Dogs

So cute! I want 10!

You do not want 10 of these, trust me. One is enough

Maybe 10 with 10 acres..

Agreed. 1 is more than enough

On a separate note... My wife made Hank some spent grain dog treats and he is a huge fan. I may or may not have tried one. And they may or may not taste pretty good

Got these floofy doofs last year at the local shelter. Adopting two puppies at once... don't do that. I wouldn't trade them for anything now tough.

LOL! I remember those days not to long ago only try adding snow to the mix! Our Golden pup loves the snow, but not when she was woken up from a nap to put her out to go potty. She'd just give us that WTF are you thinking look!

Rescued these two just in the past year, before that ours was a cat-only household (one of 'em's even in the background here).

Meet Casey and Harper (and Bailey in the back!).

Life has changed.

No sleep for me. Two pups are on downers and one on a double dose of benadryl...still only the unmedicated dog is not barking in every direction from the fireworks....and it is not dark yet.

I never really enjoyed the 4th after I was about 12 (worked it after 18 until 35 as it is high income day bartending at Country Clubs). Have dreaded it since my first rescue with a boom boom anxiety.

I've given up to 6 benadryls to my 70 lb Australian Shepherd and he still barks like crazy.

I found out that if I put the TV on the Smooth Jazz channel, and that I crank it to the max, it drowns out the fireworks and he doesn't bark.

Worth a shot.

the Howdy does not like the fireworks one bit. especially the mortars and bombs they're setting off in the next court. they did them Saturday, Sunday and Monday nights, but not last night, which was weird... maybe they blew their wads over the weekend, didn't have anything for the actual 4th.

anyways, last night was a little more quiet than the other nights, so the Howdy wasn't as jumpy. we also gave him a beefy bone (one of those fake butcher bones stuffed with fake peanut butter and fake cheese) and he was so focused on that, plus we turned up the volume on the TV, so he didn't notice the loud sounds outside

he got a little nervous at bedtime (10pm) but not as bad as the previous nights. noises stopped soon after and he settled down, but some ******** started it up again after midnight

 

[stratslinger]

Yeah, we're struggling a little bit with it with one of our guys... Harper, who's still not even a year old, couldn't care less about thunder, fireworks, or what have you. Casey, who's somewhere around 4, is absolutely terrified. Hell, drop something that makes a noise, and he jumps and runs... He escaped his crate twice last week and managed to break or chip both his canine teeth (he's not being crated during the day anymore). Last night wasn't too bad, until I took them out to do their business before bedtime - someone lit something off way in the distance, and just that sound was enough to put poor Casey's tail between his legs...

Just got some very tough news about my bud... It's cancer, inoperable and he's 14... Days maybe weeks left. Not dealing very well at the moment. Sorry to be a downer. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1499901094.602325.jpg

Goodnight all

Small souls ... still, they leave big impressions. Take care.

I remember getting a terminal diagnosis for one of our family dogs a few years ago. It broke me for a little while. My heart goes out to you.

So sorry to hear this Matt. Please know that we are here with you and for you as you and your family go through this.

We love them while they're here and cry like babies when we loose them.
My eyes also appear to get damp when my friends are loosing their pet too.

We lost our 16 year old chocolate, Guinness, in November. It sucks. No two ways about it. Still miss her but it does get better. I drink more Guinness now...

Sorry to hear man, wish they outlived us instead sometimes. Take care brother.

Thank you all for the well wishes. Words aren't my strong suit right now.. So just.. Thank you.

So sorry ... lost one of my dogs many years ago to cancer so I understand some of what you are feeling. We had 12 great years together, including marriage and first child, and I still think of him often, now mostly remembering the good stories of our adventures (and misadventures) together.

Sorry to hear. The worst part about dogs is they leave us. How amazing is it that they give us so much when they're with us? Amazing friends. What is your bud's name?

So sorry for what you're going through... We've been there with a few of our cats in the past, and I can only imagine how much worse it can be with dogs. They seem to bond so much more closely (and quickly!).

I am so sorry Matt. I will raise my pint glass to Strider tonight.
