My Dog - pet thread

This is my miniature poodle McIntosh (named after the beloved pooch from P.G. Wodehouses' Jeeves and Wooster stories, rather than the amplifier company or the computer manufacturer).

View attachment 205438She is a lot of fun, and quite enjoys music (and doesn't mind me mixing at all hours); the only thing she feels uncertain of is tone sweeps. With tone sweeps she gives me an annoyed look and a whine.

The matching hat is awesome!

The matching hat is awesome!

She is hoping that if she wears production blacks that she can accompany me to work.

Someday perhaps, but first we need a little more training on not jumping on people though... I REALLY should have paid attention when the breeder, who specifically breeds dogs for show, mentioned her dad was a champion jumper. She is 14lb nothing, and we are making eye contact when she jumps.

Sadly, we had to put Maisie to sleep a couple of months ago. RIP Maisie.

We waited a while for the right fury friend to appear (that needed re-homing via rescue) and it turned out to be these young ladies...

Wilma and Jasmine are litter mates (which apparently can brings some challenges as they get older) and are what i'm calling 'multi-poos' (mother is a Maltese-cross, father is a Parti Poodle).

I had to put down my Lacey a few weeks ago. It's a gut punch, for sure.

Maisie's now in my thoughts, too.

I had litter mate Borzoi years ago and litter mate Standard Poodles recently and had zero problems with either. Good luck with these - so totally cute!

We had litter mate English Mastiffs and they were very attached to each other so when the female had to be euthanized the male only lived 3 months-we believe he died of a broken heart. They were both very sweet, gentle dogs that were also attached to us but their bond was unmistakable. So sorry you had to go through that experience-it's so painful every time...

I've just gone thru this thread again, and I think that this is one of my favorites on ASR

My dependents. From the top; Sparky, Herbie, Trixie and Lucy. First 3 are long haired dachshunds. Lucy is a Tibetan Spaniel (aka Tibbies) which requires some explanation because they are very uncommon in this country at least. They were kept by the Tibetan Monks as watchdogs on the walls of monasteries and as companions. Strictly for alerting to danger, there were Tibetan Mastiffs to do the heavy work. They were also given to royalty as gifts. They are also considered one of the oldest breeds with illustrations of Tibbies going back 2000 years. View attachment 205421

We recently lost Sparky, the reddish-brown dachshund at top. He was a 13-year-old rescue. We came home one night, and he was breathing rapidly. He had heart failure, apparently a common problem with older dachshunds, in this case likely due to a heart valve problem and we had to put him down. I miss him terribly, but his health and energy had been declining in the last few months and must admit that I was relieved when his labored breathing ceased, which meant that he was now at peace.

Dexter the Dobermann, all 50 kg (110 lb) of him.

Loves sun bathing, his green ball and German Heavy Metal.

He is intact in case you were wondering what his rear "third leg" was.

They look so different without the ears cropped.

Cropped ears are illegal in NZ. Tail docking wasnt as well but we have now gone all PC/Woke/Cancel Culture so thats out as well.

I think seeing a Dobby with a long tail is more of a shock than normal ears.

It looks too me like he’s giving you the stink eye.

What a great collection of awesome looking dogs. My avatar Rudy, long haired jack russell in his demanding RUB MY BELLY pose. He seems to be oblivious to my loud rock n roll. Sometimes he will leave the room when I turn it up to 11.
