4. What breed is the one with the red collar?

[Richardo]

5. She's a Jack Russell Terrier

She's also the only one left out of those four.

[yourout]

7. I thought it was a Jack Russell.

We also now have a Walker Coon Hound....Daisy.

There is a long story on how we ended up with a hound dog in the house but she is a sweet relativly quiet dog.

[Skittles]

10. your son is very handsome!

and Daisy - well, it's quite obvious she owns y'all :D

[Mojorabbit]

17. I have one too but he has a bit of something else mixed in

His name is T Bone
This is him when he was two. He is eleven now. One of the most wonderful dogs I have ever had the pleasure to share a home with.


and here is our newest pup. He showed up at the door after crossing six lanes of traffic. We put ads up everywhere with no luck. The vet estimates he is about two years old.



and the love of my life...Chuck


We also have small birds and two rabbits.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

24. Oh hell yes--GO CHUCK!

I have a Congo African Grey as well--they are wonderfully amazing birds, no? :thumbsup:

[Mojorabbit]

32. Yes they are

Mine is eleven and I adore him. He keeps me so entertained. I never know what is going to come out of his beak.

[Skittles]

11. what breed is the one in the front

?

[Richardo]

15. Also a JRT, so we were told.

:crazy:

They can have curly coats, and he certainly had the amped-up personality, but I thought he was a tad big for a JRT. All three were rescues, so we didn't have documentation.

Sadie in the back was a Golden Lab-Chow Mix. The only Chow you could see was the shape of her tail and her black tongue.

[Skittles]

16. all VERY nice-looking dogs

and you are an angel for doing rescues - yes INDEED! :thumbsup:

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. I am so sorry. She is beautiful.

My baby with his baby:


She misses him so much.

[Richardo]

9. What a sweet picture

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. Thank you Richardo

I miss him too much.

Say hello to Waffles and Link who have also crossed the Rainbow Bridge...

14. So hard to loose them.

So sorry for your loss. We just lost the little yorkie last month to kidney disease and we are heart broken. Our other babies are getting old too the dogs are 13 and the cats are 21. Not looking forward to them going but I have enjoyed every day that I have been blessed with them being my pets.

[Boudica the Lyoness]

19. Bless her old heart

looks like she had a good life. I always have a old dog and a younger one. I've never been dogless. I love dogs! I have two Airedales. I'd like to post a funny pic of my Bobby but I don't know how.

[MonkeyFunk]

20. aww, what a sweetie!

I'm so sorry.

[Roon]

21. Sorry about your lost

This is my ex-lover's dog. She is a Border Collie and she's really a sweety. She will bark at a stranger at the door, then she will cry when the stranger leaves. She also likes to herd the cats.

[jgraz]

22. I'm so sorry. Here's a picture of our Tweek, who we lost a 18 months ago

We still miss him

[alphafemale]

23. Here's a poem the vet gave us when we had to put our dear girl Isis to sleep.

The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
then you must do what must be done
For this, the last battle, can't be won.

You will be sad, I understand,
Don't let the grief then stay your hand,
For this day more than all the rest
Your love and friendship stand the test.

We've had so many happy years,
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer so;
When the time comes, please let me go.

Take me where my needs they'll tend
And stay with me, if you can, to the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.

The rest in link.

And here's Isis. She died the day before my daughter went back to college after winter break. My daughter hadn't been home in a year. I really think somehow Isis held on see her again to say goodbye. She was scary smart. I sometimes swore she was telepathic.

25. I'm so sorry to hear this, yourout. Belle is a beautiful girl,

obviously well-loved. :hug: :hug:

[xchrom]

26. i'm so sorry to hear of your loss --

Dear God, you have given us care over all living things; protect and bless the animals who give us companionship and delight, make us their true friends and worthy companions. Amen.



Dear God, protect and bless all beings that breathe, keep all evil from them, and let them sleep in peace. Amen.
--Albert Schweitzer, "Memoirs of Childhood and Youth"


Eternal Spirit, we bring you our grief in the loss of Belle and ask for courage to bear it. We bring you our thanks for Belle who lived among us and gave us freely of her love. We commit our friend and companion Belle into your loving hands. Give us eyes to see how your love embraces all creatures and every living thing speaks to us of your love. Amen.

[Wcross]

31. Rest in peace Belle.

In memory of my lost friend Angel;


I lost her last August, I still have two of her pups to remind me of her every day. The ONLY thing that is bad about living with a dog is when you have to say goodbye.

She was beautiful. RIP puppy.
