Lamasquerade Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Love all the dog pics! I'm owned by two rescues. They own the house and yard too! I'm going to get myself a pod and leave it in the driveway, something I can say that I own. Hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When ya love 'em they become family and it's always painful to part. We had an awesome groomer who came to the house a couple of times a year and spent a few hours grooming him. Expensive, but worth it. She was great with him. He was a guard dog in a construction equipment yard for the first seven years of his life before we brought him to our house. He was a challenge, but our daily walks made all the difference in the world. He was great with me, but I had to vigilant when anyone else was around. I just could never be completely sure he would forget is guard dog ways. We never had an incident. He's been gone a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On this particular day, he was trying to convince me to go down a trail that I didn't want to go down because I didn't think it was safe. He thought if he flirted enough I would give in. I did not give in. But don't get me wrong. He was spoiled rotten. But of course all of my guys were spoiled rotten, and worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had 6 throughout the years. These two rescues I got on the same day from a lady in Boston. Brindle was 6 years old, had been in a crate most of her life and mistreated. Fawn was 4 months old. That was a challenge but although they are gentle giants, they would have seriously harmed someone to protect me. I miss them dearly.

How cute! I have a "granddog" who is very tall, and I think he probably has some Great Dane in him. Extremely intelligent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both lived to 9 years but had to be euthanized because the older one had an embolism and rear legs paralyzed. I still kept her for two weeks supporting her coz I thought it was arthritis. The younger one had similar problem and also had to be supported to get up but could walk unsteadily. She also became totally incontinent so I didn't let it prolong.

Yeah they take a big chunk of you away. Lexi was 4 months shy of her 10th BD and Emma 2 months shy of it. BTW that loveseat was hers lol, not my couch. They each had one for their beds.

Yeah, my husband was adamant when our first dog came to live with us that he wasn't going to be allowed on the furniture. Great rule. Lasted until he wasn't looking. After that, he didn't even try to enforce that rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a mix-samoy, golden retriever and Eskimo. She was mostly all white with a little brown and she had the same tail. Hard to maintain and she got shaved down once a year, the shedding was brutal. Don't think a day goes by that I don't think about her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
