I have 2 rescued GSD that are my kids. The older one is perfect and the 18 month puppy is finally resolved to the fact that I am the Alpha in our pack.
I have three Dobies. I have the best of all the worlds as I have elderly, middle aged and puppy. My dobes are wonderful. Shannon the elder and wisest is 12 she has been resurected from the grave twice now through accupuncture and homeopathy. She is the best dog in the world and should be the embassador to the doberman breed. She is a pet therapist, has achieved a CDX tittle for obedience and is my very best friend.
V.C. is 6 and is a rescue and newly aquired family member. He is HUGE! 120lbs all muscle he looks more like a dane then a dobe and he is red. He is a sweet boy he lets my three year old paint his nails. I call him the nanny as he babysits my daughter and the puppy. He is such a puppy himself at heart.
The Puppy, Abby, otherwise known as "sawdust head" because we wonder if god have her sawdust instead of brains. She is sweet and smart, but, oh so puppyish at 7 months. She has Von Willbrand's disease and Dry sockets. She is very accident prone too. Abby is teaching my daughter the art of picking up her toys or they will be chewed.
That is my dog family. They are so cool. I love them all and can't imagine a day without one of their doberman antics.
Hi Everyone! Love all your replys. I'm new to the forum and just love hearing everyone talk about how much they love THEIR dog! The stories are all so touching. I think we all can relate to that special love. And Karen, I hope you see this. The absolute LOVE OF MY LIFE was my precious Jingles, a yellow lab/golden mix that was just the best of two great breeds. I lost her two years ago this month and miss her so. Nothing can ever replace your first true love! I also have a shep/husky (x) named CODY! And now a new "baby" yellow lab named Star. (Labs never grow up!!) She was born almost to the minute that Jing crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge. She was given to me as a gift for that reason. We all believe the soul of Jing entered little Star's body at that moment. I named her Star because I think Jing sent down her spirit from heaven to be with me in another little vessel. At least I'de like to think so!
Your story is so coincidental. When our Kaycee had to be put to sleep due to a terrible battle with congestive heart failure, our precious Lilly was born the next day!!! I think God works in mysterious ways with life and death. I will be forever grateful for the company of Honey, and six weeks later, Baby Lilly, after Kaycee died. I certainly can understand your feelings about Star. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif

Yes! Thanks Tatsxxx11! Cody still thinks he's a puppy! It is the Lab, always with some squeezy toy or 2 tennis balls in that grinning mouth! We are all so lucky! I've warned the family, NO WAY could I be without a dog, hope it's a long time from now, but regardless, I can't imagine my life without one. By the way, newest issue of US NEWS (stolen from a dr office, a felony I'm sure) front cover on Animal Emotions and interesting results about dogs and owners. Some of it is like listening to us!
Hi Baby Lily, Honey and Cody! Thanks for sharing your "tales."
i have a rotty/border collie mix 60lb , A rotty/aulstralian shephard mix 100lb, and a german shephard/akita mix 120lbs. i love them all. I wouldn't know what to do with out them
I have 2 Beagle/Corgi mixes (we call them the Borgi Bridage). The both have long Corgi bodies and floppy ears, and both have the long Corgi snout.
Mojo has short legs, with Beagle markings and Binkley has longer legs with the reddish-gold and white Corgi markings.
I have four dogs; a St.Bernard, Bernese Mt. Dog, Boxer, and a Yorkie. They all live in the house with us, making even the largest house seem small! The Berner, Boxer, & Yorkie are all working obedience dogs. The Saint was a breed prospect that didn't pan out -- but he's a wonderful pet, and we couldn't give him up. Of the dogs, the Yorkie calls the shots, and makes all the "doggie" type decisions.
golden retriever, amthony, male, 4 months old....cutest dog
We live in Seattle with a boy named Sue. Sue is a 75 pound Chow-Chow/Labrador mix whom we recently adopted from the local animal shelter. He is just an absolute character!

Congratulations on your new baby. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
GoldieMom,
First of all congratulations on your new baby!! My dogs were my excuse for not being able to have another baby. Nothing physical, by the way, just no husband!!!! Anyway, how do you manage? I work full time, have one 9 1/2 year old daughter, two dogs, 1 cat, 2 hamsters and 3 hermit crabs. I always feel like I do everything "half way". If you have a secret, you need to share it with the rest of us!!!!!
Good luck with your whole gang. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif
Goldiemom..after I wear out my welcome at Logan's or she throw me out, I'm moving to yours!!! What fun!!! If you make a Xmas card with a family picture, can you somehow send it through to us??? I'd love to see your brood!
I will not throw you out, Karen, provided you bring Cody too!! Anytime you need a visit in the south, you've got a place to stay. I am not nearly as efficient as GoldieMom!!! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif

I have a 1yr. 5 month old German Shepherd. She's very playful and sweet, sometimes she gets a little ruff, but she doesn't do any harm. She's started to become the protective watch dog we've wanted her to--but not all the way!
It snowed pretty deep at our house today, I can't wait to take her out ot play in it!!!!!!!!

We have 2 Beagle/Corgi mixes, to whom we refer as the "Noble Borgis."
It's an interesting mix - Binkley, the youngest at age 3, still thinks he's a puppy, so he's very hyper. From the Beagle side we have the prey instinct, and from the Corgi side, we have the herding, so he wants to chase you til he catches you and nip at your heels. He can be a little dog aggressive, mostly when he has his Gentle Leader on. He hates that thing, but it's greatly civilized our walks. In pop culture terms, I'd have to say he reminds me of a Jim Carey character on "In Living Color." The one I'm thinking of is in a scene with a "serious" newscast going on and Jim is in the background doing crazy things to get on TV. "Hey, look at me, notice me!" That's Binkley! He's a clown who doesn't always know when to quit.
Mojo is 4, and we think he might have some Basset in him, because he's a total couch potato. He's also a little dog aggressive. For his pop culture reference, I'd say he's a cross between Benson from "Benson" and Darlene (the younger daughter) on "Rosanne." Sometimes he seems to be shaking his head at how silly we are the way Benson did with his dingy boss, and sometimes I think he goes out of his way to be crabby, especially when Binkley/Jim Carey is acting out.
They both came from no-kill shelters. I have to laugh now, because I originally wanted a small toy dog, but I can't imagine my life without the Borgi Brigade in it! Mr. WendyK always wanted a Beagle, but his stepfather is allergic to everything with fur. I'd promised that he could pick whatever kind of critter he wanted, because I got to have dogs (Dachshunds) growing up and he didn't. When we went to the shelter in 1997, he and Mojo just clicked immediately. About a year ago, I was surfing Corgi links to find out more about the breed, and landed on petfinder.com, which has links to critters in shelters, and landed on a picture of Binkley. His smile reminded me so much of Mojo that I just *had* to have him. And the rest is history!

I have three dogs, a mad flatcoated retriever puppy of 7 months,a naughty black lab of 2 and a rescue mongrol of 12.I do not understand why flat coats are not popular they are the sweetest breed, my puppy is 7 months and went into a obedience competion and came 3rd. My lab is very naughty and has not grown up. The only time she behaves is when she goes obedience training. I would like to say well done to all people who ever homed a rescue dog. My mongrol of 12 was thrown out on a busy motor way and left. Once we had had her for a few weeks she was perfect. She is excellent with children and other dogs although wary of men. She is the most perfect dog, I love her to bits and would like to say thank the rescue who gave her to me. I would also like to thank all the people who go to my training club for all their support, advise and help in qualifing my lab for the obedience at crufts. Most people did not believe she had done it.
I have a Basset Hound puppy named Daisy who I love to pieces! Well actually she is two years old... not exactly a puppy anymore... but I refuse to admit that http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif She's the sweetest girl and makes friends with anyone or anything, she has even inspired a few of my friends to buy Bassets, one named Baby Daisy !
Well, as I have posted all over the place...we have 5 big poochies. Sox is Aussie/German Shepard mix, Tigger is a Husky/Pit mix, Shawna is an Aussie, Jazzy is a Great Dane, and George is some sort of a hound. All of them are great and have such distinct personalities.
I have a fawn greyhound that is my world!! She is very happy and spoiled!! I often think of adding another dog to the family but I have a VERY small house,and a small car, with no fenced in yard. My family would have a fit if I brought another dog along on vacations, trips, or visits!!
And Shaianne enjoys being top dog!!
Hi, all; I'm Cinder, the lil' German Shepherd from Ohio. I was six months old and only weighed 34 pounds when Dad, he's my Two-legger, drove over 80 miles to the jail in Wheeling, WV, to 'dopt me. He saw my mug shot on the jail's web site thanks to my two Angel Mom volunteers who took my picture and then e-mailed Dad the photo. I'm alomost two now, and weigh a whopping 44 pounds and stand a mighty 22 inches on my tippy-toes. I look 'zactly like a big German Shepherd, but Doctor Mike, the two-legger in the white coat that put the zipper in my tummy, says he thinks maybe I got *mixed* with something small. Dad doesn't care since I've finally decided that it's fun to crawl up on his lap and help watch the TV box. Small is nice! http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/biggrin.gif
I've been to 'bediance school with Dad. It was a lot of fun, but he often acted upset and cranky in class. The teacher always *grinned* when she watched us do our stuff in class. I had the most trouble walkin' backwards so's I could watch the mutt heelin' around the course behind us. He was a butt sniffer.
I gots a liddle brudder who lives with us at the house; he's called Boots, the Kat. Bad attitude when I first came home; he spent a lot of time up on the high places in the house. He always seemed to have a speech problem; everything he said was either a low growl or a hiss with a lot of cat spit mixed in. He's a lot more friendly now, but he still screams to Dad for help when we play box and wrestle. http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/eek.gif I get away from Boots most days 'cause I go to *work* every day with Dad to help him fix 'lectronic stuff at our shop.
Cinder I love your story. I think your Dad must be a very nice man! He's lucky he found you, right?
I am owned by 2 beautiful, sweet, wonderful Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Stanley and Lindy. Stanley is 9 years old, and Lindy is 7. They are the light of my life--absolute joys!! I have been the dog "mom" to other breeds, but none as sweet and loving as the Cavalier. I work as a vet tech and meet many loving dogs and cats, but it is always a joy to return home to my babies.
I am Mom to Jeffrey a 2 yr old basset/lab mix and Bandit a 2 year old pug. They are my boys. I always wanted a house full of kids, but now that I am single, I can't afford it. My dogs are the kids I don't have to pay college tuition for; much cheaper http://PetoftheDay.com/talk/smile.gif Jeffrey is a total Goof! He's definitely more lab than basset. When he runs downstairs, he's always in such a rush, he tumbles down the last 3 or 4 steps. Bandit seems like the aristocrat. He just looks at him as if to say "How un-civilized!" When my 11 year old daughter Kelsey sings in her "Munchkin" voice, Bandit howls like crazy. If I'm eating Bandit begs like he's starving, but if it's something he doesn't like he turns his nose up and trots away. Jeffrey, on the other hand will eat anything! To get Kelsey up for school, all I have to say is "Jeffrey, wake up Kel." He runs to her room, jumps, and does a belly flop on her. Kel doesn't particularly care for it but I think it's hilarious! I had dogs growing up; Lucky who was the family pet and Camp (don't ask, I was only five when I named him), but had a cat (Mike the Cat passed on in '98) as an adult since I only lived in apartments. As soon as I moved into a house, I got Jeffrey, then 2 months later, Bandit. They are true treasures and I can't imagine life without them. Aaah, group hug!
