Zeke sleeping now days. He claims our bean bag to himself. This is usually how he spends his night after a hard play at the dog park on Sundays..

What a handsome guy! :thumbup:
Yup, it's hard work keeping your parents entertained at the dog park, then protecting them all day and all night! A good dog's work is never done. :angel:

So we're off to see the New Zealand's gig's and we'll be gone a week and we're really curious as to how much Orbit will grow while we're gone!! We'll measure her tomorrow and when we back.

Thanks so much. She loves to cuddle. And even in her advanced age she still loves to play. Labs never grow up.

Cleo looks mighty sweet! Sometimes I like dogs best when they start getting old, if that makes sense. You've been through so much with them by then that you just love them even more.

Yeah, I saw your thread. You didn't think you might get your ass kicked for even suggesting such heresy? :P I think you might have been able to make a fairly decent case if you'd waited another six months (or years!) when people weren't still so emotionally attached. Or maybe if you'd taken a sarcastic approach, although I'm not sure The Porch always adapts well to irony. :roll: :ugeek: :lolno:

So take some advice from Django and chill out:

I know exactly what you mean. I will take an calm and lovable Cleo over her crazy non stop barking and jumping puppy self any day.

old dogs are awesome.


sure, puppies are sweet and cuddly and new. and let's face it, new is always enticing and exciting...dogs or people .....but there is something to be said for longevity and the passage of time. you really know your dog, he or she knows you...you've got history...and sure, you can just *be*. puppies are fun! old dogs can be too...but the mellowness of doggie age is truly awesome imo. i miss my 'old dog'....sinead. sadly, she's been gone 9 years now, and before i had a digital camera so no pics online of the beauty. but what a dog! chloe os 9 now, and while she still is quite puppyish in many ways, she also has grown/mellowed in her age and top dog status. i think she is a lot happier.

This is my dog Morgan. He is a year and a half old Rhodesian Ridgeback. I can't imagine if we didn't have him because he has brought so much joy to our family. My son adores him and he adores my boy. They are best friends.

I was going to make a comment about what a brave man you are, raising a toddler and a puppy at the same time, but I see you have them both crate-trained. So that's how you manage! :P

Srsly, your little boy is so cute and Morgan is really a handsome dog! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Awww Rhodesian Ridgeback's are such neat dogs. Yours is a beaut. What a precious picture. Nothing is cuter then puppies and kids.
