2-year-old German Shepherd, 31" at shoulders, 90 lbs.
I love him because taking him out and for walks at night justify plenty of light purchases ;-)
Great pictures! One reason I made sure I always had a decent light handy for many years was my black and tan dachshund. Short and dark dogs are easy to lose at night. A bright orange collar and leash on walks did help. So did a wide beam 500 lumen light (most recent acquisition). I managed to keep her weight just right, and she was very active. Just over a week ago she took her last trip to the vet. I had to say good-bye to my companion for over 16 years. This thread has been uplifting and I think there will be another dog in my future. Thanks everyone!

Every cliche about dogs is true. Unconditional love. Loyalty without strings.
They read us and treat us all differently. Biscuit doesn't play with my 17 year old son. She hangs with him. Biscuit does whatever my 12 year old daughter wants. Let's trot like horses, stay next to me while I read a book, come in the bathroom while I shower. Biscuit follows my wife like a shadow and plays frisbee with her. No matter how late I get home from work, Biscuit is waiting at the door. And she wants some lovin before I can take my shoes off.
Biscuit loves Switzerland. Not just the walks, trails and space. She gets great service in restaurants. In the summer, she gets water before we do. She goes on trains and buses. Here are Biscuit and Sarah at the glacier above Zermat. Sarah's train ticket was 1/2 price; Biscuit was free.
This was my Australian Shepherd, Toby. We found a new home for him earlier this fall for several reasons. I still think it was the right decision but I miss him so much
Wow what gorgeous dogs you all have.
Jack Russell Terrier here (Bella).
Coming up to 3 years old now and comes absolutely everywhere with us.
First walk out the house after she'd had her jabs
Kids playing dress up with her
Hiking with her as a pup
Mountain biking as she got older
Swimming in the summer
And a hiking again
We've had at least one dog every single day of my life, as i'm 44 now that means there has been some pretty fantastic dogs, dogs i consider mates.
Gotta say though Bella is the best dog we've had.
Wow!! Those EYES look Turquoise.They are beautiful,they almost don't look real! I hope his new Home is conducive for his energy level!
Nice pictures,nice pooch!! MY Dog also has an Italian Name, his name is Capo! Capo means "Chief/Boss/President in Italian,Bella means Beautiful In Italian!
Are you an Italian living in beautiful Greece? I have a lot of relatives in Italy..they live forever! 103 is the record so far with a Great Uncle 102!
He/She[?] looks very serious and Philosophical! I am guessing a Male?!
I think Capo and I saw Roxy when we hiked from Valley Forge to the Art Museum!! lol!
You did a nice thing for your Pooch! You cared enough and did the right thing.Yes, it took us 2 months to find the right owner. They have 8 acres, pole barn left open for when he's outside. But there's usually someone around (retired couple) to keep him busy in the home. Plus they already had another 2-year old Aussie. Perfect setup for Toby! Definitely a bittersweet moment, but I know he's having a blast. Toby was about 9 months old when we gave him away. I never thought it would be so hard but after all the training and bringing him up from 8 weeks really builds a strong bond.
Basically, we just wern't home enough for him. He did fine in his crate, but it didn't seem right since we were always coming and going with work and running errands. Maybe something like a Golden Retriever in the future after we have our first kid soon.
Cool!! we are only 10 miles apart! I will PM you!Roxy is a 12 year old female, she snores like a football player. We share a CPAP machine. Let's meet King of Prussia !
E-A-G-L-E-S !!!!!!!!!
This is my current pack... :santa: They are all English Bulldogs except Gracie - she's a French Bulldog.
Happy Ho-Ho-Ho!
