This is what we in the biz refer to as a good dogge.

That's like the dogge equivalent of this

My wife and I will be buying a house soon, and move out of our rental flat. I hope we can get a dogge when my wife gets some more time (and money) after finishing her studies. :unsmith:

I just returned from a three week sail to Norway, and returned to find that this little guy had moved in. Say hi to Bowie everyone!

Being in the garden is apparently the best thing ever.

So far he's been a bit scared of new things, but once he's had a closer look everything seems fine. We even brought him on our sailboat yesterday when fitting some new sails, and he seemed to really like that. :3:

Running around the garden tossing toys is a good way to spend an afternoon.

He's usually much more sedate, but sometimes you just gotta run around acting all crazy and stuff.

After we've had him for a month, Bowie really seems to enjoy his new non-shelter life.

Just lookit that beautiful dogge.


He even goes hiking with us.

I made my dog a god damned hammock.

And I'm not even kidding.


See?

This loving owns. Did it take any getting used to or did your pup immediately take to it? I'm pretty sure my little dude would start spazzing.

He'll lie there and chill out basically, but if the hammock starts swinging or moving about too much he'll just jump out and go do whatever.
He can't get in by himself though. :v:

This was just an experiment to see if I could figure out how to sew a hammock. It's pretty easy it turns out!

I'm currently doing some training for the next four months, 350km away from home. And my little dogge. :smith:

I get to go home in the weekends though. :unsmith:

Here's a pic to last us all until friday when I get back home.

All dogges are the best dogges.

This is my dogge, patiently waiting to get out of our tent to go run around and sniff things.


Here he is closely following me after we broke camp earlier that morning.


In summary, dogges are the best.

Do you know who loves hiking in the woods?

This guy.



Do you know who loves to chill out in the sun after a hike in the woods?

This guy.



Do you know who loves to catch crab on the beach and munch on them and refuse to go anywhere until he's done?

This guy.



Do you know who loves to go to a meetup with all the other adopted dogs, and the people that runs the shelter (that flew all the way from Greece)?

This guy.


Seriously dogs are the best. Also it was really touching to see him leap onto the lady that runs the shelter and shower her with kisses.

We found a big-rear end dead fish in the harbour this weekend.

This is what it looks like when you really want to taste the dead fish, but you hate getting your paws wet.



Unfortunately no fish was tasted.

In conclusion,
gently caress you fish.

Monty has suddenly started yacking his food back up pretty regularly, maybe three times a week or so. Guess I should get him a slow feeder bowl? The pieces he yacks up are generally still whole, so I'm assuming he's just trying to eat as fast as possible and it's hitting his stomach too hard.

We got one for Bowie, and it really slowed his eating down, so I say go for it. It's a cheap solution if that's the problem.

Edit: No posts without a picture.

I actually walked a few houndred feet out into the water to get this pic of my dogge.

met a gal that has a half wolf half coyote and its a sweetheart. Not exactly a dog, but it wants to be so bad. She was over here playing with my two dogs but was skiddish about people. The only way I could get her to come to me for pets was when I was petting Ghost and Dakota and she thought "oh that's what dogs are supposed to do" and would come get some love just as long as the other two where there and then run off and hide from me again when the dogs left.

How do we not have pics and/or video of this?!

We adopted a dog from a shelter in Greece this summer.

We think this might be the first time he experiences snow. :3:
I'm unfortunately not home at the moment, but my wife tells me that he just went out and sat down. Looked around and marveled at all the cold white stuff on the ground.

I was in the mental health waiting room at my VA clinic a few months back waiting for my appointment.

At the time I was pretty much mid mental breakdown to the point that my blood pressure was so high they made me sit down and wait to see if it came down before they would let me leave.

Someone came in with a PTSD dog and he hit the breaks walking past me and wouldn't move. Just sat down and started pawing and nosing at me until I would pet him. The trainer gave his leash a couple of tugs and the dog was like "Nope. I have poo poo to do". Took about five minutes and he finally got up and would go with the trainer.

Blood pressure was back down to an acceptable level.




PTSD dogs, They work!
Hey man. I'm sorry to hear about your mental health issues. I hope you get better. :unsmith:
Can you, like, get one of those doggos maybe? That would be awesome. Doggos are awesome, and we don't deserve them.
