Spygirl | Sunday, December 14, 2003 - 02:19 pm     I put this one in my folder, too, but here is a shot (through the screen door, unfortunately) of Toby making yellow snow!

Juju2bigdog | Sunday, December 14, 2003 - 04:32 pm     Yay yellow snow!!! Errrrrr, except ON the porch. Errrrr, well ... better the porch than the living room. And Luvster, excuuuuuuuse me, but doesn't butt sniffing go hand in hand with courtship. Errrrr, nose in tail, errrrrrr ... never mind. |
Egbok | Sunday, December 14, 2003 - 06:33 pm     I just showed Oscar how Toby makes yellow snow. Unfortunately for Oscar, he didn't hang around any other boy doggies, only girl doggies and well...he squats. |

Lostintheglades | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 04:55 am     lol Eggie...poor Oscar...My dogs don't know how to make yellow snow either...shoot...they may mistake it for carpet and bust a gut trying to hold it all winter...sheesh. Spy....they are sooooo cute....don't lose them in all that white stuff. |
Sasman | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 06:10 am     I often have my dad walk Jack if we're out for the day. When we first got Jack he often squatted instead of lifting. So when I called dad to check if he walked him, he would say every time 'damn dog pees like a girl!' Well dw and I would then be the ones peeing!!!! |
Lostintheglades | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 08:09 am     LOL Sas....I love Jack!!! What a personality he has! |
Yankee_In_Ca | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 10:54 am     What cutie-pie doggies -- Shannon, Henry, Toby. So cute! (P.S. -- Sas, my JRT doesn't lift his leg either. Never has. Not once. At least he doesn't mark!) |
Egbok | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 10:56 am     Awww...Sas and Yankee, you just made Oscar's day! |
Twinkie | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 11:17 am     Awwwww what cute babies you all have! Spy, I want to pinch Toby and Henry's faces they are so cute! If you ever need a dog sitter count me in! But you might have trouble getting them back. |
Wargod | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 11:30 am     Dang, I had this post typed out then closed the window, LOL. Eggie, your Oscar and my girley Riley should get together and teach each other their tricks. Riley lifts her leg to pee, lol. Spy, those poor pups look like their going to sink in the snow, LOL. Little Henry would only need a few inches to disappear, lol. It was 29 degrees out this morning when I opened the door to let Harv and Riley out. Closed it behind them and then opened it about a minute later and they were huddled together in the same spot they had started in, shivering. I haven't been able to get either one of them to go out since then. I'm wondering how long it will be before they are begging to be let out or they explode from holding it in! |
Sasman | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 12:03 pm     The other funny thing is that Jack mostly does lift his leg but usually not with my dad; I think Jack is just playing with him! |
Lostintheglades | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 01:54 pm     LMAO Sas...I was gonna ask you that in my first post...the thought did cross my mind that he knew it bothered your dad... |
Tagurit | Thursday, December 18, 2003 - 05:38 am     I just love everyone's doggie pictures and stories! They are all great! I need some advice/input. Our pup is just over a year old. We have had him since he was 5 weeks old. All he has known is our family and house. Jake is a mixture of lab and hound. Anyway, any time we have someone come over, Jake goes beserk. He barks, cries and whimpers. I think he believes he is "protecting" the family. His hair is never up on his back nor does he ever show teeth. He actually loves the attention. Only problem is that when they are petting him, he is still crying and whining! We have tried letting him just go up to the people to sniff them out to figure all was ok. Doesn't work. We have tried rewarding him for not causing a commotion. He'll start up 2 minutes later. What he'll do is calm down but if that person ever moves (ie - to the bathroom, kitchen etc) he starts all over again. He is only happy if they sit still in one spot. We have even sent him out to the backyard. It just has all our neighbors knowing we have company. lol My aunt and cousin were staying at my mom's and I brought him over there to feel them out. He didn't bark as much when they came to our house but would bark when they moved. The only person he immediately stopped for was my brother who came for a very short visit. Jake was doing his usual but brother knelt down. As soon as Jake sniffed his beard, he completely stopped and wanted my brother's attention. (My brother has a moustache no one around here does. We thought maybe Jake thought my brother was one of them! lol) I just received an email from my best friend stating that if weather is ok they will be coming down and staying for 3 days. They have a 1 year old daughter. What am I going to do?!?!? I would feel horrible if Jake scared their daughter from all the noise. Do I send him to my mom's or send my guests to my mom's? |
Luvmyjrt | Thursday, December 18, 2003 - 06:34 am     Tag -- Have you tried a bone or chewy for when others come over? Jack may be feeling insecure and when Maggie was younger, she loved her crate. (Still does, sometimes) It's her safe place where Shannon, the border collie can't get to her. You might want to try that so he feels secure ...... just an idea. Otherwise, if the visitors are dog friendly, I'd probably let them carry the dog to wherever they are going if they are agreeable. Something to consider. Also, if it is not mad, just being annoying, we've had success with a few pennies placed in a soda can (empty, of course) and shaken when a non-desirable behavior is exhibited. It gets to the point where if you leave a soda can around the house, the dog eyes it nervously, but gets the message! Good luck! |
Tagurit | Thursday, December 18, 2003 - 07:16 am     Luvmyjrt - thanks for responding. We have tried chewies and rawhide. We have even tried the company give the chewies/treats to him. He'll take it from them but has a muffled whine then. lol My cousin just told me about the pennies in a can. I'll have to see how that goes. As for my company picking Jake up and carrying him around, he is 76lbs. I'd be paying for their back surgery. lol |

Luvmyjrt | Thursday, December 18, 2003 - 09:41 am     Tag-- editing my suggestion to say "Have Jake pick up your company and carry them around!" |
Julieboo | Friday, December 19, 2003 - 07:04 am     Another attempt at posting my pups...

Rabernet | Friday, December 19, 2003 - 04:08 pm     Hi everyone! I'm "new" here in that I've been here about three years (TVCH) but mostly lurk. It's just recently that I've started posting here and there. Found this thread and had to share a picture (or two) that I snapped this morning of my kitty, Chynna and my dear sweet dog, Diamond. I got up and came out the living room and this is how I found them. They love to tease each other during the day (Chynna will prance by knowing that Diamond can't resist trying to play with the kitty. Then Diamond will poke her a few times with her nose, and Chynna will flop down on her side and start batting Diamond on the nose). So, this scene this morning showed me how much they really do love each other! Robin

Scootersmom | Friday, December 19, 2003 - 04:16 pm     Oh my gosh! They're beautiful! Chynna looks like my Hazel kitty. Diamond looks so sweet |
Lucy | Friday, December 19, 2003 - 04:21 pm     Rabernet, Glad you joined in on the fun! You have beautiful fur babies...they even match!! Please post more pictures for us whenever you can!! |
Rabernet | Friday, December 19, 2003 - 04:27 pm     Thank you Scootersmom and Lucy! I have another kitty named Tyranny who isn't amused when Diamond tries to play. She actually trained Diamond when she was a puppy to leave the kitty food alone (a few bloody noses from the scratches and she learned! LOL). Chynna is 13 years old, Tyranny is 12 and Diamond is the baby at 4 years old. Robin |
Mygetaway | Friday, December 19, 2003 - 04:27 pm     Awww.. Diamond reminds me of our dog Brandy that passed away last year.. What cuties! |
Rabernet | Friday, December 19, 2003 - 04:45 pm     My, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved Brandy. I lost my college kitty, Shasta last December. I still miss him. He loved Diamond too and helped "raise" her! We think Diamond is a shepard/golden retriever mix. She definitely has the personality and body type of a golden (her paws are webbed too and she is a big water dog). Is that what you think Brandy was? Robin |
