We've got 2 great labs....

Marley is a yellow lab...7 years old now

Luke just turned 1 year old...black lab


We lost our 13 year old chocolate lab last year and replaced her with Luke. My dad has a 1 year old female black and I think we're going to breed them this spring once she hits her 2nd heat.

Should be a lot of fun.

We had a black lab for 10 years and currently my wife has a Japanese Chin. If you can call a Chin a dog.

Our lab's name was Ryan, after Clancy's character Jack Ryan. I was reading Sum Of All Fears at the time we got him. As a puppy he lived up to the title. We never knew what we would home to.

He chewed all the couch cushions once. He chewed carpets, doors, wires. We lost countless socks and knee highs that he ate. He ate half of an empty soda can...was pooping shards of aluminum for weeks. The vet did x-rays and said there was nothing they could see and said he was free of any metal. Well one evening about two months after his metallic snack he coughed up two very dull looking quarter sized pieces of aluminum.

Once after have a game of fetch, his favorite pastime, we came in to rest and I noticed that he appeared to be chewing a small twig that I thought he probably had brought in with him. When I grabbed the twig it wouldn't budge and his paw came with it. It turned out it was a rusty 16 penny nail right through his dew claw...he never whimpered. The vet was amazed. He never even bled. She said there is a decent size vein that runs through the dew claw and could not believe he wasn't bleeding profusely. When we got back home he just want to run some more.

I had to put Ryan down on April 12, 2002. To this day it has been the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. I just held his head against mine and kept telling him to go fetch that bone as they put him down.

To this day he has been the best friend I have ever had in my life and I sincerely mean that. Outside of my wife and kids I've never had someone love me with such pure and unconditional love.

I could never have another one after Ryan. The wife got another dog last year, the Chin. And that is exactly how he is referred too...her dog. Don’t get me wrong, his a good dog, but he ain’t mine.

Sail on Ryan. No one will ever replace you.

Very nice.....I had a beautiful dal....she was an absolute princess
She's waiting at the bridge.....

We have two Jack Russell Terriers.....or jack russell TERRORS as they usually get called.....wonderful bundles of CONSTANT energy!!

I don't have dogs...but my keets sure do!
Mollie has Penelope Rose who is 5. She's a buff and white cocker spaniel and she's a total wuss...except to squirrels. Then she becomes bad a$$ doggy! She's very mild manored and allows Mollie to dress her in hats and scarfs.

Jim has a tri colored beagle who was 2 in September. Ms. Savannah Jane (WELL! What ELSE would Jimmy name his daughter??) was 8 weeks old when we got her and she knew from the first moment she was Jimmy's dog. She sleeps with him and when he leaves for school, she wanders around whimpering and looking for him. Wish me luck, after 3 weeks home for Christmas break, they go back tomorrow.

I had a male tri-colored beagle too. Fritz was 2 when we got him in 1991. He had full blown heart worms and had been shot by a hunter. Well, needless to say, he "retired" with me in Jax Beach and was back to health in no time. He was Jim's dog but whole heartedly, he was mine. Hubby and I woke on June 7, 2004 to find he had drifted off in the night. I cry today thinking about him. He was my old man and I loved him DEARLY. Sixteen years was all he could do and the last few were really rough.

Realize long before you adopt a furry child that they are etched SO deeply in your heart. I can pick either of my girls up and say "Now be the baby" and she will lay her head on my shoulder and snuggle. It's too cute.

Here's my evil, sneaky dog, plotting his next evil move (but he's my big, spoiled baby)

part german shepherd, part collie, and just a little bit of dalmatian

Don't have any dogs myself, but I am the aunt to two goldens, two yellow labs, and a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.

What wonderful looking puppies!!


(can you tell I'm a dog, not a cat, person? )

Two Maltese...this one's Kona..(tear stains have since been trimmed)



This one's Tege



Total combined weight...14 pounds...

Looks like two big lumps of white fluffy babies to me, Breezer!

One of the few things I love as much as dogs are people who SPOIL their dogs. (AND cats).

Kona's pic was taken a couple of weeks ago when it was around 40 degrees here...forgot to turn on the heat when I left for work and when I came home he was shakin' like a leaf...

Had to pull out the quilt and wrap him up...
