Hugs for you and Miss Gracie. I hope she is feeling better soon. Petey has been getting up at night, he is on diuretics and also has the runs from the other heart meds. I don't care, I'm used to not sleeping well anyway. Long as he is still here with me i will do what ever he needs.

aww poor gracie...looks like she and my mom fell about the same :(

while norm snores loudly beneath my desk, a thought i've had...i've had to take off his collar a couple times the past couple days and he gets really excited, almost anxiety like...i think he really likes his collar...anyone else notice this in their pups or is norm once again being 'special'?

Oh definitely. Both of ours (a chocolate lab and a yellow lab) have to sniff their collars incessantly if we take them off. I think they're just so used to having them on but can't see them when they're on, so they have no idea what it is and are very curious when they come off.

i was working outside and wearing a hat, i took it off inside and my dog started growling at it and seemed freaked out by it, they are probably like 'wtf!?!?' because of the smell suddenly appearing on this thing in front of them

Our chocolate lab hates baseball mitts, and our yellow hates wind. We have an interesting household.

There's nothing like weird dogs to make for an interesting household!

My yellow Lab, the most fearless dog on an agility course, is terrified of parked motor scooters and motorcycles. Doesn't pay any mind if someone rides one by him, but if it's parked on the sidewalk it's clearly ready to spring and attack. And he was once menaced by a flock of Canada geese, which was I thought was funny since I got him in Canada.

I suspect my Treeing Walker Coonhound isn't afraid of anything but she does not like to be away from home and in new places will stand motionless in the nearest doorway, facing me, giving me the Coonhound Eyeballs of Death Stare until I take her home. It freaks people out. It freaks me out when she catches bumblebees in her mouth and brings them into the house.

My young mixed breed isn't afraid of much, but is easily offended such as when people knock on our door. She's also offended by squirrels.

I don't think Gracie is feeling super great today , but she's still on guard duty at the front door. She takes her job seriously .

I worry everyday about her....she has been such a trooper....this fucking cancer has got to go!

happy to report that last night, Gracie found her groove. She got fired up, was humping my leg and took a bite out of my 2007 All-Star game shirt :wtf: . Later, before bed, she was spinning circles on the bed, growling and trying to dig thru the comforter. what a nut. as long as she's feeling good....

Charley's doing the same sort of thing...only he jumps really high to grab them as they fly over him and he also knocks down anyone and anything in the way of his attempted fly catching...Ears at full attention...We try to push them down...but that makes him crazier! What is it with dogs and flies/bees?

here are the doggies i fostered before adopting jackson

champ

a leash broke and i thought it looked like some cheesy 80's tie like on a cover of a huey lewis and the news album

i had to take him back because a roommate at the time had reheated a casserole and left it on the counter to cool....i'm sure you can see where this is going? i thought he should be given a break because his life before that was being tied up under a deck in someone's backyard and he was all bones. but he was having none of it and i had to take him back, otherwise i probably would've kept him. luckily he wasn't at the shelter 2 weeks before getting adopted by a family with a little girl.

tai

i didn't get to keep him very long before he got adopted, this is him at the vet

dakota

how could you not want to take this little guy in!?

i didn't have him very long, either, in fact he was adopted when i went to seattle to see pj

the lady that adopted him changed his name to scorpio and sent this pic of him at his new home

gracie (so smart but so stubborn!)

she was adopted fairly quickly

crystal and kasey

and then jackson when he first came to the shelter at about 7 months
