Gotta find one that will take us.
My son came home with this little loaded pistol the other day. Named him Ranger and has a lot of the same colors of Phx and about 10 weeks old. Said Ranger is supposed to be a Shep-Lab mix. I aint buying it. Lol. If she had cattle dog ears he would be like Phx mini-me.

Phx is putting up with him pretty well but her schedule is all screwed up now and she is def schedule oriented.

We've not had a fur baby for many years. When Dixie passed away we felt we needed a break. Both Hunter and Dixie were part of our family growing up and many people here had their pups. We're just not ready yet for the attention we need to give. We've always had Labs, I'm not sure we will go that route this time but you never know, our neighbor is a breeder, so might be had to say no to another Lab. I'd really like to have something to help with the bears. LOL

There are a few breeds. Some are not legal for residency at Islander, all are big and will need space we don't have when we are in Havasu. Small dogs are out. The Eagles and all the other predators up here will use a small dog for a snack. Maybe next summer will make the commitment. For now the kids loan us their dogs from time to time.

Always wanted one of these big boys......Not many around but saw one in the channel in LHC about 3-4 years ago. Could not believe the size of the paws. Wonder if one of these would be good :)

Oh, to get those pictures was a pain in the ass. Taken with a film camera and developed at Costco and put on a CD. This was like back in 2000 or 01. My computers no longer recognizes that format. Had to fire up and 15 year old lap top. Get that online and email myself the pictures.

Good looking pup. They’re an awesome breed. Ton of personality.

Wading pools for your dog - Our Newf had a plastic pool in our backyard. She’d use it a little bit. When having a backyard party we’d put goldfish in her pool. That kept her occupied throughout the party. But, every time she caught one she would have to bring it over and show everybody.

I got one...lost our 13 year old a few months ago. Brutally hard. We did nothing for a bit and realized we are dog people and house was too quiet, boring, lonely.
So I found Mrs RR this pup.
Another corgi, just different colors

Thought I would post a link to a free German shorthaired pointer for anyone who hasn’t seen the story. Still looking for a home.

Mods, if this is a violation of the rules or whatever if it bothers somebody, please remove it or I can remove it however that works.

Fee sleeping thru a rain storm. We knew it was coming, just chose boating over being stuck in the living room all day. Had the top up and was ready. Only lasted about 15 minutes. Got 6 hours on the lake out of it. IMG_1037.jpeg
