I was out in the backyard doing some pool maintenance and heard the Howdy's tags rattling. I looked around but didn't see him, so I called out to him.

he stuck his face out like, "what!? I'm right here!"

"because THERE'S BUNNIES UNDER HERE!"

Here is the latest addition to our family next to our 8 year old Newfie/Lab mix, Bella:



Her name is Evie, short for Evelyn. She's named after a song by my favorite band, My Morning Jacket! :fro:

We had a chocolate lab mix who passed away about 3 months ago and prior to that, Bella had never been an only dog so she was kind of lost without him. We hadn't planned on getting a puppy right away, but we just happened to be in a local puppy store and there she was, the last of her litter left and she just looked at us like you can't possibly leave me can you??? So, lo and behold, she came home with us.

Bella took a little over a week to warm to the new puppy but now they have become fast friends! Here is a picture of the two of them recovering after one of our morning walks:

Sorry about the loss of your older dog. That sure is a good looking pup. How old is she and what breed? Looks like she may be a big girl.

Thanks. Its never easy.

Evie is a Golden and she's just over 3 months old. And she seems to be growing by the minute...

It is tough. We lost or husky at 14 last fall and it took us until this spring to be ready for a new pup.

Bridger is 4 months now and growing like a weed too. My wife sent me this pic of him just a few minutes ago.

She is breast feeding our youngest and this is the look she got when she asked him to get off the couch. He knows the couch is a no no, but he also knows momma cant get up to get him until baby is done eating.

Sometimes he is to smart

Baxter washed up onto a roof on the Mississippi Golf Coast during Hurricane Katrina. My sister in law adopted him and had him for 10 years. As he got too old to live in a wak up in NYC, she brought him to California to retire with us.
She figured he did not have much life left in him. Two years later he is still bringing smiles to us.

Just love Baxter. He has that tough guy, big heart, survivor look.
 
Yep Baxter is a soul warming dog. At 4 he had both knees replaced and has to work hard to get up walk. He could not go far when he move out to be with us but his California retirement has made him stronger. I made this video to show off his unique physique.

Nyla our Border Collie (50%) Australian Shepard (25%) Cattle Dog (25%) mix, 13.5 years old.
 
Cute pup and three is the magic number for me. Though I occasionally have four...I do not remember the last time I had just two.

Nah! Three is pushing it, but not crazy. We maxed out at 3 at one point but we have found 2 to be our magic number! :mug:

Cute pup btw...

I hate be a bummer but my wife and I are mourning the loss of my little brew buddy, Boo.

He passed away yesterday after our neighbors dog got into our back yard somehow and attacked him. Please make sure you give your little friends an extra hug today because you truly never know if it might be your last chance to.

Well, the Old Man is suffering from idiopathic vestibular disorder, aka, old dog dizziness. You can look into his eyes and see them constantly rolling up and down. Good news is that he is in good working order otherwise, and dogs usually just right themselves after a few days.

Sorry for your loss. I feel for you. Lost a beagle about 10 years ago. Took it very hard. We now have a mini dachshund who is 9 years old. I dread the day when her time comes as my wife and I are very attached to her. She's part of the family.

Thoughts are with you.
 
Sorry to hear about Boo. It always sucks when we lose a dog. We get so attached to them so much that when they go we cry like babies.

One of my dogs is now almost 15 and is showing signs of age. I am dreading the time when she is gone.
 
Thanks for the kind words everyone.

It's horrible to see them go but the joys they bring us are priceless.
 
@TheCrackpot , so sorry for your loss of Boo. My heart goes out to you and your family. The next pint poured, a toast will be raised in Boo's memory.

We love them while they're here and we cry like babies when we lose them.
 
On a little lighter note.... Every time I go up to moms (usually once a week these days), I take Moogie with me so he can run in the back yard, untethered. Yesterday, he decided to ride almost the whole way with back legs on the back seat and fronts on the center console, looking out the windshield to where we were going.
Had 'Flight of the Valkryies' running through my head the whole trip
