amazing how they sleep so soundly on your bed? My girls have their beds, I have mine but they get invites to my bed occasionally.
believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

Well it's a long weekend here for ANZAC day and my brothers family has gone camping, which means we are doggysitting my nephews dog, Ben, a 2.5 yo golden retriever. He and Rufus get along well until feed time....then the fur flies! I have to lock Rufus on the patio to eat and Ben gets fed in the carport...if they can't see each other it's all ok. Then when they have finished I have to get rid of any left overs straight away or there'll be fights!! Ben hasn't wasted time getting dirty either, within 15mins of being dropped of he found some dirt to roll in...feral!!

Question: How are you posting your photos? I would love to share some of my three dogs.
Embarrassing moment this morning: Folks bought the house behind us two years ago. We live in a densely populated area and our second-floor deck looks down into our yard and into the neighbor's yard and porch. Two years ago when they moved in our dogs were in the yard and I looked down at them and said, "Sailor! Don't pee on your sister!" as our Lab was lifting his leg on puppy Tessie. Next thing I saw was the neighbor woman look up at me, startled, then she turned and scurried into her house. I'm pretty sure she thought at the time that we have a kid named Sailor and he's out there peeing on his sister. We've never exhanged words _ I think she works odd hours, and we're away a lot of weekends.
Fast forward to this morning. I open the slider, all three dogs go running out to do their business. Then Sailor and Sweet Pea come running back in. No Tessie. I'm running late and have their food all ready, but since I feed them all at the same time I'm waiting for her. I go out to the deck, look down, and she's got her nose buried in something under one of the bushes. I said, sounding snippy (I'm really not a morning person), "Excuse me! What do you think you're doing?" Then I see the neighbor woman who unbeknownst to me was apparently sorting trash on her deck, look up and stare at me _ she turned immediatly and trotted into her house. My jaw dropped and I just gaped. I couldn't even think of what to say (see, I told you I'm not a morning person).

I hope you have a camera and are going to share some pictures of the sleepover ! Gracie is just the opposite....she eats BETTER when there is another dog eating nearby. It's like she's in a competition to see who can finish first . And also, she doesn't want to leave even one little kibble for someone else!

Welcome to "the best thread in the message pit"! This is where you come for your "all positive; no bitching" fix (although there is sadness here ). Your stories cracked me up. Speaking for the others , we do want to see Sailor, Sweet Pea and Tessie. I upload my pictures to photobucket and copy and paste the url into here. Hit "quote" on any post with pictures and you'll see how we do it (don't quote whizbang, tho...she's a technotard ). one more thing...set photobucket (or flickr or whatever) to import your pictures at 480 x 640...bigger won't work. Confused? we'll get you thru it. Welcome!

Lots of great pictures the last 24 hours -- keep it up everyone!
My only story today is that our dog has found a bunny nest in the yard so we have to constantly watch him when he goes out and chase him away when he goes near. The sad thing is he doesn't want to eat them, but he thinks he can play with them. It's really sad since he's 110lb and they are like 8 ounces? But he just kind of swats at them and then when they run he just chases them around. He's never tried to bite/eat them... so either he really wants to play or he is one cruel pup.
Either way... until those friggin bunnies get out of that nest I have to run security for them. And what kind of bunny puts a nest in a yard with a ginormous dog? Because they do it 2-3X a year!
You might import them a little bigger (up to 480 x 640)
Gracie and I are off to the park. Maybe I can figure out my new camera phone :roll: .

I have to figure out how to change the import size _ will work on that!
Have fun at the park. We're off for a weekend agility trial in which Mr. Sailor may earn his second championship and Tessie will hopefully conquer the weave poles. Sweet Pea, who is indifferent at best to competition, will nap in the car and complain about having to travel with the Nitwit Lab and the Evil Puppy when she'd much rather stay home and enjoy the view from the couch.
(Nitwit Lab and Evil Puppy are her descriptions, not mine. I think they're all wonderful and really quite funny...
German Shepherd dog leads Alaska State Troopers to fire
Amazing video from the dashboard camera of an Alaska State Trooper's vehicle shows how a dog led the trooper through snowy roads to a fiery blaze that had erupted at his owner's property.
The raw video, distributed by the Associated Press, shows Buddy the German Shepherd dog waiting by the side of a main road on a dark and cold night. As soon as Buddy sees the trooper's headlights, the dog takes off running down a smaller road, leading the trooper's car down the right path at each fork in the road to where the fire is blazing.
The incident occurred on April 4. Buddy and his owner, 23-year-old Ben Heinrichs, were in the family workshop when a heater ignited chemicals and the workshop burst into flames, reports the AP.
"I just told him, 'We need to get help,' and then that's the last time I seen him," Heinrichs told the News-Tribune. "I didn't train him or nothing. He just took off and went and did what he did. ... He was just being a good dog."
It's a good thing Buddy sprung into action because trooper Terrence Shanigan, who was responding to the call about a fire, was having trouble with his vehicle's global positioning system, which wasn't working properly, reports the News-Tribune. "Shanigan, who almost took the long way around the neighborhood, came across Buddy on Caswell Loop Road," reports the News-Tribune. "The dog took off, and acting on a hunch, Shanigan followed the dog down a side road." Amazing!
Heinrichs survived the fire with minor flash burns to his face, reports the AP. Buddy will receive a special award today from the Alaska State Troopers: an engraved silver-plated dog bowl.
don't compete; coexist

You've come to the right thread. Many of us have been through that experience.
I love seeing dogs do agility. I've never done it but I train and show dogs in obedience.
