiak, my 105 lb Husky. 2nd is Chinook our Shepard mix who was rescue as a stray. 3rd is Kenai, our little lap dog,

 

Mercedes says “I want some deer meat daddy”......

 

Lucy and Emmett!

 

Our buddy. He’s always at the dinner table.

 

Well, fall is coming to an end. They are calling for wintery mix here from Tuesday on. As it is 60° here today, I had to take Rex out to his favorite field & play with the chuck-it.
Also, had to clean the T4R yesterday as it was filthy from a small snow dusting & road salt. Probably the last few days she will remain clean for the winter! Stupid midwest.

 

New Wolf pup is coming soon. It will be born around Christmas.....

 

Ralph and his mom Izzy. Both re-homed. Both great in the truck.

 

Finally got enough snow for Rex to enjoy. He can just roll in circles for days. Even after a 3 mile walk he is ready to play. 30 minute nap & he will be ready again.
I wish I had half of his energy! I guess he is 3 yrs old or 21 depending...
He is a snow & cold lover.

 

My youngest, Daisy...…Daisy will be surrendering in her doggie MENSA credentials for defecating in her frisbee. To her credit all darts landed inside the ring. And before you ask, there will be no pix.

 

This thread made me think of our cat. We got him from the humane society and had him for 13 yrs. Since the first of the year he wasn't acting like himself. Then I noticed that he had stopped eating.
The next day (last Friday) my wife took him to the vet. They said because it was so sudden & his temperature was low it was likely major organ failure. Within an hour we had to put him to sleep. We couldn't let him suffer.
It has been another loss for us in the last month (my grandmother died last month). Needless to say I hope 2020 changes for the better sooner than later!
He killed mice, rabbits, birds & even brought a live rabbit into our house once. We let him keep his claws as he was an indoor/ outdoor cat.
His first spring (we got him in the winter & kept him inside) I put him on the side of our backyard tree & let him figure out that he could hold himself. He was in heaven.
Now he truly is. May he chase rabbits and get tons of catnip!
R.I.P. King George you were loved.
He ruled our 85# GSD & his bed and always wanted to be where we were (around the fire that night).
Sorry, he was a true family member.

 

Sorry for your losses. He had a great life and will be missed. My friend’s wolf pup was born and will be receiving him next month....

 

There's no need to say "sorry". Our pets ARE family and when we lose them it's crushing. I'm sorry to hear about your losses and here's hoping 2020 is better for you.

 

Sorry for your loss Ryan, as mentioned pets are family!

 

I actually traded my Tacoma in for a 4Runner specifically for our dogs. Funny. Anyways,


this is Trixie, my wife’s dog. She is around a year old. We rescued her from the shelter this weekend. She has a long road to being a confident dog. But we’re up for the task.
this is my boy Rex, he’s a little over 2 years old. I got him at 8 weeks from his breeder. He is my best friend.

 

Rex, meet Rex! LMAO
It is a great dog name. His paper name is Sir Rex Alot (as in Sir Lancelot). We choose it when he was a pup as GSD's are notorious "shredders". He is now a few months over 3 & he doesn't chew anything but his toys (we keep him busy & buy a lot of toys!).
This is formal Rex! I found his xmas tie today in his toy bin! Lol

 

Congratulations on Trixie! Good luck with the road ahead. Having another dog to learn from always helps. Both beautiful dogs btw!
Honestly, Rex was the reason for our now passion. The T4R. We never needed an SUV but after he grew, we did! It is a perfect fit & I wish I could just build it up & enjoy but such is life. The Mtns will remain for us...

 

This my girl..

 

Wolf puppy!!!

 

Our Portuguese Water Dog Daphne. She's looking a little shaggy in these pics from our hike last week. 1st pic she's scheming on how to get into the creek below.... imagine that....the water dog loves the water. Lol.

 

My girl in the back looking precious as always. We where on the way to Devils Tower over this past Christmas.

 

Meet “Fang” from a well known Wolf breeder....
