Another pic of my fur-bearing friend. Wearing a jacket I got for him in some Black Friday deal. $10, and it packs up in a tiny stuff sack.

What a baby!

Bobbi, Rocky, and Lillian Gish, the doggies in my avatar pic are all in heaven now. I still miss them, treasure them and think of them often.

Thanks. He's a never ending joy. Like a kid except he doesn't grow up to be a pain in the posterior  wink777

Meet our newest addition. Dana is now renamed Dixie and it suits her. She's a loving sweet 8 pounds. Hank and Harriet are a tad jealous, but they were the new kids once upon a time.

All your babies are so delightful. Isn't it wonderful to have dogs underfoot all the time?! I can't imagine a household without a dog. I remember back in the 80s when I had to put my baby girl down, I just couldn't make myself go home after work. My heart was so broken, I was tentative about loving another dog. Yet, that was exactly what I needed. When I finally figured that out, I rescued my first poodle. Instead of avoiding coming home after work, I couldn't wait to get home. I think I exceeded a few speed limits to get home as quickly as I could!

Despite the pain of losing a baby, I can't live without them. Having multiple dogs helps.

They know where the garden is, but they also know they're not allowed and they don't take things that aren't offered to them anyway.

Your dogs are obviously well trained.

Quote
Training a Great Pyrenees isn’t like training most dogs — they aren’t necessarily “eager to please”. While a Golden Retriever may do what you say because you said so, a pyr won’t be so likely.
...

I cannot express how important patience is when training a Great Pyrenees. Pyrs do what they want on their own time. Don’t be surprised if your pyr takes ten or fifteen seconds to follow the command you asked for.
...

A continuation of “be patient” is to be confident. A Great Pyrenees will challenge you. They are independent dogs that were bred to do their job without humans. That instinct doesn’t disappear in pet pyrs.

...

The Great Pyrenees is an extremely sensitive breed, despite their large size and sometimes intimidating demeanor. Hitting, screaming, alpha rolling, or other similar behavior will only harm your relationship with your pyr. If your pyr can’t trust you, he certainly won’t want to work with you.
  https://itsdogornothing.com/10-tips-for-training-a-great-pyren 
Alll of which is why  Atticus is my dog.  My husband likes the "eager to please" and "instant obedience" sort of dog.  He's never had the patience to work out a relationship with Atticus.   I would describe Atticus as compliant rather than obedient.  They are a challenge as a pet, which is why so many get dumped as adolescents.

I sort of envy you your well trained dogs, but I wouldn't  trade what Atticus is for well trained.

Perfect.  I buy a new box of ornaments at the sales every year to replace the ones the cats have broken.  Cats are going to bat ornaments off the tree sure as the sun rises and sets.

My dog does the same thing, but with his tail.

LOL. This is our first Christmas with the dog, although we've had a cat for past Christmas. My wife is terrified that the dog will eat her ornaments. She delayed decorating the tree, and when she finally did, it looks like this:

Hah, the bad part with my dog is that he's short tailed, so he purposely has to back himself up against things to thump them with his tail.  We knew he liked thumping doors and the curtains in the bedroom, but the tree is new this year.

With our first Shorthair we came home one evening and found a glass ball crashed on the floor at the front door.  I checked his mouth for cuts and discovered the red paint from the ornament stuck all over his teeth.  So he pulled it off to play with it and probably had a grand time flinging it around the room for himself until it hit the tile at the front door and broke.
