Dogs of VolNation and other pets that are inferior to Dogs

So, how big is your pack, now? Age range?

We have 5 dogs. 4 of them are 7-10 years old. One of them, Gus, is 3

Ya.
He’s a great dog but that’s not happening.

That's what we said about Grogu.

That's what we said about Grogu.

Don’t get me wrong…..he’s a great dog but we’ve had as many as 7. 5 is barely manageable. We’re not going back to 6.

I hear you. 5 appears to be our number. Any time we get above or below that it never lasts long.

I turn 55 soon.
I think this is our last run at 5. So I’m enjoying it while it’s here.

they all have their own personalities. If I’m at home this guy, Myke is with me.

We keep saying we are going to have fewer. But it never works out lol. We are now at 4 cat's and 1 normally sized dog though. Went from a 120lb pitty to Grogu. So at least we went down in weight significantly. Maybe my next dog will be a Shih Tzu.

Every time I read “Myke,” I’m reminded of the bridge scene in Saving Private Ryan.

You know who “Myke” is right?

More commonly called “Mykel” in Hebrew.
English “Michael”


Or for our purposes, the guardian angel/ angel of death.

Myke is a Feist Terrier. When we first got him he killed everything in the back yard. Squirrels, chipmunks, lizards, frogs. The worst was a family of rabbits. It was a mass casualty event.

I just got the wind knocked out of me.

Sweet Genevieve. My fiancees pup.... She had just went to the groomer. Hard to believe she's a year old. Once upon a time, she was a tiny pooch with a ball of energy. Now, she's a bit bigger and just the same. She was excited to see me...

This Malki, he is a 12 week old Bernese Mt. Dog that I am training. He is working on down and stay. I think he's got it. What do you think?

 

[slobberknocker]

Anyone own a Catahoula?

Did you tell her that if you were in Chihuahua, Mexico 500+ years ago, she would be food? HBD, ya little snack.

Malki is cute. Will grow up to be a big fella, eh?

Nora has started to jog a little. I'm not pushing her, just letting her set the pace. She's tired now!

Oh, he is going to be bigger than normal if he grows into his feet. They are huge. He should out weigh his owner by about 40 lbs. She is smart enough to know she needs to get control of him before he reaches adulthood.

We set up a play date for Malki and Luna today. Socializing a dog is vitally important. Luna brought Malki out of his shyness.

Well, he certainly seems to contradict the usual omg narrative of the Big Snip.

Happy birthday, Jack! (That’s a gorgeous hound you’ve got there.)

 

[volmanjr]

Thanks. Yeah when I picked him up it was like he never had them to begin with.
