Nice story
Dobie ping.

eight stinkin’ seconds.
That's how long it'll take one of those evil assault dogs
to savage a bus load of grannies and innocent little kids!
Oh heck, I was channeling Chet there...
*dismissive sniff* If you’d actually read the article like I did, I would have beat you...
Cute story... pro-dobie propaganda.. not all dogs are mean, not all dogs are nice..
Thank you so much for posting that piece. Like the author, I had — and lost — a Doberman after many wonderful years of loving companionship. It has not been five years since Baron left, and I still tear up at the thought of losing him.
No friend could have been more loyal. No “son” more loving. No companion more faithful.
I often think that when I die, the first sight I want to see on Heaven’s celestial shores is Baron bounding toward me, tail wagging, eyes filled with love, his entire being resonating the unique bond I “have loved long since and lost a while.”
Loveable doggy bump
Dog is God spelled backwards.....A dog is one of God’s greatest gifts to Mankind. I always have a brace of pointers about the house........They make any house... a home.
I am a pretty experienced dog owner, particularly the working breeds (3 dobermans, 2 german shepherds, currently a belgian malinois). These dog breeds are meant to be constant companions, protectors, work partners, etc. Sometimes I think the main contribution of pets is that they remind you that there is a cycle to life. My older German Shepherd recently left us after being weak enough that for a month I had to carry her outside to do her duty, then carry her to lie next to the bed at night. About a week before she died, we in the living room watching TV and looked up and she came staggering in, barely made it and lay down with her head on my feet. It was the first time she had walked on her own for about a week, and she just made a super effort to be with us. She left us and we now have an energetic Belgian Malinois puppy. The cycle of life makes another circle.
We had our sons English Bulldog at the vet the other day and it dawned us that we had lost our beloved Dobie almost exactly a year ago in November. Same vet. We rescued her from a stake and chain when she was 1. She had never ridden in a car before. She howled almost the entire ride home in glee. We took her to obedience training and she became my wife’s best friend. For 10 years she was the best thing that ever happened in this house other than the birth of our son.
Last November we took her to the vet after running back and forth for a year trying to diagnose her weight loss. $700 later they found a huge malignant growth and it was inoperable. She died in my arms and those of my wife. We would not let her go alone. We owed her that. She was our only daughter.
She is missed. Keep a look out for a young female dobe that needs a fenced in yard for us. Thanks
Thanks guys.
I’m sittin’ here bawlin’ like a damn fool, now.
When I die, I -pray- I will be knocked flat by about 15 of those dogs within 3 seconds of walking through the Pearly Gates.
[if I’m not, I just might turn around and walk out to find out where *they* went and go join them]
“one of those evil assault dogs”
Odin’s fully automatic but I have an open carry permit.
[and boy, does my back ever hurt]...;]
“She is missed. Keep a look out for a young female dobe that needs a fenced in yard for us. Thanks”
Have you tried petfinder? I was able to find 686 female dobes (all ages; some purebred, some mixed breeds) on their site.
You might try Petfinder or your state (or region’s) doberman rescue.
I have an unintentional cross of a Dobie and a Belgian Malinois who will be one year old next month. Absolutely every living, breathing creature is her best friend. But, oh my, the energy! It is impossible to wear her out.
