If I'm not mistaken that dog is saying "it's right there, shoot it and I'll go get it.". Can't see what the tail is doing.

When she is on point, the tail is completely steady. That tail is wagging when she's happy, but during business hours it is very disciplined. Hunting dogs like my Daisy do not f*ck around when prey is present, not even from the truck window.

our Gemma is only part beagle, we think the rest is treeing walker coonhound. she is definitely all scent hound.

one of the smartest dogs I've known, maybe as smart as my mom's dobie, but Rolf had a smarter teacher.

right now, if Gemma sees prey, it's "LET'S GO GET IT, DADDY!"

We lost our oldest dog Bella abruptly today. She was almost 17.5 years old. We knew her time was coming to an end but we didn’t expect her to pass away today.
Yesterday the other dogs and cats were by her side more than ever. I think they knew something was going to happen.
Thankfully it was quick and she was surrounded by our family although my daughters had never experienced anything like this.
Bella was a schnauzer yorkie mix who wasn’t afraid of anything and was a strong determined dog. She will be missed.

Those are such sad times. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Pets should have much longer lives than they do.
So I always hope, for the relatively short live pets have, their owners make every day worthwhile and special for them. And they'll live on in our hearts forever.

I'm really sorry. She was a beautiful little one and it's obvious how much love was shared between you. I hope you and your family find healing soon. I do think they go on to endless summer fields and play. They teach us so much.

Thank you for sharing a bit of her life and blessings.

My coworker and friend sent me this today. So true and sad.
He got the waterworks going with this one.

What an adorable little angel. I feel your pain. About 1.5 years ago, my wife and I lost our first dog together, she was 14.5. Coincidentally, our current dog is actually a schnauzer-yorkie mix, though he looks a bit different than your girl (as you can see in my profile pic). She'll live on in your and your families hearts.

It would be nice to be so content in middle age with a new toy.

On another thread, someone turned me on the copilot AI picture generator. So I typed in "two red miniature poodles drinking 'Dominator' brand beer." Here's what it gave me:

Coffee this morning as I’m up with the new puppy. We decided our pack needed a third dog b/c it hasn’t been the same all week since losing Bella. I finally tired her out so I can sit, enjoy coffee and watch some of the Olympics this morning.
We wanted to rescue a dog from a local shelter. Unfortunately our now oldest dog is a rescue (Charlotte) who’s very selective around other dogs. We knew it would be a lot of work and may only lead to issues that never go away when a lot of the dogs at the local shelters say they are best as a single pet in a house. So a puppy would be the best way to introduce a new dog to our pack. So far it’s been going really well and Charlotte (our selective dog) loves playing with the puppy and is so good with her. Yesterday I snapped the second picture of Betty (I think that will be her name) sleeping on Charlotte’s legs after playing hard together outside yesterday.

Penny is a 13 YO rough-coated Aussie and very fluffy, and has a good bit of undercoat even tho' it's summer. She looks like an enormous Pomeranian.

She ran thru some burdock and is covered in burrs. I've been teasing them out, or in some cases crumbling them with my thumbnails so I can get the pieces out. But there are a few that are stuck tight very close to her skin on her belly and "arm pits". Is there any trick to getting those? They are too tight to cut them out with scissors. Maybe give her a bath and try to remove them while they are wet?

I've also heard of using coconut oil to soften them and turn the hair loose (I'd probably use rendered turkey and chicken fat; it melts at about the same temperature as coconut oil, and I have almost a pound of it) But the video I watched where they used coconut oil; the burrs were really not in there all that bad and they probably could have been teased out without it.

I think she's been chewing some of them out, but not the really bad ones.

I have some tools that look like dental picks (I'm not sure what they are called) that might be good for ripping them apart without pulling the hair. I haven't tried that yet.

I’m afraid that you’ll have to use scissors and cut them out. I hope she stays still for you. Good luck.

I think I got at least half of them out; starting with the worst ones. There's about 10 times as many as I thought. I stopped because I was testing her patience. I'll dig some more out later. For the next 20 minutes we're playing with a ball and eating treats (cooked green beans; she loves them)

These things worked remarkably well; I got a lot of them out intact or almost intact:
