The New Offical Mutts of the House thread

[Mick!]

From Facebook, thought of it when I saw your pic Stig.

I should post a print-out of that over the dogs couch

 

[vharrison]

Stig, how far from the ocean are you?

 

[stig]

45 minutes drive in a car.

Considerably less on the motorcycle

I've just waited for the water to get above 30 degrees before tossing Thais in for the first time.

New Thias looks happy on the dog couch, Stig. You are a good puppy papa.

Do the dogs have their own bikes or do they ride pillion?

Holy moly, 30 degrees? It has to be 80 before Palmer and I get in.

We're viking.
As long as we don't have to pick drift ice out of our teeth, we'll swim.

Winter ocean swimming is the big deal around here, these days.
Lots of people start their day with a skinny dip in the sea, year round.

Neither, but I once had a dog who rode in the sidecar, back when I was into sidecar biking in the wintertime.
He was big enough that his head and shoulders stuck up, so a friend of mine who worked in leather, made him a Snoopy type helmet.
I used to get a lot of smiles and comments from strangers, when we rode together.

Happy!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Ha, ultimate cute.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Introducing Samson !

 

[MasterBlaster]

He looks worth keeping!!!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

He has already even asked to go out for potty. He bonded to me immediately. He should be a good herd protector.
Akbash & Pyrenees mix.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Fine looking dog for sure. Looks smart too.

Should be able to chomp a coyote!

 

[CurSedVoyce]

You Betcha!

 

[Peter]

Fine looking hound.

 

[vharrison]

Oh so cute!

 

[stig]

He is going to be big.

Coyotes will be no challenge for him, both those breeds are used to keep bear and wolf from taking the sheep.

I'm a tad envious, Stephen.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Katy found a good deal and litter 3 or so hours away and picked him up. She done good

 

[FireFighterZero]

How big is he gonna get?

Can you have other pets around herd dogs like Samson? Other dogs?
