Wait...I haven't told you the stories of the 4 dogs (Tippy, Phoebe, Christie, and Ginger) and three cats (Arthur, Snickers, and Hobo) I've lost during my life so far. %-P Rick
 
Yin and Yang, Oldspark.! Sweet and sour... the best flavors of life are contrasting. The delight in a new puppy and its path to maturity (Badfish's Hank!) and the bittersweet shots of elderly or departed companions, that's what pets are all about.

And yeah, there are some really great shots on this thread.
 
Here is a few more:

Transformer dog, I can increase my size 3X :)

Is this the "show me your TPLO scar" thread? Became an expert on this last week when Cooper got his knee fixed. Recovery period is excrutiating for a herding dog who is used to running all day. No stairs for 3 months. Leash walking only for 3 months. Ugh. But he hasn't needed the elizabethan collar. Amazing what we do for our pets.

We are about 8 weeks out from TPLO. Still on the leash. Steps are OK a couple times a day. Keeping a herding dog down must be like keeping a a Lab from playing ball. He has gotten much better at laying down at our feet when on the front porch. He had Xrays taken two weeks ago. Doc says the bones have healed very nicely so we are now into the "rehab". Longer and longer leash walks and should be off the leash around Labor Day. All we have to do now is finish paying for it all. :shut:
 
Our vet said the dog can move about the room at will. I thought he might be crated, but no. I wish we were 8 weeks into it, this is a lot of work.
 
My boys ( Rusty -7 yrs & Cody 10 Yrs )

Too cool. Thanks again. My dad was pretty ill and getting worse (as opposed to the other serious health issues he's had for 17 yrs) and what's better than pets to lift spirits?

He passed away a week ago today. He had an ugly, but cute little Japanese Chin dog that saved his life by detecting a heart attack 5-6 yrs ago.
 
My sincere condolences, AP. :shut:
 
So sorry to hear that, AP.

Thinking of you and yours.
 
AP, Sorry to hear about your Dad!!

Dogs are amazing. We got our Cody as a therapy dog for my wife after cancer surgery back in 2000. They are joined at the hip and his presence in her life has meant more than anyone could ever ask for. They are totally tuned into each other emotionally and after his tplo surgery in 2008 she had a recurrence and they together helped each other recover. They are so lucky to have each other. We got Rusty as a companion dog for Cody and he became my little buddy. We have both been lucky enough to stay healthy.

Great idea for a thread!!
 
So sorry for your loss. I'm sure you four legged friends will do their best to help you through.
 
AP, I'm very sorry to learn of your father's death. Regardless of circumstances, it's just plain hard. Be kind to yourself when you're feeling low.
 
I too am sorry to hear about your dad Adios . . .

One cow dog. This old girl had the knee surgery about 5 years ago.

This is my girl, Casey. Named after the tractor company, because my fiancee wouldn't let me namer her Massey and Farmall-ey didn't have a great ring to it.

Yeah, she's pretty crazy like most calico/tortoiseshell cats are. Very affectionate though.
 
My kids, my dogs and me. Annie is the black/brown one and Zack is the big white fella.

is Zack a Pyrenees?

Terry

They are brother and sister actually. Annie is very much a collie and Zack is all about being a husky/goofy lab mix. A friend of mine brought home a dog from the SPCA to find out she was pregnant. I took 2. Vet said that a litter of pups can have more than one Dad? Apparently she was running around the neighborhood for a while before being caught. Annie is a great dog, best I have ever owned. Zack is a pain in the butt, but so darn goofy and cute you can't help but love him.
