    And Gracie looks happy - she doesn't mind wearing clothes?

    Brian cut his foot and they wrapped it up and he's been wearing a cone of shame, but we promised him we wouldn't take pictures of him in it. He seems fine though.

    those shelties are beyond foofy. super-foofy, maybe :?

    gracie doesn't mind the t-shirt at all. she's in it about half the time. she's got no fur to protect her incision so sometimes she gets a little carried away with the scratching :lol:

    :lol::lol: Poor Brian. Kind of you for not taking pictures of him in it. I'm not sure I could resist.

    I had to spend two hours at municipal court today settling Harley's escape/impounding fine. It is always interesting there, but I had other things to do. As it was, the city attorney was very nice when I explained about the boy leaving the gate open, and chuckled when I told him how Harley generally has no ambition whatsoever, other than sleep and eating. And I told him how we don't usually keep the collar on him because he has a collapsing trachea problem and other respiratory issues common in pugs, and he generally doesn't leave the yard much due to a neuro issue that causes him to walk a bit funny, and drag his feet and make the tops of this feet bleed. As I write all this down, I realize my dog is a mess :roll: . But he's always been a mess and we love him anyway. Long story short, the attorney suspended the $300 fine. :D And I only had to pay $25 in court costs. It could have been way worse.
    And the sun it may be shining . . . but there's an ocean in my eyes

    Maybe I will name my next sheltie Foofy. :think:

    Several years ago we had a dog that had the heaviest coat of any of the shelties who've owned us. People use to say things like "Why don't you put her on a diet?" or "Does her stomach touch the ground?" Nobody believed when I said it was fur, not fat.

    So when she got older she had cancer. :( She had a large tumor removed from her side and had to be shaved for the surgery. At last people believed me. She wasn't fat!

    If you think Penny has a lot of coat, here's how she looked when we first adopted her:

    Kind of like a tall rat. :lol:

    Just finished watching Hachi: A Dog's Tale with my daughter. Inspirational, yet gut-wrenching at the same time. Highly recommend for animal lovers.

    Watched this with my dad, being Japanese he knew the story before hand.
    Thought it was just a happy story about a dog.


    FAILED TO WARN ME.

    what's it gonna take to get another picture of the adorable pooch you rescued? :wtf:

    it's been so long, I can't even remember her name :?
    Koyuki, technically. (Japanese for child of the snow / snow child... that's where she was found :) )
    Everyone just calls her Yuki. Sometimes I chase her around doing this (Yuki-chan CHUUUUU)... But she just gives me kisses anyways!

    And since you asked, here she is waiting for her first ferry ride

    And for good measure, here's an old photo I just came across of her royal majesty, the dearly missed, Sammi:
    809317bf-9ca8-4ad2-a4be-b7aa5a9635e1_zps79e561e8.jpg

    I almost forgot how big she was, wasn't till I saw this picture that I realised god damn, she was big. She never felt that way when I saw her every day... But now that we're used to Yuki (she's about 50 lbs right now) that I notice how much smaller Yuki is. Not sure if she'll get as big as Sammi, especially cause we don't know her exact breed.

    Nice to see a pic of Sammi again. She was so pretty.

    Don't forget to watch out for your doggies today! 4th of July fireworks can be loud and scary for our fur-kids.

    Great advice! My pooch (American Staffordshire Terrier) was scared off by fireworks about 12 years ago and ran out into traffic and was killed by a car :( RIP Jasmine

    My pack is the same. Noises don't bother them but I've had other dogs that it did and I know it can be a problem.
    That is very sad about Jasmine. :cry: I don't want anyone to experience what you went through, hwf.
