Heres mine at 1 yr old.  On her 1st camping trip last fall.  And yesterday afternoon.  Her name is Zuzu, she is a (scary smart) Blue Heeler and turned 3 this past Valentines Day. She has turned into one fine dog.

Nice looking dog. Here's some pics of my beast, a pit (Am Staff/Lab mix). Sunny is in the front, leading my sister's dog (a South African Boerboel) across a lawn.  Here she is a little bit unsure of what's happening off-camera to the right.  Here, she's snoozing on the floor.

GREAT looking dogs! I especially like this part of one of the pics.  HAPPY DOG! Peter Thats the Mastiff right?? My XGF had a Bull Mastiff that was/is a fantastic dog. I think he weighed 150lbs and was as tall as me when he would do this stand up trick and put his paws on my shoulders. He was a good dancer too.  Really nice job on the pics Adam. Edit I see now thats it isnt a Mastiff. Dont know why I thought I read that.

He's basically a mastiff on steroids. He's a big goofball, actually. He and Luna make good playmates outdoors, but whenever she's over at his place, he has this need to exert his dominance indoors and it pisses Luna off. One of these days he's going to get a nice snap on the nose.

We had a German Short Hair when I was growing up.
He was the sweetest dog ever. Wouldnt hurt a fly but was scared to death of water.
We had rescued him and couldnt come up with a good name.
He ended up answering to "Boy".

Well then, here are some skinny dogs to even things out.   Zoe & Mia, our Italian Greyhounds. They're like greyhounds, only smaller (about 10 pounds each). Funny thing is, people who see them either think they're cute or butt-ugly. Nothing in between.

All dogs are cute. Especially the butt-ugly ones. Some dogs are gorgeous or handsome in addition to being cute, though.

I found one more to post too. My dog, Ollie has shorter hair in this one. He is with my parents dogs, Dillon and Lacy. Sadly, Dillon had to be put down back in November. Dillon is a Wheaten Terrier. Lacie is a Havenese (2nd one on this thread), and Ollie is a Cockapoo.

Wow Lacie looks totally different than my Havanese. I would never have guessed. My guy is a real outdoors type of Havanese. Loves to run, chew (he actually chewed the baseboards in my kitchen) and basically do anything that involves mischief...he's quite the acrobat actually.

She's the opposite. Doesn't play much and can be a bit of a grumpy old lady when Ollie is around. She's submissive as well, with some bladder control issues.

I liked it as well, but I was disappointed that the trailers and ads gave away so many of the jokes. The deleted scenes were as good or better than the movie because of their freshness ...

A guy walks into a bar with a little yellow long-nosed, short-legged dog under his arm.
"That's one ugly dog", says another guy, while petting his Doberman.
"Heh",says the yellow dog guy, "but he's a mean little devil."
"That so?", says the doberman owner, "I'll bet $20 my Doberman will whip your dog in less than two minutes!"
The guy agrees and they put their dogs face to face. Each gives the command to attack. In the twinkling of an eye the little yellow dog bites the Doberman in half. The Doberman's owner is crying and cussing, and screams "What kind of dog is this?"
"Well" says the guy, "before I cut off his tail and painted him yellow he was an alligator."

I've yet to see Borat... but Raph's looking a bit worn out in that pic... it's egg-laying season... poor girl's been through a lot. Fortunately, we've only witnessed her actually laying once... but it's reminiscent of a C-5 Galaxy being loaded through the nose. Bren R.

Bren, cool turtle, love the coloring!
The pink-y red has been a new addition to her colour scheme since she came of reproductive age.
Not bad for starting out life the size of a nickel... she's now the size of a small dinner plate and lives in a 70 gallon tank in the rec room.
She's also of a species that has no actual life expectancy, they die only of injury or illness, I don't remember the $10 word for it, but she could well outlive me. Kind of neat to share your living space with a direct dinosaur descendant... especially one with the brain the size of a pea that still maintains quite a unique personality.

Bijou is a Budgerigar Parakeet. Besides that he is a published prop. One of the studios I work at often had bought him for a prop to appear in a Brookstone catalog. When the photo shoot was over they thought they could just let him go and he would be fine. He wouldnt have lasted the night in the wild in the dead of winter. Soooo..... I decided to take him home. I had another Parakeet when I was young so I already knew a bit about them. They make GREAT pets if given a little attention. Bijou (for the most part) flys the house as he pleases but usually sticks close to his cage. He LOVES music. His favorite artists are Elvis and Johnny Cash. Really! I discovered that while watching "I Walk The Line". Every time Johnny or Elvis would sing, Bijou would go crazy bobbing his head and flying around me from shoulder to shoulder. He'll get in his cage when I tell him and ring his bells on command. He also loves taking a bath under the kitchen faucet standing on the sink divide with a small stream of water flowing on him. Great pet!

Is he trained to only use his cage to relieve himself? I hope so if you let him fly around the house. If he is, I didn't know you could train birds to do that.

I didnt train him to just use his cage, but that seems to be where he enjoys reading the paper the most.
Every once in a while I have to clean up a little bird doo elsewhere.
