What a sweet gesture!

May he keep safe - and thank you both for your service

Thanks Hedo and Wob.  And to answer your question Wob, yes, it’s a website called Shelter Pups (they also do kitties) out of New York.  It’s made of merino wool and they even added the scar from her knee surgery on it  . I highly recommend them.

I’m satisfied as far as I can be without physically going to Ithaca and demanding to audit their books lol. I guess I just have to take it on faith that they’re doing what they state that they’re doing.

I couldnt wait.  Hubby loved it.  Couldn’t believe how much it looks like Max.  He’s thrilled.
We are thinking of having one done of Nikita.

max seems to like it too!

Rose has been whining at the back door for about an hour because she wants to go out and play in the snow. But mom’s busy shoveling, the kids are busy building a snowman, and this Florida boy doesn’t go outside in that shit. I’m about to call a dog walker just to get her to shut the fuck up.

Are you joking?  I don’t know you so when I read what you say about Rose you come across as a selfish jerk.  I don’t know if that true, and I’m trying not to judge, but you bring a negativity to a really positive thread.  I really hope that you are just joking.    

Have a wonderful day and a bit of advice, the sooner you embrace the cold, the quicker your blood will thicken

That selfish jerk dude has a heart of gold.  Don't let him fool you - I am convinced he's secretly in love with Rose

Keep convincing yourself, @hedonist

And @Fifthelement, I’ll stay out of your warm and fuzzy puppy dog thread from now on. I didn’t realize it was only supposed to be about how perfectly wonderful dogs are and how they never cause any trouble for the humans with which they live.

Also, I hope that your last sentence is a joke. It’s hard to tell with the way that hard science is being so gleefully discarded as #fakenews these days. 

Wobbie

you didn’t get the memo dan - this thread is ONLY about the wonderfulness of dogs. no negative vibes. probably the only thread on this forum where that’s true.

hedonist

This made me so happy.  Way to go, Steve-O!  Not quite the jackass I thought he was.

I love looking through this thread on occasion. Such amazing dogs! If I can ever figure out how to post in here, I'll post some pics of my little diva dog.

Sounds like you need a ((((Hug)))). Good luck and stay frosty.

Repeat post. Ugh. 

hedonist

Awww!  She's so tiny it took me a couple seconds to realize that's a ball in her mouth.

tweedyfanjen

haha yes that's not a regular sized tennis ball. She's 8 pounds. Chi/jack russell mix estimated to be about 2 years old.

Long story short—Kasey appears to be much better. Further X-rays didn’t show anything else. Vet thinks perhaps the thing they saw first time around was a soft tissue issue. So we’re thinking it was just a sprained ligament or something. She’s been walking around without the limp for over a week now. We’re not letting her up the steps when we’re not home. Quite the range of emotions from thinking she had a bone tumor to where we are today....very grateful right now!

Poncier

Good news.

Nice shirt.

hedonist

Keep rocking, Kasey!  Gotta be a relief.

Also, there are few things in life as pure as the face of a happy dog romping through the snow.

Great news! I'd been wondering about her diagnosis.

Wobbie

Thank's to Enkidu's husband (aka Mr. E and/or The Most Interesting Man in the World) for putting this on youtube.

Piper has had her "yellow bunny" since day 1. It is THE ONLY toy she never wanted to destroy. last weekend, winnie was at a show so we pulled out the yellow bunny....if winnie had been around, it would have been a tug o' war toy, just like all the others.

anyway, this is what piper always does....very gentle chewing, accompanied by paw movement. it's her serenity toy!

I LOVE THIS.

And Mr. E rocks, as always.

Fifthelement

Aww Juggie, that’s wonderful news.  I hope the soft tissue injury heals soon but I’m glad *clears throat, prepares best Ahnold impression,* it’s not a tumour.

. . . and holy shit Wob, that was intense!  The action!  the drama!  I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!

Who Princess

Hey Juggler, such good news about Kasey!  She'd been on my mind. 

Rob, almost hate to say this, but that vid of Piper reminds me of a kitty cat.
