Charlie is spoiled rotten! I just really wish I had taken that picture with the FR homepage on the screen, I guess I'll have to find someone who is good with photoshop.
A lot of Beardie Breeders are nervous about this movie, and the effect that it could have on a breed (i.e. puppy mills, imbreeding, etc).
I imagine they're quite happy to have some private land to enjoy. What I wouldn't give to be able to hunt right out my front door! Where you heading, you going fishing for a while? How is your new, old dog doing?
What breed is your dog? He don't look like a collie to me :)
My new old dog is a sweetheart, already spoiled rotten. The front of my house is all glass, and he stands there looking at me through the glass with that huge head and a pitiful look and watches me till I go to bed, with a look on his face saying "Why can't I be in there with you -- I need you."
But he is a male, and, I tried to let him in a few times, but he MARKS his territory, on my furniture, etc. As I am writing this he has been on my deck freaking out because it is storming here, heavy thunder and lightning .
So, I was on the phone with my sister, and felt sorry for him and let him come into my office with me.
Sure 'nuff, first thing he did was pee on everything.
So I had to take him back out. Then clean up his pee.
I can't handle that. That's why I have always had female dogs.
Last week I built him an awesome dog house outside, complete with insulation, everything but
a telephone. But it still makes me feel
awful when I see that big yellow head and big brown eyes looking at me pitiful from outside the window.
I am going to Alabama to attend my niece's wedding, not on a fishing trip. If I had a choice . . . I'd rather be fishing.
I feel MUCH better not having to put my kids (dogs) in a kennel, and I actually feel good about this 11 year old boy having a place to hunt. The look on his face as he was watching my deer herd today was worth a million dollars.
It's a good setup for both of us. That boy's Mom has just harvested a bobcat (along with wild boar, lots of bow-killed deer, and wild turkeys, and I feel real good about them watching my place.
This kid is very polite and sweet. And I respect his mother for going the extra miles to ensure he has the outdoor experiences. They also like to fish, but she ended up with no fishing equipment after the divorce. When this kid saw my fishing equipment, he was astounded!!!!
Hey, I need some fishing partners -- and that boy is fixin' to get a lot of fishing equipment, and time on the water, if I have my way!!!!
I was on another site and came across this. The animal "protectors" would not like this, but this is the reality of nature.
Okay, Hair of the Dog, that 150 pound dog is laying at my feet as I type this. But he can't stay in all night.
I am probably prolonging his agony by giving him these brief moments of comfort at my feet in my warm home.
He is a BIG dog, and he seems to like my Buffalo Springfield music :)
I'm going to play some Jackson Browne CDs for him next.
