LOVES IT! My oldest dog will come over to me, lean her rump against my legs....for the required scratching of her butt!

Great photo!!!!!

Thank you all for the kind words. I’ve been enjoying your thread and doggie pics for a while now and so I thought I’d share one or two from last summer. Sorry about the sunny pool pictures as I know a lot of you are experiencing snow and cold up to your eyeballs. Maybe these will help warm you up.

imalive, neither, but I do have the good fortune of access. A little slice of heaven this property is. Truth be told the family that lives there and their three dogs are what make it special.

Did someone say beer? Sunset by the pool with a cold Heineken and a good cigar is hard to beat. There’s also a humming bird that shows up about that time to look for bugs in the palm leaves.



Can you guess which one would prefer to drink from the pool rather than float on it?

Big snowstorm here (north Texas) that dumped 12.5" last Thursday, a record for a 24 hour period. No electricity from 8 PM Thursday to midnight Sunday, so no computer! :wtf: :thumbdown:
HOW I HAVE MISSED THIS THREAD! So good to see everybody again. :wave:

I will post some snow dog pictures later.

Glad to see you got the elecricity back on!!! Hope things are good with everyone...
Looking forward to the snow pictures...

OK, it's taken me a little while to get back here with the snow pics! I've been hit by a nasty upper respiratory infection and it's kind of wiping me out.

Soooooo, the the weather people were predicting 1-2" of snow for last Thursday but said it would be mixed with rain and wouldn't stick, the worst of it would pass us by, blah blah woof woof. I never pay much attention to these predictions of snow because it only snows around here a couple of times a year and we'd already had snow 3 times, for crying out loud! We had our first White Xmas since 1926! It's true, we tend to get our coldest weather January-February but snow just isn't much of an issue. Ice storms, on the other hand, are a BIG DEAL and pretty much paralyze the area because there's no equipment to deal with it.

I wasn't even thinking about the possibility of snow when I woke up Thursday morning and my back yard was starting to look like this:



We'd already had twice as much snow as predicted and it was still coming down! It snowed all day Thursday, that night, and the next morning and set a new record. Glenn took these pictures Friday morning. Funny, they could be black and white. The front of my house:





It's probably hard to appreciate this view of the street. We live on a residential street but it's a very busy one that cuts through this whole side of town. It's on the bus line and lots of people use it to commute. So there's always plenty of traffic, especially during rush hour, plus lots of kids walking to school. But here it is Friday morning at rush hour:



OK, now we get to the important part, the doggy pictures!

Dashing through the snow . . . .



What's this stuff?







Even though this one got cropped it still cracks me up because I can hear the dogs barking:
