I’ve hunted with guys who had Brits. They don’t have the muscularity or passion of Shorthairs (IMO) but they were very pleasant dogs to hunt over. Smart and affectionate and got along with my dogs very well.

I have a new doe goat, about 14 years old, a La Mancha. She was raised with a Pyrenees Dog and has no fear of dogs, She has been very playful with my Aussie Shephard who is afraid of her, lol! Head butting! Karma is present as my Aussie has been chasing the other goats and sheep for years and is now getting full pay back.

I was curious and found this…
“The LaMancha is a dependable dairy goat, producing quality milk with high butterfat and protein over a long period of time. One of the advantages to the LaMancha breed is they can be milked for two years without being freshened. The LaMancha also has a very positive disposition It is inquisitive and loveable, easygoing and cooperative.“

It was hilarious with Raoul staggering, croaking and burping his way around the state performing and impression of Foster Brooks and Miss Sheena, off key, shrieking her lines with a Scottish burr. |

Smart and affectionate and got along with my dogs very well. I miss mine. Rusty was a sweet guy. Softest mouth I have ever found on a dog. I never hunted with him, but he was from a hunting line. So gentle with anything he picked up. He used to hunt squirrels and robins in the back yard. He got one every now and then.😔 |

Had a big laugh this morning. As usual, Lacy chased a squirrel up a tree as she does every morning. This morning though the squirrel ran up the pear tree. He was sitting on a limb chewing on a pear and showering Lacy with pear bits as she sat under him barking her head off.

Squirrels and rabbits seem to enjoy teasing dogs when they know they can’t get at them.

 Buddy has a new Gig, now when the wife goes to Town to shop, Buddy hitches a ride, wife lowers back windows half way, Buddy sticks his head out enjoying the wind rushing over, she drives down to the Country store, turns around and drops him off in the yard, this has become a ritual, he watches her and knows when she is dressing to shop, One day I told her he ain’t gonna want to get out!😂

It’s wrenching to watch a dear friend go downhill. My buddy Jack is showing his age. He sleeps most of the day, way more than Eli. Often it takes a loud call, repeated, to wake him up to go out or take a walk. He sleeps a lot on the bed in the bedroom. Usually when I come in there he gets up and wants to know what’s going on. Now he doesn’t wake up but sleeps on with his head between his paws, oblivious to my presence. He’s also losing some of his agility and sometimes has trouble with his hind legs, as in getting up from a reclining position. That’s a very bad sign. Comes with the territory, I guess, and I’ve sure been through it many times in the past. But it still hurts to watch it coming on and knowing you can’t do a thing about it except to spoil him and give him the best days you know how to do. Nothing unique here. Doesn’t make it inconsequential, though.

This period of time and watching their decline is almost as bad as loosing them.

If your dog weighed 300 pounds he’d still be your best buddy. If your cat weighed 300 pounds you’d be his lunch. Just sayin’…

Young man down the road, walks a mixed female puppy stops and lets Buddy play, they love each other, he’s a shady character, he’s strapped, no money, working on a trailer fixing it up, his dog doesn’t get but a small cup of dog food a day, has to share his supper with her, wife had a big bag of gravy train Buddy doesn’t like, gave her several hand fulls and poor thing went crazy eating it, he’s a smoker so I gave him a hand full of cigars and a cheap cutter. Bag of dog food was 3/4 full, she put some cans of chili and other food stuff in dog bag, he went away happy. Need to watch him though don’t have a good feeling about him, gonna keep my pistol close.

The last 2 B&B's we've stayed at have had standard Poodles and Schnauzers. Curious, but lovely dogs. I might just end up with a standard Poodle if I'm not closely watched.

Yeah, but as a reluctant cat owner I'd just like to say you never see cats working with the cops.

Reviving the dog thread! Suki. She is a mischievous little gremlin. We love this girl.  Looks just like our Sandy when she was two or three...at five she began to fill out, and we put her on " FAT DOG " food to slim her down. They are way too smart, and mine never bark unless something is wrong, otherwise she tries her best to talk. |
