For unvaccinated, we are looking at a winter of severe illness and death — if you’re unvaccinated — for themselves, their families, and the hospitals they’ll soon overwhelm. Sloe Joe Biteme 12/16
I will NOT comply.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

My best friend of 40 years went on vacation.

He's divorced, so his ex-wife took care of their dog, LOLA, for a week.  The dog weighs about 70 lbs.

As she lives in an upper floor loft condo, the dog was apparently unable to maneuver the staircases so she had to actually carry her up THREE flights of stairs to the unit door.

All week.

She returns LOLA when he returns to vacation. and carried the dog up to his front door.

Ronnie opens the door and LOLA immediately runs and sprints upstairs to her bedroom.

Well Hell, someone seems to think I don't have enough crap in my life! The puppy we picked out suddenly got ill and the breeder rushed him to the vet but he couldn't be saved and passed away, funny we never had any physical contact with the puppy but it still hurts. 8888crybaby

Life goes on and we picked another puppy from the litter, a girl, she's seven weeks old and you can tell from her feet she will be a dainty thing no more than 120 pounds or so. We are still set for the 1120 mile cruise next week and hopefully we will miss all the crap happening in Oregon and Washington but I will be amply prepared for trouble.

Kind thoughts and prayers. Foster (number 28-29) Mitzi was spayed yesterday and is a lot of pain. She cried most of the night even with pain meds. She seems better this morning but is still a bit of. She is a Pitti mix and the gentlest soul you would want to meet. Mostly white with a black saddle and some brown and black on the hind end. She was severely abused before we got her and is Heartworm positive.

I’m sorry about the pup. But I’m optimistic about the little girl.
Correction- Big girl, based on her paws after she grows into them.

@verga, I hope Mitzi continues to feel better. Getting fixed does hurt. Do the heart worms hurt her too?

I hope Mitzi feels better soon and treatment for Heartworm is effective before too much damage occurs, damn mosquitoes. I know it sounds wrong, but one of the reasons I initially chose a male because neutering much easier on them. Thank you for the thoughts and prayers.

Yes she looks like she had no problem getting through her thirteen siblings to get to mamma to eat.

They were caught before they became "severe" and she got treatment right away. Because of the treatment we have to keep her for at least 45 days. She is going to be hard to give up, and she will need a very compassionate adopter. She is terrified of EVERYTHING. But has the sweetest disposition. i fell in love with her just looking at her picture.

@verga, I’ve always been a cat person, because I’ve never had a dog, but my sister’s dog is turning me around.

Before all this COVID stuff happened, I was working with my therapist and the state to get a real therapy dog, because the depression I’ve been going through since my friend/fiancé passed has been crippling. Now it’s on hold, but if things ever go back to semi normal again, and I get accepted, I’ve been told I would get a lab.

Labs are amazing, BUT, they  LOVE to walk, and walk, and walk some more. When we had the boys, Jakey would walk for HOURS.

HAHAHA! Another one of those weird life differences @DCPatriot ... I have not lived in a house with a doorbell in nearly 30 years... And while my folks place had a doorbell, we couldn't hear it for most of my life, because it only rings downstairs (and we lived upstairs)...  The whole house is remodeled for decades now, and I guess the doorbell works now, though nobody who belongs there uses it. Just the wayfarer or the salesman. Most folks know to go around back. And we know they are coming no matter which house or door... because the dogs ARE the doorbells.  :laugh:

My cabin never had one, and never will.

Well after five days of frustration on the road, mainly Oregon and Washington we are finally back home with my new best friend to be.

Everyone meet Dixie, she's all tuckered out from sleeping all day while we were driving and then wanting us to play all night because she was wide awake.



I know, not politically correct naming a Schwartz Dixie in the current political sociological climate in America today, which was the first thing my liberal son told us. Well they can all whistle up their.......................


Ok, had her home for almost a week and found that Dixie just doesn't seem to fit, we decide that considering all the smoke we drove thru on the way home to go with Smokey which she seems to like also.

Welcome Dixie! ❤️



I figured out how to reduce a large photo.

My avatar is my sister’s puppy Olivia. She’s a dachshund with a little cocker spaniel too. Looks like a dachshund but has soft black fur like a cocker spaniel. Very protective of my si ster, won’t let anyone near her.

Who cares what anyone thinks?  Anyway, all the best to you and your new companion.  BTW, don't worry.  Dixie will get used to your routine and schedule.

Very pretty dog! We have decided  that Dixie didn't fit and she didn't respond to it so we have decided to go with Smokey which she seems to like and respond to and fitting since we traveled through quite a bit of smoke from the California and Oregon fires to get her. She is quite the clown and very active between naps. It's been so many years since I had a young puppy I forgot how much work it is...................but worth all of it!

I use Imgur to format my pictures for posting and after being less lazy discovered that it has tools for cropping and sizing as well as giving the proper posting options for different websites. Not bad for free.
