Dog "lover" is probably too strong. Tillie was a surprise gift from my wife's parents for my daughter's 4th birthday, now almost 7 years ago. We cohabitate. She is all elbows, is very sweet, not at all gentle, and has no idea she weighs 60 pounds. She is a nose with a dog attached.

Peter, I like that picture very much.

Since we're on the topic...

We were taking care of a dog for some friends a couple weeks ago while they wee out of town. Our schedules didn't mesh completely -- we needed to be at my sister's place for a few days at Christmas and she didn't want an extra dog coming -- so we arranged to drop the dog off at a boarding place for a few days in the middle. The dog, Nico, didn't know us very well so he was pretty aloof most of the time, but he started to relax by the time we needed to drop him off at the boarding place.

The day we needed to board him, my wife first took him on a long hike with our dog, then delivered him to the boarder. The next morning, our dog Sunny starting barking like there was someone at the door. When my wife checked to see who was there, Nico was waiting there with his tail wagging and let himself in.

The amazing thing is that the boarding place is about 5 miles away form our house, and there were quite a few busy streets to cross in between. My wife was quite touched that he wanted to get back to us so badly. Dogs -- what are they thinking?

I took Jake on a hike up to the top of Mt. Bishop here in San Luis Obispo.

Hey all.

My wife and I recently got a new puppy. She's a golden retriever and is about 10 weeks old at this point.

She fell off the bed about a week ago and broke her little leg. She should be out of her cast in about another week. She about as cute as they come (but then again, I'm a little biased...)

Thanks, Mark...

We (my wife and I, that is) have been taking more pictures than we know what to do with - we're both treating her like a new-born. But what's the point of getting a puppy if you're not going to spoil her, right?

Well, yeah, but remember too that spoiled puppies turn into spoiled adult dogs and then you end up with the type of photos I started the thread with...!

She sleeps in bed with my wife and I - I think I'm beyond being warned at this point. I'm pretty much into it for a full share.

well, being that you live on the 3rd floor, who gets to take her out for the 3am potty break?
