Saying hello to a beloved dog

rowech · 03-23-2015, 08:51 PM

My wife is starting to want a new puppy now that it's been six months since we put Callie down. I'm not a dog person but I got to thinking that we have a thread for one end of it, we should have another thread for the other end of it. Not sure if it'll have the same effect for people but figured I would start a thread where people could post/talk about their new dog family members.

great idea.

I'd like to see photos of posters' dogs regardless of whether they're new. Here's mine:

Seriously...haters.

These are our two guys, Hank (top) and Melvin. Hank's a big boy, about 15 lbs, and Melvin is our new one as of November. We got him at about 3 lbs and he's up to probably 7 or 8 now. We added him a bit after putting Hank's brother Leo to sleep (which I posted about here).

They must be that new invisible breed I've been hearing about...

pbot · 12-31-2016, 10:41 PM

Since 2016 has been wiping out celebrities left and right, let's end on a positive note....new dog! He's a rescue, from Texas. We're told he's part Australian Cattle Dog and Lab. Weighs about 20 lbs, and almost died from Parvo virus in October. We adopted him today.

Thomkal · 12-31-2016, 10:45 PM

great way to end the year Pbot! Congrats! what's his name?

pbot · 12-31-2016, 10:59 PM

His name is Watson.

Our other dogs, also rescues, weigh 65lbs and 85 lbs respectively, so it is a bit odd to see such a small dog in the house. Kinda forgot how big the other two really are.

Eaglesfan27 · 12-31-2016, 11:35 PM

Do I still need to upload pics to a web site or can I post a picture of my dog from my computer?

Sweed · 12-31-2016, 11:47 PM

Ending the year with a rescue, nice

Watson is a handsome little fellow

This is Scully.

She's my new dog. I adopted her from a local animal shelter about three weeks ago. She's a six month old shepherd mix of some kind. Animal control picked her up wandering the streets as a stray, so not much is known about her origin.

It took her a few days to adjust and to remember how to be a dog and a puppy, but she's pretty much got that down now. She can be a bit shy, but she's very sweet. She mastered house training within a week, though we still need to work on her excited eliminations whenever I come home after being gone for a bit. While flattering, I would rather it not happen.

She bonded to me really quick. She must be wherever I am at all times. She even keeps poking her head through the shower curtain when I'm in the shower. So far, she's been great with everyone she's met kids and adults.

She's been a pretty great dog so far.

Sweed · 01-04-2017, 05:39 PM

Scully looks and sounds like a real nice dog HB. Good for you adopting her from a shelter.

timmae · 01-04-2017, 06:18 PM

Awesome stuff!! So happy Scully has found a great home!!

Eaglesfan27 · 01-04-2017, 07:23 PM

Here is my Hansel and Gretel (with my daughter Mary) as puppies! This is from late April. They were born during the Super Bowl and we adopted them in April.

Camouflage dogs!

So weird how their eyes changed color.

It is a typical feature of the breed. They start off with very bright blue eyes and usually become golden by adulthood.

pbot · 01-05-2017, 11:04 AM

Two shots for size comparison.

Nittany is the black dog (lab/plott hound mix). Cheyenne is the brindle dog (also lab/plott hound mix...they are biological sisters), and then of course Watson is the white/tan dog (he has a very faint tan coloring on his back).
