This started here. I figured it merited it's own thread for the dog-loving FReeper crowd. Post pic's of your pup here!
And the sign in the last picture.
OK, I confess. It's not really my dog, but he's so damned ugly that I can't help but like the picture.
Another great FR dawg thread! It's wonderful to know that there are many, many other ditzy dog lovers out there!
For some reason, I cannot see the pics of Paddy and Sasha. Neither can I see them any longer on the thread where you first posted them, although I could once. I hope it's just me and that others can see them.
Paddy and Sasha are chomping at the bit to get back on the trail. We've all been housebound for a week while Paddy's paw heals after a pad was split by some cruel ice.

Words by Neil Peart
In a dog's life
A year is really more like seven
And all too soon a canine
Will be chasing cars in doggie heaven
It seems to me
As we make our own few circles 'round the sun
We get it backwards
And our seven years go by like one
Dog years --- It's the season of the itch
Dog years --- With every scratch it reappears
In the dog days
People look to Sirius
Dogs cry for the moon
But these connections are mysterious
It seems to me
While it's true that every dog will have his day
When all the bones are buried
There is barely time to go outside and play
Dog years --- It's the season of the itch
Dog years --- With every scratch it reappears
Dog years --- For every sad son of a bitch
Dog years --- With his tail between his ears
I'd rather be a tortoise from Galapagos
Or a span of geological time
Than be living in these dog years
In a dog's brain
A constant buzz of low-level static
One sniff at the hydrant
And the answer is automatic
It seems to me,br> As well make our own few circles 'round the block
We've lost our senses
For the higher-level static of talk
The real "Sparky" the fire dog.
I'll see your Patron Saint of Leftovers and raise you one Ancient, Very Spoiled Human with Two Extra Legs. ;-)

My Zulu went 14 years without aging whatsoever. I was beginning to think she was some kind of alien spy-droid. But this year at 15 she has become an old dog, still doing well, but doing it slower.
Well, that's the unfortunate thing about Webshots sometimes. The pic is still at that URL, but for some reason it does not always appear. And others may or may not be able to still see it. I don't know why.
Sometimes you can get it to appear if you right click and select "show picture"
If that doesn't work, right click and select "properties", then select the URL and right click "copy"... If you paste that URL into your browser address bar, you will get the picture, Then click "Back" and return to the thread, it will be in its place.
A hassle. If you just want to imagine it, I chose the one where they are playing tug-of-war in the snow.
Poor Paddy's pad! - What a nuisance!
Long enough to snap the picture!!
NowI can see also those other dog pics that I was missing before. Love them all. And love the love behind all the pictures.
